Patent ID: 8020495

Claim:
A vehicle, comprising: a longitudinal axis, a first superstructure, a second superstructure, which adjoins the first superstructure in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and a pitch joint, which connects the first superstructure and the second superstructure, wherein the pitch joint is embodied as a rod assembly, the pitch joint extending substantially on one pitch joint plane and comprising two pitch joint arms, two pitch joint rods, and a coupling device, wherein the pitch joint arms are pivotally hinged to the first superstructure in the region of a first end of the pitch joint arms, each of the pitch joint rods is pivotally hinged to a second end of one of the pitch joint arms in the region of a first end of the pitch joint rods, the pitch joint rods are pivotally hinged to the second superstructure in the region of a second end of the pitch joint rods, and the coupling device couples the two pitch joint arms to each other in such a manner that the two pitch joint arms perform swiveling movements in opposite directions about their hinged points on the first superstructure, wherein the first superstructure and the second superstructure are pivotally connected via a further pivot bearing around a first pivot axis that is essentially parallel to a vertical axis of the vehicle, and hinged points of the pitch joint rods on the second superstructure lie essentially on the first pivot axis.
