Abstract

To refine known vehicle vibration devices, the invention proposes a vehicle vibration device with a horizontal vibration means and with a means to stabilise a horizontal middle position of the horizontal vibration means, in which the horizontal vibration means is arranged horizontally vibratable in the vehicle longitudinal direction and/or in the vehicle width direction, in which the stabilisation means comprises a spring element and in which the stabilisation means is integrated in or on a damper means of a vehicle vibration device.

Claims (8)

1. Vehicle vibration device comprising a horizontal vibration means and a means to stabilise a horizontal middle position of the horizontal vibration means, in which the horizontal vibration means is arranged horizontally vibratable in the vehicle longitudinal direction and/or in the vehicle width direction, and in which the stabilisation means comprises a spring element, wherein the stabilization means is integrated in or on a damper means of the vehicle vibration device, wherein the horizontal vibration means comprises an assembly component of a vehicle seat guidance system or a vehicle cab guidance system, wherein the assembly component is a base plate, wherein the damper means is rigidly attached by its piston rod in a non-pivotal connection to the horizontal vibration means, and wherein the vehicle vibration device comprises more than one damper means arranged substantially horizontally in or to a plane spanned by the vehicle longitudinal direction and vehicle width diriection.

2. The vehicle vibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the stabilization means, in particular the spring element of the stabilisation means, is arranged inside a working chamber of the damper means.

3. The vehicle vibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the damper means are disposed opposite each other on the vehicle vibration device.

4. The vehicle vibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the damper means comprises a damper without return travel, with or without a separating piston.

5. The vehicle vibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the damper means comprises a twin tube damper.

6. The vehicle vibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the horizontal vibration means is mounted horizontally vibratable in relation to a vehicle component arranged stationary on the vehicle vibration device.

7. The vehicle seat or passenger cell or vehicle cab of a vehicle, comprising a vehicle vibration device according to claim 1 .

8. Method for stabilising a substantially horizontally vibratable horizontal vibration means of a vehicle vibration device in a horizontal middle position, in which a spring unit of a damper means stabilises the substantially horizontally vibratable horizontal vibration means in the horizontal middle position, wherein the horizontal vibration means comprises an assembly component of a vehicle seat guidance system or a vehicle cab guidance system, wherein the assembly component is a base plate, wherein the damper means is rigidly attached by its piston rod in a non-pivotal connection to the horizontal vibration means, and wherein the vehicle vibration device comprises more than one damper means arranged substantially horizontally in or to a plane spanned by the vehicle longitudinal direction and vehicle width direction.
