Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle ( 1 ) of the type with four wheels ( 10 ), which consists of: a driver's cab which is only large enough to accommodate one person widthways and which is solidly connected to a chassis comprising a driver protection structure ( 4 ); and means for balancing the vehicle when negotiating bends and/or on surfaces that are inclined in relation to the horizontal, by inclining the chassis and the two front wheels simultaneously. The vehicle also comprises inclination-locking means which are actuated automatically when the vehicle is stopped or travelling at a reduced speed. The inventive vehicle further comprises means for limiting the angle of inclination to a maximum value such that, when stopped, the vehicle does not tilt.

Abstract

The vehicle, which has at least one rear wheel (5a, 5b) and two front wheels (6a, 6b), has a system that allows its body and chassis to tilt on bends so that the wheels on one side are above and the wheels on the other side are below a reference plane (Pr) perpendicular to the saggital plane of the chassis. The tilting movement is produced when the steering handlebar (15) is turned to left or right, by means of a steering bar (12) connected to the wheel hubs by horizontal arms (9a, 9b) and vertical rods (16a, 16b) in guides (17a, 17b), and a connecting piece (14) between the bar (12) and the steering column (13).

Abstract

The suspension includes a pair of arms independently pivoted to opposite sides of the vehicle chassis at one end for up-and-down movement, each arm rotatably carrying a ground-engaging wheel of the vehicle at its free end. Each arm extends in the same direction from its pivoted end, longitudinally of the chassis. A compression spring contacts and upwardly extends from each arm at a distance from its pivoted end, and a load transfer lever is fulcrumed at its center to the chassis; extends transversely of the latter; and its outer ends overly and contact the top of the respective compression springs. The suspension system is applicable to three- and four-wheel motor vehicles. Preferably, the arms are hollow and serve to house part of a transformation mechanism to the wheels, the latter being the driving wheels.; In a four-wheel vehicle in accordance with the invention, there is further provided an additional load transfer lever disposed on each side of the vehicle chassis and extending longitudinally of the same, with their ends underlying and having a slidable connection with the first-named transfer levers adjacent the springs.

Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the turnability of a vehicle having at least one set of left and right wheels in pair, by arranging such that the vehicle automatically tilts toward the center of turn of the vehicle in accordance with the steering operation of the vehicle so that control feeling similar to a motor-cycle may be obtained. CONSTITUTION:When a steering wheel 20 is rotated in the direction (a) to turn a vehicle to, for example, the right during running of the vehicle, a slide shaft 13 is moved leftward through a pinion 18 to deflect a front wheel 1 rightward.; Further, simultaneously hydraulic pressure is fed into a cylinder 23 in a suspension device 14 on the left side (right side in the figure) through a fluid change-over device (rotary valve) which is not shown and which is operated in association with the rotation of the steering wheel while hydraulic oil is discharged from a cylinder 23 in a right side suspension device 14. With this arrangement, the left side cylinder 23 is moved upward while the right side cylinder 23 is moved downward, thereby a vehicle body 2 is inclined rightward or toward the center of turn through a lower arm 4 and an upper arm 6.
