Device for mounting gas spring for opening automobile hatch door

Abstract

A device for mounting a gas spring for opening the hatch door or the like of an automobile which is produced by helically winding one elastic wire is described. The gas spring mounting device includes a mounting end, which is helically wound with the same pitch as the diameter of the wire for rotatable fitting onto a bolt anchored at either the door mounting base of the car or the door itself; a flexible portion, which is helically wound with a slightly larger pitch than the diameter of the wire and having an axis at a right angle with respect to the axis of said mounting end; and a gas spring connecting portion which is wound with the same pitch as the diameter of the wire for connection to a thread formed in the end portion of the gas spring. Since the described gas spring mounting device is made of the single wire, it can be produced at lower cost.
