ABSTRACT:
An axle mount construction for a fiber reinforced resin leaf spring which includes a clamping plate and a generally U-shaped clamping member. The clamping member has a web and side walls that define a longitudinal channel and flanges extend laterally from the side walls and are disposed flatwise against the side edges of the clamping plate. A pair of resilient rubber-like inserts are disposed within the channel and define a longitudinal passage to receive the leaf spring. Each insert includes a web and a pair of side walls. At least one side wall of the clamping member has an undulation and the corresponding side wall of the insert has a mating undulation. The web of the clamping member and the clamping plate have elongated openings and the outer surfaces of the webs of the resilient inserts have projections that are received in the openings. The ends of the inserts project longitudinally beyond the clamping members and are tapered inwardly toward the leaf spring.
