LEG KING PIN DEVICE

摘要

An apparatus for mounting auxiliary components such as a seat, a camera platform (20) or the like at or near the bearings which support the dolly wheels (12) or articulated legs (16) includes at least one cap member and receiving tube. Each cap member is arranged so as to transfer any force placed on the receiving tube directly onto the vehicle frame (14) rather than the bearings associated with the leg kingpin system. The cap members also serve to exclude contaminants from the bearing means of the leg kingpin system. Rotation of the leg kingpin driveshaft is not impeded by the receiving tube. A groove in one of the cap members permits the locking of the leg locking pin in the disengaged position.
