ABSTRACT:
A shock absorber including a casing housing an elongated elastomeric member within a chamber, the elastomeric member being distorted from its original cylindrical shape into an undulating shape by being held between a piston and an end wall of the chamber, the undulating shape causing substantial axially extending axially spaced portions to be maintained in frictional engagement with the walls of the casing, said frictional engagement providing a damping force as the piston enters the chamber to further distort the elastomeric member. A shock absorber of the general type set forth above wherein a plurality of helically intertwined elongated elastomeric members are located within the casing, rather than a single elongated elastomeric member.
