Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003504263
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
This is a new brake system for minimizing the turning radius of a vehicle when it makes a U-turn or parks. The minimum turning radius of a conventional vehicle has a certain limit because a conventional vehicle takes the Ackerman-Jeantaud steering principle. The object of this invention is to overcome the limit of the minimum turning radius by introducing the new concept, the one wheel brake system. This invention utilizes the phenomenon that if one wheel is braked, the other wheel is driven by the differential gear. Hence the vehicle circles around a braked wheel as its pivot. So it turns much smaller than the minimum turning radius of the Ackerman-Jeantaud steering angle.
