Cambering vehicle with trailing arms interconnected by spur gearing

摘要

A three-place contact cambering vehicle having a pair of trailing arms pivoted to a front frame for up and down swinging movement on either side of the frame and interconnected by spur gearing that stabilizes and holds the frame and connected steering column at a predetermined rake angle while permitting equal and opposite movement of the trailing arms. This gearing can be locked to lock the trailing arms and frame together for vehicle parking purposes. An adjustment is provided to permit the rake angle of the frame to be selectively varied to change steering column rake angle and to further permit the frame and steering column to be collapsed toward the trailing arms and subsequently locked to provide a compact, low profile vehicle for transportation or storage purposes.
