20110291376 | Independent Rear Suspension - A wheel suspension system for a vehicle includes a first member pivotably coupled to a portion of the vehicle so as to be pivotable about a first rotational axis which forms an angle with a vertical plane extending through a fore-aft axis of the vehicle. | 12-01-2011 |
20120235373 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STEERING A DOUBLE-PIVOT STEERING SYSTEM OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A method and apparatus for steering wheels of at least one vehicle axle with a double-pivot steering system having a load adjusting device associated with the wheels and using the load adjusting device to modify a contact force of a wheel on the vehicle axle, during cornering, to adopt an angle of steering lock for a wheel on an outside bend that is larger than an angle of steering lock for a wheel on an inside bend. | 09-20-2012 |
20140175767 | Vehicle Having a Transverse Leaf Spring Wheel Suspension - The invention relates to a wheel suspension for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, having a transverse leaf spring arranged transversely relative to a vehicle longitudinal axis. The transverse leaf spring is supported at each of the two sides of a vehicle longitudinal center plane by at least one resilient member on a vehicle-side support which is securely connected to the vehicle superstructure or an auxiliary frame which is connected to the vehicle superstructure. The resilient member and the support form an articulated engagement. With an articulated engagement provided at each side of the vehicle longitudinal center plane. | 06-26-2014 |
20140291951 | INDEPENDENT WHEEL SUSPENSION FOR THE NON-DRIVEN WHEELS OF A VEHICLE - An independent wheel suspension for the non-driven wheels of a vehicle comprises a wheel carrier for rotatably mounting a wheel of the vehicle, the wheel carrier being connected to a first transverse link and a second transverse link. The first transverse link is configured to be torsionally stiff and comprises a U-shaped opening in the link. The first transverse link is connected to the vehicle body via two link bearings on a body side and is connected to the wheel carrier via two link bearings on a wheel carrier side. The wheel suspension includes a bearing spring supported on the vehicle body and on the wheel carrier and positioned within the U-shaped opening of the first transverse link. | 10-02-2014 |
20140353937 | MULTILINK REAR AXLE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A multilink rear axle comprises a wheel carrier, a leaf spring, a first lower control arm, an upper control arm, and at least one member. The wheel carrier can rotatably support a wheel of the vehicle. The leaf spring can extend in a width direction of the vehicle that is transverse to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The first lower control arm can extend in the width direction and is pivotably coupled to the wheel carrier at a rear half thereof. The upper control arm can extend in the width direction and can be pivotably coupled to the wheel carrier at an attachment point that is offset from the rotation axis of the supported wheel in the longitudinal direction by less than or equal to 100 mm. The at least one member can pivotably couple the leaf spring to the upper control arm. | 12-04-2014 |
20140375013 | INDEPENDENT WHEEL SUSPENSION FOR THE DRIVEN WHEELS OF A VEHICLE - An independent wheel suspension for the driven wheels of a vehicle is disclosed. The suspension includes a wheel carrier for rotatably supporting a wheel of the vehicle. The wheel carrier is connected to a torsion-resistant transverse link. The torsion-resistant transverse link is connected to the vehicle structure via two structure-side link bearings and to the wheel carrier via two wheel-carrier-side link bearings. The wheel carrier also is connected to two additional transverse links, each of the additional transverse links being connected to the vehicle structure and to the wheel carrier. The suspension also includes a carrier spring supported on the vehicle structure and on the wheel carrier, wherein the carrier spring is arranged in front of a wheel center axis and the at least two additional transverse links are arranged behind the wheel axis. | 12-25-2014 |
20150061255 | LEAF SPRING BEARING AND VEHICLE WHEEL SUSPENSION CONTAINING SAME - The present disclosure provides a leaf spring bearing for a vehicle with a transverse leaf spring. The leaf spring bearing comprises an upper bearing block and a lower bearing block. Each bearing block is formed at least partially of elastic material and comprises an upper support surface and a lower support surface between which a portion of the transverse leaf spring can be interposed. At least one of the upper and lower bearing blocks has a bearing core and an insert positioned in the elastic material between the upper and lower support surfaces so as to define three layers of the elastic material within the at least one bearing block. At least one of the upper and lower bearing blocks has two support plates arranged either outside the elastic material or at least partially surrounded by the elastic material in the area of the upper and lower support surfaces of the bearing block. In one exemplary embodiment, the support plates have closing contours arranged at their respective end regions which can be brought at least partially into engagement with each other to couple the two bearing blocks to one another. | 03-05-2015 |
20150273963 | WHEEL SUSPENSION AND AXLE INCLUDING WHEEL SUSPENSION FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A single wheel suspension is provided for a rear axle of a vehicle. The single wheel suspension may have a transverse leaf spring, a damper, and a wheel carrier. The wheel carrier can be connected to the vehicle via a transverse link connected to the wheel carrier in an articulated manner. The wheel carrier can be further connected to the vehicle via a tie rod. The transverse links may include a carrier link and a camber link. The carrier link may be connected to the wheel carrier via two connections, with the transverse leaf spring being coupled in an articulated manner to one of the transverse links or wheel carrier via a connection element, which permits relative movement between the leaf spring and the transverse link or wheel carrier the leaf spring is coupled to. | 10-01-2015 |
