Wheel Suspension Trailing Arm and Method Making Same
A wheel suspension unit of a motor vehicle, for example a trailing arm, the trailing arm produced, at least in part, from a fiber-reinforced plastic. The trailing arm including a molded member or tube formed of braided and/or wound continuous fibers. The continuous fibers of the molded member or tube interlinked with a plastic matrix. The shape of the molded member or tube predefines the basic shape of the trailing arm with the trailing arm being of a curved and/or angled design

CHASSIS WITH HIGH MOVEMENT SUSPENSION
The present invention provides a wheeled conveyance (10) having a chassis (12) having a first base member (12a) and having a longitudinal axis X, a plurality of wheels (14, 16, 18, 20) and a suspension system (22) between one or more of the plurality of wheels (14, 16, 18, 20) and the chassis (12), wherein said suspension system (22) has on or more front arms (24a, 24b) extending in a generally forward (F) and outward direction (O) and being mounted to the chassis (12) for substantially vertical movement about a pivot axis A-A or B-B which extends at an acute angle of a relative to longitudinal axis X. The arrangement is more able to absorb shock and more stable than arrangements of the prior art.
Side-by-side vehicle
The present invention relates to all terrain vehicles having at least a pair of laterally spaced apart seating surfaces.

Caster wheel with constant force mechanism
A wheel assembly includes a wheel having an axle, and a constant force mechanism coupled to the wheel. The constant force mechanism includes a horizontal support, a horizontal carriage associated with the horizontal support, a vertical support oriented perpendicular with respect to the horizontal support, a vertical carriage associated with the vertical support, and a rigid arm that is pivotally coupled with the horizontal carriage, the vertical carriage, and the axle. The rigid arm is coupled with the vertical carriage at a point intermediate where the rigid arm is coupled with the horizontal carriage and the axle. The horizontal carriage is capable of being urged along the horizontal support, and the vertical carriage is capable of being urged along the vertical support.
