Abstract

La présente invention a trait à un amortisseur d'ouverture/de fermeture (40), qui comprend un corps d'amortisseur (41) et une enveloppe (81). Le corps d'amortisseur (40) absorbe l'impact lors de la fermeture d'une ouverture (12) d'une carrosserie de véhicule (11) au moyen d'un corps d'ouverture/de fermeture (13). L'enveloppe (81) recouvre au moins la partie d'extension et de contraction du corps d'amortisseur (41), est un élément élastique qui est en mesure de s'étendre et de se contracter conformément à l'action d'extension et de contraction du corps d'amortisseur (41), et est dotée d'une section de joint d'étanchéité (91) et d'évents (86). La section de joint d'étanchéité (91) est formée dans la section qui entre en contact avec la surface périphérique extérieure (66) du corps d'amortisseur (41), et assure l'étanchéité de l'écart entre la surface périphérique extérieure (66) et l'enveloppe (81). Les évents (86) sont formés dans la surface périphérique extérieure (85) de l'enveloppe (81) et permettent à l'air d'entrer dans l'enveloppe (81) et d'en sortir lorsque l'enveloppe (81) s'étend et se contracte.
