Method and contruction kit for producing a leaf spring apparatus manufactured from a fibre composite plastic

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a leaf spring device (1) made from a fiber composite plastic, comprising the following steps: a) providing (S1) a construction kit (11) comprising a leaf spring unit (2) made from the fiber composite plastic and a plurality of stiffening elements (8, 8A, 8A′, 8A″, 8B, 8B′, 8B″, 8C, 8C′) for locally stiffening the leaf spring unit (2), b) designing (S2) the leaf spring device (1) according to a desired application, c) selecting (S3) stiffening elements (8, 8A, 8A′, 8A″, 8B, 8B′, 8B″, 8C, 8C′) from the construction kit (11) according to the design of the leaf spring device (1), and d) combining (S4) the selected stiffening elements (8, 8A, 8A′, 8A″, 8B, 8B′, 8B″, 8C, 8C′) and the leaf spring unit (2) to form the leaf spring device (1).
