  • Patent number: 7802645
    Abstract: A suspension assembly for a vehicle having an endless drive track is disclosed. The suspension assembly has a slide frame assembly and a rail extension assembly pivotably connected to a rear portion of the slide frame assembly and pivots about a first axis. The rail extension assembly is pivotable between a raised position and a lowered position with respect to the slide frame assembly. A spring biases the rail extension assembly toward the lowered position. The magnitude of the biasing force of the spring is adjustable. The rail extension assembly can be prevented from pivoting from the lowered position to the raised position independently of the magnitude of the biasing force.

  • Patent number: 6942051
    Abstract: A suspension for a vehicle includes an upper A-arm and a lower A-arm. A leg with an axis is rotatably connected to both the upper A-arm and the lower A-arm. A mechanical link is rotatably connected to the leg so that movement of the mechanical link applies rotational force to the leg to cause the leg to rotate about the axis.

  • Publication number: 20050103547
    Abstract: A snowmobile is described having a frame with left and right sides with left and right suspension assembly disposed thereon. Left and right spindles are connected to the left and right suspension assemblies. A left ski is pivotally attached to the left spindle and a right ski is attached to the right spindle. Rotation of the left and right spindles alters the ski stance of the snowmobile. The stance may also be altered in other ways, which are also disclosed.
