Patent ID: 8047514

Claim:
A spring arrangement for a vehicle, comprising: a first spring device; a second spring device; and a stop device provided in a middle section of the second spring device, wherein the first spring device and the second spring device are mechanically arranged in series and are adapted to support a component of the vehicle on a further component of the vehicle in a support direction, the first spring device comprises a first transverse rigidity in a transverse direction running transverse to the support direction, the second spring device comprises a second transverse rigidity in the transverse direction, which is smaller than the first transverse rigidity, the first spring device and the second spring device are arranged so as to be nested in the support direction, and the stop device achieves a progressive characteristic of the second transverse rigidity by limiting a transverse deflection of a first part of the second spring device with respect to the first spring device and allowing transverse deflection of a second part of the second spring device with respect to the first spring device.
