Abstract:
A shock absorber for toy vehicles, which comprises(a) a tubular sleeve element having a sleeve axis, an open end, and a second end remote from said open end,(b) a strut element having an inner end portion slidably received within said tubular sleeve element for guided telescopic movement therein and having an outer end portion projecting beyond said tubular sleeve element at said open end thereof,(c) said tubular sleeve element being formed internally with a first internal portion having a first diameter at least as large as a diameter of said strut inner end portion, and a second internal portion adjoining said first portion at said second end thereof,(d) said second internal portion forming a progressive constriction in a direction away from said open end,(e) the inner end portion of said strut having resiliently displaceable elements slidably received within said first internal portion and slidably movable into said second internal portion when said strut element is telescopically displaced axially within said tubular sleeve element in a first direction toward said second end,(f) said resiliently displaceable elements being progressively displaced radially inwardly toward said axis by said progressive constriction upon axial displacement of said strut element in said first direction, to elastically arrest such axial displacement.
