Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A Retrofittable Air Suspension Brackets assembly comprises an air spring retained between an Upper Air Spring Mount and a Lower Air Spring Bracket. The Upper Air Spring Mount is attached to Upper Frame Brackets that are held in place by two U-Bolts, which also secure the Lower Air Spring Bracket and a Cradle Structure which limits movement of the vehicle frame member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A rear air suspension bracket assembly device consisting of, an air spring, a lower air spring bracket, two upper air spring brackets,-two U-Bolts, an upper air spring mount, and a cradle structure, where the lower air spring bracket is attached to a factory leaf spring, where the two upper air spring brackets are attached to a vehicle frame, where the air spring is secured at an upper end to the two upper air spring brackets, and where the air spring is secured at a lower end to the lower air spring bracket, where the two U-Bolts encircle the vehicle frame, and where the two U-Bolts are attached to both the cradle structure and the two upper air spring brackets by a plurality of nuts, where the upper air spring mount is attached to the two upper air spring brackets by a plurality of upper frame bots and upper frame nuts, where the cradle structure provides an amount of limitation to movement of the vehicle frame. 2. An air suspension bracket assembly device comprising, an air spring, a lower air spring bracket, two upper air spring brackets,-two U-Bolts, an upper air spring mount, and a cradle structure, where the two U-Bolts encircle the vehicle frame, and where the two U-Bolts are attached to both the cradle structure and the two upper air spring brackets by a plurality of cradle nuts. 3. The device of claim 2 , where the lower air spring bracket is attached to a factory leaf spring. 4. The device of claim 2 , where the two upper air spring brackets are attached to a vehicle frame. 5. The device of claim 2 , where the air spring is secured at an upper end of the two upper air spring brackets, and where the air spring is secured at a lower end of the lower air spring bracket. 6. The device of claim 2 , where the upper air spring mount is attached to the two upper air spring frame brackets by a plurality of upper frame bolts and upper frame nuts. 7. The device of claim 6 , where the cradle structure provides an amount of limitation to movement along the vehicle frame. 8. The device of claim 7 , where the vehicle frame has a front suspension section and a rear suspension section, and the air suspension bracket assembly attached to the rear suspension section. 9. An air suspension bracket assembly device consisting of, an air spring, a lower air spring bracket, two upper air spring brackets, two U-Bolts, an upper air spring mount, and a cradle structure, where the lower air spring bracket is attached to a factory leaf spring, where the two upper air spring brackets are attached to a rear suspension section of a vehicle frame, and where the two U-Bolts encircle the vehicle frame. 10. The device of claim 9 , where the air spring is secured at an upper end to the two upper air spring brackets, and where the air spring is secured at a lower end to the lower air spring bracket, and where the two U-Bolts are attached to both the cradle structure and the upper air spring brackets by a plurality of nuts. 11. The device of claim 10 , where the upper air spring mount is attached to the upper air spring brackets by a plurality of upper frame bolts and upper frame nuts, where the cradle structure provides an amount of limitation to movement along the vehicle frame.
