Abstract
Abstract Suspension of a motor vehicle in which a mechanism for adjusting wheel camber is mounted on one of bolts connecting a steering knuckle to one of the links of a suspension guiding means. The mechanism for adjusting wheel camber has the form of a nut-screw kinematic pair defined by a threaded portion of the bolt passing through a bore in the steering knuckle and a nut secured on this bolt which nut is capable of translational motion during adjusting wheel camber and has parallel outer surfaces disposed at an angle to the axis of the threaded hole thereof. The bore in the steering knuckle is inclined at the same angle to a perpendicular passed through bearing surfaces for the bolt as the angle of the outer surfaces of the nut, this bore in the steering knuckle having in cross-section shape and dimension corresponding to the shape and dimensions of the nut.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
199 words
Suspension of a motor vehicle comprising: a steering knuckle connected to a wheel of the motor vehicle; a suspension guiding means having links connecting said steering knuckle to the body of said motor vehicle; bolts connecting one of said links to said steering knuckle; bores in said steering knuckle for the passage of said bolts therethrough; a mechanism for adjusting camber of said wheels in the form of a nut-screw kinematic pair secured on one of said bolts with the screw defined by a thread on a portion of one of said bolts passing through one of said bores of said steering knuckle and the nut mounted on said screw for translational motion during adjusting wheel camber, the nut having parallel outer surfaces arranged at an angle to the axis of its threaded hole; one of said holes in said steering knuckle being arranged at an angle to a perpendicular passed through its bearing surfaces for one of said bolts, this angle corresponding to the inclination angle of the parallel outer surfaces of said nut to its axis, this bore in said steering knuckle having in cross-section configuration and dimensions corresponding to the shape and dimensions of said nut.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
199 words
Suspension of a motor vehicle comprising: a steering knuckle connected to a wheel of the motor vehicle; a suspension guiding means having links connecting said steering knuckle to the body of said motor vehicle; bolts connecting one of said links to said steering knuckle; bores in said steering knuckle for the passage of said bolts therethrough; a mechanism for adjusting camber of said wheels in the form of a nut-screw kinematic pair secured on one of said bolts with the screw defined by a thread on a portion of one of said bolts passing through one of said bores of said steering knuckle and the nut mounted on said screw for translational motion during adjusting wheel camber, the nut having parallel outer surfaces arranged at an angle to the axis of its threaded hole; one of said holes in said steering knuckle being arranged at an angle to a perpendicular passed through its bearing surfaces for one of said bolts, this angle corresponding to the inclination angle of the parallel outer surfaces of said nut to its axis, this bore in said steering knuckle having in cross-section configuration and dimensions corresponding to the shape and dimensions of said nut.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A suspension as defined in claim 1 in which the threaded hole in the nut is offset toward one of said outer surfaces of said nut arranged at an angle to the axis of the threaded hole.
