- the additional stop has an upper part positioned at a distance from the side wall for fixing the wheel arch, said spacing being adapted to allow the additional stop to be held in position while the said additional stop is being welded on. along the side wall fixing the wheel arch, said weld being formed by electrical weld spots.
- the present invention also relates to an additional stop which comprises at least one bearing surface for an upper part of a suspension damper when said damper is mounted in such a vehicle, such that said at least one bearing surface comprises damping means adapted to be positioned opposite the upper part of the suspension damper.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a suspension shock absorber as fixed in the rear wheel arch of a vehicle and comprising an additional stop, according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective detail view, partially cut away, of the suspension shock absorber as fixed in the rear wheel arch of the vehicle and including the additional stop, according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the additional stop, according to the invention.
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective detail view, partially cut away, of a suspension damper as fixed in the rear wheel arch of a vehicle and comprising an additional stop, according to a second embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the additional stop, according to the second embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 to 3 there is shown a rear part of a vehicle which comprises a rear wheel arch 1, a telescopic suspension shock absorber 2 positioned in the rear wheel arch 1, means of fixing 3 to secure an upper part 21 of the shock absorber 2 in the rear wheel arch 1 and an additional stopper 4.
- Figure 1 is shown a view of the additional stop 9 and the suspension damper 2 as positioned in the wheel arch 1.
- Figure 2 is shown a partially cutaway view, details, of the additional stop 4 and the suspension damper 2 as positioned in the wheel arch 1.
- Figure 3 is shown a view of the additional stop 4 before its positioning in the wheel arch 1.
- the rear wheel arch 1 comprises a vertical side plate 11 which closes the bottom of the rear wheel arch 1 and which ends at the bottom with a side member, as known from the state of the art.
- the side plate 11 has a support 12 for the upper part 21 of the shock absorber 2.
- the support 12 is inclined downwards at an angle of approximately 15 ° relative to the vertical part of the side plate 11.
- the support 12 has two first openings intended to receive two fixing screws 5 to secure the upper part 21 of the shock absorber 2 in the rear wheel arch 1.
- the support 12 has above two first openings for the fixing screws 5, two second openings for two rivets 6 to secure the additional stop 4 in the wheel arch 1.
- the filling chute 7 comprises a first substantially horizontal part 71 which covers part of the support 12 and a second vertical part 72 which descends parallel to the suspension damper 2 while covering part of the additional stop 4.
- the filling chute 7 is positioned at a minimum distance from the vertical sheet 11, this distance being of the order of 15mm.
- a fixing pin 24 which comprises a cylindrical central part 241 positioned in the sleeve 23 and two flat arms 242 which are, respectively, in the extension of each of the two ends of the cylindrical central part 241, projecting on each side of the sleeve 23.
- Each arm 242 has an opening 243 adapted to collaborate with, respectively, each of the two first openings of the support 12 to receive the two fixing screws 5.
- An elastomeric sleeve 25 is interposed between the sleeve 23 and the cylindrical central part 241 of the fixing pin 24 to filter vibrations.
- the additional stop 4 has a central part 41 of elongated shape, with on the edge of the two ends of the central part 41, two branches 42 which extend downward and which end in two 43 flat bearing surfaces.
- Two openings 44 are formed along the additional stop 4 to allow the passage of the two rivets 6 making it possible to secure the additional stop 4 in the wheel arch 1.
- damping means 8 which generally comprise at least one part made of foam, silicone or plastic. rubber.
- a spacing of less than 5 mm is created by the damping means 8 between the two bearing surfaces 43 of the additional stop 4 and each of the two arms 242 of the upper part 21 of the suspension damper 2 , this spacing preferably being 2 mm and corresponds to the compressed thickness of the damping means 8.
- the damping means 8 can either be fixed along the two bearing surfaces 43 of the additional stop 4, or be fixed along the two arms 242 of the upper part 21 of the suspension damper 2.
- the additional stopper 4 is positioned first and the filler neck 7 is then installed.
- the upper part 21 of the suspension damper 2 is positioned to rest against the two support surfaces 43 of the additional stop 4.
- the fixing screws 5 are finally screwed in to finalize the assembly, leaving the additional stopper 4 in contact with the upper part 21 of the suspension damper 2.
- the damping means 8 which are positioned between the two bearing surfaces 43 of the additional stop 4 and the upper part 21 of the suspension damper 2, are there to avoid mechanical noise during operation of the vehicle between the two. bearing surfaces 43 of the additional stop 4 and the upper part 21 of the suspension shock absorber 2.
- Figures 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of an additional stop 9.
- Figure 4 is shown a partially cutaway view, details, of the additional stop 9 and the suspension damper 2 as positioned in the wheel arch 1.
- Figure 5 is shown a view of the additional stop 9 before its positioning in the wheel arch 1.
- the essential difference of this second embodiment consists in the method of fixing the additional stop 9 in the wheel arch 1 where two electrical welding points 10 are used.
- the additional stop 9 comprises an extension 91 which extends upwards, in this extension 91 are formed pre-retaining openings 92.
- the two pre-holding openings 92 make it possible to maintain the additional stop 9 in position while applying the two electrical welding points 10.
- the additional stopper 9 has a flat shape positioned closest to the support 12 of the wheel arch 1, the extension 91 moving away from the support 12 by forming a space by means of an oblique intermediate part 93.
- the spacing of the extension 91 of the additional stop 9 must be less than 15 mm so as not to be in contact with the filler neck 7.
