VEHICLE LOWERING AND LIFTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18124819 titled 'VEHICLE LOWERING AND LIFTING SYSTEM
The abstract describes a system designed to raise and lower the chassis of a vehicle using a damper and an actuation assembly.
- The system includes a damper connected to the chassis and an actuation assembly with a rotatable arm and a motor.
- The rotatable arm is connected to the damper and a control arm of the vehicle, allowing the damper to move between raised and lowered positions.
- The motor rotates the rotatable arm to adjust the height of the chassis as needed.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for adjustable suspension systems - Off-road vehicles for varying ground clearance - Racing vehicles for aerodynamic adjustments
Problems Solved: - Provides a convenient way to adjust the chassis height of a vehicle - Enhances vehicle performance and handling in different driving conditions
Benefits: - Improved control and stability of the vehicle - Customizable ride height for different purposes - Enhanced driving experience for users
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Vehicle Chassis Height Adjustment System for Enhanced Performance" This technology can be used in high-performance vehicles, off-road vehicles, and customized cars to improve handling and performance. It can also be marketed to automotive enthusiasts and racing teams looking to optimize their vehicles.
Prior Art: Readers can explore existing patents related to vehicle suspension systems, adjustable chassis components, and motorized damper systems to understand the background of this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in vehicle suspension technology, motorized damper systems, and adjustable chassis components to see how this innovation continues to evolve.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this system compare to traditional methods of adjusting vehicle chassis height? - This system offers a more efficient and precise way to adjust the chassis height compared to manual methods. 2.

Original Abstract Submitted
A system configured to raise and lower a chassis of a vehicle. The system includes a damper with a first end connected to the chassis and a second end that is opposite to the first end. An actuation assembly includes a rotatable arm and a motor configured to rotate the rotatable arm, the rotatable arm is connected to both the second end of the damper and a control arm of the vehicle. Rotation of the rotatable arm by the motor moves the damper between a raised position to raise the chassis and a lowered position to lower the chassis.
