ABSTRACT:
A linkage is provided for interconnecting two horizontally spaced bodies so that relative vertical movement of the two bodies occurs in a linear path. The linkage comprises a link member having universal pivotal connection to one of the bodies, for example the wheel hub of an automobile. The other end of the link is deformed into a vertical planar configuration and defines a vertically curved slot and a horizontal slot horizontally spaced from the vertically curved slot. Two horizontal pins are rigidly affixed to the other body, for example the chassis or frame of the automobile, and respectively traverse the vertically curved and horizontal slots with the result that the wheel hub can only move in a generally vertical direction relative to the frame along a linear path.
