Publication number: 20240140157Abstract: A spring link includes a link body which includes two side wall profiles which are parallel to one another at a distance and which are connected by a spring seat plate extending transversely from one side wall profile to the other side wall profile. Each side wall profile includes a side web having an outwardly directed upper collar section which extends in the longitudinal direction of the side web. The spring seat plate rests with a lateral longitudinal edge section on an upper collar section and is joined to the upper collar section. The side wall profiles of the link body are mirror-symmetrical to one another. The lower side of the link body opposite to the spring seat plate is open.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Stephan MEYER, Oliver MIELKE, Dirk VOGLER

Patent number: 11376911Abstract: A spring control arm for a wheel suspension of a motor vehicle is formed as a single-shell, essentially U-shaped sheet metal part and includes a back, spaced-apart side walls adjoining the back and each having an upper side wall region connected to the back, a lower side wall region distal from the back, and a central side wall region arranged between the upper and lower side wall regions. The spring control arm has first and a second end sections for attachment and a wider spring plate region disposed therebetween. The spring control arm has a substantially omega-shaped cross section in the spring plate region, which is more pronounced in a central longitudinal section due to outwardly projecting upper side wall sections than in an end longitudinal section of the spring plate region.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: BENTELER AUTOMOBILTECHNIK GMBHInventors: Dieter Friesen, Oliver Mielke, Stephan Meyer, Jürgen Hummelt, Thomas Klee, Manfred Bürger
