Patent

CA 2240791

The invention is a trailing arm suspension with a steerable axle assembly having a caster angle controlling the direction at which the axle steers. A lift axle suspension or a lockout device is provided to lift the wheels from a ground engaging position or to lock the position of the wheels, respectively, permitting the operation of the vehicle in a direction opposite the direction for which the caster angle is designed. Advantageously, the lift axle suspension is of a simplified design and the trailing arm configuration is V-shaped to better absorb lateral forces.

Suspension de bras longitudinal dotée d'un essieu orientable. Un angle de chasse commande la direction du braquage de l'essieu. Une suspension pour essieu relevable ou un dispositif de verrouillage est prévu pour soulever les roues, de sorte qu'elles n'entrent plus en contact avec le sol, ou pour bloquer la position respective des roues, ce qui permet de diriger le véhicule dans une direction opposée à celle prévue pour l'angle de chasse. La suspension de l'essieu relevable de la présente invention a l'avantage d'être de conception simplifiée, et le bras longitudinal a la forme d'un V afin de mieux absorber les forces latérales.
