Abstract: A leaf spring assembly in which the leaves, except for the longest or spring-eye leaf, the leaf adjacent thereto, and the shortest leaf, are formed from bar stock by cutting same with an ogee or sloped S-shaped die section without producing any resultant scrap; cambering and heat treating the individual leaves in the conventional manner; and assembling same such that each successive leaf is shorter than the predecessor leaf and its ogee-shaped end is mounted in the oppositely disposed attitude relative to the predecessor leaf, with substantially full length contact therebetween, without providing for conventional tip inserts or leaf separators therebetween.
