Abstract:
1. An interconnecting strut with two coaxially arranged strut elements which may be displaced relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the interconnecting strut, two end stops defining the mutual displaceability of the two strut elements, as well as damping means for damping the displacement movement of the strut elements when a specific permissible displacement is exceeded before reaching the end stops, the damping means comprising a plastically deformable material, the damping means being compressible in the longitudinal direction for damping the displacement movement and when compressed being subjected to a cross-sectional enlargement radially inwardly and radially outwardly transversely to the longitudinal direction, the damping means comprise a common damping element for tractive and compressive forces acting on the interconnecting strut when the permissible displacement is exceeded.
