Abstract: A wheel suspension arrangement is provided for supporting and guiding a rear wheel and wheel carrier of a motor vehicle. More specifically, a lower wheel guide linkage is provided which includes a rear guide rod arm formed as a leaf spring which extends transversely of the vehicle from the wheel carrier to a pivot bearing support at the vehicle body. A front guide rod arm assembly is also provided which includes a longitudinal strut member extending from the wheel carrier forwardly. The forward end of the longitudinal strut member is elastically supported on a bearing rotating shaft by way of an elastic bushing interposed between a sleeve of the longitudinal strut member and the rotating bearing shaft. The rotating bearing shaft is in turn connected to the vehicle body by way of a bearing, which also permits limited movement thereof about a vertical axis.

Abstract: A wheel suspension arrangement is provided for the front nondriven wheel of a motor vehicle. This arrangement includes a lower guide rod linkage connecting the wheel carrier to the vehicle frame, as well as an upper guide rod linkage also guidingly connecting the wheel carrier with the vehicle frame. The upper guide rod linkage is elastically supported at respective front and rear elastic guide rod bearings carried by a longitudinally extending axle fixed to the vehicle frame. These front and gear guide rod bearings include elastic material which is either cut away internally to form kidney-shaped recesses or is reinforced such that the bearings exhibit different elasticities depending upon the relative direction of movement of the upper guide rod linkage and the frame in the vehicle horizontal transverse direction.

Abstract: A filler valve arrangement for vehicle tires which includes a valve body having an air inlet passage and an auxiliary passage communicating therewith in which auxiliary passage is disposed and over-pressure valve which is normally biased into a closed position by an annular spring arranged in a recess or channel provided at the periphery of the valve body.

Abstract: Passenger vehicle apparatus including an adjustably movable passenger seat, a knee support arranged in facing spaced relationship with respect to the passenger seat, and interconnecting linkages interposed between the passenger seat and the knee support for automatically adjustably moving the knee support in response to adjusting movement of the passenger seat.
