A spring leg with load proportional limited damping for use on a vehicle, includes a telescoping shock absorber including a piston and cylinder and a load bearing air suspension connected to a gas pressure system and having the walls surrounding the air space thereof comprising an elastic jacket and two rigid walls fixed to the body and the axle gear of the vehicle wherein the binding units of the shock absorber are partly arranged in the air space of the air suspension. An auxiliary diaphragm has an inner rim fixed to the cylinder of the shock absorber and an outer rim fixed to one of the two rigid walls of the air suspension to define the auxiliary diaphragm as one of the bordering walls, of the air space of the air suspension. A pilot ring limits the outward movement of the cylinder of the telescopic hydraulic shock absorber from the air space of the air suspension and is fixed to the rigid wall bearing the outer rim of the auxiliary diaphragm. A bearing ring is arranged on the cylinder of the shock absorber with the piston rod of the shock absorber and is fixed to the other rigid wall of the air suspension.
In a spring leg with load proportional limited damping for use on a vehicle, including a telescoping shock absorber including a piston and cylinder and a load bearing air suspension connected to a gas pressure system and having walls surrounding the air space thereof comprising two rigid walls fixed to the body and the axle of the vehicle and an elastic jacket connected to the two rigid walls, the improvement comprising means mounting the cylinder for movement relative to one of the two rigid walls comprising an auxiliary diaphragm having an inner rim fixed to the cylinder of the shock absorber and an outer rim fixed to said one of the two rigid walls of the air suspension to define the auxiliary diaphragm as one of the bordering walls of the air space of the air suspension, means for limiting the outward movement of the cylinder of the shock absorber from the air space of the air suspension, the limiting means comprising a pilot bushing fixed to the one rigid wall bearing the outer rim of the auxiliary diaphragm and wherein the piston rod of the shock absorber is fixed to the other rigid wall of the air suspension, wherein both the elastic jacket of the air spring and the auxiliary diaphragm comprise rolling diaphragms and the one rigid wall has fixing elements connected to the axle and a stop collar for the shock absorber and wherein the outer rim of the auxiliary diaphragm is sealingly fixed to the one rigid wall of the air suspension and in which there is a slot bearing elastic stopping rings which encircle the stop collar of the shock absorber and limit the displacement of the shock absorber cylinder and wherein the shock absorber cylinder has a rim including a channel which connects the air spaces divided by the rim of the air suspension cylinder.
In a spring leg with load proportional limited damping for use on a vehicle, including a one-way telescoping shock absorber including a piston and cylinder and a load bearing air spring connected to a gas pressure system and having walls surrounding the air space thereof comprising two rigid walls fixed to the body and the axle of the vehicle and an elastic jacket connected to the two rigid walls, the improvement comprising means mounting the cylinder for movement relative to one of the two rigid walls comprising an auxiliary diaphragm having an inner rim fixed to the cylinder of the shock absorber and an outer rim fixed to said one of the two rigid walls of the air spring to define the auxiliary diaphragm as one of the bordering walls of the air space of the air spring, means for limiting the outward movement of the cylinder of the shock absorber from the air space of the air spring, the limiting means comprising a stop fixed to the cylinder of the shock absorber and a first counter stop fixed to the one rigid wall bearing the outer rim of the auxiliary diaphragm, means for limiting the inward movement of the cylinder of the shock absorber into the air space of the air spring relative to the one rigid wall sealingly bearing the outer rim of the auxiliary diaphragm, comprising said stop and a second counter stop fixed to said one rigid wall and wherein the piston rod of the shock absorber is fixed to the other rigid wall of the air spring.
