To provide a power steering system for an all-terrain vehicle in which a control unit can be favorably protected from water, mud or the like coming from the ground surface at the time of operating of the vehicle on rough terrain or the like. In a power steering system for a saddle ride type four-wheel vehicle in which a rotary shaft of a power assist motor is disposed at right angles to a steering shaft and is inclined so that its upper portion is located on the rear side, a control unit for controlling the power assist motor is disposed on the upper side relative to a meshed portion between the power assist motor and the steering shaft.

The subject matter of the invention is a bellows (1) of a connection between two hinge-linked vehicles (5, 6), said bellows (1), which comprises a bellows bottom (4), a bellows roof (2) and bellows side walls (3), forming a tunnel-like tube, said bellows bottom (4) being a removable constituent part of said bellows (1), said bellows (1) having a plurality of frames (10) disposed one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of said bellows (1), said bellows bottom (4) having a plurality of ledges (20) disposed one behind the other, there being provided, to connect a respective one of a frame (10) with a ledge (20), a spring cramp (30) taking hold of the frame and the ledge, said spring cramp (30) having at least one shoulder (33) for matingly connecting frame (10) and ledge (20).

The invention relates to a flexible floor for an intercommunication bellows between two cars which, while they are traveling in a straight line, move in a longitudinal direction, said floor presenting transverse undulations enabling it to follow the relative displacements of said cars as they are going around bends, while also enabling passengers to go between the cars by walking on the top face of the floor, said transverse undulations being reinforced by metal blades extending in a transverse direction of the floor, and said floor being provided with an elastomer reinforcement interposed between the blades of each pair of said metal blades. In the floor, said elastomer reinforcements are of substantially the same transverse dimension 2L0, and each of them is constituted by at least one elastomer block, and, for at least one pair of metal blades adjacent to a longitudinal end of the floor, the elastomer reinforcement interposed between said metal blades is made up of at least two blocks which are spaced apart from the longitudinal plane symmetry of the floor, which plane is parallel to said longitudinal direction.

The invention relates to an articulated vehicle comprising a front and a rear vehicle unit, and at least one further vehicle unit connected to said rear vehicle unit, comprising a front vertical steering link arranged substantially centrally of the front vehicle unit, where said front vertical steering link is configured for pivotal attachment to a fixed load-carrying frame connecting said front and rear vehicle units, where said at least one further vehicle unit is configured for attachment to a further fixed load-carrying frame, where said further fixed load-carrying frame is releasably connectable to said fixed load-carrying frame for said connection, such that a train of vehicle units is formed connected to a load-carrying frame unit comprising said fixed load-carrying frame and said further fixed load-carrying frame.

The invention is directed to a corridor connection (1) of a connection having a bellows between two vehicles connected together by a joint (30), e.g., of an articulated bus or a vehicle with a trailer, the corridor connection (1) comprising two overlapping bottom plates (2, 3) that are slidable relative to each other, said joint (30) including a joint carrier part (20) that is disposed on the one vehicle part, the lower bottom plate (2) slidably resting on said joint carrier part (20) and the upper bottom plate (3) resting on said lower bottom plate (2) in the region of said joint carrier part (20).

The traction vehicle (1) has a twin-axle trailer (2). There is a pivot joint between the traction vehicle and trailer, which is easy to couple and uncouple. There is a corridor (10) between the traction vehicle and the trial are, which is enclosed by a bellows (11). There is a crossing bridge (12) between the traction vehicle and the trailer, forming the floor of the corridor.

The invention relates to an apparatus (12) for covering the track joint between the rotary plate (7) and the bellows of the connection (1) between two hinge-linked vehicle sections (3a, 3b), said bellows comprising two side walls (2a) that are joined together through a bellows roof (2c) at least, said track joint cover (12) having, like the bellows of said connection (1), singular corrugations or pleats (13), neighboring corrugations or pleats (13) being joined together by clamping ledges (16) in the region of their one apex at least, and the clamping ledges (16) being fastened at their one end at least to the side wall (2a) of the bellows (2) so as to be vertically movable.

The present invention relates to an articulated chassis system of large articulated vehicle, which comprises a front beam, a spherical hinge connecting structure, a front frame, a turnplate bearing, a rear frame, a rear beam and a turning angle sensing means, the front beam is connected with the front frame through the spherical hinge connecting structure, the turnplate bearing comprises an inner ring and an outer ring, the front frame is connected fixedly with the outer ring / the inner ring, the rear frame is connected fixedly with the inner ring / the outer ring, the inner ring and the outer ring can rotate relatively, the rear frame is connected with the rear beam, the turning angle sensing means is arranged between the inner ring / the outer ring and the front frame / the rear frame. Preferably, the articulated chassis system of large articulated vehicle further comprises a hydraulic damping buffer system arranged between the front frame and the rear frame, the turning angle sensing means comprises an angle sensor, a first angle sensor and a second angle sensor, the spherical hinge connecting structure comprises a spherical hinge bracket structure and a spherical hinge. The present invention is designed uniquely and skillfully, has a simple and compact structure, is easy to install, so as to enhance the safety, stability and durability of the articulated chassis system of large articulated vehicle, and lower the cost, therefore the present invention is suitable for large-scale popularization.

An intercommunicating gangway in that two successive road modules (5, 6) are connected by a detachable coupling with a minimum inter-module distance at least in the in-line configuration such that the opposite facing surfaces (3, 4) are each provided with a communicating door (8, 9) which can only be opened in when the two road modules are arranged in an in-line configuration and the vehicle is stopped. The intercommunicating gangway is suitable for use in the urban passenger transport field.
