があった。In conventional rear suspensions using leaf springs, the overall length of the leaf springs is long, and a large space is required to install the leaf springs.
There is a problem in that the installation location on the vehicle body is limited, that is, a sufficient distance from the rear end of the vehicle body to the axle must be secured.

．１間にクロスビーム３を設ける。Trailing arms 1.1 are arranged on the left and right, one end of which is rotatably attached to the vehicle body frame (not shown) via a pin 2 as a vehicle body attachment portion IA, and the other end is a wheel attachment portion IB.
The wheel support 2 is fixed with bolts 2A and nuts 4, and the lower end of the damper strut 5 is attached with bolts 6 to the opening IC of the wheel mounting portion IB. Both ends of the cross beam 3, which is a torsion beam, are fixed at appropriate positions between the vehicle body attachment part IA and the wheel attachment part IB of the trailing arm 1.1.
．． A cross beam 3 is provided between the two.

定される。Two leaf springs 7.7 are placed at positions equidistant from the center of the cross beam 3 on both sides, that is, at positions symmetrical about the center.
One end of each leaf spring 7 is fixed and extends to the side opposite to the vehicle body attachment portion IA of the trailing arm 1.1 with respect to the wheel attachment position, and a cylindrical vehicle body attachment portion 7A is formed at the other end of each leaf spring 7. The bolt 8A of the shackle 8 is passed through the vehicle body mounting portion 7A, the pole 8B of the shackle 8 is penetrated through the bracket 13 of the vehicle body frame, and the plate 11 is fitted to the bolts 8A and 8B via the rubber bushes 9 and 10. It is rotatably fixed with a nut 12 via a washer.

の影響度を小さくすることができる。According to the above configuration, the length of the vehicle body in the longitudinal direction can be shortened, and when the wheels move up and down during wheel bumps or rebound, both axles are not always at the same height, and both axles are not always at the same height. The difference in axle height is cross beam 3
This causes the wheels to roll, causing tear blisters in the cross beam 3, and the tear blisters in the cross beam 3 tend to bend the leaf springs 7 upward or downward. This serves as a directional buffer. However, when the wheel is in a roll state, the wheel position moves inward in the vehicle width direction, and the amount of movement of each point on the axle is greatest at both ends of the axle (i.e., the wheel position), and as it approaches the center of roll (as Because the leaf spring 7 is installed far away from both ends of the axle, the leaf spring 7 cannot absorb lateral displacement.
does not suppress the roll state of the wheels, and compared to a case where the end of the leaf spring 7 is fixed to the end of the trailing arm 1 on the wheel mounting side, the twisting vertical movement of the end of the trailing arm l on the wheel mounting side is prevented. Since the movement of the leaf spring 7 in the vehicle width direction when the corresponding wheel is rolled is small, the influence of changes in geometry such as changes in camber of the wheel can be reduced.

The leaf spring 7 is fixed. Furthermore, FRP resin may be used as the material of the cross beam 3, and FRP
As shown in FIG. 4, the cross beam 3 made of resin has a square cross section, and the leaf springs 7 are fixed with bolts 14'.

響度を小さ（することができる。Since the vehicle suspension device of the present invention is configured as described above, the overall length of the suspension device can be shortened, and the distance from the rear end of the vehicle body to the axle can be shortened, so that the conditions for selecting the installation location are It is possible to increase the degree of freedom in arrangement, which improves layout efficiency.In addition, when a wheel bumps or rebounds, the spring force of the leaf spring that receives the force due to the torsion of the cross beam is applied to the cross beam. Compared to a case where the leaf spring end is fixed to the wheel mounting side end of the trailing arm, the movement of the leaf spring due to the twisting up and down movement of the wheel mounting side end of the trailing arm is suppressed. Since it is small, the influence of geometry changes such as ground camber angle changes and toe changes can be reduced.
