Abstract: Oleo damper including a housing, a movable partition disposed in the housing for dividing the inside chamber of the housing into an oil compartment and a gas compartment, a damping piston disposed in the oil compartment, and a stationary partition disposed in the oil compartment between the piston and the movable partition. The stationary partition has an orifice which is cooperating with a needle carried on the movable partition. The needle has a diameter gradually decreasing toward the movable partition so that the orifice area is decreased as the movable partition is displaced away from the stationary partition.

Abstract: A telescoping springing means for a vehicle, for example a motorcycle or automobile. The springing means comprises a first and a second telescopic member which are coaxial and are intended for attachment to respective relatively movable parts of the vehicle. One of the telescopic members forms an internal fluid-tight chamber which includes a plunger recess. A plunger is attached to the other of the telescopic members, projects into the chamber, and makes a fluid seal therewith. The plunger is adapted to enter the plunger recess to form a first decelerator for deceleration of contraction of the springing means. A pneumatic-hydraulic accumulator has a closed pneumatic section adapted to be filled with a gas under pressure and a hydraulic section filled with liquid. A movable wall separates the sections so as to equalize their pressures. A conduit connects the hydraulic section to the chamber.A second decelerator is provided for deceleration of extension of the springing means.
