Abstract
A hydraulic dashpot or shock absorber for motor vehicles. It comprises a cylinder and a piston. The cylinder contains fluid. The piston travels back and forth inside the cylinder on the end of a piston rod. The rod extends through a package of gaskets that maintains it aligned and seals the cylinder. The rod is attached to the vehicle body or wheel assembly by a projecting-bolt joint. The joint (5) includes resiliently yielding components that suppress impact and vibration by way of an automatic snap-together attachment to the vehicle body or wheel assembly. The projecting-bolt joint (5) is provided with at least one spring (6). The spring snaps into a matching (bent) rigid part of the vehicle body or wheel assembly. Spacers are associated with the resiliently yielding components that suppress impact and vibration. The spacers restrict their deformation once they have been installed.
