Abstract: An axle/suspension system (40) for a wheeled vehicle, in which the vehicle has a frame (12), includes an integral arm structure (42) that includes an attachment member (50) for connecting the integral arm structure (42) to the vehicle frame (12). A flexible transition member (54) is connected to and extends from the attachment member (50) and a truss structure (56) is connected to and extends from the transition member (54). The flexible transition member (54) may be generally curved or angular and enables pivotal movement of the integral arm structure (42) and cooperates with the truss structure (56) to distribute forces encountered by the axle/suspension system (40). The truss structure (56) may include a truss member (72) that replaces a conventional axle tube. Optionally, two axle/suspension integral arm structures (92) may be used to capture a conventional axle tube.

Abstract: A movable subframe or slider box for tractor-trailers includes a pair of elongated, longitudinally-extending, spaced-apart, parallel main members, and a plurality of cross members which extend between and are attached to the main members to form a rigid slider box structure. The slider box includes a retractable pin mechanism for selectively positioning the slider box beneath the trailer. The slider box supports one or more axle/suspension systems which in turn support the vehicle wheels and tires. The slider box is free of hangers for pivotally mounting beams of the axle/suspension systems on the slider box. The beams instead are pivotally mounted directly on the main members. Each main member has an inverted generally U-shaped configuration which forms a channel, so that a bushing assembly end of each beam nests within the channel of its respective main member and is pivotally attached thereto.

Abstract: A movable subframe or slider for semi-trailers includes a pair of spaced-apart, parallel and longitudinally extending main members. The main members are interconnected by a pair of longitudinally spaced, parallel and transversely extending horizontal cross members, a horizontally-disposed cross-brace structure, and a pair of longitudinally-spaced, parallel and vertically-disposed cross-brace structures. One or more axle/suspension systems are suspended from hangers which are mounted on and depend from the slider structure, and a retractable pin mechanism enables selective positioning of the slider relative to the trailer body for optimum load distribution and trailer versatility during vehicle operation. The integral slider structure supports the one or more axle/suspension systems, so that concentrated loads imposed on the slider via the axle/suspension systems during operation of the vehicle generally are dissipated throughout the entire slider structure.

Abstract: A frame or subframe for a tractor-trailer for supporting one or more axle/suspension systems includes a pair of spaced-apart, parallel, elongated, and longitudinally extending main members. At least one cross member structure extends between and is connected to the longitudinal main members using structural nodes. A bonding adhesive, or other suitable means of attachment, connects the cross member structure and the structural nodes to one another and to the main members. The structural nodes distribute loads encountered during vehicle operation generally over a relatively large area thereby generally reducing the concentration of such loadings at the connections, and assist in generally evenly distributing loads between the cross member structure and the main members to effectively react lateral, longitudinal, vertical, and racking loads. The combination of greater load distribution and reduced loading concentrations allows the structure to be constructed from lighter weight materials.

Abstract: An improved locking mechanism for a movable subframe of a tractor-trailer has a pair of transversely spaced-apart main members extending longitudinally underneath a body of the tractor-trailer, at least one cross member extending between and being attached to the main members, and an axle/suspension system attached to and depending from the main members. A clamping mechanism is attached to the subframe and mechanically engages a longitudinally extending rail of the body of the tractor-trailer to selectively position the subframe relative to the body. Unwanted movement and gyrations between the subframe and the tractor-trailer body are minimized by the fore-aft clamping loads exerted on the rail and the subframe by the clamping mechanism. This allows the slider box of the subframe to be constructed of lightweight materials which in turn permits the tractor-trailer to carry larger payloads.

Abstract: Garments are provided that include feltable fibers in selected areas to provide high durability. Garments are manufactured with feltable fibers is selected areas, such as high wear or high impact areas, and are then subjected to the felting (or fulling) process to produce a garment having partially felted fibers on the selected areas. Such a garment may be a sock with felted areas selected in the heel and toe areas. Such socks have enhanced resistance to wear in these high wear areas, and therefore are useable for longer periods of time for the user of the sock.

Abstract: A frame for a heavy-duty vehicle includes a pair of spaced-apart and longitudinally-extending main members. At least two cross members extend between and are attached to the main members. Each one of at least a pair of hangers is attached to and depends from a respective one of the main members for suspending an axle/suspension system from the frame. A force distribution assembly is attached to the main members and the hangers and includes a component that deforms or shears in an extreme event. The force distribution assembly extends perpendicularly between the main members and interrupts the transmission of forces encountered by the axle/suspension system that move through each one of the hangers to its respective main member, and redirects at least a portion of such forces across said force distribution assembly and into the other one of the main members.
