摘要:
Opposite ends of a torsion beam are connected to left and right trailing arms, and a spindle which supports a wheel is secured to a spindle support plate which is welded to each of the left and right trailing arms. Bent flanges which are formed in the outer periphery of a body of the spindle support plate, are fitted to the outer periphery of the end of trailing arm and secured by welding. With this arrangement, thermal warp of the body of the spindle support plate which supports spindle can be prevented, and not only can the mounting precision of the spindle be improved, but also the thickness of the spindle support plate can be reduced to reduce the weight.

Process for fabricating an axle that includes a cross-member and arms which are assembled to extremities of the cross-member, wherein the process includes forming a cross-member, forming at least one arm, arranging the cross-member and the at least one arm in a fastening position, and fastening together in a rigid manner the cross-member and the at least one arm using a magneto-forming process. Wherein the fastening occurs while the cross-member and the at least one arm are in the fastening position and at least one of the cross-member and the at least one arm include at least one metallic material. This abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

The invention relates to a vehicle undercarriage (1) or chassis for a vehicle, especially for a four-wheeled, driven vehicle for transporting at least one person. At least one main frame (2) is provided, said main frame (2) being configured as an arrangement of closed hollow profiles. The main frame (2) also has diametrically opposed torsion springs (4), whose axis of revolution runs crosswise in relation to the direction of travel. The torsion springs (4) are connected to side hollow profiles (3) of the main frame (2) with gusset plates (5). A flexurally resistant connecting pin (7) is provided on the torsion springs (4) with an oscillating lever (6), the connecting pin having a mounting (8) at its ends for the wheels.

A vehicle axle, for example for a driven; undriven, steering or trailer system, comprises a member (1) formed as a hollow monocoque structure which includes at least one integral location (3, 20, 23) formed in the structure as a low stress area adapted to receive an attachment (24, 31, 34) thereto for use of the axle in a vehicle. The monocoque structure may be rigid, or substantially so, or it may include one or more compliant portions. It distributes throughout the member stresses to which the member is subjected when the axle is use in a vehicle and parts of the structure may be specifically shaped to suit the particular stresses to which they will be subjected when in use. In one embodiment the monocoque structure includes an axle beam part of a hollow lobed cross-section which gives roll compliance without necessarily having to add resilient components. In this embodiment trailing arms (4) are formed as an integral part of the monocoque structure which forms part of a trailing suspension system.

A rear suspension apparatus for a motor vehicle having a differential gear case (2) disposed between rear right- and left-wheels (1R, 1L), which is of a torsion beam type. In the rear suspension apparatus, a central portion (12a) of a torsion beam (12) for rotatably supporting the rear right- and left-hand wheels (1R, 1L) is curved to run along the configuration of the differential gear case (2), and is disposed at the rear of the differential gear case (2). A suspension damper (16) stretched between the torsion beam (12) and the vehicle body is disposed to be inclined upwardly and forwardly.

摘要:
A drive axle suspension for maintaining a differential pinion gear at a substantially constant position in response to engine torque induced or vehicle roll induced twisting forces acting on the differential axle housing. The drive axle suspension comprises a trailing arm having one end pivotally mounted to the vehicle through a hanger bracket, depending from a frame rail of the vehicle, and another end connected to the vehicle frame rail through an air spring. The trailing arms have a blade-like configuration that permits the blades to twist longitudinally and bend laterally to relieve the axle twisting forces that would otherwise rotate the differential and undesirably rotate the pinion gear, changing its angular orientation.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle comprising steerable front wheels supporting the vehicle and rear wheels supporting the vehicle, at least one rear wheel of which is coupled, by means of an at least substantially horizontal axle journal extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, to a wheel suspension arm (1) extending at least substantially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The wheel suspension arm (1) is capable of pivoting movement with respect to the other part of the vehicle about a horizontal pivot axis extending at least substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, whereby said rear wheel is capable of pivoting movement against spring force about an upwardly extending pivot axis (8) with respect to said wheel suspension arm from the position intended for normal forward movement The upwardly extending pivot axis (8) is positioned behind the axle journal of the rear wheel, seen in the intended direction of forward movement. The axle journal of the rear wheel is attached to a wheel suspension member, which is capable of pivoting movement with respect to said wheel suspension arm about said upwardly extending pivot axis (8) and which is capable of tilting movement about a tilting axis extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, whilst a coupling rod (18) is provided between a coupling point which is located on said wheel suspension member and is spaced from the upwardly extending pivot axis by some distance and a coupling point which is located on said wheel suspension arm, which coupling rod is provided with resilient means, all this in such a manner that the distance between said coupling points can change as a result of deformation of said resilient means.

A method of manufacturing a composite front suspension control arm shaft for motor vehicles includes connecting two tubular longitudinal control arms to a transverse sectional member, wherein a connection portion adapted to the cross-sectional configuration of the ends of the transverse sectional member is produced at each longitudinal control arm, and wherein the ends of the transverse sectional member are positioned in an assembly position relative to the connection portions and are secured by welding thereto. The composite front suspension control arm shaft includes two tubular longitudinal control arms connected to a transverse sectional member, wherein the first length portion of each longitudinal control arm adjacent the wheel carrier is of rectangular configuration, wherein the width of the rectangular length portion is greater than the height of the length portion and a second length portion of each longitudinal control arm to be coupled to the support frame is of rectangular configuration, wherein the height of the second rectangular length portion is greater than its width, and wherein each longitudinal control arm has a connection portion adapted to the cross-sectional configuration of the ends of the transverse sectional member.
摘要:
A modular wheeled suspension system which may be actuated to move a cargo holding deck or vehicle frame between a ground engaging load position to facilitate the loading of cargo and a transport position out of contact with the ground is provided. An adjustable telescoping frame for the cargo holding deck is further provided to accommodate loads of different sizes. The suspension system employs an arrangement of air bags supported between pivoted bracket elements located adjacent to the vehicle wheels and an air supply system with an automatic locking arrangement to allow the deck or frame to be lowered to a ground engaging load position and maintained in the load position until loading has been completed and the frame or deck raised to the transport position.
