Abstract: The present disclosure provides a leaf spring bearing for a vehicle with a transverse leaf spring. The leaf spring bearing comprises an upper bearing block and a lower bearing block. Each bearing block is formed at least partially of elastic material and comprises an upper support surface and a lower support surface between which a portion of the transverse leaf spring can be interposed. At least one of the upper and lower bearing blocks has a bearing core and an insert positioned in the elastic material between the upper and lower support surfaces so as to define three layers of the elastic material within the at least one bearing block. At least one of the upper and lower bearing blocks has two support plates arranged either outside the elastic material or at least partially surrounded by the elastic material in the area of the upper and lower support surfaces of the bearing block. In one exemplary embodiment, the support plates have closing contours arranged at their respective end regions which can be brought at least partially into engagement with each other to couple the two bearing blocks to one another.

Abstract: A suspension includes: wheel supporting members for supporting wheels, a leaf spring having both end portions each arranged on an upper side of the respective wheel supporting member; a pivot supporting the leaf spring, and receiving pieces interposed between the wheel supporting members and the both end portions of the leaf spring respectively. Each of the wheel supporting members includes a recess portion on which one of the receiving pieces is mounted. Each of the receiving pieces includes an engaging portion for engaging with one of the both end portions of the leaf spring. Each of the receiving pieces includes an elastic member and a first metal plate joined on the elastic member. The elastic member can deform to follow a displacement of a relative position between the leaf spring and one of the wheel supporting members.

Abstract: A separator pad is loosely positioned between a leaf spring end and a top wall of a mounting slot in a vehicle spring hanger. The separator pad is preferably slid between the spring end and the slot top wall when the load on the leaf spring is relaxed or removed. The separator pad is positioned relative to the spring hanger while the load is relaxed to allow for limited subsequent longitudinal movement of the pad when the load is reapplied and the vehicle is in use. The separator pad includes stop members thereon at opposite ends thereof respectively to engage the spring hanger or the spring end and limit further longitudinal pad movement in that direction before the pad falls out.

Abstract: A suspension for a vehicle having tandem axles includes a composite leaf spring connected between the axles. The leaf spring is constrained to bend about a transverse axis by a fixed elastic support having a concave, arcuate bottom surface whose center coincides with the transverse axis. The elastic support engages the top surface of the leaf spring at two points on opposite sides of the transverse axis, and is opposed by a central elastic element. The ends of the leaf spring are connected to the tandem axles by ball joints having elastic pads.

Abstract: A leaf spring suspension system for supporting a vehicle is disclosed wherein one end of the spring is longitudinally moveable in load-transferring relationship with the vehicle at varying longitudinal positions along the vehicle frame. Thus, regardless of spring deflection, the axle remains equidistant between the longitudinal positions at which the vehicle's load is transferred to spring, thereby equalizing the load at each end of the spring.
