ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a device for transverse displacement of a vehicle, and a vehicle provided with the device.
Vehicles are known in many modifications. However, there is no device which allows to displace or move the vehicle transversely, since the wheel pair can be turned only at a certain angle to the main axis of the vehicle. However, in many cases it is necessary to move the vehicle exactly in the transverse direction, transversely to the main axis, for example for parking into a space which is exactly equal to the length of the vehicle, as well as leaving the parking space. It is necessary also to provide moving out when the wheels with a minimal engagement with the surface or in the case of deep furrow of the roadway without a road covering. In all these cases, it is difficult or in some cases even impossible, for example placement of the vehicle between two other vehicles, to provide a transverse displacement of the restrained vehicle especially when it has great sizes.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of present invention to provide a device for a transverse displacement of a vehicle to the right and to the left from the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, for example directly after its stopping.
It is also the object of the present invention to provide such a device which utilizes energy of the vehicle and does not have a fixed connection with the vehicle itself, so that it can be used for other vehicles without the vehicle construction.
The other devices for analogous objectives (as disclosed for example in U.S. Pat. No. 2,235,595) as a rule are fixedly connected with a transmission of the vehicle, which make the construction of the vehicle complicated and more expensive. The proposed construction is very simple, introduced separately, it can be used on the vehicles of different constructions and designs.
The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the present invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
