A suspension includes wheel supporting members for supporting wheels; a first leaf spring having both end portions each disposed on an upper side of one of the wheel supporting members; a second leaf spring extending along the first leaf spring; a pivot for supporting the second leaf spring on a vehicle body; a spacer provided between the first and second leaf springs; sliders fixed on the second leaf spring but being in slidable contact with the first leaf spring; and receiving pieces interpose...

A suspension of an annular secondary structure on a primary structure, in the form of a spoke-type centering device, has at least three sliding guides distributed uniformly over the structure circumference. Each sliding guide allows at least a linear relative movement of the structures transversely to their axial direction. The linear direction of movement of each sliding guide runs, in relation to the structure-related radial direction at the location of the sliding guide, at an angle having ra...

A suspension includes: wheel supporting members for supporting wheels, a leaf spring having both end portions each arranged on an upper side of the respective wheel supporting member; a pivot supporting the leaf spring, and receiving pieces interposed between the wheel supporting members and the both end portions of the leaf spring respectively. Each of the wheel supporting members includes a recess portion on which one of the receiving pieces is mounted. Each of the receiving pieces includes an...

A suspension, includes a load-carrying spring having one end indirectly supported via a spring washer by a component of a vehicle body of a motor vehicle and another end indirectly supported via a second spring washer by a wheel support assembly of the motor vehicle. Disposed at the one end of the load-carrying spring is a cup-shaped receptacle, and at the other end an abutment which has a stop surface. A slave spring is arranged in coaxial relationship to the load-carrying spring and has one en...

In order to provide a suspension which is inexpensive and light in weight and which can attain substantially improved vehicle-riding comfort without lowering drivability, an axle is hanged from a chassis side (side rails) by resilient supports (leaf and air springs) with different spring characteristics arranged forwards and rearwards of the axle. The axle 1 is allowed to make rolling motion due to difference in spring characteristic between the forward and rearward resilient supports.

A rear axle suspension for a highway truck that includes a pair of trailing arms suspended below a frame by a pair of hanger brackets. The hanger brackets define a pivot axis for the trailing arms. A supplemental axle locating member is attached to the axle and includes an extension member that is engageable with a bracket held by the frame. The hanger brackets are laterally compliant and each comprise an inner and outer plate, one of which is bent outwardly to define a gap within which an assoc...

The invention relates to a vehicle suspension system of the type wherein one end of a suspension is articulated to a chassis or vehicle body so that the axle end of the suspension is able to move vertically relative to the chassis through intermediate springs and, more specifically, wherein the sole means of articulation of the suspension to the chassis is through a pair of laterally spaced and longitudinally extending radius rods or bushed suspension arms and which suspension is able to flex to...

A suspension bracket for mounting a suspension fan having a fan motor including a motor shaft having an upper end with an enlarged support. The bracket includes a body for fixing on a ceiling, and a mount connected below the body and including a substantially horizontal aperture for engaging the support. The aperture has a side opening for accommodating the motor shaft and allowing the support to be moved laterally to the aperture. The bracket includes a fixing plate for closing the side opening...

A vehicle suspension system for use with a vehicle includes a first hydraulic cylinder, a second hydraulic cylinder, and a fluid circuit. The first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder each include an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The fluid circuit is hydraulically coupled to the first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder and includes a valve that is movable between a first position and a second position. When the valve is in the first position, the upper and...

The present invention relates to a wheelchair suspension that includes a pivoting assembly. The pivoting assembly includes at least two linkages. The pivoting assembly is structured so that the drive assists the wheelchair in traversing obstacles.
