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 24):
A gas spring assembly comprising:\n a flexible spring member having a longitudinal axis and including a flexible wall extending peripherally about said longitudinal axis to at least partially define a spring chamber, said flexible wall extending between a first end and a second end spaced longitudinally from said first end, and said flexible wall including an end wall portion disposed along at least one of said first and second ends and terminating at a flexible wall edge; a first end member secured along said first end of said flexible spring member such that a substantially fluid-tight seal is formed therebetween; a second end member according to  claim 1 , said second end member secured along said second end of said flexible spring member such that a substantially fluid-tight seal is formed therebetween; and, a retaining ring extending peripherally about said axis and in abutting engagement with said end wall portion of said flexible wall such that said end wall portion of said flexible wall is biased into engagement with at least a longitudinal section of said securement wall portion of said second end member.
