International Classification:

B61F 308

280712

Abstract:

Pneumatic-coil series spring support means, as for vehicles, which substantially inhibits tilt of the pneumatic spring component, as by providing a rigid extension of the movable spring seat of the pneumatic spring component and hinging the remote end of the rigid seat extension to the member which carries the relatively fixed spring seat of the pneumatic spring component, leaving the coil spring component to take the required lateral movement of the combined spring support means; particularly for arrangements in which the pneumatic spring component is located below the coil spring component.
