CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR CAR WITH ROLL STABILIZATION

摘要

A vehicle suspension handling stabilisation system (201) comprising: a pair a of leaf springs (210) which are mounted or mountable on respective opposed sides of an associated vehicle (208) and which extend generally longitudinally thereof, which have respective ends pin (214) jointed or pin (214) jointable to the associated vehicle (208), and which are secured or securable substantially rigidly to opposed ends of an axle (206) extending transversely of the associated vehicle (208); and anti-roll and/or anti-pitch means (220) arranged to act between the associated vehicle (208) and at least one of the leaf springs (210) to convert, during use and roll and/or pitch of the associated vehicle (208), a pin (214) jointed end of the or each leaf spring (210) to an end thereof which is fixed with respect to the associated vehicle (208), thereby increasing the rate and hence the stiffness of the or each leaf spring (210).
