Abstract
For prevention against the air leakage from the air springs in the suspension assembly for a road vehicle, it is disclosed to eliminate the interference that will happen between beams mounted to axle housings and air springs disposed between the beams and the frame. Air springs,are arranged between a frame,and the extremities of beams,mounted to axle housings. On each of the air springs,, there is provided a relief,between the beam,and the lowest end of a housing,which constitutes a plunger,serving as a second support member of the air spring,. This relief,makes it possible to prevent the interference that is thought to happen between the bent beam,and the housing,when the beam,deflects. Hence, the housings,are kept from the damages due to the collision with the beams,and further it is ensured to keep air-tightly auxiliary air chambers,communicated with air chambers,in diaphragms,through air passages
