Patent ID: 7703754

Claim:
A limit stop with an elastomer resilient element ( 1 ) to be secured on a door or lid and/or on an opposing stationary vehicle section for damping forces generated when the door or lid strikes stationary chassis parts of a motor vehicle, wherein the limit stop includes an additional damping section ( 2 ) disposed adjacent to and cooperating with the resilient element ( 1 ) in a spring deflection direction of the resilient element ( 1 ), wherein the damping section ( 2 ) comprises at least two chambers ( 4 , 5 ) filled with a fluid and a nozzle plate ( 6 ) arranged between chambers ( 4 , 5 ) with at least one channel extending through the nozzle plate and connecting the chambers ( 4 , 5 ), wherein the fluid is displaced from one of the at least two chambers into the other of the at least two chamber during a spring deflection of the elastomer resilient element ( 1 ), thereby producing a pressure force which is caused by the buildup in pressure when the volume of one of the chambers ( 4 ) decreases and augments the return force of the resilient element ( 1 ), an inner core ( 3 ) protruding into the elastomer resilient element ( 1 ), but not protruding into any of the at least two chambers ( 4 , 5 ), wherein a height of the inner core ( 3 ), by which it protrudes into the elastomer resilient element ( 1 ), is adjustable, so that tolerances of the chassis parts can be compensated and gap dimensions between the door or lid and the stationary chassis parts can be adjusted, a stop face ( 8 ) and an upper receiving body ( 9 ) which receives the inner core ( 3 ) and the elastomer resilient element ( 1 ) which partially surrounds the inner core ( 3 ), wherein the combination of stop face ( 8 ) and upper receiving body ( 9 ) form a support body, which is assembled or connected as a single piece with a lower receiving body ( 10 ) receiving the nozzle plate ( 6 ) and an equalizing bellow ( 11 ), wherein the chambers ( 4 , 5 ) adapted to receive a viscous fluid are formed above and below the nozzle plate ( 6 ) and are connected by a channel ( 7 ) which operates as a nozzle.
