Abstract:
A piston and cylinder type damper is provided, with a cylinder ( 11 ) having a piston assembly ( 15 ) mounted for reciprocal movement therein. The piston assembly ( 15 ) divides the cylinder ( 11 ) into two separate chambers ( 12 a,  12 b), with a restricted flow path ( 30, 31 ) for passage therebetween of damping fluid contained within the cylinder. A piston rod ( 13 ) is mounted for reciprocal movement with respect to the cylinder ( 11 ) and acts via a first one of the chambers ( 12 a) on the piston assembly ( 15 ) in a first direction. A seal assembly ( 17 ) is provided for sealing between the piston rod ( 13 ) and the cylinder ( 11 ) in order to retain damping fluid in the first chamber ( 12 a). The seal assembly ( 17 ) is movable axially with respect to the cylinder ( 11 ), with the cylinder further including a centering device ( 24 ) for assisting alignment of the seal assembly ( 17 ).

Claim (Index 8):
A damper as claimed in  claim 6  wherein said collar is attached to or forms an integral part of the piston assembly.
