Abstract
Wheel suspension comprising a frame suitable for connection to a body of a vehicle and comprising a first and second wheel which together define a track width, and wherein the first wheel is connected to the frame via a first set of actuators and wherein the second wheel is connected to the frame via a second set of actuators such that by means of operating the actuators the track width is adjustable between a narrow track, characterized in that the first set of actuators overlaps in the transverse direction of the vehicle with the second set of actuators.
Claims12
A wheel suspension suitable for connection to a body of a vehicle and comprising a first and a second wheel which together define a track width and wherein, when the wheel suspension is connected to the vehicle, the first wheel is connected to the body via a first set of actuators and the second wheel is connected to the body via a second set of actuators such that by means of operating the actuators the track width is adjustable between a narrow track and a wide track, wherein the first set of actuators overlaps in a transverse direction of the vehicle with the second set of actuators, wherein each set of the first set of actuators and the second set of actuators comprises at least a front actuator and a rear actuator which extend substantially parallel and together determine a steering angle of the first and second wheel respectively, wherein each actuator of the first set of actuators and the second set of actuators is connected pivotally to the body at a respective connection point such that an independent vertical movement of the first and second wheel relative to the body of the vehicle by the wheel suspension is allowed by rotating the corresponding actuators around their respective connection point.
