Title:
SUSPENSION DEVICE FOR STEERING WHEEL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS6463404
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To realize anti-dive geometry without exerting any effect on steering keeping force at the time of turning by providing so-called lateral links disposed on wheel and vehicle body sides in such a way that the front side link has an dihedral angle when the rear side link is horizontally arranged. CONSTITUTION:A straight line l1 linking both ends 7a and 7b of a rear side upper link arm 7 in a natural state is substantially horizontally arranged, while a straight line l2 linking both ends 6a and 6b of a front side upper link arm 6 is arranged with a dihedral angle, respectively. Meanwhile, a front side lower link arm 8 is horizontally arranged, while a rear side lower link arm 9 is arranged with an unhedral angle. With this constitution, at the time of bumping, in the horizontal projected lengthes l1'-l4' of the upper and lower link arms 6-9, the front side link arms 6, 8 become shorter than the rear side link arms 7, 9, respectively, and further, a virtual king pin shaft is pulled by means of the front side arms 6, 8 on a hub side so as to be moved forward in parallel. Therefore, anti-dive ratio at the time of bumping can be increased.
