End member assemblies as well as gas spring assemblies including same

Abstract

An end member assembly (EMI) with a longitudinal axis is securable to a flexible spring member (400). The end member assembly (EMI) has first and second ends. The end member assembly (EMI) includes first end member component (500) with a first component wall (502) includes an end wall portion (504) and a side wall portion (506). A second end member component (600) extends peripherally around and is permanently attached to the first end member component (500). The second end member component (600) includes a second component wall (602) with an outer surface portion (604). In some cases, the side wall portion (506) of the first component wall includes a plurality of first annular ribs (524) extending radially outward. The second component wall (602) includes a plurality of second annular ribs (612) extending radially inward. The pluralities of first and second annular ribs (524, 612) are axially interleaved with one another. Gas spring assemblies, gas spring and damper assemblies and methods of assembly are also included.
