A vehicle suspension having a trailing arm, an air spring assembly and a spacer. The spacer is removably located between the trailing arm and the air spring assembly. Either or both of the top surface or the bottom surface of the spacer are tapered.

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...

A suspension system for a tractor-drawn mower used for crops for agricultural purposes is made up of parallel links, connected at a first end to a frame and to a mowing unit at a second end. A torsion spring assembly, similar to that used for torsion axles, is used to bear a portion of the weight of the mowing unit when the mowing unit is in a lower, mowing position. All torsional stress is removed from the torsion spring when the mowing unit is in a transport position. During mowing, the weight...

A vehicular suspension includes a trailing arm and a substantially plate-like lower arm. The trailing arm is pivotably supported at its front end on a vehicle body via an elastic joint and extends from the front end toward the rear of the vehicle body. The lower arm extends in the vehicle width direction with its inner end pivotably supported on the vehicle body and its outer end fixed to a rear part of the trailing arm. A flat first seating surface of an end plate welded to the rear end of the ...

An annular surround for a loudspeaker cone wherein a radial cross-section of the surround varies around the circumferential extent of the surround, so as to accommodate peripheral expansion or contraction of the surround by bending. Thus a trough shaped cross-section of the surround may vary sinusoidally with angle around the polar axis of the surround between a semicircular and semielliptical cross-section. The trough section may bland to an adjacent portion of the surround by a fillet which al...

A girder and a suspension device is adapted for a releasable connection thereto in order to suspend objects from the girder. The girder may be supported between two vertical rails, each having at least one slot. The girder includes a section having a web portion located in the operative state of the girder in a substantially vertical plane, and at least one flange portion angled substantially 90.degree. thereto. The length of the flange portion substantially corresponds to the distance between t...

The invention is directed to a suspension package that is used to support and protect sensitive articles such as prosthetics and other medical implants when such articles are being shipped. The suspension package is comprised of a pouch, and a tray member and a cover member. The pouch is designed to be connected to and suspended between the tray member and the cover member. During shipping, the tray member and the cover member protect the packaged article to prevent damage. The pouch includes ap...

In a double wishbone suspension structure, a damper coupling part at one end of a damper is coupled to either of a pair of coupling shafts for coupling an upper arm or a lower arm and a knuckle. Since impact from a wheel is not applied to an intermediate part of an arm and no bending moment acts upon the arm, the arm is not required to be reinforced and can be significantly decreased in size and weight. A damper attachment for attaching a damper to the arm is not required and the number of parts...

A building having columns supported on footings, and a flat roof supported on the columns. The roof contains a pool of water. Bolts are embedded in each footing. The columns are mounted on leveling plates which are vertically, adjustably mounted on the bolts. The roof is leveled by adjustment of the leveling plates.

A suspension seat arrangement (1) comprising a lower frame (2) mountable to a seat mounting, an upper frame (3) connected to the lower frame (2) and movable with respect thereto, the upper frame (3) being arranged to mount a seat base (16), and a suspension arrangement (12) suspending the upper frame (3) with respect to the lower frame (2), the upper frame (3) and lower frame (2) arrangement being such that the upper frame (3) is able to move downwardly relative to the lower frame (2) so that th...
