Abstract

A resilient support with anisotropic stiffnesses is provided particularly for bodywork suspensions, comprising as main resilient element at least one beam (1) extending in a transverse direction (y), the ends (3) of this beam (1) being secured to a first frame (6) adapted to be fixed to one of said assemblies and its middle part to a second frame (11) adapted to be fixed to the other assembly, and in that the cross section of this beam (1) has a shape such that at the level of the second beam (11) it has the desired stiffnesses, particularly in the longitudinal direction (x axis) and in the direction of the main load (z axis).
