  • Patent number: 11667167
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an elongate link arm member of a support link arm. A ball joint socket is disposed on a first longitudinal and of the link arm member. The link arm member in a sheet-metal shell construction mode is formed from sheet metal and has a cavity portion. The ball joint socket is a forging or casting from metal and possesses a fastening appendage which is configured in a materially integral manner so as to be in one piece with said ball joint socket. The ball joint socket by way of the fastening appendage engages in the cavity portion of the link arm member and is joined to the link arm member.

  • Patent number: 11376911
    Abstract: A spring control arm for a wheel suspension of a motor vehicle is formed as a single-shell, essentially U-shaped sheet metal part and includes a back, spaced-apart side walls adjoining the back and each having an upper side wall region connected to the back, a lower side wall region distal from the back, and a central side wall region arranged between the upper and lower side wall regions. The spring control arm has first and a second end sections for attachment and a wider spring plate region disposed therebetween. The spring control arm has a substantially omega-shaped cross section in the spring plate region, which is more pronounced in a central longitudinal section due to outwardly projecting upper side wall sections than in an end longitudinal section of the spring plate region.

  • Patent number: 9278596
    Abstract: A transverse leaf spring assembly for a motor vehicle includes a transverse leaf spring which is arranged transversely to the motor vehicle. A bearing unit connects the transverse leaf spring to a body of the motor vehicle and has a holder and elastic dampers. Accommodated in the holder is an adapter which has an interior space suited to a cross sectional geometry of the transverse leaf spring, with the transverse leaf spring being received in the adapter between the elastic dampers.
