DEVICE FOR FASTENING FRONT PART OF BODY ON VEHICLE FRAME Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B62D24/00 

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: device can be used for fastening body on vehicle frame. Proposed device has U-bolt installed for engagement with vehicle frame and pressing body to frame by means of nut and thread joint, shock absorbing unit arranged under lower web of chassis sidemember and furnished with at least two cylindrical coil compression springs of left-hand and right-hand helix for centering vector of vertical displacement of U-bolt with body relative to chassis frame at operation of van-body. Shock absorbing unit is fork-like lining made in form of channel with side slots to pass U-bolt. Two pins welded to lower surface of channel along its longitudinal axis of symmetry serve as guides simultaneously for cylindrical coil compression springs of left-hand and right-hand helix and for lower supporting movable lining fixing it constantly at vehicle motion only in longitudinal position relative to sidemembers. Fork-like lining is fixed in longitudinal position owing to enclosing of chassis sidemember lower web by channel webs, thus preventing its turning in horizontal plane.

EFFECT: reduced to minimum width of device, provision of unification.
