Abstract
A supporting ring for an air-suspension strut. In embodiments, a support ring has a central longitudinal axis and includes a wall. In a radially inward direction, the wall has or forms an internal-abutment geometry that projects in the radial direction, and/or, in a radially outward direction, the wall has or forms an external-abutment geometry that projects in the radial direction.
Claims14
A supporting ring for an air-suspension strut, comprising:
- a central longitudinal axis;
- and
- a wall;
- wherein, in a radially inward direction, the wall has or forms internal ribs or internal inwardly curved portions that project in a radial direction, and, in a radially outward direction, the wall has or forms external ribs that project in the radial direction;
- wherein respective internal ribs or internal inwardly curved portions are in alignment in the radial direction with corresponding external ribs, or the respective internal ribs or internal inwardly curved portions are offset equidistantly in a circumferential direction in relation to the corresponding external ribs;
- wherein both the internal ribs or internal inwardly curved portions and the external ribs run in an axial direction;
- and a number of internal ribs or internal inwardly curved portions is equal to a number of external ribs.
