ABSTRACT:
An improved suspension system for a vehicle wheel, and particularly for single track vehicle wheels as found in motorcycles and the like. The invention comprises an improvement in a vehicle having a wheel mounted for rotation upon a transversely extending axle, whereby the axle will be maintained perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of rotation of the wheel, regardless of vertical axle movement with respect to the frame of the vehicle. In the preferred embodiment, the pressure fluid is hydraulic fluid and the wheel axis is solely connected to the vehicle frame through the fluid pressure interconnection defined by the present device. The present invention allows only vertical movement of the vehicle axis. If the wheel is being urged out of alignment, as by side stress, there is a counter flow of hydraulic fluid from one hydraulic-piston into the diametrically opposite hydraulic-piston chamber, thereby realigning the axle so that it remains perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of rotation of the wheel.
