Horizontal springing means with inclination compensation
First Claim
1. A vehicle vibration apparatus with a horizontal spring device for the horizontal springing of a seat element or a driver'"'"'s cab with respect to a base element, wherein the horizontal spring device is arranged between the seat element or the driver'"'"'s cab respectively and the base element, characterized in that the horizontal spring device comprises at least one spring element, the longitudinal axis of which extends substantially parallel to a surface of the base element, and at least one adjustment element which reacts automatically to inclinations of the seat element with respect to a horizontal plane and which first increases a spring pre-stressing of the spring element by acting with an additional force on the spring element in the longitudinal direction of the extension of the spring in order subsequently to position the horizontal spring device in the center of the spring path, wherein the automatically reacting adjustment element is a pendulum which is mounted so as to be rotatable about a fulcrum.

Abstract
The invention relates to a vehicle vibration apparatus with a horizontal spring device for the horizontal springing of a seat element and/or a driver'"'"'s cab with respect to a base element, wherein the horizontal spring device is arranged between the seat element or the driver'"'"'s cab respectively and the base element, and comprises at least one spring element, the longitudinal axis of which extends substantially parallel to a surface of the base element, and at least one adjustment element, which reacts automatically to inclinations of the seat element with respect to a horizontal plane and which first increases the spring pre-stressing of the spring element in order subsequently to position the horizontal spring device in the centre of the spring path.
