Einschnappbaren Stossfänger für Lüftfedern.

摘要

An air spring (1) has a pair of spaced end members (2,3) for mounting the spring at spaced locations on a structure. A flexible sleeve (10) of elastomeric material is sealingly engaged with the end members and forms a pressurized fluid chamber (15) therebetween. A post (36) is mounted on one of the end members and extends into the fluid chamber. A shock absorbing bumper (20) formed of a high strength plastic is snap-fitted on an enlarged top of the post (36). A plurality of circumferentially arranged flexible fingers (46) define an opening in a base of the bumper, and are snap-fitted over the enlarged top (39) of the post which extends into the opening and seat into an annular undercut (40) formed in the post beneath the enlarged top. The snap-fitted plastic bumper (20) replaces the heretofore used elastomeric bumper.
