Snap mounting for fluid pressure cylinder.

摘要

A fluid pressure operated actuating cylinder for mounting in an aperture 13 in a wall 14 of a vehicle. The cylinder has a body having first abutments 17,18 with first locating surfaces facing in a first direction and second deflectable abutments 19 which act as first snap - connectors and are axially spaced from the first abutments and have second locating surfaces facing in a second direction generally opposed to said first direction. The first and second locating surfaces are arranged to contact respective first and second oppositely directed surfaces of the wall after insertion of the cylinder through the aperture and deflection of the second abutment to locate the cylinder in the aperture. The abutment means may be formed integrally with the cylinder or on a separate sleeve which encircles the cylinder and is snap connected thereto.
