    摘要: A vehicle weight sensing system particularly useful for trailers. An axle tube is mounted to the vehicle or trailer through its suspension members that may be leaf springs. A mounting block is affixed to the axle tube for mounting a strain gauge. The mounting block is fixed to the axle tube between the suspension members connected to the axle tube. The mounting block has a mounting surface opposite to the mating surface and a notch extends from the mating surface toward the mounting surface. The notch terminates between the mating surface and the mounting surface. The notch separates rigidified sections of the mounting block and the rigidified sections straddle the notch. The stain gauge measures strain in the axle and thereby generates a signal proportional to the weight on the trailer. The signal can be used to properly proportion a brake system on the trailer.

    摘要: A collapsible support structure includes at least a horizontal support structure, a vertical support structure, and an axle assembly. In use, the collapsible support structure may be folded/unfolded between a deployed configuration, in which the collapsible support structure may be capable of rolling along a support surface to transport items, and a stowed/storage position, in which the collapsible support structure is collapsed in a compact geometry for storage. The axle assembly enables removal of the wheels from the axle for storage of the collapsible support structure. The axle may be repositionable between a deployed position and a storage position. The axle may be equipped with a retainer unit that retains the axle in the deployed position.

    摘要: An axle extension member configured for attachment to an axle flange of a truck may be used to modify the truck from a standard track configuration to a wider track configuration to accommodate super single wheels. Methods for adjusting track width of a truck axle are also provided. The axle extension member includes an annular spacer portion and a spindle portion configured to receive an extended length axle shaft therethrough. The annular spacer portion is configured to abut and attach to an outboard face of the axle flange. At least one attachment feature is configured for attaching a disc brake assembly to the axle extension member.

    摘要: A vehicle component such as an axle spindle or suspension beam (3) is connected to a tubular vehicle axle (1) by fitting a connector sleeve (2) onto the axle and subjecting the assembly to a crimping operation in which plural depressions (206,2018) are formed by indentation in the connector sleeve and the axle wall at the connection region (11,12) to fix the connector sleeve on the tubular axle. In the described proposals a solid lubricant (4) such as molybdenum disulphide is applied at the connection region between the connector sleeve (2) and axle (1), before crimping. The further vehicle component (3) is then connected to the connector sleeve (2) by welding.
