AUTOMOTIVE HINGE JOINT BETWEEN TWO VEHICLE PARTS AND VEHICLE WITH SUCH HINGE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B62D12/00 B62D53/02 E01C19/26 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to automotive industry, particularly, to control over articulated frame to allow motion in two wheel tracks and crossing of wheel axles. Vehicle comprises two parts each being coupled with the other hinge 1. Said hinge 1 comprises four structural elements 4, 5, 6, 7 articulated by four hinges 8, 9, 10, 11 to stay in normal position. At said position, centers of hinged 8, 9, 10, 11 form one plane and closed, in fact, fixed frame. Each of two structural elements 4, 6 forming two opposite side of fixed frame can turn in four hinge joints 8, 9, 10, 11 about rotational axis D1, D2. Said axis is located in normal position if the plane formed by two center of hinges relative to other structural elements 5, 7. One (4) of two rotary structural elements 4, 6 with one (5) of two other structural elements 5, 7, directly interconnected with one (10) of four hinges 8, 9, 10, 11, can turn from normal position relative to two structural elements 4, 7 so that center of hinge 10 jointing said two rotary structural elements 4, 5 can extend beyond the plane formed by centers of hinges in normal position while centers of other hinges 8, 9, 11 do not extend beyond said plane to allow crossing of rotational axes D1, D2 of both hinges 4, 6 relative to each other.

EFFECT: improved maneuverability, increased vehicle length.
