Patent ID: 11319004

Abstract:
The invention relates to a tracked vehicle (V1, V2) comprising a vehicle body (20; 120), at least one track assembly (10) and a suspension device (S). Said track assembly (10) is arranged to be supported by said vehicle body (20; 120) by means of said suspension device (S). Said track assembly comprises a track support beam (12) for supporting a plurality of road wheels (16), an endless track (14) being disposed around said road wheels. Said suspension device (S) comprises a leaf spring arrangement (30; 130, 142, 144) having portions transversally arranged relative to the longitudinal extension of the vehicle. Said leaf spring arrangement comprises L-shaped leaf spring members (30; 130), each leaf spring member (30; 130) having a first portion (32; 132) attached to said vehicle body (20; 120), a second portion (34; 134) attached to said track support beam (12) and a transition portion (36; 136) there between, so that compressive and tensile stresses are located to said transition portion (36; 136) for generating a compressive action in said transition portion.
