The disclosure relates to an air spring for a vehicle and a vehicle. The disclosure aims to solve the problems of, in an existing air spring for a vehicle, a poor filtering effect and frequent replacement of a filter screen. To this end, an air spring for a vehicle according to the disclosure comprises a dust-proof shade, an inner core and a bladder, wherein the inner core is in the shape of an upwardly open barrel, the dust-proof shade surrounds an outer side of a sidewall of the inner core, the dust-proof shade encloses a chamber with the sidewall of the inner core, and the bladder is arranged inside the chamber; and the sidewall of the inner core is provided with a first breathing hole and a second breathing hole, an inner side of the inner core is in communication with the outside through the first breathing hole, the inner side of the inner core is in communication with the chamber through the second breathing hole, and the first breathing hole and the second breathing hole are both arranged away from a bottom portion of the inner core. The dust and sand is prevented from entering the chamber together with the air, the filtering effect is improved, the bladder arranged inside the chamber is protected from being damaged, and the service life of air spring is increased.

An air spring assembly including sliding joint providing a gaiter sliding upward or downward as a vehicle displaces the air spring assembly. The air sprig assembly includes a damper, a piston connected to the damper, a gaiter surrounding the piston and a portion of the damper, and a dampening ring connected to the gaiter.

Providing a sealing member which can successfully scrape off foreign substances and prevent failure caused by incorporation of foreign substances. A dust seal serving as a sealing member includes a dust seal body and a lip member. The dust seal body has a predetermined elasticity and is retained in an opening of an outer tube into which an inner tube reciprocated in a projected state is inserted. The lip member is harder than the dust seal body and is attached to a distal end of the dust seal body. The lip member has a distal end which is brought into sliding contact with an outer peripheral surface of the inner tube.

A damping force generation device for a vehicle includes a shock absorber including a cylinder and a piston. The shock absorber is coupled to a vehicle body, a wheel carrier, and the like at a rod part of the piston and the cylinder, respectively, and is configured to generate a damping force due to a flow resistance when oil passes through an orifice formed in the piston. Each of self-discharge type charge eliminators is fixed to a surface of a specific member being at least one of a component of the shock absorber or an auxiliary member connected to the component. The charge eliminator reduces positive electric charge that is charged to the specific member, to thereby reduce a charge amount of the oil.

The endurance of a bump stopper cap is improved by preventing a clearance from being generated between a back face of a top board portion of the bump stopper cap and a nib surface of a cylinder main body. A non-interference region in which a rib is not formed is disposed on the top side of a circular-cylinder portion of the bump stopper cap, and an interference region where the rib is formed is disposed on the opening side from this non-interference region. Since the non-interference region can be deformed freely in association with the deformation of the interference region when the bump stopper cap is pressed fit at the nib of the cylinder main body, a seating surface which is the back face of the top board portion can be properly seated on the nib surface of the cylinder main body.

The invention relates to an article comprising a main body (6, 7, 8) that consists of a polymer material having elastic properties, particularly an air spring bellows (2), a metal-rubber element or a vibration damper. In order for fire-retardant properties to be improved, the article is provided, partially or fully, with a cover (9) formed from at least one flat textile structure and/or at least one three-dimensional textile structure and/or at least one shrink film. The cover can be fire-retardant itself or can be equipped to be fire-retardant.
