A stabilizer manufacturing apparatus is adapted to bond a rubber bush, which is a bush made of rubber disposed between a stabilizer and a vehicle body, to a rubber bush bonding location where an adhesive layer of the stabilizer is formed. The stabilizer manufacturing apparatus is provided with: a curing furnace for heating the stabilizer, which is conveyed by a manufacturing line conveying unit and has the rubber bush bonding location with which the rubber bush is press-contacted, and performing the bonding; a heat source device that heats air; a blower device that sends the air heated by the heat source device as hot air; and a plurality of nozzles that are disposed along the manufacturing line conveying unit in the curing furnace and blow the hot air against, at a near position from, a location in the vicinity of the rubber bush bonding location of the stabilizer.

A narrow track tilting vehicle includes an undercarriage centered over a contact point, an upper chassis configured to pivot about a mobile longitudinal axis, and a cradle assembly configured to allow the mobile axis to move laterally relative to the contact point. In wheeled embodiments, the configuration of the carriage allows the upper chassis to tilt in response to centrifugal forces, while allowing the wheels to remain perpendicular to a level surface along which the vehicle is traveling. When the vehicle is traveling along a surface that is canted relative to the level surface, the configuration of the carriage allows to the upper chassis to remain upright relative to the level surface, and the wheels to extend perpendicular to the canted surface.

The invention relates to structural components of vehicles, and more particularly to the suspension of both conventional and special vehicles, such as ambulances, baby carriages and wheelchairs. The suspension comprises a quadrangular frame with a pair of arms attached thereto, where the ends of said arms are configured to be connected to the hubs of the respective wheels, and the suspension of the present invention comprises two pairs of armsa pair of identical transverse arms and a pair of identical longitudinal arms with the ends of the longitudinal arms configured to be connected to the hubs of the respective wheels, wherein each arm is rotatably attached by its central zone to the central portion of the corresponding side of a quadrangular frame through rubber-metal joint, wherein the arms contact surfaces are cylindrical, they are adapted for mechanical coupling of arms to each other and are oriented as follows: longitudinal left and right arms have their contact surfaces oriented upwards, while transverse front and back arms have their contact surfaces oriented downwards, contact surfaces of each arm are tangent to the plane extending through the axis of rotation of the arm and are located on one side of it, while each side of the quadrangular frame rests upon the hubs of two wheels through the corresponding arm. Each transverse and longitudinal arm is made as a pair of arms spaced apart and connected by at least one connecting rod, and each such spaced arm has the form of a parallelogram. The invention is based on the objective to provide the suspension, which is more reliable due to lower level of mechanical stresses in the suspension mechanisms, which results from creation of the conditions where the function of the mechanism for changing the direction of rotation is performed by a transverse arm having a length equal to the width of the suspension.

A rear wheel steering system includes a vehicle that has a solid rear axle, a first drive shaft, a second drive shaft and a steering system. The solid rear axle includes a pair of rear wheels and the solid rear axle is pivotally coupled to the vehicle. A gear box is coupled to the vehicle and the gear box is operationally coupled to the steering system. The gear box is positioned at an intersection between the first drive shaft and the second drive shaft. Moreover, the gear box engages the second drive shaft such that the gear box urges the second drive shaft into the selected angle when the steering system is manipulated. In this way the solid rear axle facilitates the rear wheels to steer the vehicle in conjunction with front wheels of the vehicle.
