A method of manufacturing a gas cylinder according to an embodiment of the present invention may include applying a sealant to at least a portion of inner surface of a hollow spindle; inserting a cylinder assembly contacting the inner surface of the spindle through an inlet of the spindle and forming a sealant film on an inner surface of the spindle by frictionally applying the sealant to the inner surface of the spindle; and hardening the sealant film to form a cured film cylinder in contact with the inner surface of the spindle.

The present invention relates to a variable load hydraulic control device comprising an inner tube able to be coupled to an upper tubular head to form an internal chamber and an external chamber, in addition to an inner casing, a floating piston, able to slide between the inner tube and the inner casing, a retaining ring, an upper spring, located between the floating piston and an extension of a washer located inside the upper tubular head, a lower spring, located between the floating piston and an extension of the inner casing, a control surface, a leak opening to communicate the external chamber and the internal chamber, wherein the static load of the hydraulic control device determines the position of the floating piston and the section of passage through the leak opening.

A gas cylinder includes: a base tube including a cavity; a spindle inserted into the cavity and performing a reciprocating motion in a longitudinal direction of the base tube; a cylinder mounted in the spindle and charged with gas; a piston dividing the cylinder into an upper chamber and a lower chamber; a valve portion sealing an upper portion of the cylinder and including a pipe holder having a cavity through which the gas is introduced; a flow prevention portion inserted into the spindle and having an inner surface contacting a surface of the spindle; and a spindle guide disposed between the base tube and the spindle and mounted to include at least a portion of the flow prevention portion.

A method and apparatus for a damper. The damper comprises a fluid chamber having a piston dividing the chamber into a compression and rebound sides, a reservoir in fluid communication with the compression side of the chamber, and an isolator disposed between the compression side and the reservoir, whereby the isolator obstructs fluid flow between the compression side and the reservoir. In one embodiment, a bypass provides a fluid path between the compression side and the isolator.

A shock absorber is provided that includes a shock body and a shaft assembly. The shock body has an inner chamber. The inner chamber is defined by a cylindrical interior surface. At least one groove is formed in the interior surface within at least one select length of the shock body. A piston of the shaft assembly is received within the inner chamber of the shock body. The piston includes valving to allow dampening matter that is received within the inner chamber to pass through the piston to allow the piston to move within the inner chamber. The at least one groove that is formed within the interior surface is configured to allow at least some of the dampening matter to bypass the valving of the piston to allow the piston to move through the at least one select length with less resistance.

A damper assembly includes a rod elongated along an axis. The damper assembly includes a body supported by the rod, the body having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The body and the rod define a passage between the body and the rod, the passage extending from the first surface of the body to the second surface of the body.

A damper assembly includes a pressure tube defining a chamber. The damper assembly includes a body supported by the pressure tube. The body has a first surface and a second surface opposite and spaced from the first surface along an axis. The body defines a passage extending from the first surface to the second surface. The damper assembly includes an orifice disc movable from an unflexed position to a first flexed position and movable from the first flexed position to a second flexed position. The orifice disc in the unflexed position is spaced from the first surface radially outward and radially inward of the passage. The orifice disc in the first flexed position is spaced from the first surface radially outward of the passage and abuts the first surface radially inward of the passage. The orifice disc in the second flexed position abuts the first surface radially outward and radially inward of the passage.

The disclosure relates to the field of vehicle energy recovery devices, and particularly discloses a vehicle shock absorber capable of generating electricity which includes a shock absorber body, a piston rod and a bearing spring. The shock absorber body includes an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, and an oil storage chamber communicated with an inner cavity of the inner cylinder is formed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. Both ends of the bearing spring are respectively connected to an upper end of the piston rod and the outer cylinder. A bottom end of the piston rod is connected to a piston in sliding fit with the inner cylinder, and a coil is sealedly disposed in the piston. Opposite sides inside the oil storage chamber are each provided with a permanent magnet with an opposite magnetic pole, and the coil is connected to an electrode lead.

An apparatus for stabilizing movements of two parts of a body region and/or of a sports device which are movable relative to one another, comprising a receptacle, which can be fixed to a first part of the region and/or device. An active body arrangement with an active body is received movably in the receptacle and can interact with the filling medium. A force transmission body can be fixed to a second part of the same region and/or device for transmitting an external force to the active body. The active body comprises at least one through-opening through which a filling medium in the receptacle can flow. The active body arrangement has a sealing lip for sealing a gap between an inner side of the receptacle and a lateral region of an outer side of the active body arrangement, the sealing lip being arranged on an outer side of the active body.

A device for stabilizing movements of two parts of a human body region and/or of a sports appliance which are movable relative to each other is provided, the device comprising a receptacle, which is fixable on a first part of a human body region and/or of a sports appliance, wherein the receptacle is filled with a filling medium, and wherein the receptacle comprises a receptacle opening; an interaction element fixable on a second part of the same human body region and/or of the same sports appliance, which is at least partially accommodated displaceably in the receptacle and extends through the receptacle opening, wherein the part of the interaction element that is located in the receptacle is in contact with the filling medium.
