Tricycle tippable on its side

摘要

The tricycle (1) has three wheels, a frame, drive and transmission. It has two steerable running wheels (2a,b) at the front, and a third wheel (3) at the read. The running wheels are steered via steering bars (4a,b). The steering bars also set the angle of the running wheels. The steering bars act on transverse rods (Da11,Da12) which form a two-part parallelogram, altering the tilt angle ( alpha ) proportionally to the reduction of the height (H) between them. The front wheels are attached to the outsides of the parallelogram by individual spring suspensions.
