Patent ID: 8382131

Claim:
A single wheel suspension of a non-steerable wheel of a two track vehicle, comprising: first and second links, which are pivotable relative to each other in respective planes, each of said planes being inclined by not more than 10° relative to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle and by not more than 10° relative to a vertical direction; wherein: the first link, which extends approximately in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, is operatively configured as a wheel carrier, in that a wheel bearing is fastened in an end section of the first link in a receptacle, the first link is supported at the other end section on a vehicle body via a pendulum support, the pendulum support extending essentially in the vertical direction in an as-designed position, the second link, which extends essentially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, is supported on one side in an articulated manner on the vehicle body with only one kinematic rotational degree of freedom and on the other side is connected in an articulated connection to the first link between the wheel bearing and a fastening point of the pendulum support with only one kinematic rotational degree of freedom, an axis of rotation of the articulated connection between the first link and the second link is slightly inclined relative to at least one of a horizontal and transverse direction of the vehicle in the as-designed position; wherein the single wheel suspension requires no other wheel guiding link but includes a connecting element that produces the articulated connection between the first link and the second link.
