<p>An automatic washing machine suspension system includes a plurality of suspension units (32). Each unit includes a rod (53) suspended from a stationary support ring. A hollow cylinder (34), with a cylindrical side wall and a transverse base, is connected to the moving system and is mounted around the distal end of the rod. A piston (42) mounted on the rod within the cylinder side wall includes a circumferentially continuous skirt (44) extending axially of the side wall (35). A retainer spring (52) mounted on the rod within the skirt includes a series cantilever beam fingers (54) biasing the piston skirt (44) into engagement with the cylinder side wall (35). A washer is mounted on the rod within the fingers. A coil spring (50) is mounted around the rod and extends between the base of the cylinder and the piston.</p> |
