Abstract:
1. A leaf spring arrangement for a chassis of a motor vehicle, comprising: a leaf spring having a longitudinal axis comprising multiple layers made of a glass fiber composite plastic, at least one reinforcement made of a carbon composite plastic and being disposed between an upper one and a lower one of said multiple layers, and a core made of a different material than the at least one reinforcement and being disposed between said upper and lower layers, wherein the at least one reinforcement is arranged along a longitudinal side of the core; a center connection for coupling a center region of the leaf spring to an axle of the motor vehicle, said center connection having a support surface for supporting the leaf spring, wherein a transverse axis of the support surface is tilted in a first direction by an angle relative to a horizontal axis of the motor vehicle, said first direction being opposite to a second direction in which a transverse axis of a support surface of another center connection on the axle is tilted; and at least two bodywork connections for coupling the leaf spring to a vehicle body of the motor vehicle via respective ends of the leaf spring, each of said respective ends defining a bearing having a bearing axis defining a longitudinal extent of the bearing extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the leaf spring, wherein the bearing axis is tilted in the first direction by said angle relative to the horizontal axis of the motor vehicle.
