Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for mounting a carried element on a carrying element in an automotive vehicle or the like. The device comprises a resiliently deformable support secured to two frame members so as to define a fluid-tight chamber, the chamber containing a fluid and being divided into two portions by a separating partition formed of a resilient annular portion affixed to one frame member and which carries a block member having at least one orifice through which the fluid is adapted to pass from one chamber portion to the other. The block member has a certain inertial mass such that the resilient portion will oscillate substantially following the displacement of the carried element when the latter vibrates at a frequency less than a particular frequency but will oscillate independently of the displacement of the carried element when the latter vibrates at a frequency greater than the particular frequency.

Abstract: A safety steering-wheel has a rim situated in front of a central hub of the wheel. Only two legs are fixed to the rim and are inclined therefrom rearwardly toward the central hub, these legs when projected onto a plane which contains the rim extending along radii of the latter which are situated relatively close to each other. At least one of these legs is fixed to the hub. Fixed to the hub or at least one of the above legs is a substantially gallows-shaped complementary portion which is situated in the vicinity of the hub, with this complementary portion situated behind the plane of the rim but forwardly of the hub. The above legs and complementary portion when projected onto a plane which contains the central axis of the hub form a substantially V-shaped configuration, the crest of which is situated adjacent the hub, the complementary portion being inclined oppositely to the legs and extending to the side of the hub axis opposite from the legs.

Abstract: Rear-end suspension for an automotive vehicle comprising a rigid cross-member mounted by means of resilient bearing assemblies on the vehicle frame or body. At each side of the vehicle is provided a substantially triangular wheel arm pivoted at two vertices of the triangle to the cross-member, the third vertex carrying the spindle on which the wheel is mounted. In view to limit the longitudinal displacements of the ends of the cross-member, each of said ends is mounted on the vehicle frame by means of two directional bearing assemblies the directional axes of which intersect substantially on the axis of the cross-member.
