Abstract
An adjustable rig (10) for a simulator is disclosed. The rig comprises a support frame (11) having a longitudinal axis (L), a seating module (12) couplable to the support frame, a steering module (13) couplable to the support frame, and a pedal module (14) couplable to the support frame. Each of the modules is adjustable in three directions relative to the longitudinal axis of the support frame when coupled thereto.
Claims20
An adjustable rig for a simulator, comprising:
- a support frame comprising a pair of U-shaped side members and having a longitudinal axis, wherein the U-shaped side members extend along the longitudinal axis of the support frame and a U-shaped base member extends therebetween;
- a seating module couplable to the support frame;
- a steering module couplable to the support frame;
- and
- a pedal module couplable to the support frame;
- wherein each of the modules is adjustable in three directions relative to the longitudinal axis of the support frame when coupled thereto;
- wherein each module includes lateral slide rails that provide adjustment in a lengthwise direction along the longitudinal axis of the support frame when coupled thereto;
- wherein each module includes at least a first pair of brackets that are configured to provide adjustment in at least one of a height direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support frame and an angular direction relative to the longitudinal axis of the support frame when coupled thereto;
- and
- wherein the U-shaped side members are slidably attached to the U-shaped base member facilitating adjustment of a length of the support frame along its longitudinal axis.
