SUSPENSION DEVICE

摘要

A suspension device configured in such a manner that an axle (2) is suspended at the intermediate section of a single leaf spring (5). The suspension device is provided with: a first restriction means which, when the leaf spring (5) breaks at a position behind the intermediate section, restricts the downward tilt movement of the rear portion of the leaf spring (5) relative to a shackle (6); and a second restriction means (engagement claw (13)) for restricting the rearward pivoting of the shackle (6) through an angle greater than or equal to a predetermined angle. The first restriction means comprises a bush (12) which is disposed at the portion of the connection between the rear end of the leaf spring (5) and the shackle (6), pivots integrally with the rear end of the leaf spring (5), and is provided with a protrusion (12b) engaging with the shackle (6) at a predetermined pivoting position.
