Abstract

843,910. Maintaining vehicle height constant. ROVER CO. Ltd. Jan. 1, 1959, No. 31/59. Class 108(2). Vehicle height is maintained constant under changes in vehicle load by varying the line of action of a suspension spring 8 by the action of a jack 11. As shown, applied to a rear axle 2 carried by trailing arms .10, coiled suspension springs 8 (1 only shown) act between respective suspension arms 10 carried by the vehicle frame 4 and a pivot 7 at the extremity of a swingable arm 5. In the normal position of the vehicle, the pivotal axis of the arm 5 with the vehicle frame at 6 is co-axial with the axis 9 of the connection of the spring 8 with the arm 10, When a change in load occurs, the jack 11 is operated to deflect the arm 5 into a position in which the axes 6 and 9 are co-axial once more. Alternatively, a single spring may be used to suspend both road wheels carried by the axle 2. In a modified construction (Fig. 4, not shown), the spring 8 acts between the pivot 7 and a pivotal connection with a transverse]y extending wishbone link type of wheel carrying member. The jack 11 may be hydraulic, pneumatic, screw actuated, or may be operated by an electric motor. Locking means may be used to hold the arm 5 in position.
