Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, the telescoping system must be quite long to account for the required suspension travel
This results in increased weight
Additionally, telescoping mechanisms are limited to linear motion throughout their range of suspension
[0005] However, if the shock absorber is operated by connecting the shock absorber to a link and pivot of the suspended wheel, the shock absorber itself can be made smaller and lighter, but increases the weight of the pivot and link
Also, adding pivots requires maintenance on those pivots
[0006] Plus, the stiction of telescoping shock absorbers and pivots makes it difficult for them to absorb both small bumps and the initial spikes of larger bumps

Embodiment Construction

[0049] The present invention relates to a suspension system for a vehicle by utilizing two or more flexures connecting the frame side of the vehicle to the wheel side, wherein the travel of the suspension follows a curved path, depending on the desired actuation force In response, different travel paths can be realized by changing the configuration of the system. These flexures provide suspension without suspension guide aids (ie sliding surfaces and / or links and pivots), which translates into less maintenance and better response to actuation. Additionally the weight of additional components such as telescoping arms and / or linkages and pivots is eliminated.

Abstract

This invention relates to a vehicle suspension system where two or more flexible members are arranged in a non-planar way with a distance there between. These flexible members are being rigidly mounted between a frame structure of a vehicle and a wheel structure of the vehicle and the arrangement of the flexible members is so as to provide guided suspension and being resistive against forces other than those in the intended direction of the suspension movement.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle suspension system, and a vehicle comprising such a suspension system. Background technique [0002] Today's bicycle (bicycle and motorcycle) suspension systems utilize telescoping sliding surfaces to direct the compression of their suspension and damping units (hereinafter referred to as shock absorbers). The suspended wheels can be connected directly to telescopic shock absorbers, as is the case with most front suspension systems. The suspended wheel can also be connected to the shock absorber by links and pivots, allowing the force and displacement experienced by the shock absorber to be increased or decreased while reducing the vertical load on the shock absorber, as usual rear The same is true for the wheel suspension system. Modern telescopic shock absorbers in most cases use springs or compressed air to generate suspension and hydraulic devices to generate damping. [0003] While modern air-sprung tel...
