Abstract: A motor vehicle chassis structure which includes an independent suspension system including left and right suspension components for left and right wheels (4, 8) respectively for gripping and travelling along a road surface, each of which suspension components is arranged to allow a constrained up and down movement of the respective wheel relative to the vehicle chassis structure, characterised in that the upper suspension components on one side of the vehicle are cross-linked with the upper suspension components on the other side of the vehicle by a connecting rod (10, 11) and an offset pivot shaft assembly (9, 5), so as to constrain the plane of each wheel towards an orientation which is normal to the road surface while allowing the chassis structure to move vertically and to roll relative to said wheels during cornering, acceleration, deceleration and combinations thereof.

Abstract: An agricultural tractor having a rear suspension with draft compensating geometry to control the compression or extension of the rear suspension in response to a draft load. The draft compensating suspension enables the tractor hitch to be mounted on the suspended frame or chassis of the tractor rather than mounting the hitch to a non-suspended beam axle or locking out the suspension during draft work. The draft load is applied to the chassis by a ground engaging implement. The tractive load and torque at the rear wheels are reacted through the side view instantaneous center of the rear suspension. The placement of the instantaneous center will determine the suspension reaction to the wheel load and torque. Locating the suspension instantaneous center on a line of 100% draft-compensation will eliminate the motion of the suspension due to the draft load. If the instantaneous center is located below the 100% draft-compensation line, the suspension will compress under a draft load. If the instantaneous center is located above the 100% draft-compensation line, the suspension will extend under a draft load. The distance between the instantaneous center and the 100% draft compensation line will determine the amount of compression or extension of the suspension.

Abstract translation: 一种农用拖拉机，其具有具有牵伸补偿几何形状的后悬架，以响应于牵伸载荷来控制后悬架的压缩或延伸。 牵引补偿悬架使得牵引车牵引架能够安装在拖拉机的悬挂框架或底盘上，而不是将牵引架安装到非悬挂梁轴上，或者在牵引作业期间锁定悬架。 牵引载荷通过地面接合工具施加到底盘。 后轮的牵引负载和扭矩通过后悬架的侧视瞬时中心反应。 瞬时中心的放置将决定对车轮负载和扭矩的悬架反应。 将悬架瞬时中心定位在100％牵引补偿线上将消除由于牵引载荷引起的悬架的运动。 如果瞬时中心位于100％牵伸补偿线以下，则悬挂将在牵引载荷下压缩。 如果瞬时中心位于100％牵伸补偿线上方，悬挂将在牵引载荷下延伸。 瞬时中心与100％牵伸补偿线之间的距离将决定悬架的压缩或延伸量。

Abstract: A suspension system is disclosed which controls the movement of a wheel carrier relative to the body of a vehicle. The suspension system includes one or more links (10, 20, 30, 40) connected at one end to the wheel carrier and at the other end to the vehicle body as to define a linkage. The linkage is so constructed and arranged that the stiffness or reaction of the suspension to longitudinal forces applied at the wheel contact patch is greater than the stiffness or reaction of the suspension to longitudinal forces applied substantially at the axis of rotation of the wheel.

Abstract: This invention relates to a rear axle of a vehicle, in particular a passenger vehicle, whose wheel mount is guided by five individual suspension links, at least two of which are coupled above the midpoint of the wheel and at least two are coupled essentially beneath the midpoint of the wheel, and the so-called steering rod as the fifth link is coupled behind the midpoint of the wheel (as seen in the direction of travel). To create a compact configuration, the two upper transverse links are situated in front of a spring element (as seen in the direction of travel) and/or a shock absorber element, which is located between the vehicle body and one of the lower suspension links. To improve the elastokinematic behavior, the steering rod is pitched at an angle of sweep with respect to the transverse direction of the vehicle, this angle being on the order of magnitude of 5null to 25null. The coupling points on the wheel mount side of the two upper suspension links and/or the lower suspension links are offset in height with respect to one another and neither the two upper suspension links nor the lower transverse link and the (lower) frame side bar describes a common plane. All the arms are preferably ultimately linked directly or indirectly to a rear axle mount which forms a supporting frame.

Abstract: A vehicular suspension includes a trailing arm and a substantially plate-like lower arm. The trailing arm is pivotably supported at its front end on a vehicle body via an elastic joint and extends from the front end toward the rear of the vehicle body. The lower arm extends in the vehicle width direction with its inner end pivotably supported on the vehicle body and its outer end fixed to a rear part of the trailing arm. A flat first seating surface of an end plate welded to the rear end of the trailing arm is superimposed on a flat second seating surface provided at the outer end of the lower arm, and an inner periphery of a closed rectangular opening formed on the second seating surface is welded to the first seating surface by a weld. The second seating surface of the lower arm protrudes from a main body portion via a slant surface.
