ABSTRACT:
A liquid spring unit operable in both tension and compression including a cylinder, compressible liquid in the cylinder, a piston and a seal for the piston, a first sleeve mounted for telescopic movement with respect to the cylinder, a collapsible housing consisting of a second sleeve mounted about the first sleeve and a third sleeve mounted on the second sleeve, a first attachment member mounted relative to the first sleeve for attachment to a first external member, a second attachment member on the third sleeve for attachment to a second external member, a stop for preventing the second and third sleeves from extending beyond a predetermined length when tension forces are applied to the first and second attachment members, a slidable connection between the second and third sleeves for permitting the housing to collapse when compressive forces are applied to the first and second attachment members, and a connection between the piston and the housing for driving the piston into the cylinder when both tension and compression forces are applied to the unit.
