A suspension device includes a pair of suspensions each containing at least one of a damping mechanism and a suspension spring. A tubular body-side member is on a vehicle body side. A tubular wheel-side member is on a vehicle wheel side and coupled to the body-side member, and moves relative to the body-side member in an axial direction. A hollow cylindrical cylinder is inside of the body-side member and the wheel-side member and includes a weak portion in the axial direction on an outer side. A rod member is inside of the body-side member and the wheel-side member and moves relatively in the axial direction in accordance with movement of the body-side member and the wheel-side member. A first defining member secured to an end portion of the rod member and in contact with the cylinder movably in the axial direction of the cylinder defines space in the cylinder.

WASHING MACHINE FOOT WITH AUTOMATIC LEVELING FUNCTION AND A WASHING MACHINE

A washing machine foot with automatic leveling function comprises: a jacket; an adjusting foot, which is arranged in the jacket and moves axially relative to the jacket; and a flexible assembly, which is arranged in the adjusting foot and is used for accommodating a hydraulic medium; one end of the flexible assembly is mounted in the jacket in a limiting manner, and another end of the flexible assembly is a telescopic end acting on the adjusting foot; and the telescopic end of the flexible assembly extends and contracts under action of the hydraulic medium to drive the adjusting foot to move axially, thereby implementing automatic leveling. According to the hydraulic principle, the washing machine foot is provided with the hydraulic medium, the washing machine feet can automatically adjust adaptively for different pressures due to the fluidity of the hydraulic medium.

Shock absorber configured with a deformable energy absorbing member

A shock absorber includes a first end configured to be mechanically fastened to a first component, a second end configured to be mechanically fastened to a second component, a main body, a main shaft, and a primary piston. The primary piston configured to move within the main body and further configured to provide a first damping force by movement of a fluid through the primary piston while the main shaft moves a first distance. The shock absorber also includes a deformable solid material arranged in the main body. The primary piston configured to further move within the main body and further configured to provide a second damping force by deforming the deformable solid material after the main shaft moves the first distance.

HYDRAULIC DAMPER WITH A HYDRAULIC COMPRESSION STOP ARRANGEMENT
20180223942 · 2018-08-09 ·

A hydraulic damper includes a hydraulic compression stop arrangement having an insert including a bottom and a fixing member including a body. The bottom is attached to the body through a locking connection preventing axial movement of the insert and transferring pressure exerted on the insert to the fixing member and allowing the cavity of the insert to receive the additional piston during the compression stroke to provide an additional damping force. The body includes a locking plate and the bottom includes a locking yoke with the locking yoke being secured to the locking plate to define the locking connection. The fixing member includes a head and the locking plate extends radially outwardly from the head defining a recess extending about the center axis. The locking yoke, having an arcuate shape and an L-shaped cross section, extends axially outwardly from the bottom to engage the recess forming the locking connection.
