06 Aug 1984TL;DR: In this paper, a self-leveling cross-country vehicle is provided with a carrier frame which is pivotally mounted to the vehicle frame about the longitudinal and transverse axes.
Abstract: A self-leveling cross-country vehicle is provided with a carrier frame which is pivotally mounted to the vehicle frame about the longitudinal and transverse axes. Hydraulic cylinders are connected to each side of the mounting shafts of the carrier frame which are connected to a hydraulic pressure circuit. The wheels of the vehicle are mounted on axles which is provided with a hydraulic piston also connected to the hydraulic pressure circuit. The up and down movement of the axles as the vehicle travels over the ground actuates the hydraulic piston which levels the carrier frame with respect to the ground.

TL;DR: In this article, the drive assembly of a motor vehicle is elastically suspended on a cross member and the latter likewise elastically connected to the vehicle frame, so that the cross member forms a vibration absorber for the vibrations of the engine, clutch and gearbox.
Abstract: In order to prevent the transmission of vibrations to the vehicle body, the drive assembly of the motor vehicle is elastically suspended on a cross member and the latter likewise elastically connected to the vehicle frame. At the same time, the mass of the cross member and its elastic bearing on the vehicle frame are so matched that the cross member forms a vibration absorber for the vibrations of the drive assembly comprising engine, clutch and gearbox. In a certain speed range the vibration absorber oscillates in the opposite phase to the gearbox so that a noise reduction can be obtained.

TL;DR: In this paper, two extruded parts are used to secure the vehicle frame and the inner surface of the second part incorporates at least one projection which cooperates with the stop on opening.
Abstract: The device comprises two extruded parts, the first of which is secured to the vehicle frame and contains a recess at one end which receives the edge of e.g a roofing panel. The other end of the first part contains another recess which houses a stop. The second part is arcuate, is secured to another panel and pivots about a central ridge in the first part. The inner surface of the second part incorporates at least one projection which cooperates with the stop on opening.
