  • Publication number: 20200124116
    Abstract: A clutch comprises a bell alternatively engaged and disengaged by a rotating transmission component, wherein mutual engagement of the bell and the rotating transmission component by first engagement elements results in the bell being dragged in rotation by the transmission component in a first rotation direction, wherein the bell defines an engagement profile formed so as to be alternatively engaged and disengaged by second engagement elements dragged in rotation by the transmission component, and wherein mutual engagement of the second engagement elements and the engagement profile is a result of both the rotation of the transmission component in a second rotation direction, opposite to the first rotation direction, and the rotation of the bell in the first rotation direction.

  • Patent number: 10384739
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved control system of the trim of motorcycles with more than two wheels. More in particular, it relates to motorcycles which have at least three wheels and can lean sideways by virtue of the presence of a so-called wheel tilting system. The present invention improves on prior art HTS hydro-pneumatic systems, to improve the vehicle trim, particularly while cornering with the leaned vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20190077210
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved suspension (20), in particular for traditional two-wheel motorcycles and/or for motorcycles or vehicles with three or more wheels with at least two tilting wheels. The improved suspension (20) according to the present invention is capable of providing adequately progressive performance without simultaneous problems of excessive gradual engagement, which affect the currently known suspensions comprising gas shock absorbers. Such a result is possible by using an accumulator (70) having a variable volume operatively connected to the first accumulator (60) which is part of the traditional suspension.

  • Patent number: 10124643
    Abstract: The present invention field relates to a braking device of the tilting system of vehicles that have at least three wheels and can lean sideways by virtue of the presence a so-called wheel tilting system. The device is characterized in that it comprises an electronic control unit adapted to receive and process a plurality of signals coming from devices capable of detecting parameters related to the instantaneous dynamic behavior of the vehicle and to selectively actuate said braking means.

  • Publication number: 20100133772
    Abstract: A four wheeled motorcycle vehicle, comprising: a frame (1), two pairs of two spaced apart swing arms (2FR, 2RR) pivotally mounted thereon at both ends on swing pivot axes (21F, 21R), wherein each swing arm (2FR, 2RR) bears a front (3FR) or rear (3RR) wheel at its other end on a wheel axis (31FR, 31RR); balancer beams (6F, 6R) rotatably mounted on rotation axes (61F) on the frame (1) near their centre, and a pair of at least two linking rods (7FR, 7RR), each linking rod (7FR, 7RR) being pivotally connected to one end of a balancer beam (SF, 6R) at one end and being pivotally connected to one of said swing arms (2FR, 2RR) at its other end. In the upright position of said vehicle one end of each of said linking rods (7FR, 7RR) is positioned below the swing plane extending through both swing pivot axes (21F, 21R) and both wheel axes (31FR, 31RR) of each pair of swing arms (2FR, 2RR), and the other end of each of said linking rods (7FR, 7RR) is positioned above said swing plane.
