Abstract: An improved front-wheel suspension for buses and such, whereby the suspension for each wheel (5) substantially consists of at least one upper suspension arm (1) and at least one lower suspension arm (2); in between said suspension arms (12), a pivotable connection piece (3), whereby said connection piece (3) also is connected to the wheel axle (4) of the corresponding front wheel (5); a hydraulic shock absorber (7) and an air bellows (6) which is provided above the front wheel (5), wherein said connection piece (3) consists of a connection rod (17) showing, at its upper extremity, a part (18) connected to the upper suspension arm (1) and showing, at its lower extremity, a part (19) connected to the lower suspension arm (2), whereby the part (18) is hingeably attached to the upper suspension arms (1) by means of a bearing (20) which also carries the air bellows (6).
Abstract: Articulated bus, in particular of the type with a low floor, whereby said bus has a pulling vehicle (1), a pulled vehicle (2) and an articulated mechanism which connects both vehicles to one another and which contains a rotary junction (3) with a lower part (13) which is connected to the pulling vehicle (1) and an upper part (14) mounted thereupon in a rotating manner around an upward axis of rotation to which the pulled vehicle (2) is connected, whereby the connection between either of these parts (13 and 14) of the rotary junction (3) and the accompanying vehicle (1 or 2) is a hinged joint (20, 22 to 27) with an axis which is diametrically offset from the rotary shaft of the rotary junction (3), characterized in that the hinged joint between a vehicle (1 or 2) and either of the parts (13 or 14) of the rotary junction (3) contains two flexible supporting arms (18), which are situated on either side of the rotary shaft of the rotary junction (3), and which are each fixed to an end of the vehicle (1 or 3) on t
