- the mobile can be a vehicle such as a bicycle, a motorcycle or a roller skate. It can also be a mobile moving on the water in the form of a catamaran type boat, regardless of its mode of propulsion, sail or motor. It can also be an aircraft provided with levitation surfaces that is to say wings.
- the mobile consists of a base support 1 receiving the load to be transported. This basic support is represented by a rectangular surface.
- the base support 1 is carried in the middle or on the lifting surface by two lateral supports 2 of symmetrical function.
- One of the two lateral supports 2 is also represented by a rectangular surface schematically a pad. The other is not represented by not complicating the drawing. It may be as already indicated above, pads, running gear such as wheels, rolling elements in the general sense or catamaran hulls or aircraft wings.
- These lateral supports 2 are supported on the middle.
- the base support 1 is connected to each of the lateral supports 2 by a mechanism consisting of at least two articulated assemblies 3, operating in parallel.
- Each articulated assembly 3 is composed of a balance 31 with two arms 31a, 31b, symmetrical, forming between them an obtuse angle ⁇ different from a flat angle (180 °).

Distinctly, each of the rockers 3, shown schematically, is contained in a plane PP perpendicular to the axis 33. But for reasons of practical organization, the arms 31a, 31b, real, are not necessarily contained in such a plane: it is only necessary that their projection in this plane, in the direction of the axis 33 gives two identical arms 31a, 31b, forming between them the angle ⁇ . It is the same joints 35 which are not necessarily in this plane PP but can be located at any point on the axis of the pivot 36 since the projection in the plane PP in the direction of the axes and pivots 33, 36 will be symmetrical in the PP plan.

- the rocker rotates about the axis 33 and takes a position rotated about this axis 33.
- the two arms 31a , B of the balance are inclined, so that one of the joints 35 is advanced and the other is retreated, but these joints remaining at the same height relative to the level of the plane of displacement.
- the suspension is inclined and because of the angle ⁇ between the arms, the median plane PM is no longer equidistant from the two joints 35 but approaches one and the other. 'apart from the other.

- the optimum operating condition chosen according to the invention consists in respecting a virtual hunting triangle with vertex P v .
- the triangle P v , B, C is an isosceles right triangle whose vertex Pv is the virtual hunting point of the axle arrow.
- the condition to be fulfilled according to the invention is that the projections of the ends 35 of the balance when the balance pivots about its axis of articulation 33 remain inside the two sides at 45 ° of this triangle, that is to say say inside the BPv and CPv lines.
- the projection of the lateral supports 2 move on the horizontal projection plane along two pairs of curves such as those shown in Figure 12.7.

