Abstract:
1. A combined motor vehicle and leaf spring assembly comprising: a motor vehicle including first and second leaf spring receiving devices; and a leaf spring including a first spring leg and a second spring leg that is shorter than the first spring leg, wherein: the first spring leg and the second spring leg are arranged at an angle relative to each other and are connected with each other via a transition portion such that the leaf spring is substantially L-shaped, the first spring leg includes a first end that is fixed in the first leaf spring receiving device so as to be non-displaceable relative to the motor vehicle in a longitudinal direction of the leaf spring, and the second spring leg includes a second end that is fixed in the second leaf spring receiving device so as to be non-displaceable relative to the motor vehicle in the longitudinal direction of the leaf spring, such that a load-related deformation of the leaf spring generates both a bending load transversely to the longitudinal direction of the leaf spring and a tensile force in the longitudinal direction of the leaf spring, and the first spring leg includes a region arranged between the first end and the second end that is connected to a hub or a wheel axle of the motor vehicle, wherein at least one of the first end and the second end of the leaf spring is fixed in a moment-resistant way in the respective leaf spring receiving device.
