A fifth wheel suspension assembly (12) for damping movement between a towed vehicle and a towing vehicle is provided. The suspension assembly includes two rods (16, 18) on which a fifth wheel base (20) is mounted. The fifth wheel base moves along the two rods in a direction of the longitudinal axis of the towing vehicle. The fifth wheel base defines two bores (56) through which the rods extend. These bores also define fluid chambers (58) disposed about the rods. Pistons (22) are disposed about the rods within the fluid chambers and serve to dampen oscillatory movements of the towed vehicle relative to the towing vehicle. Springs (24, 26, 28, 30) disposed about the rods on either side of the base further dampen pitch motions imparted to the towing vehicle by the towed vehicle.

L'invention concerne un ensemble suspension de sellette d'attelage (12) destiné à amortir un déplacement entre un véhicule remorqué et un véhicule tracteur. L'ensemble suspension comprend deux barres (16, 18) sur lesquelles est montée une base de sellette (20) qui se déplace le long de ces deux barres dans le sens de l'axe longitudinal du véhicule tracteur. La base de sellette définit deux alésages (56) à travers lesquels s'étendent les barres. Ces alésages définissent également des chambres à fluide (58) qui sont disposées autour des barres. Des pistons (22) qui sont disposés autour des barres, à l'intérieur des chambres à fluide, servent à amortir les mouvements oscillatoires du véhicule remorqué par rapport au véhicule tracteur. Des ressorts (24, 26, 28, 30) qui sont disposés autour des barres, sur chaque côté de la base, amortissent en outre des mouvements de tangage imprimés au véhicule tracteur par le véhicule remorqué.
