Abstract

651,473. Steering trailers. SOC. ANON. A. SAURER. Nov. 12, 1947, No. 30110. Convention date, Feb. 16, 1945. [Classes 79 (iii) and 79 (v)] [Also in Group XXXII] In a steering arrangement for a trailer in a tractor-trailer combination the wheels of the front axle are mounted for castor action during forward movement and the wheels of the other axle are steered through a coupling member connected to a member on the tractor. As shown in Fig. 1 wheels of the rear axle 7 of the trailer 4 are steered by the variation in the longitudinal axes of the tractor 1 and the trailer through a rod 19 pivoted at one end to the tractor and at the other to a lever 17 pivoted on a pin 18 on the trailer, which lever is connected to a bell crank lever 15 by the coupling member 16, the bell crank lever 15 actuating a divided track rod 14 connected by steering arms 12, 13 to wheels 11, 10. The front axle 6 carries by steering pins wheels 8, 9 which are interconnected by steering arms 22, 23 and a track rod 24. The angle of the steering pins can be varied in a vertical plane to provide castor action for either forward or rearward travel by rotation of an arm 26 on the axle 6. Rotation of the arm 26 is effected by a spring urged piston 32 in a cylinder 33 pivoted on the trailer frame. The piston rod 31 is connected to toggle links 27, 28 so that the spring 35 urges the rod 31 against a stop 38 turning the steering pins on the axle 6 to the position shown in Fig. 2 for forward travel. When fluid pressure is passed into the cylinder 33 through a pipe 37 the piston 32 is urged to the right compressing the spring 35 and turning the axle anti-clockwise to give the wheels castor for rearward travel. The fluid pressure is controlled by a valve actuated by the change speed lever of the tractor or by the rotation of the propeller shaft. In a modification, Figs. 4 and 5, when the tractor and trailer are travelling rearwardly the axle 6 can be positively steered by a lever 42 being rotatively mounted but not axially displaceable on the pin 18 and connected to a bellcrank lever 44 actuating the track rod 24. The lever 17 is moved axially on the pin 18 by a piston 50 in a cylinder 52 operating a lever 45 so that a claw 46 on the lever 17 engages a depression 47 on the lever 42 and the wheels 8, 9 are positively steered by variation of the angle between the longitudinal axes of the tractor and trailer. The piston 50 is actuated by fluid pressure controlled in the same manner as that for the cylinder 33.
