Abstract: A damper with a vehicle height adjusting function comprising a cylindrical case (12) vertically movably installed outside the damper body (1) of an inverted damper and connected to a damper rod (2), a pressure chamber (13) defined between the damper body (1) and the case (12) and having sealed therein a pressure medium having a low boiling point to undergo gas-liquid change, a heater disposed in the pressure chamber (13) for heating and vaporizing the pressure medium to raise the vehicle height by the vapor pressure of the pressure medium, wherein the heater is adapted for easy mounting and dismounting to improve the maintainability and the effect of the presence of the heater on the suspension stroke is reduced. The heater is formed in a bar shape, and this bar heater (16) is inserted horizontally into the bottom of the pressure chamber (13) through a mouth ring (12d) installed in the case (12), the tail end of the bar heater (16) being threadedly connected to the mouth ring (12d).

Abstract: A suspension system can include an air spring, an air reservoir external to the air spring, and a flow control device which variably restricts flow of air between the air spring and the air reservoir. Flow between the air spring and the air reservoir may be permitted in response to compliance of the suspension system, and the air spring can have an internal air volume at least 2½ times as great as a volume of the air reservoir. The flow control device may permit flow between the air spring and the air reservoir in response to a predetermined pressure differential level across the flow control device. Multiple air reservoirs can be internal to an axle, and can be isolated from each other in the axle.

Abstract: An air suspension system includes an air spring having an air cell and a piston. Preferably, the air cell tightly conforms to the piston and has a frustro-conical tapered configuration. By providing a tight conformal fit between the piston and the air cell, and by expanding the diameter of the air cell therefrom, the likelihood that the air cell will invert is substantially decreased. Similarly, when the air cell is deflated the taper facilitates the air cell obtaining the original rolled or deflated position. In another embodiment, the damper slows the extension of the longitudinal member to provide more time for an anti-vacuum system to equalize the pressure within the air cell.

Abstract: A vehicle suspension includes a mount assembly for a gas strut. The mount system includes a resilient bushing supported upon an annular carrier. A rigid annular member is mounted within an inner diameter of the resilient bushing. The resilient bushing, the annular carrier, and the annular member are symmetrical about an equator. The resilient bushing, the annular carrier, and the annular member are of a two-piece structure which are mirror images when reflected through the equator. The two-piece structure allows rapid assembly, simplification of manufacture, and assembly into the vehicle structure. Another mount system includes a one-piece resilient bushing having a cylindrical annular carrier.
