Motor vehicle wheel, tire and suspension assembly has shock absorber designed for specific relationship of wheel center forces at different speeds

摘要

An assembly for a motor vehicle has shock absorber designed to produce characteristic function curve when assembly is compressed that gives a relationship between wheel center forces at different speeds such that force at 4 m/s divided by force at 2 m/s is 2. In addition, the tire has supporting side walls that combine with wheel's supporting ring to allow continued running when deflated. The assembly, comprising a wheel carrier with a hub (4) and shaft (5), a wheel (33) with a tire supporting ring (32) and tire (31), and a suspension unit with a spring (6) and shock absorber (81), has the shock absorber designed to produce a characteristic function curve when the assembly is compressed that gives a relationship between wheel center forces at different speeds such that the force at 4 m/s divided by the force at 2 m/s is greater than 2. In addition, the tire has supporting side walls that combine with the wheel's supporting ring to allowed continued running when deflated.
