| Abstract: |
Described is a mobile apparatus (10) having at least one wheel (14) which is rotatable about a wheel axle (12). A main body (16) of the apparatus is mounted swingingly on the wheel axle (12). Oscillating movements of the main body (16) about the wheel axle (12) are compensated by means of a compensating weight (68) which is definedly movable out of the normal rest position by means of a regulator (56). A drive device (18) is provided on the main body (16) for driving the at least one wheel (14) of the mobile apparatus (10). The wheel axle (12) has at least one differential (20) which is operatively connected to the drive device (18) and which is arranged between the at least one wheel (14) and an associated pinion (36) which is operatively connected to the associated regulator (56) and to the corresponding compensating weight (68) or to the compensating weight (68) formed by the respective regulator (56).

What is claimed is:
1. A mobile apparatus having a first wheel which is rotatable about a wheel axle, a main body which is mounted swingingly on the wheel axle and the centre of gravity of which is beneath the wheel axle, a compensating weight which compensates for oscillating movements of the main body about the wheel axle and which is movable in a defined manner by means of a first regulator from the normal rest position in which the overall centre of gravity of the apparatus is perpendicularly beneath the wheel axle, and a drive device provided on the main body for driving the first wheel of the mobile apparatus, wherein the wheel axle of the first wheel has a first differential which is operatively connected to the drive device and which is arranged between the first wheel and an associated pinion which is operatively connected to the associated first regulator and to the associated compensating weight.
