vehicles with sloping frames

Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle, the vehicle: has a main frame (1), fastened to the main frame at least one contact element (3a), at least one contact element is for example a wheel, a skateboard, a rail chain or a floating body, the at least one contact element (3a) The element can be steered by means of a pivot steering device; it has a tilt frame (2) which is tiltable relative to the main frame (1) and has a tilt axis (35); has a steering tube (6) which has a tilt axis (35) relative to the tilt axis ( 35) Steering axis (59) extending obliquely or vertically; having at least one tie rod (7); and having a tie rod actuating element (39). The tie-rod actuating element (39) is movable relative to the tilt frame (2) and through tilting of the tilt frame (2) about the tilt axis (35) and independently thereof through the steering tube (6) about the steering axis (59) rotation, the tie rod actuating element is actuated such that the steerable contact element (3a) is caused by the at least one tie rod (7) to perform a steering movement without causing the at least one steerable contact element (3a) to perform a steering movement during turning. Significant variation of the camber angle of the contact element (3a).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vehicle having a main frame to which is fixed at least one contact element, in particular a wheel, a slide, a track rail or a floating body, said at least one contact element being able to be steered by means of a pivot and steering; have a tilt frame, the tilt frame can be tilted by the driver relative to the main frame and have a tilt axis; have a steering tube, and the steering tube has a steering axis that extends obliquely or perpendicularly to the tilt axis; has at least one tie rod; and has At least one tie rod actuation element. Background technique [0002] In particular, on a vehicle, the steering tube can also be tilted relative to the main frame. [0003] In relation to the invention disclosed in this application, the term "tie rod" includes any configuration of steering transmission element by which movement of the tie rod actuating element is transmitted to the pivotal steering of the steerable contact element....

Problems solved by technology

Due to the high placement of the ride combined with the driver's high center of gravity, the tendency of the vehicle to tip over when cornering is not greatly reduced
