Abstract
A suspension arrangement for spring suspending a mass body () in relation to a substructure (), for example, a driver's cabin () of a heavy goods vehicle in relation to the vehicle chassis () thereof. The suspension arrangement comprises a spring/damper arrangement () which is arranged between the mass body () and the substructure () and which is used to dampen thrusts and/or oscillations. The suspension arrangement in characterized in that it comprises at least one pantograph () which is used to reduce the freedom of movement of the mass body (). The inventive suspension arrangement is constructively robust and can determine the provided freedom of movement of the mass body in a reliable manner and can dampen and/or prevent undesired movements in other spatial directions. The invention enables an economical and a reliable spring suspension, in particular, for a driver's cabin of heavy good vehicles, to be produced.
