DEVICE TO PREVENT VEHICLE OVERTURNING Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B60K28/14 B62D49/08 

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, rod with end spring retainers acting at thrust arranged at body side surface center and articulate with the rod secured atop the vehicle body side top.

EFFECT: higher passive safety.
