Procedure for the construction, making and remaking of extended road vehicles

Abstract

A procedure for the construction, making and remaking of road vehicles in accordance with the invention makes it possible to increase the width of road vehicles, in particular standard-make road vehicles. The procedure in accordance with the invention is based on an asymmetrical extension whereby all vital parts of the driver's surroundings (steering, control assemblies and the parts of the driver's position) are kept unchanged, and need not be altered or remade. In this way the design, making and remaking are facilitated and an extension of the useful space is obtained. The procedure for the construction, making and remaking of extended road vehicles in accordance with the invention consists in keeping the vital assemblies (the driving and control assemblies) and the driver's working surroundings in their original dimensions and installation, while carrying out the extension by introducing, symmetrically or asymmetrically, or by a combination of both, an insert into the longitudinally extended vehicle. Such a construction, making and remaking keeps, essentially, all the vital parts of the original road vehicle (the control and driving parts remain unchanged). The steering wheel, the driver's surroundings with the seat and the distance between the wheels or the clamping of the front wheel remains, in any case, in the same relationship as in a series-produced, non-extended vehicle, regardless of the right- or left-hand installation of the steering wheel, or of the right- or left-hand installation of the engine.
