Abstract

An elastic bearing, in particular for the suspension of a load, is provide that comprises at least one elastic body that has at least two bending beams and at least two receiving openings for receiving coupling elements, wherein at least one of the at least two bending beams is connected to at least one articulated section, and at least one reinforcement that is embedded in the at least one elastic body. The reinforcement extends at least into the at least two bending beams, wherein the reinforcement extends at least essentially linearly into the at least two bending beams in at least one predetermined section of the particular bending beam. The at least two bending beams each have at least one supporting point that ensures the at least essentially linear course of the reinforcement in the predetermined section.

Dependent claims

An elastic bearing for the suspension of a load, comprising:

at least one elastic body that has at least two bending beams and at least two receiving openings for receiving coupling elements, wherein at least one of the at least two bending beams is connected to at least one articulated section, and
at least one reinforcement that is embedded in the at least one elastic body, wherein the at least one reinforcement extends linearly in the at least two bending beams in at least one predetermined section of the respective bending beam, wherein each of the at least two bending beams comprises at least one supporting point that is configured to ensure the linear course of the at least one reinforcement in the predetermined section, wherein the at least one supporting point comprises an indentation comprising a discontinuous area in the surface of the at least one elastic body and extending from an outer periphery of the at least one elastic body towards the at least one reinforcement, and wherein the indentation is positioned at a section of the respective bending beam where the at least one reinforcement extends linearly.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
