METHOD AND MEANS FOR ADDITIONALLY IMPROVING THE STABILITY AND TRACTION OF VEHICLES ESPECIALLY IN BRAKING

摘要

The stability to the ground and road-hugging, tractive capability and efficiency of vehicles, especially automobiles and particularly during braking, is materially increased and improved by a method and means operable during braking and deceleration of the vehicle whereby and wherein an air scoop or air collecting and gathering depression chamber or device comprised of at least one movable flap which is positioned towards the rear end of the vehicle and against the direction of travel is lowerable downward from the floorboard of the vehicle toward the ground so that, in combination with associated and integral means, a vacuum or suction effect is tended to be created and made between the bottom of the vehicle and the ground or roadbed over which it is traveling in order to result in and provide a positive force and influence to keep the vehicle from skidding, twisting or otherwise deviating in its course over the roadbed.
