Abstract: A suspension system includes a damper assembly to provide an anti-roll capability to a vehicle torsion bar suspension system. The damper assembly is attached to each torsion bar. To selectively couple and decouple the rotational motion of the torsion bars. In one embodiment the damper assembly selectively links rotational motion of the torsion bar anchor arms to transfer an anti-roll force form one suspension link to the opposite suspension link.

Abstract: A self-steering auxiliary axle assembly having an elastic member for use as a steering damper is provided. The axle assembly has a frame with an axle supported by the frame in spaced relation therefrom with retracted and highway positions. At least one air spring is arranged between the axle and the frame. The air spring is actuateable between an operative mode for damping the axle in the highway position and a non-operative mode when in the retracted position. The axle has opposing ends with spindle assemblies pivotally supported thereon for permitting rotation of said spindle assemblies relative to said axle. Steering arms extend from the spindle assemblies. A control rod interconnects the steering arms for linking the spindle assemblies together. The elastic member interconnects one of the steering arms and the axle for damping the rotation of the spindle assemblies relative to the axle.

Abstract: The S.S. Suspension is a pro-active progressive shocking system. The system consists of a front and rear mounted shocking system. The shock mounts adjust to compensate for the external forces on the vehicle. The shock absorbers are mounted to this mounting system in coil over fashion. The S.S. Suspension allows the tires on a vehicle to keep a more consistent and aggressive grip on the contact surface. The suspension allows the chassis to float between the front and rear shocking systems which creates nearly zero chassis roll and an extremely low center of gravity. The suspension system also allows for more controllable vehicle handling over unlevel terrain. This innovative design allows the vehicle to react separately from the suspension system.

Abstract: Anchoring system of spring to vehicle axle and spring for vehicle axle, of the type where, in a co-ordinate representation the spring acts as OX co-ordinate axis and the vehicle axle as OZ co-ordinate axis, and which has two flanges which are rigidly attached to the axle and are joined together by means of screws, which cross the body of the spring which is gripped between the two flanges, according to OZ axis.

Abstract: The invention is a mechanical suspension system for cab-over tractors, specifically those used in terminal transport having two front cushion dual suspension components on the front pivot area of the cab to tractor frame connection and a single rear cushion dual suspension component on the rear of the tractor frame at the cab-over latch area, the three point dual suspension system providing a more stable suspension package than the four point and other single suspension systems.

Abstract: An attachment of a vehicle axle to an axle suspension of a vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle, includes a first plate element arranged on the upper side of the vehicle axle, a second plate element arranged on the lower side of the vehicle axle, and at least one spring clip, which connects the vehicle axle to an axle spring suspension of the axle suspension via the plate elements. To simplify assembly and mounting of this attachment, at least one web which is attached on its upper side to the first plate element and on its lower side to the second plate element may be arranged on each side of the vehicle axle so that the vehicle axle is completely surrounded and enclosed by the webs and the plate elements.

Abstract: The present invention is for a device for mounting of wheels so that they may move in a preferably vertical direction at right angle to the wheel shaft. The invention is also standing board for prams having such wheel mounting. At its from end the standing board has a mounting means by which the standing board is pivotably mounted to the rear axle of a pram the main direction of movement of which is shown by arrow. The turning shaft of the wheel is mounted in a movable sleeve the movements of which are controlled both by a brushing which surrounds the sleeve and by a tube which is partially inserted into a groove in the sleeve. A spring is placed into the groove in the sleeve so that the spring contacts both the bottom of the groove and the end of the tube which penetrates the groove.

Abstract: A wheel suspension system for motor vehicles has a horizontally positioned spring-and-damper unit which, by way of levers and links, interacts with wheel carriers of opposite wheels. In order to design the wheel suspension system in a favorable manner with respect to space requirements while ensuring proper functioning of its components, a horizontally positioned spring-and-damper unit and a lever, which can be swivelled about an axis which is upright or relatively slightly inclined, are provided for each side of the wheel. The lever is applied by way of a first lever section to the spring-and-damper unit and is connected, by way of a second lever section as well as a first link to one of the wheel carriers. The lever is connected to a stabilizer by way of a third lever section as well as a second link.

Abstract: A suspension arm bushing of a vehicle adapted to complement characteristics of bushing applied to a suspension arm to thereby decrease deformation thereof, the bushing comprising: an outer pipe fixed to one end of a suspension arm; an inner pipe positioned at an inner side f the outer pipe; and a clockwork-type cushion spring inserted between the outer pipe and the inner pipe, one end thereof being coupled to an inner surface of the outer pipe and the other end thereof being coupled to an outer surface of the inner pipe, for absorbing external force transmitted to the outer pipe and the inner pipe.

Abstract: The invention provides a wheel suspension for a vehicle, wherein both a right wheel and a left wheel are carried by a linkage having a first end section and a second end section. The first end section is connected to the vehicle on the opposite side of the vehicle in relation to the respective wheel, and the second end section is likewise connected to its respective wheel. The invention is particularly significant in that the linkages are substantially U-shaped. Each linkage has two legs which are mainly parallel and extend in a substantially transverse direction of the vehicle. The free ends of the linkages constitute the first end section. The linkages also have a closed section connecting the legs. This closed section constitutes the second end section, whereby an open space is defined between the legs of each linkage. At least one leg on one of the linkages extends into the open space between the legs of the other linkage.
