Suspension device for vehicle seats and/or vehicle cabins having an elastomer member
First Claim
1. A suspension device for vehicle seats and/or vehicle cabins for applying a spring force to a vibratory motion of a first component relative to a second component, in a longitudinal or transverse direction of a vehicle, wherein at least one elongate spring member extending in the longitudinal or transverse direction of the vehicle is connected at a first end and at a second end to the first component and in a central region thereof to the second component,wherein the elongate spring member is made from a flexible elastomer material that is formed to be rod-shaped, and wherein at least two metal strip members that at least partially extend parallel to each other are arranged in a longitudinal direction of the spring member within the elastomer material and/or adjacent thereto, wherein the elongate spring member is rotatable about a longitudinal axis thereof, wherein a first rotary position of the elongate spring member has a first deformation characteristic, wherein a second rotary position of the elongate spring member has a second deformation characteristic.

Abstract
The invention relates to a suspension device for vehicle seats and/or vehicle cabins for applying a spring force to a vibratory motion of a first component relative to a second component, preferably in the longitudinal and/or transverse direction of the vehicle, wherein at least one elongate spring member extending at least in the longitudinal and/or transverse direction of the vehicle is connected in at least one end region to the first component and in the central region thereof to the second component, wherein the elongate spring member is made from a flexible elastomer material that is formed to be rod-shaped.
