Abstract

1,034,471. Pneumatic springs. SUMITOMO METAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Jan. 2, 1963 [Jan. 13, 1962 (2); July 20, 1962; Sept. 10, 1962; Sept. 25, 1962], No. 324/63. Heading F2S. In an air spring in which a restoring force in a lateral direction is obtained aerodynamically thin flexible membranes 3, 3, Fig. 1 (not shown), having low elongation, bending, and shearing stiffness are secured to inner and outer cylinders 1, 2 in the annular space therebetween to form a gas-tight bellows into which gas is charged. During relative vertical displacement of the cylinders 1, 2 the volume of the bellows 3, 3 does not change so that the arrangement, in this case, does not act as a spring. After lateral displacement of the cylinders, Fig. 3 (not shown), the larger pressure area d, d provides a restoring force until the pressure surfaces d, d and e, e are equal. According to the invention as shown in Fig. 7a a notch 32<SP>1</SP> is provided in the outer cylinder 32 to prevent tangential slip of the flexible bellows, alternatively elastic members may be interposed between the cylinders and the bellows, Figs. 9a-9d (not shown).
