280124108 | Resonance vibration suppression | 11 |
20080315546 | SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE - A suspension system of the present invention pivotally supports a wheel of a motor vehicle. An upper control arm and a lower control arm are cooperable with a spindle, which supports the wheel. A vibration damper is cooperable with the upper control arm. A link interconnects the lower control arm and one of the terminal ends of the vibration damper thereby defining a common axis bisecting the link. The vibration damper moves along the common axis to absorb vibration transferred from a road surface and through the wheel. | 12-25-2008 |
20090026723 | SUSPENSION APPARATUS - Disclosed is a suspension apparatus which can be used in rear-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive type small automobiles, so as to rapidly absorb shock or vibration transmitted from wheels by use of four shock-absorbing devices. The suspension apparatus for a small car is mounted to front and rear axles including wheels and adapted to remove vibration or shock transmitted from the wheels. The suspension apparatus includes a plurality of shock-absorbing devices for absorbing shock or vibration transmitted from the wheels by use of the compressive restoring force of air or gas and the elasticity of tubes, or by use of the absorptive restoring force of oil and the elasticity of tubes. | 01-29-2009 |
20100207344 | SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE INCLUDING AN ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTUATOR - A suspension system for a vehicle, including: an electromagnetic actuator configured to generate an actuator force and including a sprung-side unit connected to a sprung portion, an unsprung-side unit connected to an unsprung portion, and an electromagnetic motor; a connecting mechanism; and a controller including a target-actuator-force determining portion, the determining portion being configured to determine a target actuator force based on: (a) a required acting force that is a force required to act between the sprung and unsprung portions; and (b) an inertial force of one of the sprung-side and unsprung-side units, while utilizing: a first transfer function by which is outputted an amount of a displacement of the one of the sprung-side and unsprung-side units when the actuator force is inputted; and a second transfer function by which is outputted an actual acting force which actually acts between the sprung and unsprung portions when the displacement amount is inputted. | 08-19-2010 |
20110042914 | Upper Support Apparatus For a Vehicle Suspension - An upper support apparatus for use in a suspension system of a vehicle is disclosed, wherein the apparatus includes an upper support plate defining at least one aperture, the upper support plate coupled to a body of the vehicle. The upper support apparatus further includes a resilient member coupled to an underside of the upper support plate, wherein at least one portion of the resilient member is adapted to protrude through the at least one aperture and wherein the at least one portion of the resilient member prevents direct contact between the upper support plate and the body of the vehicle. | 02-24-2011 |
20110248464 | SUSPENSION DEVICE HAVING ANTI-ROLL COMPENSATION - A suspension device for suspending a mass relative to a substructure. The suspension device comprises a spring/damper arrangement which is disposed between the mass and the substructure and dampens vibrations, and comprises at least one Watt's linkage. At least one of the pivot points of the Watt's linkage is movably connected to the mass and the substructure. The relative position between the pivot point, the mass and the substructure can be adjusted by at least one substantially linearly acting actuator. The suspension device is robust and suitable for determining the vertical degree of freedom of movement of a truck driver's cab, and for damping or preventing undesired movement of the driver's cab. At the same time, undesired rolling or tilting motion of the driver's cab can be actively controlled or prevented by using the actuators. | 10-13-2011 |
20120292872 | SUSPENSION STRUCTURE, BUSH STRUCTURE AND SUSPENSION CHARACTERISTIC ADJUSTING METHOD - A bush is adapted to connect a suspension link with a link support member which is one of a wheel support member and a vehicle body member. The bush includes an inner cylinder which extends in a front and rear direction and which is connected with one of the suspension link and the link support member, an outer cylinder which includes an inside circumferential surface confronting an outside circumferential surface of the inner cylinder and which is connected with the other of the suspension link and the link support member, and an elastic member interposed radially between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. The inner cylinder is formed with a bulge portion which projects radially outwards from the outside circumferential surface of the inner cylinder at a middle portion of the inner cylinder in an axial direction of the inner cylinder of the link bush. | 11-22-2012 |
20140252738 | Drive Axle for an Industrial Truck - A drive axle for industrial trucks is, by fastening mechanisms, on the one hand able to be connected to the vehicle frame and, on the other hand, connected to the axle housing. Flexible elements that take effect in the main directions of force in such a manner that they are mainly subject to pressure are arranged between the fastening mechanisms and the axle housing. | 09-11-2014 |
20150130153 | AUTOMATIC SHOCK ABSORBER SYSTEM FOR BICYCLE - An automatic control shock absorber system for a bicycle is provided. The system includes one or more sensors. A controller outputs a control signal to a damping adjuster according to the one or more sensors, such that the damping adjuster controls level of damping force based on the sensors. | 05-14-2015 |
20150367696 | ANTI-VIBRATION DEVICE - An anti-vibration device includes: an inner cylinder connected to one of a vibration generating portion and a vibration receiving portion; an outer cylinder connected to the other one of the vibration generating portion and the vibration receiving portion; an intermediate cylinder pressed in an inner periphery of the outer cylinder; a main elastic body connecting the inner cylinder and the intermediate cylinder; and a stopper elastic body independent of the main elastic body, the stopper elastic body being fixed to the intermediate cylinder and facing, in a direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the inner cylinder, the inner cylinder with at least a cavity in between, the cavity being formed through the main elastic body in the inner cylinder axial direction, wherein the stopper elastic body has an axial stopper portion that protrudes beyond the intermediate cylinder and the outer cylinder in the inner cylinder axial direction. | 12-24-2015 |
20160159183 | NOISE REDUCTION FOR REAR SUSPENSION LEAF SPRING WITH TIP INSERT - ROUND HEAD - A product is disclosed for reducing noise in a leaf spring. The product may include a spring leaf and an insert including a body that has a first surface and an opposite second surface. A post may extend from the second surface of the head and into an opening in the spring leaf. The first surface may have a first edge and a second edge with a circular arc formed by the first surface from the first edge to the second edge to contact an adjacent leaf. | 06-09-2016 |
