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

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to machine building. Passenger cabin retaining means comprises DC source composed of storage battery and vehicle angular position converter. The latter consists of two helical differentially interconnected springs. Pendulum upper end is secured to axles of said springs. Pendulum lower end is connected with varistor slide built in one of arms of resistance bridge circuit. Outputs of bridge circuit measuring diagonal are connected to comparator inputs. Comparator output is connected to contactor with contacts connected storage battery to exploder of gas generator with air cylinder communicated with mechanical anti-overturning assembly. Air cylinder comprises piston, extending rod with end spring-loaded retainers and stop. Said stop consists of carcass coupled with panel on outer side and with rod via its bracket on inner side. Said stop comprises limiters, retainers and wheels hinged to stop carcass by levers whereat springs act from above.
