    摘要: A converter dolly is disclosed for use with a tandem trailer arrangement. In accordance with an important aspect of the invention, the converter dolly is multi-functional and is user configurable. In particular, the converter dolly in accordance with the present invention includes an adjustable saddle can be adjusted to fit any conventional trailer. The saddle is carried by a wheeled cart, which includes a fifth wheel assembly for coupling to a tandem trailer. The saddle is configured to seat a tandem trailer. The height of the saddle relative to the underside of the tandem trailer is user configurable. In an extended position, the tandem trailer is seated in the saddle which prevents rotation of the tandem trailer with respect to the converter dolly thus eliminating one of the three pivot points in a conventional tandem trailer arrangement. In order to provide steering for the tandem trailer, the wheels on the wheeled cart are carried by self steering axles.

    摘要: A short span fifth wheel hitch comprising a hitch plate, at least one back rib, a peripheral flange connected to ends of the back rib, and a main rib extending between the back rib and a portion of the peripheral flange, with the main rib being connected to ends of the peripheral flange. The fifth wheel hitch also includes skirts extending from the hitch plate adjacent the back rib. At least two pairs of mounting ribs are located interior of the peripheral flange and the back rib, each pair of mounting ribs including aligned apertures for accepting a mounting pin therein, whereby a mounting bracket can be inserted into a space between the mounting ribs of each pair of mounting ribs and the mounting pin can be placed through the aligned apertures and the mounting bracket to connect the fifth wheel hitch to a tractor.

    摘要: A rollover warning and detection method for a transport vehicle is adaptively adjustable to take into account the CG height of the vehicle. Measures of the vehicle speed, lateral acceleration and yaw rate are sampled during normal driving conditions and used to estimate the CG height of the vehicle. The centrifugal acceleration acting on the vehicle is calculated as the product of vehicle speed and yaw rate, and the CG height is estimated based on the relationship between the calculated centrifugal acceleration and the measured lateral acceleration. The estimated CG height of the vehicle is used to adjust various calibrated rollover detection thresholds so that algorithm outputs such as rollover warnings automatically take into consideration vehicle loading effects.

    摘要: A slider assembly provides a connection between a vehicle body and a vehicle suspension. The slider assembly includes a frame and a locking mechanism attached to the frame. The locking mechanism s a locking pin that is connected to an extension spring, a pivot arm that is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and a compression spring that is connecting the pivot arm and the locking pin. When the pivot arm is in the locked position, the compression spring does not exert a bias on the locking pin and the extension spring exerts a bias on the locking pin so as to bias the locking pin into engagement with the vehicle body so as to secure together the vehicle body and the vehicle suspension. When the pivot arm is in the unlocked position, the compression spring exerts a bias on the locking pin that overcomes the bias of the extension spring on the locking pin thereby biasing the locking pin out of engagement with the vehicle body so that the vehicle body is slidable with respect to the vehicle suspension.

    摘要: A triple axle suspension for use in a vehicle having a front axle, a medium axle and a rear axle mounted in triple axle relationship. It makes use of rigid beams to support the axles. It also makes use of equalizers to interconnect the beams, and it is devised in such a manner that one end of each beam is free to slide within the adjacent supporting structure. This suspension is very simple in structure and very efficient to equalize the load of any axle over all the axles of the triple axle suspension. When the axles are motorized, the suspension is also efficient to balance the pulls exerted by the wheels supported by the axles.

    摘要: A modular passenger semi trailer incorporating a vehicle construction technique in which the assembled passenger and alternate industrial embodiment modules observe structural strength, weight and balance and fail safe design considerations. The modular passenger semi trailer cabin module, including all interior seating and equipment, is assembled as a single unit upon a single, top, flat production joint face of the lower structure module, that module having a plurality of closed box beam compartments. A substantially sized cylinder compartment at the rear of the vehicle houses a pneumatically, reciprocally operative piston assembly containing a unipoint suspension which operates cooperatively with a wheel unit in the lower portion of the compartment. The wheel unit is captively located by a wheel shaft and cam block, swivel block external members, sandwiched, acting cooperatively within a forward and aft set of vertically disposed guideplates, the wheel unit operative along its vertical, longitudinal and lateral axis.
