  • Patent number: 5938238
    Abstract: Pneumatic lift control devices for use in progressively controlling the amount of front end lift of an automobile during acceleration comprise a housing having an annular chamber disposed therein. A piston is slidable disposed axially within the annular chamber. Means are provided for retaining the piston within the annular chamber. A pressure-tight seal is formed between the piston and the annular chamber to enable pneumatic pressurizing of the claimer, and to prevent pressure loss from the chamber during slidable movement of the piston. A snubber is disposed within the annular chamber between the piston and a portion of the housing to resist axial displacement of the piston within the chamber. The snubber is formed from an elastically deformable material that, with the pressurized chamber, provides a progressive resistance to piston axial displacement.
