Zusammenfassung:A suspension system for vehicles includes a lever mounted on a lug of the vehicle frame. The lever has a vehicle wheel mounted for rotation on an axle which is constructed transversely to one of the ends of the lever and a nonrotatable axle flange supports a brake for controlling rotation of the wheel. The lever has at its opposite end two opposed resilient means, one of the resilient means cushions the wheel to absorb both the weight of the vehicle and the ground reaction forces in one direction, and the other resilient means opposes wheel movement in a downward direction so it will not easily descend into chuckholes or the like thus adding stability to the wheel.
