연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A suspension assembly adapted for use in a snowmobile having a closed-loop track includes at least one ground contact engaged with the closed-loop track. An elongated swing arm is angularly disposed in the closed-loop track and extends between a front end portion adapted to be coupled to the chassis, and a rear end portion coupled to the at least one ground contact. A front resilient member is disposed in the closed-loop track and has an upper end pivotably coupled to the front end portion of the swing arm, and a lower end pivotably coupled to the at least one ground contact. A rear resilient member is disposed in the closed-loop track and has an upper end adapted to be pivotally coupled to the chassis, and a lower end pivotally coupled to the at least one ground contact. A pivot arrangement is connected to the swing arm for permitting at least rotation of the swing arm about a pivot axis extending longitudinally of the at least one ground contact. The pivot arrangement includes an arrangement for restricting and/or preventing rotation of the swing arm.

The suspension assembly of claim 1, wherein the pivot arrangement is comprised of a plate assembly connected to the front end portion of the swing arm, and pivotally connected about the pivot axis to a member adapted to be connected to the chassis of the snowmobile. 3. The suspension assembly of claim 2, wherein the plate assembly is provided with a connector adapted to couple with the upper end of the front resilient member. 4. The suspension assembly of claim 1, wherein the pivot arrangement is comprised of a plate assembly provided with a pair of plates connected together for rotation relative to one another about the pivot axis. 5. The suspension assembly of claim 4, wherein a first plate is connected to the rear end portion of the swing arm and the lower end of the rear resilient member, and a second plate is connected to the at least one ground contact such that the ground contact and swing arm are arranged for relative rotation about the pivot axis. 6. The suspension assembly of claim 5, wherein the first plate is fixedly secured to the rear end portion of the swing arm, and is pivotally connected to the lower end of the rear resilient member. 7. The suspension assembly of claim 1, wherein the at least one ground contact is comprised of a pair of spaced apart ground contacts. 8. The suspension assembly of claim 7, wherein arm alignment guards are constructed on the pair of spaced apart ground contacts for providing lateral support thereof and are configured for engagement with the swing arm. 9. The suspension assembly of claim 1, wherein the upper end of the front resilient member is provided with a first spherical joint assembly, and the lower end of the front resilient member is provided with a second spherical joint assembly. 10. The suspension assembly of claim 9, wherein the lower end of the rear resilient member is provided with a third spherical joint assembly. 11. A suspension assembly adapted for use in a snowmobile having a chassis enclosing a drive system for rotatably driving a closed-loop track, the suspension assembly comprising: at least one elongated ground contact engaged with the closed-loop track;an elongated swing arm angularly disposed in the closed-loop track, the swing arm extending between a front end portion adapted to be coupled to the chassis, and a rear end portion coupled to the at least one ground contact;a front resilient member disposed in the closed-loop track and having an upper end pivotally coupled to the front end portion of the swing arm, and a lower end pivotally coupled to the at least one ground contact;a rear resilient member disposed in the closed-loop track and having an upper end adapted to be pivotally connected to the chassis, and a lower end pivotally connected to the at least one ground contact; anda pivot plate assembly provided with a pair of separate plates having respective rear and front surfaces facing each other, the plates being connected together one in front of another for rotation relative to one another about a pivot axis extending longitudinally of the at least one ground contact, a first plate being connected to the rear end portion of the swing arm and the lower end of the rear resilient member, and a second plate being connected to the ground contact,wherein the at least one ground contact and the swing arm are arranged for relative rotation about the pivot axis. 12.
