Abstract
There is provided a torsion beam of a vehicle suspension in which a upper portion and the lower portion of the torsion beam are bent in the front-to-rear direction alone of the vehicle along the longitudinal axis of the torsion beam, and a pair of tails is rounded at both front and rear ends of the torsion beam of the vehicle and formed different from each other in size, a rear tail of the pair of tails which is formed at the rear portion of the vehicle is larger than a front tail formed in the front portion of the torsion beam, the upper and lower portions of the torsion beam are gradually apart from each other with at least two predetermined slopes as they goes from the middle portion to both distal end of the torsion beam. Therefore, roll stiffness is increased and durability is improved.
Claims7
A torsion beam of a vehicle suspension comprising:
- a upper and lower portion bent in a front-to-rear direction of the vehicle along a longitudinal axis of the torsion beam;
- and
- a pair of tails positioned substantially at both front and rear side ends of the torsion beam and formed different from each other in size.
The torsion beam of a vehicle suspension of any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein,
- an upper line formed by the upper portion extends substantially horizontal from the middle portion of the torsion beam to distal end portions of the torsion beam in the longitudinal direction of the torsion beam, and
- a lower line formed by the lower portion including at least two differently-sloped lines positioned in each predetermined position between the middle portion and a left distal end and between the middle portion and a right distal end of the torsion beam wherein the at least two differently-sloped lines have at least three connection places where the upper and lower portions are apart from each other in different distances.
