ABSTRACT:
A multipurpose splint means for at least temporary repair of a broken leaf element of a spring leaf assembly, the splint means comprising an elongated arcuate spring steel member having a convex surface intermediate ends thereof adapted to be juxtaposed to a fracture in a broken leaf element, spaced bolt positioning means formed in the member at opposite ends of the convex surface for receiving and positioning securement members to attach the splint member to the assembly, the central portion of the convex surface lying exteriorly of a plane tangent to surface portions of the positioning means whereby the convex surface is adapted to realign and retain the broken ends of the broken leaf element. The elongated arcuate splint member is also provided with an end portion extending beyond one of the bolt positioning means, the end portion being upturned at a selected radius to cradle the eye formed at the end of a main spring leaf element in the event fracture occurs adjacent to the eye.
