Abstract
A passenger motor vehicle with a vehicle body means and with two axles carrying the body, and in which the body is supported with respect to at least one of the two axles by way of elastic axle guide elements and is rotatable at least with respect to this one axle about an axis of instantaneous rotation extending generally in the vehicle longitudinal direction and disposed at least approximately at the height of its center of gravity; the axle guide elements thereby form simultaneously spring elements for the vertical spring system of this one axle while the axle guide elements are of such construction that the vehicle body is transversely displaceable in a translatory manner with respect to this axle.
Claims58
A passenger motor vehicle comprising a vehicle body, two axle means carrying the vehicle body, said vehicle body being supported with respect to at least one of the two axle means by way of elastic axle guide means, and said vehicle body being rotatable at least with respect to said one axle means about an axis of instantaneous rotation extending generally in the vehicle longitudinal direction and being disposed at least approximately at the height of its center of gravity, characterized in that the elastic axle guide means form simultaneously spring means for a vertical spring system of the one axle means, and in that said elastic axle guide means are of such construction that the vehicle body is transversely displaceable in a translatory manner with respect to at least the one axle means.
A passenger motor vehicle comprising a vehicle body, two axles carrying the vehicle body, said vehicle body being rotatable at least with respect to a first of the two axles about an axis of instantaneous rotation extending generally in the vehicle longitudinal direction and being disposed at least approximately at the height of its center of gravity and translatively displaceable with respect to the two axles, characterized in that said first axle is fashioned as a rigid axle, a single elastic axle guide means is provided for supporting the vehicle body with respect to said first axle, and in that said single elastic axle guide means is arranged in a longitudinal plane of symmetry of the vehicle body and provides for a vertical springing of said first axle, said single elastic axle guide means is arranged in the vehicle so that the center of gravity thereof lies at least at the height of the center of gravity of the vehicle body.
