Abstract
A metering blade suspension system utilizes a leaf spring that performs multiple combined functions such as supporting a metering blade assembly, controlling the angle, position and/or load of the blade assembly while allowing the assembly to pivot in a quasi-frictionless motion, locking the blade assembly in place, providing an electrical connection and/or bleeding static charge.
