Patent number: 11707960Abstract: An air suspension strut for a motor vehicle comprises an air spring having an air spring cover and a rolling piston. A shock damper is integrated with the air spring and has a damper tube and a piston rod receivable within the damper tube. A rolling bellows is secured between the spring cover and the rolling piston thereby delimiting a variable volume pressure chamber filled with compressed air. The rolling bellows rolls on the rolling piston with a rolling fold being formed. A damper bearing is accommodated in a bearing socket of the air spring cover and connected to the piston rod. The damper bearing comprises a supporting piece, an elastomer body, and a sleeve. A closure element inserted in the bearing socket above the damper bearing. An elastic element arranged between the sleeve and the closure element.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. OHGInventors: Ralf Pielock, Andreas Nessel

Patent number: 10703158Abstract: Air spring strut for a motor vehicle including an air spring with a shock absorber for spring-cushioning and damping oscillations of a motor vehicle running gear assembly. The air spring includes an air spring cover and an air spring piston. An air spring bellows made of elastomeric material is clamped air-tightly between the air spring cover and the air spring piston partially delimits a working space filled with compressed air and, while forming a rolling fold, rolls on the air spring cover and/or the air spring piston. The air spring cover is embodied in two parts with a first cover part for receiving an absorber bearing and with a second cover part for fastening the air spring bellows. The first cover part is manufactured from metal and the second cover part is manufactured from plastic.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Ralf Pielock, Andreas Nessel, Susanne Tatter, Christian Schallmeier, Garrett Mark Pniewski, Sunny Makkar, Kranti Kiran Manga
