Abstract
A gas spring includes a cylinder, a rod movable relative to the cylinder, and an accumulator. The rod and the cylinder at least partially define a chamber having a variable volume and contain a first pressurized gas. The accumulator is in communication with the chamber and contains a second pressurized gas. The gas spring provides a variable spring rate based on a pressure of the first pressurized gas relative to a threshold pressure.
