Abstract
Abstract A mounting bracket for assembling an auxiliary shock absorber to a vehicle chassis. In use, it is bolted to the underside of the chassis I-beam. The bracket has a mounting plate, a part of the upper surface thereof confronting the underside of the I-beam. An upstanding flange abuts the I-beam and aligns the bracket with respect to the I-beam and also divides the mounting plate between its confronting and non-confronting surfaces. A pair of support plates accommodate an auxiliary shock mounting boss. A bolt is inserted through the support plates and the mounting boss. A pair of flanges are mounted edgewise to the mounting plate and extend below the mounting plate, providing structural reinforcement for the bracket.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
211 words
A shock absorber mounting bracket for mounting an auxiliary shock absorber on the underside of an I-beam suspension member with a mounting bolt received through a mounting hole in the I-beam suspension member which comprises: a main load bearing mounting plate fro being connected to the underside of the I-beam suspension member, said mounting plate having a first part forming a generally planar engagement surface adapted for being positioned against the underside of the I-beam suspension member in a confronting relationship and said first part having a vertical mounting hole therethrough adapted to receive the mounting bolt passing through the mounting hole in the I-beam suspension member, abutment means adjacent said first part and extending vertically upwardly from said support plate for positioning said mounting hole with respect to the mounting hole in the I-beam suspension member and for aligning said support plate generally transversely with respect to the I-beam suspension member, said mounting plate having a second part extending horizontally beyond the I-beam suspension member, a pair of spaced parallel support plates extending upwardly from said second part, said support plates having a pair of holes in horizontal alignment for the reception of a shock absorber mounting bolt, reinforcing flanges extending downwardly from the longitudinal edges of said mounting plate.
