Abstract
490,881. Motor vehicles. VARILLA, G. BUNAU-. Oct. 26, 1937, Nos. 29246, 29247, 29248, and 29249. Convention dates, Nov. 17, 1936, Nov. 26, 1936, Nov. 27, 1936, and Dec. 12, 1936. [Classes 79 (ii), 79 (iii), and 79 (iv)] In a motor vehicle, the propelling mechanism is divided into two groups respectively located at or towards opposite ends of the chassis, one of the groups comprising the motor 5 and its accessories, the other group comprising the clutch mechanism 9, change speed gear 10 and differential 11. The weights are thereby more evenly distributed and in the case of a rear engine and front wheel drive, the elements to be controlled are in the vicinity of the driver's seat. One or both groups are rigidly attached to the chassis frame in such manner that the centre of gravity of the group is below the frame and approximately directly above the corresponding axle. The vehicle frame is preferably formed with a low floor portion 3 and raised ends 2 mounted on full elliptic springs 4, the axles 8, 14 being dropped between the ends which carry the wheels, the front wheels being driven and steered, and telescopic half-axle shafts with constant velocity universal joints proceeding from the differential to the wheels between the upper and lower halves of the suspension springs. The propeller shaft is formed in sections connected by constant velocity universal joints, the front driving block 9 ... 11 being inclined so that the inclined front shaft portion 21 passes below the floor where it is jointed to an oppositely inclined portion 22 coupled to the engine shaft 24. In a modification, the propeller shaft includes a horizontal section suspended in bearings below the floor 3 between the inclined sections 21, 22.
