Coil spring support for vehicular suspension system
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a coil spring support for a vehicular suspension system, which comprises a base plate and a support column protruding from the base plate, wherein a coil spring is coupled to the support column in such a manner that the lower end of the coil spring is fitted in and coupled to a coupling groove, which is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the support column and at a position having a predetermined height from the base plate, so that the coil spring support can be auxiliarily installed on a plate spring of a vehicle so as to compensate and improve a shock absorbing capability of the existing vehicle.
1. A coil spring support for a vehicular suspension system, the coil spring support comprising:
a base plate;
a support column protruding from the base plate; and
a coil spring coupled to the support column,
wherein a lower end of the coil spring is fitted into a coupling groove which is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the support column at a position having a predetermined height from the base plate,
wherein the support column includes a base column having a large diameter ranging from a lower end to a predetermined height to form a sill portion, and a coupling ring coupled to an upper portion of the base column,
wherein the coupling groove is formed by a gap between an upper end of the sill portion and a lower end of the coupling ring, and
wherein the upper portion of the base column is formed with screw threads such that the coupling ring is formed to be screwed with the upper portion of the base column.
2. The coil spring support of claim 1 , further comprising: at least one separation prevention ring installed in the coupling groove and having an outer periphery having a diameter larger than a diameter of the support column, wherein the separation prevention ring is supported by the sill portion or the coupling ring to prevent a lower end of the coil spring from being separated from the coupling groove.
3. The coil spring support of claim 2 , further comprising:
a washer installed between the coupling ring and the separation prevention ring,
wherein:
a key is formed on an inner periphery of the washer,
a key groove is formed in a vertical direction on an outer periphery of the base column, the key is inserted into the key groove, and
the washer is installed on the base column.
4. The coil spring support of claim 1 , further comprising:
a clearance adjustment ring fitted into a lower end of the coil spring, wherein the clearance adjustment ring is fitted into the coupling groove in a state in which the clearance adjustment ring is fitted to the lower end of the coil spring.
