Abstract
619,822. Vehicle suspensions. FORD MOTOR CO., Ltd. Dec. 30, 1946, No. 38051. Convention date, Jan. 21, 1946. [Class 108 (ii)] A vehicle suspension comprising a supporting member 17 pivoted about a longitudinal, horizontal axis 19 and a torsion spring 25 connecting said member to the vehicle frame, is characterised in that at those points at which the torsion spring moves angularly relatively both to the supporting member and to the frame, an anti-friction bearing is interposed between the torsion spring and the supporting member and frame respectively. The torsion spring, which, as shown in Fig. 3, is in the form of a bar 25, is at its front end 31 bent to a U-shape, of which one arm passes through a sleeve 26 in the supporting arm 17. A halfcylinder 29, Fig. 4, of anti-friction material is placed between the torsion bar 25 and a halfcylindrical shell 28 secured in the upper half of the bush 26. The anti-friction material, which may be metallic or non-metallic and of the lubricated or non-lubricated type, is secured either to the bar 25 or to the shell 28. The rear end of the bar is bent reversely to a U- shape, of which one arm is located by a groove 34, Fig. 5, formed in the lower flange 33 of the vehicle frame member 14, while the other arm 36 rests on shims 39 secured to the flange 37 of a channel section 38 which is secured in the frame member 14. The shims 39 allow adjustment of the riding height of the vehicle. A half-shell 35 of anti-friction material is placed between the bar 24 and the groove 34 and may be secured either to the bar or to the groove. In a modification, Fig. 6, the wheel suspension arm 53 has an integral sleeve 52, carrying a oush 54 containing an anti-friction bearing 55 for the bar 51, while caps 56 retain any lubricant; to simplify the construction, a half-shell of antifriction material may be bonded to the torsion bar and allowed to engage the integral sleeve directly. Specification 619,821 is referred to.
