WHEEL-VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC B62D57/00 B62D61/00 B62D63/02 B62K1/00 B60B19/14 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to wheeled vehicles and is intended for use in conditions of limited freedom of maneuver and on roads without hard coating. Wheel - vehicle consists of two identical hollow hemispheres to spin about element arranged between them and fixed on axis. Element performing function of user's cabin, is made in form of symmetrical ball wedge or short axially cylinder, on which flat surfaces are mounted hollow hemispheres onboard drives motor-reducers, has two equidistant support wheels mounted on pendulum circuit on axis of element in plane of longitudinal symmetry. Hollow semi-spheres are made with molded area, parallel to flat surface of element, grouser serving as external part and internal part of running track for internal contact wheel. In wheel - vehicle torque transmission to hollow hemispheres can be made through axis that provides for rigid half-axle coupling with hollow hemisphere, or directly to hollow hemisphere, which provides for axis articulation with hollow semi-sphere.

EFFECT: broader functional capabilities of wheeled vehicle.
