Segmenting intermediate leaves allows partial failure while retaining means prevent axial displacement, ensuring safe stopping after breakage.
A leaf spring frame member uses a breaking region to separate product parts from the support frame.
A leaf spring with a wider blocking portion prevents excessive rearward axle movement if the spring breaks.
A dual-rate leaf spring suspension uses deformable stop elements to provide variable stiffness for vehicle axles.
An actuator rotates a leaf spring about its longitudinal axis to change rigidity without counteracting primary support forces.
Embedded electrical leads monitor composite leaf spring integrity through continuous current flow analysis.
A central spring support integrates casting parts and half-bearings to fasten leaf springs in vehicle suspensions.
Compressing constant-width fabric layers into waves creates tapered leaf spring ends, eliminating material waste from trapezoidal cutting.
Continuous window welds on a circumferential mounting band eliminate line weld stress risers in heavy-duty axles.
Leaf springs integrated into the helmet shell increase force absorption distance, reducing axial loading on the spinal cord during collisions.
A segmented leaf spring element uses parallel-displaced sections to reduce installation height and weight.
A U-shaped leaf spring with tapered branches provides elastic support for aircraft thrust reverser shutters.
A fibre composite spring divides load introduction strands into opposite-direction segments that friction-lock to form high-strength eyes.
A plate spring unit arranges multiple springs laterally to reduce thickness in railcar bogies.
Opposing curvature directions in the one-piece leaf spring enable progressive force absorption, reducing weight and eliminating shackles.
Merging leaf springs with stabilizer bars reduces manufacturing costs while enhancing torsional resistance against excessive vehicle roll angles.
A self-adjusting connector system accommodates dimensional changes in fuel tanks through a resilient portion that permits reversible movement between mounting and flange sections.
