  • Patent number: 11255402
    Abstract: A spring element for a vehicle shock absorber. The spring element includes a longitudinal axis and a basic body that extends along the longitudinal axis and is deformable resiliently between an uncompressed basic state and a state compressed in the direction of a longitudinal axis, and which includes an end side with a stop surface configured for contact against a damper cap of the vehicle shock absorber. The stop surface is at least partially structured. A passenger motor vehicle car can include such a spring element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10920843
    Abstract: A spring element includes a longitudinal axis, a main body that extends along the longitudinal axis and which can be elastically deformed between an uncompressed base state and a state in which the main body is compressed in the direction of the longitudinal axis, a groove extending peripherally on the outside of the main body, and a supporting ring arranged in the groove. A plurality of cut-outs is formed between the supporting ring and the main body in the groove in the base state of the main body. A vehicle shock absorber and a vehicle can use the spring element.

  • Publication number: 20120193852
    Abstract: A damper bearing (10) comprising a substantially hollow cylindrical damping element (20, 22, 24, 26), based on cellular polyisocyanate polyaddition products, and an insert (30), which is at least partially enclosed by the damping element (20, 22, 24, 26) in the radial direction and axial direction, wherein the insert (30) has, on at least one axial face connected to the damping element (20, 22, 24), a profile (32) with depressions and/or elevations.
