STRUCTURE COMPRISING ARTICULATED MEMBERS FOR SUPPORTING THE BODY OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a structure (10) for supporting the body of a motor vehicle, which includes a frame (12) and means for supporting the body of the vehicle which include at least one member (30a) for supporting the body of the vehicle which is placed on the frame (12), characterized in that at least one of said supporting members is an articulated supporting member (30a) having a horizontal proximal arm (34), a rear end of which is mounted so as to rotate on a base (32) about a first vertical rotation axis (A), a horizontal distal arm (82) which is mounted so as to move on a front end of the proximal arm (34), and means for preventing the proximal arm (34) from rotating and means for immobilizing the distal arm (82) relative to the proximal arm (34), whereby the articulated supporting member (30a) is capable of occupying a number of positions for supporting the body of the vehicle.
