FLEXIBLE SLEEVE, GAS SPRING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD

摘要

A flexible sleeve dimensioned for securement to an associated end member for an associated gas spring assembly includes a flexible wall with an inside surface, an outside surface and an end surface along an open end. An annular reinforcement member is embedded within the flexible wall adjacent the open end. A retainment element is substantially fully embedded within the flexible wall adjacent the open end and between the annular reinforcement member and at least one of the inside surface, the outside surface and the end surface. At least one gas spring piston, at least one gas spring assembly and at least one method are also included.
