A suspension device is provided for the spring-loaded suspension of a
weight body (3) relative to a substructure (1) such as a vehicle body, a
cab (3) of a truck relative to the vehicle chassis (1). The suspension
device has a spring/absorber device (2) arranged between the weight body
(3) and the substructure (1) for absorbing shocks and vibrations. The
suspension device includes at least one Watt's linkage arrangement (6)
connecting the weight body and the substructure for reducing the degrees
of freedom of motion of the weight body (3). The suspension device
requires little maintenance and has little clearance and is suitable for
setting the degrees of freedom of motion of the weight body as well as
for absorbing and preventing the undesired motions of the weight body
along other directions in space. The suspension device thus makes
possible an inexpensive and reliably operating suspension especially of
truck cabs.
