Vehicle body suspension system

A vehicle, comprising:

• (a) a chassis;
• (b) wherein said chassis of said vehicle comprises a frame to which a large percentage of components of said vehicle are engaged either directly or indirectly and from which a large percentage of components of said vehicle derive support directly or indirectly;
• (c) wherein said chassis further comprises a primary suspension system that provides said vehicle with a relatively low resistance to translation along the ground and that is engaged to said frame in such a manner that it supports said frame above said ground;
• (d) a body structure that is constructed in such a manner that objects and/or individuals may be supported upon or within said body structure;
• (e) a vehicle body suspension system that is engaged to both said chassis of said vehicle and said body structure of said vehicle in such a manner that said body structure of said vehicle is supported by said vehicle body suspension system which is, in turn, supported by said chassis of said vehicle;
• (f) wherein said chassis, said vehicle body suspension system, and said body structure that is supported by said vehicle body suspension system are constructed in such a manner that said vehicle body suspension system allows for relative movement between said vehicle body structure and said chassis in certain directions and within limited ranges;
• (g) wherein said vehicle body suspension system comprises one or more spring/damper components that are engaged to said vehicle in such a manner that each of said spring/damper components resists relative motion between said body structure and said chassis of said vehicle, at least when said body structure and said chassis of said vehicle are in certain positions relative to one another;
• (h) wherein one or more of said spring/damper components of said vehicle body suspension system are reinforced elastomer block spring/damper components which comprise an elastomer body that is a block of elastomer material and which also comprise a reinforcement wall that is constructed of a very rigid material and which completely surrounds one or more cross-sections of said elastomer body of said elastomer block spring/damper component perpendicular to a compression axis of said elastomer body;
• and
• (i) wherein one or more of said elastomer bodies of one or more of said spring/damper components comprises at least some portion thereof that. is both surrounded by one of said reinforcing walls and that is also engaged to said vehicle in such a manner that it is compressed between one of said spring/damper mounting components and said corresponding compression component, at least when said body structure is in certain positions relative to said chassis structure.
