Transverse Link Made of Fibre-Reinforced Plastics Material for a Wheel Suspension of a Vehicle
First Claim
1. A transverse link made of fibre-reinforced plastics material for a wheel suspension of a vehicle, which transverse link is pivotable on at least two of its bearing elements about a common pivot axis or about pivot axes running substantially coaxially with respect to one another, these at least two bearing elements being connected by a single-shell connecting element having at least two connecting arms to at least one bearing element having a ball and socket joint bearing, the bearing elements and the connecting element being elements of an integral plastics material moulded part, wherein the integral plastics material moulded part is produced by extrusion of plastics material containing fibres, the bearing elements having bearing bushes or bearing shells surrounded in a material-uniting manner by extrusion of the plastics material, the ball and socket joint bearing having a bearing bush or a shell-shaped sliding capsule, which is produced from plastics material and is connected in a material-uniting manner to the connecting element, the connecting element comprising a centre or transverse web connecting the bearing elements, and at least one edge web, which is connected to the centre or transverse web and, with the latter, defines an angle.

Abstract
A transverse link made of fibre-reinforced plastics material for a wheel suspension, which transverse link is pivotable on its bearing elements about a common pivot axis or axes running substantially coaxially with respect to one another, these bearing elements being connected by a single-shell connecting element having connecting arms to a bearing element having a ball and socket joint bearing. The bearing elements and the connecting element are elements of an integral plastics material. In order to produce a transverse link of this type, disclosed is an integral plastics material moulded part produced by extrusion of plastics, the bearing elements having bearing bushes shells surrounded by extrusion of the plastics material. The ball and socket joint bearing have a bearing bush or a shell-shaped sliding capsule, produced from plastics material and connected to the connecting element, the connecting element comprising a centre or transverse web connecting the bearing elements.
