A connecting assembly for a transverse leaf spring comprising:
- a transverse leaf spring made of fiber-reinforced plastic, and
- a bearing device that encompasses the transverse leaf spring at a bearing point in a form fitting manner,
- wherein the transverse leaf spring has a ribbed structure at the bearing point and the bearing device has notches, in which the ribbed structure engages in a form fitting manner.
A transverse leaf spring for a motor vehicle, which is formed as a flat bar-like spring element and produced from a fiber-reinforced plastic, further comprising center bearings that have ribbed structures for a form fitting engagement in corresponding bearing devices.
A center bearing device for attaching a transverse leaf spring to a motor vehicle, wherein the center bearing device has two half-shells that can be connected to one another, which encompass the transverse leaf spring at a bearing point in a form fitting manner, wherein at least one of the half-shells has notches on its inner wall.
