  • Patent number: 4715648
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for extending the fenders on a vehicle body equpipped with a trim detail gripping round an edge of the body at the wheel housing opening.Modification to the wheel suspension of a motor vehicle can require increasing the width of the vehicle at the wheels, which requires an increase of the body width. Fitting fender extenders to the body by means of welding or screwing results in considerable operations on the body, the original rust protection of which is thus deteriorated.The present invention has the object of increasing the body width of a vehicle by fitting fender extenders and/or similar body members. Fitting is readily performed and requires no operations to be made on the body itself.

  • Patent number: 4089238
    Abstract: A planetary gear change-speed transmission, especially for motor vehicles in which a first group consisting of planetary gear sets provides three forward speeds and a reverse speed with one of the elements of the first group constituting a common input member for all forward speeds and another element forming the input member for the reverse speed, whereby both input members are adapted to be connected with the driving engine by way of a clutch, and in which a second group consisting of sun gear, ring gear and planet gear arranged on a carrier is operatively connected with the first group in such a manner that the output of the second group is rigidly connected with the output of the first group, the second element of the second group is adapted to be braked while a third element is adapted to be connected with a further member of the first group so as to produce four forward speeds and a reverse speed which can be engaged without group-change.
