Abstract
A leaf spring structure is designed as a single piece to be able to change the spring rates of leaf springs under a load independently from the manufacturing material. The operating mechanism of the leaf spring allows for increasing the spring rates by deactivating the short spring, which remains between the point A and the point B, as a result of the interaction between the short spring and the long spring after a certain amount of vertical displacement in the leaf spring.
Claims12
A leaf spring providing multiple spring rates, depending on displacement values, comprising:
- at least one first point on a single leaf spring, and
- at least one second point, wherein the at least one second point is located below the at least one first point, and is capable of interacting with the at least one first point as a result of stretching of the leaf spring under a load.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