- FIG. 11 is a combination of three diagrams intended to facilitate the explanation of the determination of the angles ⁇ and ⁇ so that the system respects the virtual hunting point and FIGS. 12.1-12.7 are diagrams showing the successive steps reflecting the calculation. angles ⁇ and ⁇ for a certain rotation ⁇ of the balance around its axis.
- This rotation is not controlled by the driver of the mobile but is produced either by the lifting of a bearing surface relative to the other when the moving surface is no longer horizontal while the median plane must remain vertical (for example while driving across a slope) or when the vehicle is tilting in a bend.
- a suspension system comprises at least two rockers and these rockers are geometrically identical (the same angle ⁇ ) and also pivoting about respective pivots inclined at the same angle ⁇ with respect to the direction d, it is sufficient to determine the angles ⁇ and ⁇ associated with a pendulum.
- This determination of the angles ⁇ and ⁇ uses the so-called virtual hunting point.
- This hunting point corresponds to a mobile traveling in a straight line and which, in the simplest case, has two points of support in a horizontal plane positioned symmetrically on each side of the axis of displacement.
- the virtual hunting point is the vertex of the isosceles right triangle whose ends of the base are the two points of support.
- the bearing points of the suspension system on the plane of displacement correspond schematically to the translation of the ends of the beam. If according to FIG. 1 1, the balance 31 is defined by its vertex A and the two ends of its base B and C, the equivalent support points, since they are translated, of the suspension system on the plane of displacement, can also be called B ⁇ and C ⁇ .
- the virtual hunting point P v is the vertex of the isosceles right triangle whose base is BC.
- the virtual hunting point Pv is obviously located on the axis X'eXe which is also the mediator of the base B and C.
- each support point B, C has its virtual hunting point located on the axis X'eXe.
- This virtual hunting point is, according to its definition given in Figure 12.1, the intersection of a line inclined at 45 ° with respect to the axis X'eXe passing respectively through point B and virtual hunting point PVB associated with point B.
- the virtual hunting point P v c of the new point C is obtained in the same way and corresponds to the intersection of the line inclined at 45 ° with respect to the axis X'eXe and passing through the point C, intersecting the axis XeX'e at the point Pvc
- the points P V B and P v c do not coincide and are distant from the distance VE ⁇ 0 as for the unbalanced device of Figure 12.8.
- the two hunting points In order for the vehicle to travel normally in a straight line despite this shift of the bearing points B and C in both the transverse direction and in the longitudinal direction according to the coordinate system, the two hunting points must coincide, that is, that is, the distance VE is zero.
- this pivoting is first projected in the vertical projection plane giving the projection points A ', B', C and then, by inverse projection, the position of the bearing points of the lateral supports 2 in the plane of displacement which, passing through the support points of the lateral supports 2, makes an angle I with respect to the vertical projection plane.
- This angle I is actually the angle of inclination of the suspension system relative to the plane of displacement which is the horizontal plane.
- the offset to be given to the projection of the triangle with respect to the axis X'eXe in the plane of displacement is determined. It is in fact the measurement of the medium displacement vector of the base M ⁇ of the base B ⁇ C ⁇ with respect to the intersection of the base B ⁇ C ⁇ with the axis X'eXe.
- the virtual hunting point of each of the points B 'and C is located on the axis XX'.
- Figure 12.2 shows the projection on the plane of displacement of the pendulum pivot, assuming that the apex of the rocker has not moved yet.
- Figure 12.7 shows the plot of the projected trajectories of the pendulum ends.
- This figure also shows the displacement of the middle M of the base and the displacement of the apex A of the balance.

- the device of the invention seen from above in a vertical equilibrium position, is represented on the Xe, Oe, Ye plane by an isosceles triangle T (O).
- the isosceles triangle T (O) represents the superposition of the basalizers.
- Each corner of the isosceles triangle T (O) represents the vertical projection on the Xe, Oe, Ye plane of the three pivot points of a beam formed in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation and oriented at an angle ⁇ with the plane Xe, Oe, Ye.
- the angle formed by the sides of the isosceles triangle (V) on the perpendicular plane PP is ⁇ .
- the vertex of the isosceles triangle T (O) corresponds both to the base support (1) and to the central pivot point of the balance, as well as to the ends of the base of the isosceles triangle T (O). correspond both to the lateral articulation points of the balance and to the resultant of the points of support of the surfaces of levitation of the lateral supports.
- the top of the isosceles triangle T (O) is positioned on the center of the Oe mark.
- X is the direction of the moving direction of the means of locomotion, the base of the isosceles triangle (TO) being oriented towards the direction of the direction and the axes of rotation being oriented dipping towards the direction from the direction, the demonstration is performed according to a device in "moderator / front" configuration.
- the distance (r) between the point Oe and R is therefore equal to 1.
- the norm of unity of the marker is defined by the length of the sides of the isosceles triangle (V) formed on a plane perpendicular to the pivot of the pendulum.
- Dt thus corresponds to the offset of the projection points of the central base of the triangle between the vertical equilibrium position and the position after a rotation ⁇ of the isosceles triangle (V).
- this triangle is subjected to translations Dt ( ⁇ ) as a function of the rotations ⁇ .

