<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves rotating a structure i.e. body (2), of a vehicle around an instantaneous rotational axle (27) that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis (23) of the body, where the rotational axle is located in the vicinity of an end (5) of the body. A maneuvering unit is positioned at another end (18) of the body to control the rotation of the body, where the maneuvering unit is constituted by a sling (21) that is terminated by a hook (22) and driven by a hoist (19). #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a structure inverting tool comprising stops. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Method for inverting a structure i.e. body, of a vehicle such as wheeled armored vehicle, after mounting equipments i.e. mobility units (all claimed) e.g. wheels carried by axles, on a lower face of the structure. Can also be used for inverting a structure of a tracked armored vehicle after mounting other equipments such as mechanical transmissions, running gear, and suspensions. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method inverts the structure of the vehicle in a simple, rapid, safe and inexpensive manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic side view illustrating the starting phase of a structure inverting method. 2 : Body 5, 18 : Body's ends 19 : Hoist 21 : Sling 22 : Hook 23 : Longitudinal axis 27 : Instantaneous rotational axle.</p> |
