Elastomer shock absorber of determinable characteristics - has shaft guide fitting into container of variable inner dia.

摘要

The shock absorber comprises a container filled with an elastomer and a shaft in a guide to close the container. The container (1) has an alterable inner diameter where the shaft (3) guide (2) fits, the diameter being determined by a non-parallel surface straight line (6) to the lengthways axis of the chamber. Alternatively, the line can be convex or concave. The arrangement overcomes difficulties where a constant dia. in the container appertains, preventing the exact characteristics of the shock absorber from being determined.
