A suspension package includes a frame having two sides and two ends positioned around a central opening. Two end panels are hinged at respective ends of the frame, and two side panels are hinged at respective sides of the frame. A product restraining hammock is mounted to extend between the end panels over the opening. In use the end panels are pivoted downwardly to tension the hammock and to suspend a product in the opening. The side panels are pivoted upwardly to space the frame array away fro...

A piston slidably fitted in a fluid chamber is operatively connected to a level regulator valve located externally of a suspension unit and hydraulic fluid is fed and discharged into and from the fluid chamber by the opening of valves operated by a vehicle operator so that the piston is moved to operate the level regulator valve for shortening and lengthening the suspension unit independently of a load applied thereto.

A suspension arm whose required strength is relatively small and which improves efficiency of space utilization. The arm body of the lower arm of a front suspension has a C-shaped cross section which is open toward the bottom. The top face of the arm body is positioned under a load acting plane. The shear center of cross section of the arm body can be positioned substantially in the vicinity of the load acting plane. A torsion caused by an input load is reduced, so that the arm body has an excel...

The present invention provides a suspension lighting fixture utilizing a chain suspension for the lamp holder, and which fixture is attached at its upper end, mechanically and electrically, to an outlet box and to conductors mounted in the ceiling, respectively. The length of the suspension chain is adjustable without requiring cutting or parting of the same. The installation may be expeditiously and cheaply made and the structure involves a minimum of materials. The invention utilizes as an ess...

A suspension for off-road vehicles having a vehicle frame supported on flexible wall, fluid distensible rollers through a plurality of support rolls rotatably mounted to the frame. Each support roll contacts at least one roller, the axes of the rolls being parallel to the axes of the rollers and positioned vertically offset by an angle between 5.degree. and 19.degree. measured from the vertical. Means is also provided for positioning the rollers relative to the support rolls and maintaining a pr...

A conveyor idler and idler terminal bearing apparatus has a one-piece molded, elongated, flexible polymer idler having a plurality of rollers formed thereon and having a tread formed on the surface thereof. Each end of the idler has an enlarged portion which is engaged by terminal supports surrounding the enlarged portion to rotatable hold the idler to its' mount. The terminal supports may have a steel pin or the like mounted thereto for mounting to the conveyor idler mount.

A suspension package includes end panels that are pivotably mounted to a base at opposite ends of the base. A product restraint such as a hammock is stretched across the end panels, and side panels are pivoted to the base on respective sides of the product restraint. At least one of the side panels includes an upper panel that can be moved into position between the end panels to hold the end panels substantially at right angles with respect to the base and to maintain the product restraint in te...

A front suspension for an automotive vehicle includes a wheel supporting member for rotatably supporting a road wheel of the vehicle. A lower link has a first end section rotatably connected to a lower section of the wheel supporting member, and a second end section connected to a vehicle body-side member so as to be swingable generally in a vertical direction of the vehicle. A connection member is rotatably installed to an upper section of the wheel supporting member so as to be rotatable aroun...

A vehicle suspension has a hub carrier (12) to which a wheel of a vehicle may be rotatably mounted, the hub carrier is connected to a chassis or sub-frame (14) of the vehicle, by means of a pair of vertically separated upper and lower suspension arms (16,18) being pivotally connected at one end to the vehicle chassis or sub-frame and at the other end to the hub carrier. The hub carrier has an arm (40) which extends upwardly from the point of connection of the hub carrier to the upper suspension ...

A suspension system for vehicles. With some vehicles, both tractor units and fixed lorries, no separate suspension is provided for the drivers cab. This can cause considerable discomfort to the driver, and changed legislation is such that with, e.g., agricultural tractors, they are not permitted on public highways unless the cab is suspended. It is desirable to provide an effective cab suspension system, an objective met by a construction including a front suspension unit, a rear suspension unit...
