  • Patent number: 7658393
    Abstract: Complementary suspension device applicable between the hydro-pneumatic suspension systems of at least two wheels of a vehicle, which transfer the forces originating in said wheels to the aforementioned complementary device by means of displacement, and/or decanting, of the fluids of said suspension systems through the corresponding conduits, said device comprising two fluid distribution units connected in parallel by means of each joint conduit, between the hydro-pneumatic suspension systems of at least one pair of vehicle wheels, in such a way that for each pair of wheels the first distribution unit is capable of allowing the intake of fluid through the joint conduit with the suspension system of one of the wheels and, at the same time, lets fluid exit through the joint conduit with the suspension system of the other wheel, whereas the second unit only allows the intake of fluid through the joint conduits with the two suspension systems at the same time.

  • Patent number: 7168720
    Abstract: Vehicle suspension system applicable to vehicles provided with rolling arrangements that have a resistance to the roll, pitch vertical rebound, and axle crossing movement such that allows a weight distribution on every rolling arrangement. The rolling arrangements are connected to a central device that is attached to the vehicle body. The central device includes elastic devices that receive the movements and forces originated in each rolling arrangement because of the weight variations and dynamic forces created when the vehicle is traveling. Vertical forces and movements detected in the vehicle wheels are transmitted to the central device through hydraulic and/or mechanical devices.

  • Patent number: 6942230
    Abstract: An antiroll and anti-pitch device for a vehicle having four wheels provided in a two-by-two arrangement, including a central resilient element, two central actuating elements, four wheel actuating elements, and four wheel transforming elements. Each of the wheel actuating elements is associated with one of the four wheels and capable of providing a transmitting force caused by a vertical force to which the associated wheel is subjected. The central resilient element is capable of opposing a force provided by a first of the central actuating element and a force provided by a second of the central actuating elements.

  • Publication number: 20040169345
    Abstract: Vehicle suspension device, specifically applicable to vehicles provided with rolling arrangements that has a resistance to the roll, pitch vertical rebound and axle crossing such that allows a weight distribution on every rolling arrangement, being such rolling arrangements connected all to a central device that is attached to the vehicle body, and that includes elastic means that through transmission means related to each other, receive the movements or forces originated in each wheel because of the weight variations and dynamic forces created on the vehicle during its traveling.
