Abstract
1363520 Vehicle suspensions J C STAMMREICH 25 Aug 1971 [9 Sept 1970] 39949/71 Heading B7D A vehicle suspension comprises a guide plate 16 on the vehicle frame, wheel carriers 11, 12 mounting wheels 13, 14, and respective upper and lower linkages 26-41, 126-141, 226-241, 326-341 extending between the guide plate 16 and the wheel carriers 11, 12, the motion of the linkage members being guided by slots 17, 24 in the guide plate so as to maintain the wheels in a constant camber attitude throughout operation of the vehicle, or to vary the camber in predetermined fashion. Each linkage, Figs. 1, 2, comprises a link 26, 27 connected at one end to the respective wheel carrier 12 and carrying at the other end a pin 30 which engages the slot 19 to define a first movable pivot point C. A second link 28 connected to an intermediate point on the link 26, 27 by a pin 37 defining a pivot point B carries a pin 40 which engages the slot 20 to define a second movable pivot point A. Under one wheel bump conditions, Fig. 5, movement of pivot points C, C 1 in the slots 19, 23 and movement of the pivot points B, B 1 about the points A, A 1 results in the original positive, neutral or negative camber setting of the wheel 14 being either held constant or varied in predetermined fashion according to whether the slots 19, 23 are horizontal as shown or appropriately inclined. Under roll conditions, Fig. 6, pivot points A, D, A 1 , D 1 are moved in unison in the slots 17, 20, 21, 24 by means of bars 42, 43, 44, 46, 47 connected to actuating mechanism operated by the steering gear 48 of the vehicle, Fig. 8, or by gyroscopic or pendulum controlled means, so that the camber of the wheels is maintained at a constant value during roll or varied according to the inclination of the slots 17, 20, 21, 24. The invention may be applied to a rapid transit vehicle support by a thin film of air between rails and pads on the vehicle.
