Abstract
A frame support includes an extensible carrier having a free end, a guide configured to guide the extensible carrier in an axially-movable manner, and a vertical support unit. The vertical support unit is arranged eccentrically at the free end of the extensible carrier. The frame support is adapted to be coupled to a vehicle.
Claims20
A frame support for a vehicle, the frame support comprising:
- an extensible carrier having a free end and a width at the free end;
- a guide configured to guide the extensible carrier in an axially-movable manner, the guide and the extensible carrier being arranged in an arcuate manner;
- and
- a vertical support unit,
- wherein the vertical support unit is arranged eccentrically at the free end of the extensible carrier such that a vertically-extending longitudinal center axis of the vertical support unit is offset from a longitudinal center axis of the free end of the extensible carrier but within the extent of the width of the free end of the extensible carrier,
- wherein the guide is configured to be arranged tangentially to a vehicle's longitudinal direction on only one side of a vehicle's center longitudinal axis and extend along an arc on the only one side of the vehicle's center longitudinal axis inward from a vehicle's profile longitudinal side substantially as far as a vehicle center longitudinal axis and onward therefrom as far as the vehicle's profile longitudinal side.
3 more elements
A vehicle having a longitudinal direction and a vehicle profile with longitudinal sides, the vehicle comprising:
- a first frame support assembly including an extensible carrier having a free end and a width at the free end,
- a guide positioned on only one side of a vehicle's center longitudinal axis and configured to guide the extensible carrier in an axially-movable manner along an arc on the only one side of the vehicle's center longitudinal axis, the guide and the extensible carrier being arranged in an arcuate manner and tangentially to the vehicle's longitudinal direction and extend inward from one of the vehicle profile's longitudinal sides substantially as far as a vehicle center and onward therefrom as far as the same vehicle profile longitudinal side, and
- a vertical support unit, wherein the vertical support unit is arranged eccentrically at the free end of the extensible carrier such that a vertically-extending longitudinal center axis of the vertical support unit is offset from a longitudinal center axis of the free end of the extensible carrier but within the extent of the width of the free end of the extensible carrier.
