Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the length of the wheel base of a trailer variable and to enable the trailer to turn with a small diameter, by fixing a kind pin provided to the trailer side, to an upper plate which is attached movably along a pair of right and left beams forming a part of a trailer vehicle body. CONSTITUTION:A tractor 1 is provided in the rear section thereof with a coupler 2 to which a king pin 7 on the trailer 3 side may be engaged and held. In this arrangement, the king pin 7 is suspended from the center part of a planer upper plate 9 having both side parts fastened to the lower surfaces of a pair of right and left beams 4, 4 which are provided to the vehicle body 5 of the trailer 3. This fastening is made in such a way that holes 11... formed in the outer attaching parts 10 of the beams 4 and the upper plate 9, respectively, are aligned with each other, and then bolts 12... are inserted thereinto, to which nuts 13... are fastened. Further, the bolts 12 are removed, and the upper plate 9 is moved back and forth along the beams 4, thereby it is possible to optionally adjust the length of the wheel base L.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application The present invention is used in the field of trailers towed by tractors, particularly in the field of trailer-side kingpins connected to tractor couplers.

(b) Conventional technology In general, in a mode of transportation in which a trailer is pulled by a tractor,
The distance from the front wheels of a tractor to the rear wheels of a trailer (hereinafter referred to as a small wheel base) is determined by law according to the maximum loaded weight.

例えば総重量(トラクタ、トレーラ及び積載物の合計)
が26トンの場合であればホイルベースは9.3m以上

However, since the total weight is smaller when the vehicle is empty, there is no legal problem even if the wheel base is shorter than when it is loaded.

(C) Problems that the invention aims to solve However, in the conventional structure, the coupler and king pin are fixed to the tractor and trailer, respectively, so the length of the wheel base set at maximum load cannot be changed even when the vehicle is empty. This resulted in the disadvantage that the turning radius when empty was the same as when fully loaded, making it difficult to turn around.
