ABSTRACT:
A vehicle suspension system includes a modified wheel structure including an outer rim rotating upon an inner member formed substantially as a hollow cylindrical drum on an outer surface of which the rim is mounted on bearings provided between the outer surface and the inner surface of the rim. A suspension arm from the vehicle frame projects from the vehicle frame into the hollow drum for pivotal movement of the wheel relative to the suspension arm about a horizontal axis which lies substantially in the vertical central plane of the wheel. In a steering system, the suspension arm connects with a cap mounted on a post at the bottom of the inner member with a hydraulic motor driving rotation of the inner member relative to the cap for a steering action. The drive system to the wheel is transmitted through an open inner face of the drum through a hole in an outer face of the drum to a drive disc mounted on the outer face and communicating radially outwardly to the outwardly facing edge of the rim member. The suspension system does not require any cantilever effect and allows a central plane of the wheel to remain vertical at all times.
