Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A strut-type suspension device includes an upper support; a shock absorber that is supported by the upper support; a coil spring that is arranged surrounding the shock absorber, between an upper spring seat and a lower spring seat; and a bearing that is arranged between the upper spring seat and the upper support. The upper support includes a mounting portion that has a support surface for supporting the bearing. The support surface is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to a shock absorber axis.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A strut-type suspension device comprising: an upper support; a shock absorber that is supported by the upper support; a coil spring that is arranged surrounding the shock absorber, between an upper spring seat and a lower spring seat; and a bearing that is arranged between the upper spring seat and the upper support, wherein the upper support includes a mounting portion that has a support surface for supporting the bearing; and the support surface is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to a shock absorber axis, wherein the mounting portion includes the support surface, and a protruding face disposed around an inner peripheral edge of the support surface; and an angle between the support surface and the protruding face is greater than 90°. 2. The strut-type suspension device according to claim 1 , wherein an angle between the support surface and a king pin axis is substantially a right angle; and the king pin axis and a bearing rotational axis are substantially aligned. 3. The strut-type suspension device according to claim 1 , wherein the angle between the support surface and the protruding face is equal to or greater than a sum of an angle between a king pin axis and the shock absorber axis plus 90°.
