Semi-elliptical spring suspension with automatic spring rate varying capacity

摘要

A semi-elliptical spring suspension system is provided in conjunction with a trailing arm and the suspension system may be readily mounted from the longitudinal side members of a vehicle frame. The suspension system semi-elliptical spring comprises a composite spring whose spring rate increases dramatically as the load on the spring is increased and the suspension system is constructed in a manner which isolates the semi-elliptical spring from twisting forces and wind up torque.
