Abstract

1,032,031. Articulated vehicles. YORK TRAILER CO. Ltd. Feb. 4, 1963 [Feb. 8, 1962], No. 4883/62. Headings B7D and B7H. A temporary axle for use with tractors and semi-trailers comprises a pair of double or single wheels 6 mounted on an axle carried by a pair of leaf spring assemblies 3 from a framework 2 the front portion of which is tapered so that it can readily ride over the rear end of a tractor and is provided with a downwardly depending king-pin 8 carried in a cradle 10 for engagement with the fifth wheel coupling of a tractor. The trailing axle frame mounts a fifth wheel coupling 14 upon trunnions 16 which allow it to rock slightly whereby the downwardly depending king-pin of a semi-trailer can be aligned with the entrance slot. The device enables a four-wheel tractor to be converted to a sixwheel vehicle and facilitates the interchangeability of trailers. A pair of spring hanger posts 20 align the device with the tractor.
