Patent ID: 7357416

Claim:
Device for stabilizing a single-track vehicle, with a supporting device and an adjusting device which is intended for selective lowering and raising of support elements and which can be actuated by way of a control device which can be influenced as a function of control signals from a speedometer which senses the speed of the vehicle and of a transverse acceleration meter, the adjusting device comprising at least one supporting and actuating element which can be influenced in combination by way of the control device or by signals from the driver for extending and retracting the supporting device and tensioning against the supporting device, as well as means for selective locking, unlocking, tensioning and extending of the supporting and actuating element, the supporting and actuating element including a hydraulic gas spring which is closed towards the exterior and which comprises a gas chamber as volume equalization and energy store, and a hydraulic fluid chamber which is separate therefrom and a piston which is guided in the latter and which provides for a hydraulic displacement transmission, said piston being provided with a through-flow valve for hydraulic fluid adapted to be actuated by means of one of the control signals and the signal from the driver for being closed or opened, wherein the means for selective locking, unlocking, tensioning and extending of the supporting and actuating element comprises a hydraulic pump for pumping hydraulic fluid from one side of the piston to the other side of the piston or vice versa during tensioning or extending of the supporting and actuating element.
