The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: A suspension assembly 200 for a vehicle includes a spring link (202) having an inner end configured to be pivotally coupled to body of the vehicle and an outer end configured to support a wheel of the vehicle. The spring link (202) includes a pair of weak spots to induce, in event of an impact force from the wheel, to buckle the spring link (202) at an impact value lower than one that would cause damage to wheel bolts, thereby absorbing the impact and preventing damage to the wheel bolts. The weak spots include a first weak spot (204) that results in buckling of spring link (202) in a vertical plane at a first threshold impact value, and a second weak spot (206) that results in buckling of spring link in a horizontal plane at a second threshold impact value which is higher than the first threshold impact value.
