ABSTRACT:
An axle mount construction for a fiber reinforced resin leaf spring. The central section of the molded fiber reinforced resin spring that is adapted to be secured to an axle of a vehicle is molded with alternate longitudinally extending ridges and grooves with the ridges on one surface of the central section being vertically aligned with grooves on the opposite surface. The outer extremities of the ridges define flat lands, and a clamping mechanism secured the central section of the spring to the axle and includes clamping plates which are engaged with the lands on the ridges. The ridge and groove construction provides added section stiffness to the mounting area of the spring to reduce stress concentrations in the spring under load.
