1 Claim.
This invention relates to vehicle springs and particularly to the type of springs known as "transverse springs.
An object is to provide such a spring that will produce unusual shock absorbing qualities.
And another object is to provide such a spring that is especially adaptable for use in conjunction with automobiles and which, due to its simplicity, is an improvement over this general type of spring heretofore known.
The accomplishment of the above and other objects will become apparent from a reading of the specification taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a top plan view of the spring assembly;
Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof, and
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 8-4 of Figure 2.
Referring now to the drawing, the numeral I refers to the spring assembly, in its entirety, and it consists, preferably, of two transverse springs 6 and l, which have arranged at their outer ends coil springs 8, 8, l and II.
At the lower ends of the coil springs are crossbars I3 and II and they are arranged to retain the lower ends of the coil springs in their predetermined positions as the cross-bars I 3 and I l are attached to both the coil springs and the transverse springs 6 and I.
The upper ends of the coil springs are similarly retained in proper position by means of the crossbars I! and it.
If the dual transverse springs are utilized, as illustrated in the drawing, then the assembly will 2 be fastened to the axle by the cross-bars, l3 and I4 in any convenient manner.
The main spring I5 is attached to the body of the vehicle by the U-bolts l8 and I1 and its ends are fastened to the cross-bars, l3 and 14' by piv otal connections l8 and i9.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made while keeping within the scope of the appended claim.
What I claim is:
A spring assembly comprising a pair of elongated parallel spaced bars, transverse bars bridging adjacent ends of the spaced paralleled bars, an elongated leaf spring structure, upper transverse bars to the medial portions of which the ends of the leaf spring structure are secured and a pair of coiled compression springs interposed between the ends of each first mentioned cross-bar and the overlying ends of the upper complemental cross-bar.
WILLIAM L. HENRY.
