<p>A gas spring having a cylinder (11), a piston (16) within the cylinder (11) and a piston rod (17) projecting out of the cylinder. A seal between the rod and cylinder is formed by a cup-shaped member (59) presenting an inwardly-projecting skirt (63) that functions as a one-way check valve. A second or inner seal (65) may be optionally placed within the cup-shaped member to form a lubricant-retaining chamber.</p> |
