DEVICE TO PREVENT VEHICLE OVERTURNING Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B62D49/08 B60K28/14 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automotive industry, particularly, to appliances reducing probability of vehicle overturning in crosswise plane. Proposed device comprises storage battery, flexible transducer of vehicle angular position with pendulum and resistance bridge circuit of angular position conversion in electric signal, gas generator pyrocartridge with air cylinder and bridge circuit. Transducer of vehicle angular position comprises two differentially interconnected coil springs. Said pendulum is connected with resistor slide that features variable resistance. Outputs of bridge circuit measuring diagonal are connected to comparator inputs. Comparator output is connected to contactor. Contactor contacts connect storage battery to gas generator pyrocartridge with air cylinder. Air cylinder comprises piston con rod with end spring-loaded retainers and stop.

EFFECT: higher passive safety.
