  • Axle arrangement for a vehicle
    Patent number: 10293650
    Abstract: An axle arrangement for a motor vehicle includes two opposite wheel carriers which are connectable to a bodywork of the motor vehicle via links, and a transverse leaf spring which is connected to the two wheel carriers. The transverse leaf spring is manufactured as one piece from fiber-reinforced plastic, has at least two bands spaced apart from one another and is at least partially integrated in a shear field. The shear field extends between the two wheel carriers and on both sides is connected fixedly to the body or the bodywork of the vehicle and projects beyond the transverse leaf spring, as viewed in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
