Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply adjust a torsional amount and arbitrarily set a position in which the torsional amount starts changing. SOLUTION: This stabilizer 1 is constituted such that a part thereof is easy to twist. An outer periphery of the stabilizer 1 is covered with a frame 2, one end of which is fixed to the stabilizer 1, and a fulcrum piece 3 is attached inside the frame 2. The fulcrum piece 3 can be moved from an outside, and a distance 10 to a contact position between the stabilizer 1 and the fulcrum piece 3 when the stabilizer 1 twists can be changed. The stabilizer 1 twists to come into contact with the fulcrum piece 3, for being integral with the frame 2 and turns to be in a reinforced state, so that torsion characteristic can be changed at a arbitrary position. Accordingly, a torsional amount is simply adjusted from outside and a position in which the torsional amount starts changing is arbitrary set without changing an attaching part of the stabilizer 1 to a vehicle body.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stabilizer having a structure capable of adjusting a twist amount.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to change the amount of torsion with a conventional stabilizer, it is necessary to change the material, the thickness, the mounting portion, and the like. It was difficult to attach to the device, and the amount of twist could not be easily adjusted. Further, even if such changes or attachments are made, only a constant twist characteristic can be provided, and a position at which the amount of twist starts to change cannot be set.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention conforms to the shape of a genuine stabilizer so that there is no interference with the vehicle body.
Research has been conducted with the aim of making it possible to easily adjust the amount of torsion and to arbitrarily set a position where the amount of torsion starts to change in a compact structure.

[0004]

A part of the stabilizer (1) has a structure that is easily twisted. The outer periphery is covered with a frame (2), and one end of the frame (2) is fixed to a stabilizer (1). A fulcrum piece (3) serving as a contact point between the frame (2) and the stabilizer (1) is mounted inside the frame (2). The fulcrum piece (3) can be moved from the outside, and the distance (10) until the stabilizer (1) comes into contact when twisted can be changed. Stabilizer (1) is twisted and fulcrum piece (3)
When it comes into contact with the frame (2), the stabilizer (1) is in a reinforced state, so that the torsional characteristics can be changed at any position.

[0005]

Since the present invention has the above configuration, it can be easily adjusted from the outside without changing the shape of the vehicle body mounting portion, and the position where the amount of twist starts to change can be set arbitrarily.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to carry out the present invention, a part of a stabilizer (1) having the same shape as that of a genuine product was cut off so as to be easily twisted. The frame (2) covering the outer periphery was formed into an integral structure advantageous in terms of manufacturing cost, assembled, and one end was fixed to the stabilizer (1) by using a fixing bolt hole (8). The contact surface between the fulcrum piece (3) and the frame (2) is slid obliquely to change the contact height. A hydraulic cylinder (4) for sliding the fulcrum piece (3) is mounted on the frame (2) so that the contact height can be adjusted from the outside. The hydraulic cylinder (4) was provided with a spring (9) for assisting the return of the piston (6). Further, a position adjusting mechanism (7) incorporating a spring (5) is provided between the piston (6) and the fulcrum piece (3) so that the fulcrum piece (3) cannot be moved by the torsion of the stabilizer (1). Is performed, the correction is automatically performed so that the position can be adjusted to an arbitrary position.

[0007]

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, it can be housed in a compact shape, so that interference with the vehicle body can be avoided, and it takes time and effort to change the shape of the vehicle body mounting portion of the stabilizer. There is no need for processing, the adjustment can be made easily from the outside, and the position where the amount of twist starts to change can be set arbitrarily.

Claims (2)

[Claims] 1. A part of the stabilizer (1) is easily twisted, its outer periphery is covered with a frame (2), and one end of the frame (2) is fixed to the stabilizer (1).
A fulcrum piece (3) serving as a contact point between the frame (2) and the stabilizer (1) is mounted inside the frame (2), and a distance (10) until the fulcrum piece (3) comes into contact with the stabilizer (1). The stabilizer that can adjust the amount of torsion by changing. 2. A stabilizer incorporating a spring (5) between a stroke adjusting section and a fulcrum piece (3) so that the distance between the piston (6) and the fulcrum piece (3) is always kept constant.
