A vehicle suspension system having a pair of hanger brackets. A first intermediate bracket dependent from a vehicle, a second intermediate bracket a pair of control arms, and a torque rod. One end of each control arm is pivotally mounted on a corresponding hanger bracket. Another end of each control arm, is pivotally attached to an axle seat. The torque arm is pivotally mounted between the first and second intermediate brackets. One end of a stabilizer bar is mounted to each control arm to increase the suspensions roll stability, and resistance to lateral deflection. In one embodiment, the stabilizer bar extends through a hole formed in each control arm, and in other embodiments, flanges extend outwardly from the stabilizer bar adjacent respective control arms for mounting the stabilizer bar to the control arms. In yet another embodiment, the stabilizer bar includes a pair of telescopically engaged square hollow tubes, with the inner tube offset with respect to the outer tube, and a plurality of bushings extend longitudinally therebetween. The pivotal connections on either end of the control arm include a flexible bushing formed with a hole, and a pivot pin extending through the hole.

A rigidified suspension is provided for a load-carrying vehicle, such as a trailer for a dual use, belly-dumping and end-dumping trailer, of the type having a frame with left and right side beams connected together and to which frame wheels are mounted through a suspension. The rigidified suspension includes left and right suspension rails, which are provided having a forward end and a rearward end and are horizontally disposed inward from and below the left and right side beams of the frame. A rear plate is fastened to said left and right side beams of the frame and extends downward therefrom adjacent to the rearward end of the left and right suspension rails. A connector brace is rigidly fastened to the rear ends of the left and right rails and to the rear plate and thereby between each other and the frame. A forward suspension brace is provided, rigidly fastening the forward ends of the left and right suspension rails to the frame and to each other. An intermediate suspension brace is provided, rigidly fastening the left and right suspension rails to the frame at a position intermediate of the forward ends and said rearward ends, so that a rigid suspension system is constructed by which a plurality of wheel axles and wheels can be connected to the frame through short vertical attachment arms.

A wheel spring support frame for attaching a leaf spring to the underside of the frame of a vehicle. The support frame has a substantially U-shaped cross-section with parallel sidewalls connected by an upper member attached to the vehicle's frame. The sidewalls have spaced, downwardly projecting flanges which oppose the flanges of the other sidewall. Reinforcing spacers extend between the sidewalls, adjacent to the flanges. Each flange has an aperture aligned with the aperture of the opposing flange for accepting a fastener. The ends of the leaf spring are supported by the fasteners.

An articulated balancer with an oscillating axle and having locking possibilities provides dynamic stability and static balance to a vehicle having a high center of gravity in rounding curves. This vehicle has three wheels, one in front and two in the rear. It rivals the maneuverability of a motorcycle, yet offers a higher level of safety and convenience than conventional motorcycles. The stability in curves is obtained by enhancing the lateral tilting of the vehicle. For this, each rear wheel must allow an up or down motion; each of these motions is opposite to the other but to the same extent. By means of "ball-and-socket" hinged joints, two connecting rods connect the balancer with the rear swinging forks, converting the balancer's rotation to an up-and-down motion. The balancer's axle allows an oscillation motion controlled by a shock absorber, that provides the rear suspension of the vehicle. The static balance and certain characteristics of its dynamic behavior are obtained by locking the rotation of the balancer.

A mounting bracket for mounting an air powered actuator for retracting the locking pins of a slider comprising a vertically disposed central position having first and second support arms extending therefrom for attachment to spaced-apart frame members of the slider frame. A horizontally disposed tube is secured to the upper end of the central portion of the mounting bracket and has an elongated rod removably received thereby. One end of the elongated rod extends through one of the frame members, while the other end of the elongated rod extends through the other of the frame members.
