Patent attributes
The invention relates to an axle fixation, an axle plate (5), and an axle link (2) for a sprung vehicle axle. The components of the axle fixation are a preferably tubular axle body (1), an axle link (2) which crosses the upper face and lower face of the axle body, the axle plate (5) which is arranged in the crossing region between the axle body (1) and the axle link (2), and traction elements for pulling the axle body (1) and the axle link (2) against each other, thereby deforming the axle plate (5). The axle plate (5)—is provided with two contact points (A, B) on the first side of the axle plate for supporting against the axle link (2), said contact points being mutually spaced in the longitudinal direction of the axle link (2), —has at least one deformation region (10) between the two contact points (A, B), and—is provided with a jaw (14) on the second side of the axle plate, said jaw comprising a jaw base (15) and two jaw units (11, 12) with inner surfaces (11A, 12A) which face each other and which are oriented towards the front and back face of the axle body (1), respectively. The aim of the invention is to obtain an axle fixation or an axle plate (5) with few degrees of freedom in the composite system consisting of the axle body, the axle link, and the axle plate arranged therebetween. This is achieved in that the contact points (A, B) of the axle plate (5) are designed as support regions (21, 22) which form a flat “V”, preferably forming an angle from 170° to 177.5°.
