| 20120126611 | SUSPENSION UNIT - A suspension unit | 05-24-2012 |
| 20110301804 | SUSPENSION SYSTEM - A suspension system comprises a suspension unit having a chamber arranged to contain a fluid; a piston slidably disposed within the chamber so as to act on the fluid; and a sensor arranged to measure load data relating to the load through the suspension unit. The suspension system also comprises a diagnostics processor which is arranged to receive the load data measured by the sensor of the suspension unit, and diagnose the suspension unit as abnormal if the load data received is determined to be abnormal. There is further provided a display arranged to display if the suspension unit is diagnosed as abnormal. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110291472 | SUSPENSION UNIT - There is disclosed a suspension unit comprising a suspension hub having a connecting element which is arranged to be secured to a vehicle chassis and a suspension arm which is mounted on the suspension hub for pivoting movement about an axis of the suspension hub. A resilient arrangement is accommodated within the suspension arm and includes a displaceable element which is connected by a connecting rod to a crank pin supported by the suspension hub at a position spaced from the hub axis. A rotational damper acts between the suspension hub and the suspension arm and comprises a first damping part and a second damping part that are rotatable with respect to one another and which define a damping chamber therebetween which is arranged to contain a damping fluid. A fluid expansion chamber is provided which is arranged to contain excess damping fluid and which is in fluid communication with the damping chamber through a fluid passageway. In use, pivoting of the suspension arm about the suspension hub causes displacement of the displaceable element and relative rotation between the first and second damping parts, thereby generating a rotational damping force. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20110291369 | SUSPENSION UNIT - A suspension unit is disclosed comprising: a hub | 12-01-2011 |
| 20100237579 | Suspension Unit - A suspension unit comprises a hub about which a suspension arm is pivotable. The hub is secured to a vehicle chassis or hull by means of a connecting element. The connecting element has a flange provided with holes positioned to coincide with pre-existing holes on the vehicle hole or chassis. The suspension unit can thus be retro-fitted to a vehicle in place of an existing suspension unit of a different kind. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20090260902 | Suspension Unit - A suspension unit, for example for a track-laying vehicle, comprises an oil-filled cylinder within which a piston, connected to a piston rod, is provided. The cylinder | 10-22-2009 |
