TRAILER-TRAIN

摘要

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to railless vehicles. Proposed trailer-train consists of tractor and semitrailer connected by fifth-wheel coupler gear. Fifth-wheel coupler gear can receive angular turning motion and linear displacement owing to use of gear sectors engaging with gear racks installed for movement in longitudinal plane of tractor frame. EFFECT: improved efficiency of trailer-train by increasing its load capacity. 6 dwg
