AXLE BEAM TYPE SUSPENSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18460195 titled 'AXLE BEAM TYPE SUSPENSION
Simplified Explanation
The axle beam type suspension described in the patent application includes a pair of trailing arms, an axle beam, Watt's linkage mechanisms, and inner shafts as connection members. The inner shafts are fixed to the trailing arms via elastic members.
- Pair of trailing arms extending in the front-rear direction
- Axle beam extending in the vehicle width direction
- Pair of Watt's linkage mechanisms coupling the trailing arms at a position rearward of the axle beam
- Inner shafts connecting the outer end portions of the Watt's linkage mechanisms

Original Abstract Submitted
The axle beam type suspension includes: the pair of trailing arms extending in the front-rear direction with the respective front end sections supported on the vehicle body and the respective rear end sections coupled to the wheels; the axle beam extending in the vehicle width direction and coupling the pair of trailing arms to each other; the pair of Watt's linkage mechanisms extending in the vehicle width direction, coupling the pair of trailing arms to each other at a position rearward of the axle beam, and fixed at a middle part to the vehicle body; and the inner shafts as connection members connecting the vehicle-width-direction outer end portions of one of the pair of Watt's linkage mechanisms and the other Watt's linkage mechanism. The inner shafts are characterized in that they are fixed to the trailing arms via the elastic members surrounding the inner shafts.
