Spring element, in particular jounce bumper, for a vehicle shock absorber
A spring element, in particular a jounce bumper, for a vehicle shock absorber contains a longitudinal axis, a base body extending along the longitudinal axis, and an end portion configured for contact against a damper cap of the vehicle shock absorber. The base body is elastically deformable between an uncompressed basic state and a compressed state in which the base body is at least partially compressed in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The end portion contains at least three projections that are spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction, and protrude from the base body in the direction of the longitudinal axis. Each of the projections has a distinct length in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and the projections are arranged along the circumference of the end portion such that the lengths of the projections increase monotonously in the circumferential direction.
Active damper upper mount
The active damper upper mount includes an inner member (11, 111) to which an upper end portion of a rod (22, 122) of an active damper (21, 121) is fixed, an intermediate member (12, 112) that surrounds the inner member in a circumferential direction around a rod axis (O1, O2), an outer member (13, 113) that surrounds the intermediate member in the circumferential direction and is attached to a vehicle body side, a first elastic body (14, 114) that is disposed between the inner member and the intermediate member and supports the inner member and the intermediate member so as to be elastically displaceable relative to each other, and a second elastic body (15, 115) that is disposed between the intermediate member and the outer member and supports the intermediate member and the outer member so as to be elastically displaceable relative to each other.
Suspension system for lawnmower
In a riding mower having a frame, a mower deck supported beneath the frame, a chair on said frame and a source of motive power also supported on said frame and including two hydraulic transaxles depending beneath the frame to each selectively rotate a drive wheel. The frame is supported on forward and rear wheel assemblies with a supporting wheel. The transaxles are supported beneath the frame and pivotally secured thereto by a flange captivating vibration pillows and proximate the driven wheel and an inner pivot rod secured to the frame by apertures in downwardly depending tabs.
SPRING PAD FOR A SUSPENSION
A spring pad for a suspension can satisfy both conflicting dynamic seating property and durability, and unification of specifications. In particular, the spring pad may include: a body portion disposed on one side of a spring to support the spring; and an insert portion embedded inside of the body portion and integrally formed with the body portion. The spring is seated on an inclined surface of the body portion, and the inclined surface may be formed in a spiral shape gradually increasing in height. A spiral curve of the inclined surface may be formed by reflecting a composite line minimizing a gap between the inclined surface and the spring.
UNIVERSAL MODULARIZED COIL SPRING BUFFER FOR VEHICLE
A modular suspension buffer for a vehicle having customizable hardness and height to provide various combinations of initial contact softness and non-linearly increasing resistance during compression so as to improve driving stability, loading capacity, off road performance, and/or ride comfort while extending the operational lifespan of the vehicle suspension system. Specifically, a universal modular coil spring buffer having a plurality of modules arranged in different configurations adaptable to be inserted in the gap of a coil spring of a vehicle to prevent shocks. The different configurations of a primary module and a plurality of secondary modules can be employed for different vehicles with different coil spring dimensions and based on the distance between the adjacent coils. The buffer lessens the compression to the coil spring thereby minimizing oil leaks caused from the shocks.
SUSPENSION COIL SPRING DEVICE
A suspension coil spring device may include a compression coil spring (10) that has a coating film, a rubber vibration isolator, and an adhesive layer that joins the compression coil spring and the rubber vibration isolator to each other. The adhesive layer is a cured product of a hot melt adhesive that melts at 80° C. to 100° C. A softening point of the hot melt adhesive is lower than a heat-resistant temperature of the coating film. The softening point of the hot melt adhesive is lower than a heat-resistant temperature of the rubber vibration isolator.
Bump stops
A rubber bump stop composed of at least two components (“Durobumps”) and used as a suspension product is disclosed that greatly extends suspension life of the vehicle and increases vehicle stability in rough terrain or harsh driving conditions. Preferably, the rubber bump stop has at least four components and include cast in place metal hardware for use in fastening to the vehicle.
Spring element, in particular jounce bumper, for a vehicle suspension
A spring element, in particular a jounce bumper, for a vehicle suspension contains a longitudinal axis, a base body extending along the longitudinal axis, and an end portion positioned on a base end of the base body. The base body is elastically deformable between an uncompressed basic state and a compressed state in which the base body is at least partially compressed in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The end portion is configured for mounting the base body in a mounting cap. It is suggested that the end portion contains a plurality of at least two radially extending retention elements that are spaced apart from one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and each of the retention elements are configured to engage a mating retention element provided on the mounting cap.
Spring assembly for a vehicle bogie suspension arrangement
A spring assembly for a vehicle bogie suspension arrangement. The spring assembly includes a set of washers moulded into an elastomer body. The spring assembly has an axial extension in an axial direction and the washers are arranged relative to each other in the axial direction. At least one of the washers is a spring washer including a spring washer body and at least two spring tongues. Each spring tongue has a spring base connected to the spring washer body and a spring tip distal to the spring base. At least a portion of the spring tongue is located at a non-zero distance from the spring base in the axial direction.
Silencer for leaf spring for commercial vehicle
A silencer for a leaf spring for a commercial vehicle is provided. The silencer includes an upper rubber body having defined therein a fitting hole into which a second leaf spring is press-fitted, with a top surface of the upper rubber body serving as a contact surface in contact with a first leaf spring, and a lower rubber body having defined therein an accommodation space, with a first buffering protrusion being provided on a bottom surface of the lower rubber body such that a third leaf spring is able to be in contact with the first buffering protrusion.
