Abstract
An in-wheel suspension system includes an assembly with a main arm that is pivotally connected at a connection point on the main arm to a shaft point of a wheel, a first linkage unit pivotally connected at one end to a first end of the main arm, and a second linkage unit pivotally connected at one end to a second end of the main arm. At least one second end of the first linkage unit and at least one second end of the second linkage unit, that are not connected to the main arm, are pivotally connectable each to a reference frame at a defined distance between them, such as to form a substantially “Z” like shape.
Claims16
An in-wheel suspension assembly, comprising:
- a main arm pivotally connectable at a connection point of the main arm to a shaft point of a wheel;
- a first linkage unit pivotally connected at its first end to a first end of the main arm and pivotally connectable at its at least one second end to a reference frame to rotate about a first axis;
- and
- a second linkage unit pivotally connected at its first end to a second end of the main arm and pivotally connectable at its at least one second end to the reference frame to rotate about a second axis, wherein the first axis and the second axis are at a defined distance between each other;
- wherein the connection point of the main arm is movable only along a substantially straight line.
