SUSPENSION ACTUATION ASSEMBLIES AS WELL AS SUSPENSION SYSTEMS INCLUDING SAME

摘要

A suspension actuation assembly can include first and second support assemblies that are displaceable relative to one another in a first direction of travel. A connector assembly can extend between and operatively connect the first and second support assemblies. An actuator assembly can be displaceable between collapsed and extended conditions. The actuator assembly can be oriented transverse to the first direction of travel and can be operatively associated with the connector element such that displacement of the actuator assembly generates displacement of the first and second support assemblies relative to one another along the first direction of travel. A suspension system including such a suspension actuation assembly is also included.

1. A vehicle comprising:
a supporting structure of said vehicle; a supported structure of said vehicle that is displaceable relative to said supporting structure in a first direction of travel; a first mounting feature operatively associated with said supporting structure; a second mounting feature operatively associated with said supported structure; a connector element extending between and operatively connecting said first and second mounting features; and, an actuator assembly displaceable between a collapsed condition and an extended condition, said actuator assembly oriented transverse to said first direction of travel and operatively associated with said connector element such that displacement of said actuator assembly from said collapsed condition toward said extended condition generates displacement of said supporting and supported structures in said first direction of travel.
