FLEXIBLE SUSPENSION WITH NONLINEAR CHARACTERISTICS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B60G3/16 F16F1/18 F16F1/22 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to machine building, namely to flexible suspensions of vehicles with nonlinear characteristics. Flexible suspension of vehicle wheel contains link and resilient member. By its one end, the link is gimbal-mounted on vehicle body, and by its other end it is connected with wheel spindle. Top surface of the link is made flat. Resilient member is made in the form of slightly bent elongated plate. One end of the plate is gimbal-mounted on vehicle body in link swinging plane. The other end of the plate is rigidly connected with the link so that plate end adheres to flat surface of the link, and convex side of the plate interacts with flat surface of the link in burnishing mode during operation.

EFFECT: providing nonlinearity of vehicle suspension characteristic.
