Abstract: A closure package for a vibration damper may include a base body that is connectable to a damper tube and comprises a first end and a second end. The first end forms an end side of the damper tube and the second end is disposed in the damper tube. A seal for sealing a piston rod may be disposed in the base body. A seal holder may be disposed between the seal and the base body at the first end. The seal holder for axially fixing the seal may be connected to the base body in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner. The seal holder may be fusible in an emergency. For releasing the connection to the base body, the seal holder may be thermoplastically deformable upon overheating of the vibration damper.

Abstract: A reinforced nonwoven metal fabric is disclosed. A mass of loose metal fibers is processed through suitable textile apparatus to result in a metal fiber web, which is then lapped to form a multi-layered structure. This structure is then formed into a metal fabric via needle-punching. A suitable backing is then introduced during or after the needle-punch process, resulting in a reinforced nonwoven metal fabric having superior strength and durability.
