Disclosed is a hydraulic damper wherein the main damper tube has a narrowed section and it includes at least one additional piston assembly adapted to be received in the narrowed section to generate additional damping force. The piston assembly comprises a compression valve assembly and a rebound valve assembly each comprising at least one deflective disc. A sealing ring assembly is disposed between the compression and rebound valve assembles and comprises a first annular member having a plurality of channels covered by the deflective disc of the compression valve assembly; a second annular member having a plurality of channels, covered by the deflective disc of the rebound valve assembly; an axial projection between the annular members radially internal to the axial channels; and a sealing ring displaceable axially between the annular members and radially over the axial projection and adapted to cooperate with the narrowed section of the tube.

A damper including a tube, a piston, and a base line valve. The base line valve arranged in fluid communication with at least one of a first and second working chamber of the tube. The base line valve includes a housing, a plug slidably disposed in the housing along a valve axis between open and closed positions, and a spring. The plug includes a plug nose extending through an opening of the housing. The plug nose includes a first annular surface and a second annular surface. The first annular surface being sealingly engaged with a seat of the housing when the plug is in the closed position. The second annular surface being positioned radially inward of the seat by a first dimension when the plug is in the closed position and by a second dimension greater than the first dimension when the plug is in the open position.

A damper assembly for a bicycle wheel assembly may include a first damper configured to be disposed about a hub assembly of the bicycle wheel assembly. The first damper is configured to apply a first damping force against a spoke segment of at least one spoke of a plurality of spokes of the bicycle wheel assembly. The spoke segment is spaced apart from a spoke attachment member.

An engine mount may include: a support device; a bracket device; and a vibration proof device which connects the support device and the bracket device, and, in which the vibration proof device may include a nozzle device fastened to the support device, and has a nozzle plate dividing an internal space of the vibration proof device into a first liquid chamber and a second liquid chamber, and a flow path penetrating the nozzle plate; a first insulator defining the first liquid chamber together with the nozzle plate; a first core protruding from the first insulator toward one side, and fastened to the bracket device; a second insulator defining the second liquid chamber together with the nozzle plate; and a second core protruding from the second insulator and fastened to the bracket device.

A damper device for a machine tool, the damper device comprising a tubular element having a cavity and a central axis, the tubular element comprising a first surface; a damping mass arranged within the cavity and movable radially with respect to the central axis and relative to the tubular element; at least one spring element supporting the damping mass relative to the tubular element, the damping mass and the at least one spring element being arranged to attenuate kinetic vibration energy of the damper device; at least one fixed part having a fixed interior portion inside the cavity and a second surface; and a vibration damping material provided between the first surface and the second surface, the vibration damping material being arranged to attenuate potential vibration energy of the damper device; wherein the vibration damping material is substantially evenly compressed between the first surface and the second surface.

A damping device has a pin member inserted slidably in a cylindrical case member. The bottom of the case member has: a hole forming section in which an insertion hole is formed; and a slit for allowing the hole forming section to be expanded and deformed. The outer peripheral surface of the pin member and/or the inner peripheral surface of the hole forming section has a tapered section tilted relative to the axial direction. The movement of the pin member of being pressed into the insertion hole from the inside causes the outer peripheral surface of the pin member and the inner peripheral surface of the hole forming section to slide on each other along the tapered section, and as a result, the insertion hole is expanded.

A crush-can is provided. That crush-can includes a first wall, a second wall within the first wall and a corrugated core between the first wall and the second wall. A method for producing the crush-can via 3D printing is also disclosed.

A protective headgear can include a core and two or more impact absorbing layers coupled to the core. At least one impact absorbing layer can include a number of impact absorbing components that are configured to absorb and reduce the force of impact incident on the protective headgear. The impact absorbing materials can employ cylindrical segments of viscoelastic foam with a sealed central void to absorb high energy impacts. The protective helmet can reduce the occurrence of concussions and subconcussive impacts to the brain.
