Abstract
For changing the spring rate of a coil spring in a simple manner, a spacing element is screwable into the coil spring and can be locked in different positions with respect to the coil spring by way of a fixing device. The spring element can, for example, be screwed into the spring via its receiving groove.

Arrangement for influencing spring travel of a coil spring of a vehicle wheel suspension, comprising at least one spacing element arranged between coils of a coil spring, wherein the spacing element has a receiving groove extending corresponding to coil pitch of the coil spring and the coils are held rigidly with respect to one another, and a device for form locking engaging a recess portion of the coil spring for fixing the spacing element in various selected positions on the coil spring.
An arrangement for influencing spring travel of a coil spring of a vehicle wheel suspension, comprising at least one spacing element is arranged between coils of a coil spring, wherein the spacing element has a receiving groove extending corresponding to an ascent of the coil of the coil spring and the coils are held rigidly with respect to one another, and a fixing device for fixing the spacing element in various selected positions on the coil spring, wherein the spacing element has a thread in an upper segment thereof and has level adjustability relative to a corresponding thread of a strut cylindrical tube.
An arrangement for influencing spring travel of a coil spring of a vehicle wheel suspension, comprising at least one spacing element is arranged between coils of a coil spring, wherein the spacing element has a receiving groove extending corresponding to an ascent of the coil of the coil spring and the coils are held rigidly with respect to one another, and a fixing device for fixing the spacing element in various selected positions on the coil spring, wherein the fixing device comprises a holding element including a sleeve pin which is fittable into a bore of the spacing element and is fixable thereto via a screw, and, corresponding to an exposed partial section of the sleeve pin, at least one recess is provided in a coil, in which the sleeve pin lockingly engages by way of the partial section thereof.
An arrangement for influencing spring travel of a coil spring of a vehicle wheel suspension, comprising at least one spacing element is arranged between coils of a coil spring, wherein the spacing element has a receiving groove extending corresponding to an ascent of the coil of the coil spring and the coils are held rigidly with respect to one another, and a fixing device for fixing the spacing element in various selected positions on the coil spring, wherein the spacing element has, in a ring bounding the receiving groove, a plurality of bores for receiving the sleeve pin, and each bore constitutes a position of the spacing element with respect to the coil spring.
An arrangement for influencing spring travel of a coil spring of a vehicle wheel suspension, comprising at least one spacing element is arranged between coils of a coil spring, wherein the spacing element has a receiving groove extending corresponding to an ascent of the coil of the coil spring and the coils are held rigidly with respect to one another, and a fixing device for fixing the spacing element in various selected positions on the coil spring, wherein at least one bore configured to cooperate with a turning tool is arranged in the bounding ring of the receiving groove.
