Abstract:
A knee-action-type suspension (11) is provided with an arm member (20), a compression coil spring (21), and a shock absorber (24). The arm member (20) is supported in such a way that it is pivotable in the upward and downward directions by a pivot (31) provided on an arm mounting portion (30). The coil spring (21) is arranged between spring seats (22, 23). The coil spring (21) is extended and retracted between a full-rebound state and a full-bump state in accordance with the magnitude of a load applied to a vehicle body. A wire (40) of the coil spring (21) includes a large-diameter wire portion (40a), a small-diameter wire portion (40b), and a wire diameter varying portion (40c). The large-diameter wire portion (40a) is provided in a first portion (21a) of the coil spring (21), which is on the side near to the pivot (31). The small-diameter wire portion (40b) is provided in a second portion (21b) of the coil spring (21), which is on the side far from the pivot (31). A wire diameter (d1) of the large-diameter wire portion (40a) is greater than a wire diameter (d2) of the small-diameter wire portion (40b).
Abstract:
A strut-type suspension (11) includes a compression coil spring (12), a lower spring seat (13), an upper spring seat (14), and a shock absorber (15) which passes through the inside of the compression coil spring (12). The compression coil spring (12) is disposed at a position offset to the outer side of a vehicle with respect to the shock absorber (15). The compression coil spring (12) is mounted in a vehicle body (30) in such a state that it is compressed between spring seats (13, 14). The compression coil spring (12) includes a large-diameter wire portion (40a) and a small-diameter wire portion (40b). The large-diameter wire portion (40a) is provided in a vehicle inner-side portion (12a) of the compression coil spring (12). The small-diameter wire portion (40b) is provided in a vehicle outer-side portion (12b). A wire diameter (d1) of the large-diameter wire portion (40a) is greater than a wire diameter (d2) of the small-diameter wire portion (40b).
Abstract:
The reflection portion 20 of the reflection member 1 is moved along the inner surface in the hole of the pipe W from the entrance opening of the hole of the pipe W to the exit opening of the hole thereof. In this case, the reflection portion 20 is guided by the guide portion 30 provided at both sides of the reflection portion 20. The shots, which are projected toward the inner surface in the hole of the pipe W, reach the reflection portion 20 through the holes of the guide portion 30 of the entrance side, and they are reflected toward the inner surface in the hole of the pipe W. Since the shots can be reflected toward the inner surface inside in the hole of the pipe W, the tendency that shots may be moved toward the inner surface outside in the hole of the curved portion P can be small. Therefore, since thinning of the wall of the pipe W can be performed, the pipe W can be strong, and the weight reduction of the pipe W can be simultaneously performed. As a result, the workability and the versatility can be improved, and the reflection member 1 can be easily used on the inner surface in the hole of the pipe having the curved portion.
Abstract:
A suspension coil spring includes a lower end turn portion (42), an upper end turn portion (44), and a helical effective portion (45) formed between the end turn portions (42, 44). The lower end turn portion (42) includes a first portion (42a) which contacts a lower spring seat irrespective of a load, and a second portion (42b) which contacts the lower spring seat or is separated from the same according to the load. The wire diameter of the second portion (42b) is greater than that of the first portion (42a) and an average wire diameter of the effective portion (45). The upper end turn portion (44) includes a third portion (44a) which contacts an upper spring seat irrespective of a load, and a fourth portion (44b) which contacts the upper spring seat or is separated from the same according to the load. The wire diameter of the fourth portion (44b) is greater that of the third portion (44a) and the average wire diameter of the effective portion (45).
