Patent ID: 7140624

Claim:
An arm for a motor-vehicle independent suspension system designed to be interposed between a wheel carrier and a vehicle body, wherein the arm comprises: at least two flexible blade-like elements extending substantially transversely and having their transversely outer ends adapted to be connected to the wheel carrier in such a way that the wheel carrier can rotate relative to the arm around a first, substantially longitudinal axis, and their transversely inner ends adapted to be connected to the vehicle body in such a way that the arm can rotate relative to vehicle body around a second, substantially longitudinal axis; and a torsionally stiff connection element which connect the at least two flexible blade-like elements to each other, wherein the planes of the said at least two flexible blade-like elements intersect along a third axis of predetermined orientation, in such a way that the wheel carrier can rotate relative to the vehicle body around the third axis as a result of the deformation of the at least two flexible blade-like elements about the third axis, and wherein the torsionally stiff connection element is interposed between the ends of the blade-like elements.
