Patent number: 11566679Abstract: A bumper cap for a damper, the damper including an outer tube with a tube end. A rod extending through the tube end. The damper including a damping fluid, such as a hydraulic oil, that is movable within the damper in response to movement of the rod to provide a damping effect. The bumper cap has a cup shaped body having a side wall and a base, the side wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface having a dimension that is sized to be press fit over the outer tube. The base of the bumper cap has a through hole in the base, the through hole configured to have the rod pass therethrough. The base has at least one fluid passage extending away from the through hole that is in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir in the side wall.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: DRiV Automotive Inc.Inventors: Tomasz Görski, Grzegorz Franciszek Burzawa

Patent number: 11149814Abstract: A cover system for a damper includes an outer tube and a piston rod extending from an end of the outer tube. The cover system also includes a dust tube disposed around a portion of the outer tube. The dust tube includes a first end located proximal to the end of the outer tube and a second end opposite to the first end. The dust tube at least partially encloses the piston rod. The cover system further includes a cap connected to the outer tube. The cap is adapted to at least partially cover the first end of the dust tube.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Tenneco Automotive Operating Company Inc.Inventors: Lukasz Wichary, Grzegorz Tomczuk, Tomasz Gorski

Patent number: 10816055Abstract: A damper bumper cap for covering the rod side end of the damper tube containing a piston rod seal and for retaining a dust cover on the damper tube. The cap includes a side wall positioned in contact with the damper tube, an end wall that extends radially inwardly over the piston rod seal, and an annular skirt that is spaced radially outward of the side wall. First and second groups of connection wall segments extend radially between the side wall and the annular skirt at different heights to define vent openings in the spaces between the connection wall segments in the first and second groups of connection wall segments. The vent openings thus provide a plurality of tortuous airflow paths through the cap at circumferentially spaced locations.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Tenneco Automotive Operating Company Inc.Inventors: Tomasz Górski, Sebastian Kostelecki

Patent number: 9873303Abstract: A strut-type damper is disclosed. The damper has a shock absorber having a housing with a telescoping piston rod, a coil spring, an upper spring seat operably coupled to a distal end of the piston rod, and a lower spring seat operatively coupled to the housing. The upper and lower spring seats capture the coil spring therebetween. The lower spring seat has a base portion having an opening for receiving the housing and is fixedly securable to the housing. A generally circumferential wall portion extends from the base portion and forms a catcher for catching a broken portion of the coil spring if the coil spring fractures. An impact absorbing structure is formed on the lower spring seat adjacent both of the catcher and the base portion, and is configured to be crushed in the event of a fracture of the coil spring.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: Tenneco Automotive Operating Company Inc.Inventors: Sven Broeckx, Tomasz Górski, Julien Wilkin, Jan Wójtowicz
