Abstract

968,391. Road vehicle suspensions. DUNLOP RUBBER CO. Ltd. Dec. 19, 1960 [Dec. 23, 1959], No. 43618/59. Heading B7D. A road vehicle wheel suspension comprises a leaf-spring assembly 1 pivoted at 2 to the vehicle frame and connected by a bracket 6 to a fluid spring 7 which may be of bellows construction or may be a rolling lobe diaphragm spring and is connected to a source of pneumatic pressure through a levelling valve 10 to ensure constant frame height. The fluid spring 7 is connected to a bracket 8 attached to the vehicle frame and a tie-rod 11 is connected to the vehicle frame 9 and to the axle 4 which is connected to the leaf-spring assembly by a mounting pad 2. A vibration damper 13 is fitted between the axle and frame. The leaf spring assembly 1 is of sufficient rigidity to prevent deformation under normal riding conditions and of sufficient flexibility to deform under roll and sway.
