Abstract: A vehicle suspension device includes a camber mechanism which imparts to the wheels a degree of freedom of the camber independently of vehicle rolls. The wheels are linked to the suspension elements so that the camber movement of each wheel permits, around a mean position of the wheel, an instantaneous centre of rotation (CIR r/s). A camber connection structure transmits the camber movements of one wheel to another wheel. The instantaneous position of the instantaneous centre of rotation within the camber plane for a zero camber of a wheel satisfies the following condition: Z?(0.75)Y?(0.12158)R, wherein Z and Y are the ordinate and abscissa, respectively, of the instantaneous position, and R is the wheel radius.

Abstract: A support device connects a wheel to suspension elements of a vehicle, the wheel having a radius R?. The support device includes rods articulated at their lower ends to the suspension elements and at their upper ends to the wheel carrier so as to confer on the wheel a degree of camber freedom relative to the suspension elements. The camber movement takes place around an instantaneous center of rotation. The device is also configured in such manner that Y and Z are respectively the abscissa and ordinate of the instantaneous position of the instantaneous center of rotation in the camber plane, wherein such position, during a camber deflection from 0° to 1°, satisfies the following conditions: Y?0.125*R Z??0.0625*R Z?0.66225*Y+0.

Abstract: A suspension system connects a wheel support to a vehicle body to confer on the wheel support, relative to the body, a degree of camber freedom and a degree of freedom of vertical deflection of the suspension, which freedoms are independent of one another. The suspension system includes an anti-roll device capable of controlling the roll of the body, the anti-roll device being arranged to influence the camber variation as a function of the difference between the vertical deflection of a wheel relative to that of the opposite wheel on the same axle. The system includes suspension elements whose respective inner ends are connected to a rocker for pivoting movement about respective pivot axes that are fixed spacially relative to the rocker.

Abstract: In a suspension system that connects a wheel support to a vehicle body, the wheel support is designed to carry a wheel of radius “r”, the wheel is intended to rest on the ground via a contact area, the system includes an arrangement that confers upon the wheel support, relative to the body, a degree of freedom of the camber and a degree of freedom of the deflection of the suspension that are independent of one another. The system is configured such that the camber movement of the wheel support relative to the body has, around a mean position, an instantaneous center of rotation (CIR r/c) located within a range from 2.5 r above ground to r below ground.

Abstract: A vehicular suspension device comprises a wheel carrier which is articulated relative to the suspension elements. This connection is provided by rigid connection rods. This additional degree of freedom permits variation of the camber angle independently of the suspension spring movement and of the deformations of its elements. The variation of the camber is preferably controlled by the forces sustained by the wheel in the ground contact area of the tire. This is obtained by a configuration in which the movements of the wheel relative to the body of the vehicle allow an instantaneous center of rotation which is situated beneath the plane of the ground.

Abstract: A vehicular suspension device (1) comprises a wheel carrier (31) which is articulated relative to the suspension elements (18, 19). This connection is provided by rigid connection rods (6, 7). This additional degree of freedom permits variation of the camber angle (&agr;) independently of the suspension spring movement and of the deformations of its elements. The variation of the camber is preferably controlled by the forces sustained by the wheel (2) in the ground contact area (AC) of the tire. This is obtained by a configuration in which the movements of the wheel (2) relative to the body (5) of the vehicle allow an instantaneous center of rotation (CIR r/c) which is situated beneath the plane of the ground (S).

Abstract: A motor vehicle fitted with a system for controlling the camber (&thgr;) of the wheels of the vehicle on a bend, including, for each wheel of at least one front axle and/or rear axle of the vehicle, a suspension having a pair of suspension upper and lower arms, articulated at their outboard ends to a hub carrier and attached at their inboard ends to the body of the vehicle. The lower and upper arms of each pair are articulated at their respective inboard ends to a pivot transfer lever which is, in turn, mounted on the body by an articulation, the axis of rotation of which is contained in a longitudinal and vertical plane of the vehicle, the pivot transfer lever being capable of pivoting in such a way as to incline the wheels on the appropriate side.
