Vehicle suspension having two stiffnesses, one for obtaining a good level of comfort and the other for a good level of vehicle alignment

摘要

Suspension method for vehicles. …??An elastic means (54) is arranged between the support or stop (31) of the spring plate and the spring plate (32), so as progressively to reduce the effect of one of the two springs (R20, R30), mounted in series, when the said spring plate (32) comes to bear and a second stop or second rest (33) comes to limit the travel of the spring plate (32), when it leaves its first rest (31) or first stop, the distance between the two stops (31, 33) determines a precise travel of the spring plate (32), from which there is derived, over the suspension travel, a "comfort zone" in which the stiffness is lower than over the remaining travel, both in impact and in relaxation and in which the first turning point of the curve is situated at a value very close to the equivalent load of the vehicle in the static position. …??Suspensions particularly for motor vehicles. …IMAGE…
