Japanese Patent JPS56157609
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An articulation for an articulated vehicle is disclosed which comprises first and second elements fixed respectively to each of the vehicle sections and an intermediate element, the three elements each presenting mean main planes which blend into a single horizontal plane to yield an articulation of limited thickness, the first element being articulated on the intermediate element both around a longitudinal horizontal axis and around a transverse horizontal axis, the second element being articulated on the intermediate element around a vertical axis. A preferred embodiment includes friction pads and cooperating surfaces for dampening the articulation around the vertical axis and force transducers for measuring any horizontal compressive force transmitted through the articulation.
