Abstract

An articulated vehicle has a braking arrangement between the towing vehicle and the trailer to hold the two units rigidly together. The brake is controlled from the cab, giving rigidity when needed, for example when reversing into a confined space.

Description

2353985 ATICULATED REVERSING CONTROL UNIT The invention relates to the
reversing of a articulai vehicle To revers a loaded trailer into a confined space or close to loading bay the brakes page 2 will'.help to controle the trailer being controled from the cab giving rigidity when needed PAGE-2- FIGURE-1 shows the position of the roller bearings figure 2shows the.half section: ofthe rotatable unit and its shaft and its bearings I figure 3 shows the unit on its base plate and position of breaks and anti- jacknifes block in the released position page-3-shows the blocks parts page -4- the shaft and base plate Reversing has allways been the difficulty with articulatd vehicles the invention eliminatsthe problem page 2- no 3 drawing the anti-jacknife block in the.
released position wich holds the two units into one rig-ld un'it""' - A the block is under spring tension and is released from the% cab The block and the braks gives greater control on ice and snow conditions L CLATM ARTICULATED CONTROL UNIT THE BLOCK WHEN RELEASED GIVES RIGIDITYTO THE TWO UNIT,AND MAKES REVERSING EASYER THE BRAKE44%SHELPS POSITIONING OF THE TRAILERWHEN REVERSING INTO A CONFINED SPACE OR LOADING BAY.
