- FIG. 3 shows an air spring device 1 according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the embodiment of FIG. 3 differs from that of FIGS. 1 and 2 essentially only with regard to the arrangement of the sealing device 13.
- the sealing device 13 rests on the piston element 3, in particular on an upper side 23 of the piston element 3.
- the upper side 23 of the piston element 3 is preferably the side facing away from the handlebar 2 and the primary volume 1 1 facing side of the piston member to understand, especially the side opposite to a top plate 5 of the air spring device.
- the top 23 is curved or funnel-shaped, in particular the top 23 in the mounted state in the direction of the arm 2 curved or funnel-shaped. Ie.
- the upper side 23 extends obliquely from the outermost circumference of the piston element 3 in the direction of the center in the direction of the link 2.
- the connecting channel 10 is arranged concentrically in the piston element 3, wherein the connecting channel 10 protrudes less far in a direction parallel to the axial direction A.
- the upper side 23 of the piston element 3 extends substantially at 45 ° with respect to the link 2 or with respect to the axial direction A obliquely.
- the Lucasbalgelement 4 is connected via a bead 27 to the upper side 23 of the piston member 3.
- the sealing element 15 is configured such that in the assembled state, the sealing element 15 extends at least partially parallel to the top 23.
- Top 23 realize, which has an advantageous effect on the sealing effect.
- the insertion of the sealing device is simplified because the oblique course of the side wall 22 can serve as a guide.
- recesses 19 or further recesses are provided.
- recesses 19 are provided in the upper side 23 of the piston element 3, in particular in a direction parallel to the axial direction A extending underneath the sealing device 13, in particular below the main body 14.
- the term "below” is preferably to be understood the recess 19 is arranged between the sealing device 13 and the handlebar 2.
- a cavity 51 or a free space is provided, which forms above the piston element 3 or between the piston element and the sealing device Moreover, further recesses 19 'are provided in FIG an outer wall 27 of the piston element 3 is inserted so that an air exchange with the surroundings of the air spring device 1 via the recess 19 and the further recess 19 ' can follow.
- a ratio between an axially measured distance H1 of the further recess 19 'from the link 2 to the total extent H2 of the piston element 3 is between 0.05 and 0.45, preferably between 0.28 and 0.38 and more preferably between 0.32 and 0.35.
- the sealing device 13 is integrated in the stop element 17, in particular on that side which faces the link 2 in the mounted state.
