<p>A soft-riding towbar assembly (not numbered) suitable for fitting to vehicles. The soft-riding towbar assembly smooths out the shocks, jarring and vibrations experienced by trailed vehicles and caravans when travelling, especially over rough or corrugated roads or terrain. In a preferred embodiment, the soft-riding towbar assembly uses a pivoting torque axle suspension system, consisting of rubber elements (8) in contact with a square, S-cam or triple fluted section torsion bar (7) and held on the outside by corresponding square or hexagonal sided hollow section torsion housing (3). Suspension movement between bump and rebound compresses the rubber elements (8) thus providing a dampening of road shocks.</p> |
