Abstract
A spring, in particular a flat spring (5), for use in connection with a vehicle, has a middle region (6) which has a curve with a first curve direction, as well as two edge regions (7). In an unladen state, the edge regions (7) each have a curve with a second curve direction and vertices (10), with the second direction of curve being opposed to the first direction of curve. The flat spring (5) has a vertex axis (11) running through the vertices (10) of the curves of the edge regions (7). End regions (8) of the edge regions (7) are tilted away from the vertex axis (11) toward the side of the vertex axis (11) on which the middle region (6) lies.
Claims11
A spring, in particular a flat spring (5), for use in connection with a vehicle, with a middle region (6) which has a curve with a first curve direction, as well as two edge regions (7), characterized in that, in an unladen state, the edge regions (7) each have a curve with a second curve direction and vertices (10), with the second direction of curve being opposed to the first direction of curve, in that the flat spring (5) has a vertex axis (11) running through the vertices (10) of the curves of the edge regions (7), and in that end regions (8) of the edge regions (7) are tilted away from the vertex axis (11) toward the side of the vertex axis (11) on which the middle region (6) lies.
The spring according to claim, characterized in that the composite material includes thermosetting resin or thermoplastic resin.
