Mounting device for a resilient leaf made of a composite material working in flexure

A device comprising in combination a resilient leaf and mounting means for mounting said resilient leaf, said leaf being made of a composite material working in flexure having, in its vertical plane of symmetry and over at least a part of its length, a thickness increasing towards one of its ends, and in its horizontal plane, a width decreasing towards the same end, the thicker end having an opening capable of cooperating with said mounting means, said opening being formed at the thick end of said leaf, the axis of the said opening being in the vertical plane of symmetry of the leaf which is in the plane of flexure in which the stresses producing the flexure are acting, said opening consisting of at least one loop formed by a winding of a fibrous component forming the leaf, and in which the mounting means consists of at least one supporting member having an at least partially cylindrical supporting surface cooperating with at least a part of the faces of the loop, the generatrices of the supporting surfaces being parallel to the axis of the loop.
