Abstract
A torsion bar bearing is disclosed, comprising a relatively rigid frame (1) which can be locked on the bar and having inwardly resilient material ribs (5) parallel to the axis of the bar and adapted to grip it when the frame is locked. A resilient material pad (6) more flexible than the ribs is fixed externally to the frame (1) for absorbing the torsion forces. The frame may be formed of two half-shells (1a, 1b) connected together by a hinge (2) and/or being snap-fitted one on the other by a snap-fit mechanism (3, 4) provided opposite the hinge or on each side of the half-shells.
