Patent ID: 7950321

Claim:
A hydraulic system comprising: a master cylinder having a housing, a piston axially movably disposed in the housing, and a piston rod, the piston bounding a pressure chamber filled with a hydraulic fluid, the piston upon actuation of the master cylinder being axially moved by the piston rod to pressurize the hydraulic fluid; an actuating device for moving the piston rod, the piston rod extending past the housing in a direction of the actuating device; a connecting piece for direct connection to the actuating device; a slave cylinder; a pressure-medium line connecting the master cylinder and slave cylinder; wherein the piston rod connects to at least one damping element arranged between the piston rod and the connecting piece, wherein the piston rod, the damping element and the connecting piece are axially aligned, the damping element including a damping cushion, a first damper element connected to the connecting piece and a second damper element connected to the piston rod; wherein the first damper element being axially movable relative to the second damper element; the first damper element including a cup-shaped section with an open end and the second damper element including a disk shaped region closing the open end; the first damper element having an undercut at the open end, the undercut allowing the first damper element to be clipped over the second damper element, the undercut forming a stop for the second damper element, wherein the first damper element includes the cup-shaped section encompassing the damping cushion and a further region supporting the connecting piece, wherein the piston rod has a pin which extends at least partially into a bore of the further region.
