Abstract: L'invention concerne un joint monobloc à utiliser dans un assemblage de joint de ressort à gaz (128). Ce joint monobloc comprend une garniture thermoplastique rigide (130) présentant une couche d'étanchéité élastomère (132) entourant la garniture et collée à cet insert. La garniture fournit de la rigidité au joint et comprend une ouverture centrale et axiale (136) recevant et guidant une tige (24) engagée coulissante dans la garniture. La couche d'étanchéité s'engage dans la surface intérieure (13a) du cylindre à ressort à gaz (12) pour empêcher que le gaz pressurisé contenu à l'intérieur du ressort à gaz ne s'échappe autour de joint. La couche d'étanchéité comprend également une ouverture centrale et axiale alignée avec le passage effectué dans la garniture, s'emboîtant coulissant avec la tige, et permet également d'éviter que le gaz ne s'échappe du cylindre à ressort à gaz. Le joint monobloc peut être formé par le biais d'un procédé comportant une étape unique ou deux étapes. Dans le procédé à étape unique, la garniture et la couche d'étanchéité sont formées par des procédés de moulage par injection dans un moule unique, et sont collées l'une à l'autre par le biais d'un procédé de covulcanisation ultérieur. Dans le procédé à deux étapes, la garniture est formée dans une première étape de moulage par injection, et un promoteur d'adhésion est appliqué sur l'extérieur de la garniture. Une fois ce promoteur appliqué sur la garniture, la garniture est placée à l'intérieur d'un second moule utilisé pour former la couche d'étanchéité entourant la garniture dans un procédé de moulage par injection ultérieure. Le promoteur d'adhésion permet de coller étroitement la couche d'étanchéité à la garniture pour former un joint monobloc.
