ABSTRACT:
A gas spring with an elongate tubular casing having a chamber for containing a gas under pressure therein. The casing has an opening at one end and an annular groove around the outer circumference. A piston rod projects from the casing through the opening and is connected to a piston disposed within the chamber for compressing the gas therein. A mounting sleeve is telescoped over the casing and has exterior threads thereon. The sleeve has an internal annular groove which coincides with the groove in the casing forming a passage between the sleeve and the casing. The sleeve is secured to the casing by a lock ring formed in the passage by injecting a resin into the passage and allowing it to cool and solidify. Holes are formed through the sleeve opening into the passage. Some permit resin to be injected into the passage through the holes and some permit resin to flow from the passage into the holes. The resin material in the holes is trimmed to the radially outer tip of the threads leaving excess resin material between some of the threads. This excess material acts as a thread locking element when the gas spring is installed into a die.
