Abstract

1,263,338. Road vehicle suspensions. SOC. ANON AUTOMOBILES CITROEN. 12 Feb., 1969 [19 Feb., 1968], No. 7718/69. Heading B7D. In a vehicle wheel suspension using a flexible longitudinal torsion bar 5, the wheel 2 is pivotally connected at 3 to one end of an arm 1 rigidly assembled (e.g. by welding) at its other end to one end of the torsion bar which is secured at its other end to the vehicle body, and a bearing 9 permitting rotation of the bar and pivotal movement of the axis XX<SP>1</SP> thereof about the bearing centre is provided at one side of the arm-to-bar connection. Forces F applied to the wheel cause flexion of the bar axis, e.g. to position X 1 X<SP>1</SP>, and movement of the wheel pivot point 3 about the centre of the bearing in the direction of arrows 10<SP>1</SP>. The arm may be perpendicular to the bar (Fig. 1, not shown) or inclined thereto, the wheel pivot point 3 lying in a plane perpendicular to the torsion bar through the centre of the bearing. A second bearing may be juxtaposed to the first to limit the floxion of the bar.
