Abstract: A suspension coil spring that is to be installed between an upper side pedestal and a lower side pedestal of a strut type suspension for a vehicle includes a coil spring main body such that, in an installation state, an upper coil end is disposed on the upper side pedestal and a lower coil end is disposed on the lower side pedestal, the upper side pedestal and the upper coil end contact at two upper contact points, and the lower side pedestal and the lower coil end contact at one lower contact point. The two upper contact points are separated in a front-to-rear direction of the vehicle. The one lower contact point is disposed at a position that is in a direction toward outside the vehicle from a plane that passes through the two upper contact points and that is parallel to a coil central axis.

Abstract: An elastic support for a vibrating mass includes at least a first fixture, a second fixture and a block of elastic material bonded between the fixtures. The fixtures are capable of being subjected, as a result of excitation vibrations exerted on at least one of them, to relative vibrational displacements. At least one oscillator is fixed to one part of the block which is subjected to vibrations in phase opposition with those of one of the two fixtures. The "oscillator" function can be improved by incorporating a flexible circular comb in the block of elastic material, as well as by associating a decoupling slot in the block and a retaining ring preventing radial expansions of this block. The support is appropriate for fastening shock absorbers for vehicles.
