Mounting structure for a wheel carrier of a motor vehicle

摘要

The mounting structure (10) comprises a support body (13) to which the spindle (11) of a vehicle wheel is attached and a pair of flexible blade-like elements (14) which are each compliant under bending about an axis perpendicular to the respective middle plane and compliant under torsion. The flexible elements (14) are inclined to each other so as to provide the structure (10) with a first structural degree of freedom about a first shear axis (T) defined at the intersection between the middle planes of the flexible elements (14). The structure (10) further comprises a pair of substantially coaxial portions (19) by means of which the support body (13) is attached to the free ends of the flexible elements (14), whereby the structure (10) has a second shear axis (T2) substantially corresponding to the axis of the coaxial portions (19).
