Patent number: 9855810Abstract: Energy storing suspension components having an end configured to include an eye are disclosed in combinations with bushings for use in suspension systems for wheeled vehicles and trailers. The energy storing suspension components include an axle seat portion, an end, and a limb extending between the axle seat portion and the end. The limb includes a first taper wherein the limb decreases in width as the limb extends toward the end, a second taper wherein the limb decreases in thickness as the limb extends toward the end, wherein along the limb there is at least a portion where both the first taper and second taper are present, and a third taper that is further from the axle seat portion than the first taper and wherein the limb increases in width as the limb extends toward the end.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2017Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Hendrickson USA, L.L.C.Inventors: Andrew X. Rarey, Randy Zimmerman, Carmen D. Cardillo
