Abstract
A spring seat with a supporting groove for the freely terminating end of a spring wire of a coil spring for an axle suspension of a motor vehicle. The supporting groove extends merely over a circumferential angular range of about 75.degree. to 120.degree.. The supporting groove is fashioned to be approximately V-shaped in cross section and the terminating end of the spring wire of the coil spring only contacts the flanks of the V-shaped supporting groove.
Claims5
A spring seat for accommodating a freely terminating end portion of a spring wire of a coil spring of an axle suspension arrangement of a motor vehicle, the spring seat including a supporting groove, characterized in that the supporting groove only extends over a circumferential range of about 75.degree.-120.degree., and in that the supporting groove has an approximately V-shaped cross section with side flanks of the supporting groove being disposed such that the terminating end portion of the spring wire only contacts the side flanks of the V-shaped supporting groove whereby the terminating end portion of the spring wire is prevented from participating in a rolling motion when the coil spring is under a load.
