SPRING SUSPENSION FOR VEHICLES

摘要

A spring suspension system allowing movements between the drive compartment and a frame portion of a heavy duty vehicle with a plurality of degrees of freedom and with a frequency range of from as low as about 1 Hz and up to 5000 Hz and more, comprises at least one axially operative spring member formed with a rigid cylindrical outer surface and mounted between the compartment and frame portion of the vehicle. The spring member is connected to one of these vehicle components by a supplemental elastomeric spring which surrounds the cylindrical outer surface of the spring and the spring member is connected to the other of the vehicle components by an articulation.
