  • Patent number: 6202972
    Abstract: An improved seat suspension system including, in combination, an air spring and shock absorber, which comprise an air spring member and a shock absorber member, respectively. The air spring member and shock absorber member are longitudinally coupled to provide support and damping along a longitudinal axis. The air spring member and shock absorber member are coupled in a manner that enables them to be readily separated and independently serviced. A seat suspension also comprises a seat moveably coupled to a seat base that has a support structure. The combination air spring and shock absorber is interposed between the seat and the seat base to govern relative motion between the seat and the seat base. The combination air spring and shock absorber is rotationally coupled at each end to allow angular motion between the longitudinal axis of the combination air spring and shock absorber and the centerline of the seat.
