  • Patent number: 5133427
    Abstract: A vehicle engine suspension for a transverse engine has at least three engine cushions (6, 7, 8) which support the engine (3) and take up vertical loads exerted by the engine. A first torque brace (12) extends transversely to the main axis of the engine and is pivotally connected between the engine and the vehicle chassis or vehicle body. A second torque brace (21) extends transversely to the main axis of the engine (3) and is pivotally connected between the engine and the vehicle chassis or vehicle body. This second brace is located at a level beneath the first brace (12) and lies in the same upright plane as that first brace. This upright plane is disposed at right angles to a horizontal plane (H) which is the nearest common plane of the engine cushions (6, 7, 8).

  • Patent number: 5035446
    Abstract: A steering wheel arrangement for automotive vehicle, including a steering wheel (13), a steering column (12, 14) carrying the steering wheel, and servomotor (20, 21) for making positional adjustments to the steering wheel in the direction of the column axis and at angles thereto. A spring device is coordinated with switches in the electric circuits serving the servomotors. When the spring device is deformed to a given extent, as a result of an adjustment force applied to the steering wheel, the spring device will activate the switches and therewith energize the setting motors, so as to change the position of the steering wheel.