- the forks 408 are actually each constituted by a set of welded tubes combining two V-shaped and joined by a U-shaped portion carrying the fender and the articulation of the shock absorber 410, the other two ends being connected by a double joint to the body Fork 409.
- the fork bodies 409 are connected to a second balancer 417 each time by a double articulation 418 at both ends of the second beam; the second balance 417 is connected by a double articulation to the extension 420 of the main steering column 421.
- This extension 420 is generally parallel to the fork body 409 and its double articulation 419 for the top of the second balance is equivalent to the other two double joints 418 of the fork bodies 409.
- the articulated system comprising the main amount 412, the main column 421 supposed to be locked in neutral position in the main steering upright, the two rockers 413, 417, the auxiliary uprights 41 1 and the fork members 409 constitute an articulated assembly as the one described in principle in FIG. 1.
- the base support 1 is constituted by the tube of the main steering upright 412 secured to the tubes of the frame 401, the inner tube forming the steering column 421 passing through the main upright 412 connected in the upper part of the handlebar not shown and in the lower part , the inclined tube forming the extension 420 of the steering column 421.
- This inclined tube carries at the front, the double joint 419 for the second beam 417.
- the lateral supports 2 according to FIG. 1 are constituted here by FIGS. 16, 17) each by two welded tubes, carrying the fork 408 of the wheel 407 with a shock absorber system and connected to a tube end forming the lateral upright 41 1, parallel to the tube of the main upright 412 and also bearing a hinge pin for the first beam of to form a deformable parallelogram for the two lateral supports joined by the two rockers 413, 417.
- the second balance 417 which combines the suspension function and the transmission function of the steering movement to the two wheels 407.
- the first joints 418a, 419a of the second beam 417 are considered as blocked : its articulation at the top and its two joints at the ends. Only the second articulations 419b can be played with the extension 420 of the steering column 421 and the second articulations 418b carried by the fork bodies 409 connected to the auxiliary steering columns 416.
- the extension 420 bearing the top of the second beam 417 is not fixed, but carried by the steering column 421.
- this extension 420 is rotated to the left or to the right and drives the articulation 419 of the top of the balance 417 and, consequently, the two ends of the balance to rotate the wheels 407 in one direction or the other.
- This pivoting is made possible because the rear balance arm 413 with a single articulation makes it possible, for the steering function, to split the steering column 412 on either side, symmetrically, by two auxiliary elements of the steering column 41. that rotate both wheels as a single steering wheel of a bike.
- the direction of the two wheels works like that of the single wheel of a bike.
- the wheel turns without leaning.
- FIG. 17 shows, from the top view of the rear, substantially the position of the cyclist, the disposition of the first rear balance or caliper 413 with respect to the outer tube forming the amount of the steering column and the articulation of the end of this balance to the two tubes forming the auxiliary columns of steering column.
- the main steering column 421 carries, at one end, the extension 420 and at the other end, the handlebar in the manner of a usual bicycle handlebars. But this solution can also be replaced by a mounting releasing the middle part of the frame at the amount of the steering column in favor of side amounts.
- the height of the main upright 412 and of the steering column is reduced and the handlebar is removed and replaced by two half-handlebars, a left half-handlebar and a right half-handlebar, fixed to the two lateral columns of the steering column. direction 416, prolonged.
- the cycle direction movement is synchronized by the main steering column between the two auxiliary columns each associated with a wheel.
- the steering system is composed of the following elements: the extension of the steering column and the second articulation of the double articulation of the top of the second balance as well as the second articulation of the double articulation connecting each end of the second balance to the body of the fork. If it is assumed that the frame 401 of the cycle remains in a vertical plane, the pivoting movement of the main steering column 421 produces the pivoting of its extension 420 which moves the top of the second beam 417 or forward beam. This displacement movement results in a displacement movement of each of the two ends of the second beam, that is to say the double joint connecting these two ends to the fork body.
- the fork bodies 409 thus pivot in parallel with the extension 420 of the steering column to each auxiliary steering column in the auxiliary steering column.
- the two auxiliary amounts 41 1 remain motionless relative to the main amount of direction since they are blocked by the first balance which, by hypothesis, remains fixed since no inclination movement is induced in the frame.
- the steering movement is combined with a tilting motion of the frame necessary for the cycle to remain balanced in a turn. At this moment, the movements of direction and inclination combine and cause a complex displacement with inclination of the two wheels.
- the table at the bottom of Figure 18 gives the correspondence between the rotation angle ⁇ of the beam and the inclination of the mobile for values between 0 ° and 35 ° of rotation of the angle ⁇ of the balance.
