Abstract
A suspension for a vehicle is configured such that, even in a situation of departing from a range (spring freedom height) in which a coil spring may be tensioned as a rebound state is added in a full rebound state, a lower end of the coil spring is coupled to a spring pad coupled to a leaf spring and continuously supported, so that the separation of the coil spring connecting a suspension arm to a body member may be prevented. The suspension includes the leaf spring provided at the suspension arm connecting a body frame to a knuckle; a spring pad coupled to the leaf spring; and the coil spring supported, at opposite ends of the coil spring, by the body member and the spring pad, the body member being located above the suspension arm.
Claims9
A suspension for a vehicle, the suspension comprising:
- a leaf spring provided at a suspension arm connecting a body frame to a knuckle;
- a spring pad coupled to the leaf spring;
- and
- a coil spring provided to be supported, at opposite ends of the coil spring, by a body member and the spring pad, the body member being located above the suspension arm;
- wherein the leaf spring is arranged along a longitudinal direction of the suspension arm and configured to have a shape of a cantilever such that a first end of the leaf spring is coupled to the suspension arm and the spring pad is securely coupled to a second end of the leaf spring, the second end of the leaf spring corresponding to a free end of the cantilever.
A suspension for a vehicle, the suspension comprising:
- a leaf spring provided at a suspension arm connecting a body frame to a knuckle;
- a spring pad coupled to the leaf spring;
- and
- a coil spring provided to be supported, at opposite ends of the coil spring, by a body member and the spring pad, the body member being located above the suspension arm;
- wherein the leaf spring comprises:
- a coupled portion located at a first end of the leaf spring and integrally coupled to the suspension arm;
- a rod portion extended from the coupled portion along a longitudinal direction of the suspension arm and configured to be elastically deformed in response to external force;
- and
- a seat portion provided at an end of the rod portion and coupled to the spring pad.
A suspension for a vehicle, the suspension comprising:
- a leaf spring provided at a suspension arm connecting a body frame to a knuckle;
- a spring pad coupled to the leaf spring;
- and
- a coil spring provided to be supported, at opposite ends of the coil spring, by a body member and the spring pad, the body member being located above the suspension arm;
- wherein the spring pad comprises a stopper portion provided to further protrude from a lower side of the leaf spring;
- and
- wherein the stopper portion is configured to be brought into contact with the suspension arm by an elastic force of the coil spring.
