Abstract

Die Erfindung betrim ein mit Rädern oder Kufen ausgestattetes Fahrzeug, insbesondere Rollbrett, das durch Gewichtsverlagerung bzw. Seitenneigung des Aufbaus gesteuert wird. Damit die Räder bzw. Kufen zur Erzielung herausragender Fahreigenschaften ein hohes Seitenführungsvermögen sowie einen stets guten Fahrbahnkontakt aufweisen - und dadurch auch einen Einsatz auf unebenen Untergründen oder im Gelände ermöglichen - sind sie einzeln aufge-hängt und vorzugsweise auch gegenüber dem Standbrett oder Aufbau abgefedert. Als Rad- bzw. Kufenaufhängung dient wie in der DE 44 26 337 C eine Verbundlenkerachse, die bei Geradeausfahrt die Eigenschaften einer Längslenkerachse aufweist (kon-stante Sturz- und Vorspurwinkel). Bei Kurvenfahrt wird durch einen kinematischen Verbund der beiden Lenker einer Achse erreicht, daß alle Räder bzw. Kufen einen Lenkwinkel zu derjenigen Seite einschlagen, zu der das Fahrergewicht verlagert ist, ohne daß sich dabei der Sturzwinkel relativ zum Brettaufbau nennenswert ändert. Dieses Mitneigen der Räder in die Kurve ist eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Übertragbarkeit hoher Querbeschleunigungen und für ein Gleitsportart-typisches Fahrverhalten. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Patentanmeldung sind Verbundlenkerachsen auf Basis von Viergelenkketten, die gegenüber der Stammanmeldung i.a. einen geringeren Bauraumbedarf aufweisen und zusätzliche kinematische Variationsmöglichkeiten bieten.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a vehicle equipped with wheels or runners, in particular a roller board, which is controlled by shifting the weight or inclining the body. So that the wheels or runners have excellent cornering ability and always good road contact to achieve outstanding driving characteristics - and thus also enable use on uneven surfaces or off-road - they are individually suspended and preferably also cushioned against the standing board or body. As in DE 44 26 337 C, a torsion beam axle is used as the wheel or skid suspension, which has the properties of a trailing arm axle when driving straight ahead (constant camber and toe-in angle). When cornering, a kinematic combination of the two links of one axle ensures that all wheels or runners turn a steering angle to the side to which the rider's weight is shifted, without the camber angle changing significantly relative to the board structure. This inclination of the wheels in the curve is an essential prerequisite for the transferability of high lateral accelerations and for a gliding sport-typical driving behavior. The subject of the present patent application are twist link axles based on four-link chains, which generally have a smaller space requirement than the parent application and offer additional kinematic variation possibilities.
