ABSTRACT:
A device for pivoting a rigid axle driven by a universal shaft to the frame of an automotive vehicle by means of linkage elements one end of each of which has a frame-side support on an imaginary transverse axis which is common to all supports and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and in connection with which the transverse axis intersects the universal shaft perpendicularly at the midway point between the universal joints of the transmission shaft and the rigid axle. The rigid axle is connected by spring elements to the supported part of the vehicle. Four links are provided, two of which, one individual link 1 and 2, on each side of the vehicle are pivoted in the region close to the wheel at their other end to the axle housing 11 of the rigid axle. The two other link elements, triangle links 3 and 4, form a triangle link with the transverse axis 9 as base, extend with their other ends to a common spherical support point 12 on the axle housing 11 in the region of the longitudinal axis 10 of the automotive vehicle.
