Upper articulated connecting device between a spring-shock absorber assembly and the chassis of a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. Upper articulated connecting device between a spring-shock absorber assembly and the chassis of a motor vehicle, which comprises:
- a central internal frame (1,2,3) having a means (3) for securing the upper end of the shock absorber and surrounded by a swivel joint (4);
an external frame (5) carrying on its lower face a lining (6) on which a suspension spring bears and which is closed at the top by a cover (8);
a low rigidity ring (11), secured between a lower portion of said swivel joint (4) and an annular bearing surface (13) integral with said external frame (5); and
a high rigidity encircling member (14) whose external peripheral surface (15) extends at a short distance from the internal peripheral surface (16) of said cover (8), this encircling ember (14) having two axial abutment surfaces (20,22), one adapted to bear against the bottom (21) of said cover, the other against a peripheral flange (23) of said annular bearing surface (13).

Abstract
An upper articulated connecting device for connection between a spring-shock absorber assembly and the chassis of a motor vehicle, comprising: a frame (b 1,2,3) having a connecting piece (3) for securing the upper end of the shock absorber and girdled by a swivel joint (4); a frame (5) having on its lower face a lining (6) supporting the suspension spring and closed at the top by a cover (8); a low rigidity ring (11), secured between the lower portion of the swivel joint (4) and an annular bearing surface (13) integral with the frame (5); a high rigidity girdle whose external peripheral surface extends at a short distance from the internal peripheral surface of the cover, this girdle having two axial abutment surfaces, one adapted to bear against the bottom of the cover, and the other against a peripheral flange of the annular bearing surface.
