Vertical support device for motor vehicle plate springs has one only pressure spring element of elastomer material for each spring positioned in area of max. spring deflection

摘要

The support is for a pair of plate springs (3) between axle (1) and chassis (2). A pressure spring element (4) of elastomer material is fastened to chassis or spring in the area of max. spring bending momentum and comes into support contact with the top (5) of the spring or the underside (6) of the chassis when the spring is deflected. The spring element has a rectangular base surface and forms a hollow profile with an aperture. The aperture has internal surfaces at a distance, which engage on each other when the spring element is subjected to max. pressure load.
