Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus for coupling a trailing arm may include a carrier having defining an open space on one side thereof, a trailing arm, one end of which includes an extension inclined at a predetermined angle and inserted into the space, and an assist arm, an end of which is inserted into the space and positioned on one side of the extension, in which the extension and the end of the assist arm inserted into the space may be integrally coupled to the carrier.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for coupling a trailing arm for a vehicle, comprising: a carrier having an open space on one side thereof; the trailing arm, a first end of which includes an extension inclined at a predetermined angle and inserted into the open space; and an assist arm, an end of which is inserted into the open space and positioned on one side of the extension, wherein the extension and the end of the assist arm coupled to each other by a single member and inserted into the open space are coupled to the carrier by the single member in common. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a first boundary of the open space is coupled with the trailing arm at a plurality of positions, and a second boundary of the open space includes a through-hole through which the assist arm is coupled by the single member. 3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the extension is in contact with and supported by an inner portion of the first boundary of the open space. 4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a bushing of the assist arm is configured to pass through and is coupled into the open space. 5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the extension is an inclined bend at a lower side of the first end of the trailing arm. 6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the extension is an inclined bend at a lower side of the first end of the trailing arm, and an indentation groove is formed between the extension and a remainder of the trailing arm that does not form the inclined bend. 7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the trailing arm and the carrier are coupled by the single member to have a horizontal orientation relative to the vehicle on which the apparatus is implemented. 8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the extension and the end of the assist arm inserted into the open space are coupled to the carrier by the single member in a longitudinal direction relative to the vehicle. 9. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the extension is bent towards a wheel of the vehicle on which the apparatus is implemented. 10. An apparatus for coupling a trailing arm for a vehicle, comprising: a carrier having an open space on one side thereof; the trailing arm, a first end of which includes an extension inclined at a predetermined angle and inserted into the open space; and an assist arm, an end of which is inserted into the open space and positioned on one side of the extension, wherein the trailing arm and the carrier are coupled in a first direction, and the extension and the end of the assist arm inserted into the open space are coupled to the carrier in a second direction different from the first direction.
