<p>The present invention relates to a variable-geometry stabilizing foot, in particular for earth-moving vehicles, comprising a support member (1) able to rotate about a fulcrum (3) associated with the chassis of a vehicle to be stabilized and an extendable arm (5) slidably mounted on this support member (1) (see Fig. 1). A control linkage (9) is also provided, being hinged with the chassis (2) of the vehicle and with the extendable arm (5) for slidably moving the latter with respect to the support member (1) (see Fig. 2). The extendable arm (5) is provided at the bottom end with a support foot (8) able to perform vertical displacements when actuating means (13) move said support member (1) between a recovery position (15) and an operative position (16) (see Fig. 3). In the recovery position (15) the stabilizing foot is thus arranged so as to be retracted and take up little space on the chassis (2) of the vehicle, while in the operative position (16), the stabilizing foot is rotated through an angle ( alpha ) towards the ground with respect to the recovery position (15). The chassis (2) of the vehicle also comprises a shaped member (14) designed to receive in abutment the support foot (8) and rotate it towards the chassis (2) when the support member (1) is brought into the recovery position (15). <IMAGE></p> |
