ASSEMBLY TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF AN AXLE OF A VEHICLE

摘要

An assembly for adjusting the distance between a wheel axle of a vehicle and a surface of a road. The assembly comprises: an axle casing connected substantially parallel to at least one wheel axle and rotatably connected proximal to an underside of the vehicle. The assembly also includes at least one actuator arm fixed to and exact tending from the axle casing. The assembly further having at least one retraction mechanism connected in a fixed position in relation to the vehicle. The mechanism has at least one retractable linkage connected to the at least one actuator arm, which is adapted to be adjusted in length to rotate the actuator arm with respect to the vehicle.

1. An assembly for adjusting the distance between an underside of a vehicle and a ground surface, the assembly comprising:
an axle casing connected substantially parallel to the underside of the vehicle; a pair of swing arms each swing arm being resiliently and rotatably connected at a proximal end to the axle casing; a wheel axle connected at a distal end of each swing arm; an actuator arm fixed to and extending from the axle casing; a retraction mechanism associated with each actuator arm and rotatably connected in a fixed position in relation to the vehicle, the retraction mechanism having at least one retractable linkage connected to the associated actuator arm, the retraction mechanism when rotated adjusts the length of the retractable linkage to rotate the actuator arm, the axle casing attached thereto, and the swing arms with respect to the vehicle; and a shaft interconnecting the retraction mechanisms.
