Vehicle axle suspension.

摘要

An elastomeric mounting of the type comprising a plurality of elastomeric layers 21 having a plurality of reinforcement layers 20 interleaved between and bonded to the elastomeric layers 21. The reinforcement layers 20 are of corrugated profile each comprising a plurality of alternate peaks 22 and valleys 23 whereby a more even distribution of the stress concentrations generated in use of the mounting, e.g. in a vehicle axle suspension, is obtained. The reinforcement layers 20 may all be of the same size and shape such that a compact mounting is obtained which occupies a smaller space envelope then a comparable chevron spring.
