Vehicle stabilization system

Claim 1

A STABILIZED VEHICLE SYSTEM COMPRISING A VEHICLE HAVING A GEOMETRICAL VERTICAL AXIS, A LONGITUDINAL AXIS, AND AN APPARENT VERTICAL AXIS, SAID GEOMETRICAL VERTICAL AXIS AND SAID LONGITUDINAL AXIS DEFINING A GEOMETRICAL VERTICAL PLANE, SAID APPARENT VERTICAL AXIS AND SAID LONGITUDINAL AXIS DEFING AN APPARENT VERTICAL PLANE, A SUSPENSION SYSTEM, WHEELS ON BOTH SIDES OF SAID GEOMETRICAL VERTICAL PLANE, SAID WHEELS BEING ADAPTED TO RUN UPON A ROADWAY, SAID SUSPENSION SYSTEM INCLUDING MEANS, FOR ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF SAID WHEELS WITH RESPECT TO SAID VEHICLE, SAID ADJUSTING MEANS BEING OPERATIVE TO PRODUCE EQUAL AND OPPOSITE MOTIONS OF THE WHEELS ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF SAID GEOMETRICAL VERTICAL PLANE, SAID MOTIONS MAINTAINING THE WHEELS SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL TO AND EQUIDISTANT FROM SAID GEOMETRICAL VERTICAL PLANE, WHEREIN THE RAISING OF THE WHEELS ON ONE SIDE OF SAID VEHICLE PRODUCES A CORRESPONDING LOWERING OF THE WHEELS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF SAID VEHICLE WITH AN ACCOMPANYING CHANGE IN THE HORIZONTAL SEPARATION OF SAID WHEELS, FORCE APPLYING MEANS RESPONSIVE TO AN OPERATOR''S COMMAND, MEANS TO APPLY SAID FORCE TO SAID SUSPENSION SYSTEM TO CONTROL THE DEVIATION OF THE GEOMETRICAL VERTICAL PLANE FROM THE APPARENT VERTICAL PLANE, THE CONTROL OF SAID DEVIATION SERVING TO CONTROL THE STABILZATION OF SAID VEHICLE, SAID FORCE APPLYING MEANS INCLUDING AN HYDRAULIC PISTON TO ACTUATE SAID ADJUSTING MEANS TO VARY THE ELEVATION OF SAID WHEELS WITH RESPECT TO SAID ROADWAY, WHEREBY THE RESPECTIVE ELEVATION OF SAID WHEELS ON EACH SIDE OF SAID GEOMETRICAL VERTICAL PLANE IN CHANGED IN RESPONSE TO SAID DEVIATION OF THE APPARENT VERTICAL PLANE FROM SAID GEOMETRICAL VERTICAL PLANE, SAID PISTON BEING POSITIONED WITHIN A CYLINDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH SAID DEVIATION, AND ADDITIONAL MEANS TO PERMIT THE RELATIVELY FREE MOVEMENT OF SAID PISTON IN RESPONSE TO ANY ROADWAY PRODUCED CHANGES IN ELEVATION OF THE WHEELS ON ONE SIDE OF SAID GEOMETRICAL VERTICAL PLANE.
