TUBULAR ELASTOMERIC SPRING HAVING CONTROLLABLE BREAKOVER AND SPRING RATE The outer profile of the spring is shaped to control breakover (i.e., the change in spring deflection from constant to rising rate) and spring rate. A process for inducing breakover in thickwalled elastomeric springs, which normally have no breakover, and for controlling breakover, whether so induced or occurring naturally, as well as spring rate, is disclosed. A seal for sealing one or both ends of the spring also is enclosed. |
