Abstract:
An end member is dimensioned to engage an end of a flexible spring member to at least partially form a gas spring assembly. The end member includes an end member wall that has a longitudinal axis. The end member includes a securement wall portion having an outer surface with a surface profile dimensioned to abuttingly engage the end of the flexible spring member. The surface profile includes a plurality of concave profile sections and a plurality of convex profile sections that are dimensioned to generate a progressively increasing compression force along at least a section of the securement wall portion. A gas spring assembly including such an end member is included. A suspension system including one or more gas spring assemblies and a method of assembly are also included.

Claim (Index 16):
An end member dimensioned to engage an associated flexible spring member of an associated gas spring assembly, said end member including:\n an end member wall having a longitudinal axis and including an end wall portion and a securement wall portion; said end wall portion extending transverse to said axis and including an outer surface dimensioned to abuttingly engage an associated structural component; and, said securement wall portion extending axially from along said end wall portion and having a longitudinal length, said securement wall portion including an outer surface with a surface profile dimensioned to abuttingly engage the associated flexible spring member, said surface profile including at least first, second and third concave profile sections and at least first and second convex profile sections interposed between adjacent ones of said first, second and third concave profile sections, at least said first, second and third concave profile sections of said surface profile being dimensioned to generate a progressively increasing compression force along at least a section of said longitudinal length of said securement wall portion upon application of a retention force applied approximately uniformly along said longitudinal length of said securement wall portion and biasing the associated flexible spring member in a radially-inward direction.
