ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling the spring constant of a laminated leaf spring assembly includes a clamping mechanism mounted on the laminated leaf spring assembly for clamping the laminated leaf spring assembly in the direction of thickness thereof. The clamping mechanism includes a fixed spring-supporting member on which a helper spring unit of the assembly is attached to be separated a determined distance from a main spring unit of the assembly. A movable press member positioned to face the helper spring unit and press the main spring unit against the helper spring unit is also provided. The controlling apparatus further includes a piston arrangement for pressing the press member to urge the main spring unit against the helper spring unit.
