Articulated frame steering for agricultural or forestry vehicle - uses two pivot points between two vehicle sections, which pivot about one and/or both points

摘要

The vehicle consists of two sections, each with wheels or crawlers, etc, which are connected via an articulated steering section. The vehicle sections may be pivoted relative to each other, to change direction of travel, between a straight position and a relatively angled position. The vehicle sections (3,4) are joined to each other via two pivot points (22,23), which are located opposite to each other at right angles to the direction of travel (2). The sections are pivoted about one and/or the other of these points corresponding to the desired travel direction. Angling movement to one longitudinal side (13), beginning from a straight position, is by pivoting about the point associated with this side. USE/ADVANTAGE - Articulated frame steering for agricultural or forestry vehicle gives compact short vehicle construction, permits large steering angles.
