Abstract
Abstract An axle suspension, especially for the rear axle of motor vehicles in which two oppositely directed longitudinal guide members are pivotally connected with the wheel carrier serving as coupler member while a brake stator is pivotally supported on the forwardly extending guide member; the free ends of the longitudinal guide members are so pivotally connected at the vehicle superstructure that the straight lines extending through their joint axes intersect to the rear of the rear axle, and preferably at a point located to the rear thereof by at least one wheel diameter.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
An axle suspension in vehicles, especially for the rear axle of motor vehicles, which includes one longitudinal wheel guide means pivotally connected at a wheel carrier means eccentrically of the wheel axis and brake stator means, for the equalization of the brake pitching, pivotally supported on the wheel carrier means and supported on the one longitudinal guide means by way of a connecting means, characterized in that the wheel carrier means is guided as coupler means between said one longitudinal guide means and another, oppositely directed longitudinal guide means, said other guide means being inclined as viewed in side view of the vehicle, to said one guide means for the purpose of the equalization of the starting dive movements in such a manner that the centerlines of the two guide means extending through respective joint means thereof intersect each other, in the spring center position of the vehicle, at a point located to the rear of the axle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
An axle suspension in vehicles, especially for the rear axle of motor vehicles, which includes one longitudinal wheel guide means pivotally connected at a wheel carrier means eccentrically of the wheel axis and brake stator means, for the equalization of the brake pitching, pivotally supported on the wheel carrier means and supported on the one longitudinal guide means by way of a connecting means, characterized in that the wheel carrier means is guided as coupler means between said one longitudinal guide means and another, oppositely directed longitudinal guide means, said other guide means being inclined as viewed in side view of the vehicle, to said one guide means for the purpose of the equalization of the starting dive movements in such a manner that the centerlines of the two guide means extending through respective joint means thereof intersect each other, in the spring center position of the vehicle, at a point located to the rear of the axle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
An axle suspension according to claim 1, wherein the centerlines of the two longitudinal guide means are both inclined rearwardly downwardly in the spring center position of the vehicle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
