  • Patent number: 11571967
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a vehicle (1)—preferably a tractor—with a trailer (2) operatively connected thereto with a cardan (3), said cardan (3) comprising a power take-off, said power take-off being switched off when said cardan (3) builds with said vehicle (1) and/or with said trailer (2) an angle (?) smaller than a first threshold value (a) and/or larger than a second threshold value (?) and being switched on when said angle (?) exceeds again said first threshold value (?) thanks to suitable actuators, including detection means of the angle formed between the cardan (3) and said vehicle and/or trailer. According to the present invention, said angle (?) is detected by a detector consisting of a magnetic device (4) placed on the trailer (2) or the vehicle (1) and an electronic compass (5) placed on the vehicle (1) or on the trailer (2).

  • Publication number: 20210195826
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is vehicle (1) with trailer (2) operatively connected thereto with a cardan (3), said cardan (3) comprising a power take-off, said power take-off being switched off when said cardan (3) forms with said vehicle (1) and/or with said trailer (2) an angle (?; ?) smaller than a first threshold value and/or larger than a second threshold value and being switched on when said angle exceeds again said first threshold value or goes below said other threshold value, due to suitable actuators. According to the invention, it provides angle (?) detection means between the steering wheels (5) and the axle (A) of the vehicle and means apt to correlate said angle (?) between the steering wheels (5) and the axle (A) of the vehicle (1) with the angle (?; ?) comprised between the cardan (3) and said vehicle (1) and/or said trailer (2).

  • Patent number: 10729056
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a vehicle (1) with trailer (2), operatively connected thereto through a cardan (3), comprising sensing means (4) of the angle (?, ?) between the vehicle (1) and the cardan (3), between the trailer (2) and the cardan (3) or between the vehicle (1) and the trailer (2), comparison means of the angle with a threshold angle and means (7) which disengage the power take-off upon exceeding in one direction the threshold angle and which engage It when the angle exceeds again the threshold angle in the opposite direction. The vehicle according to the present invention is a towed load.
