Abstract

A pneumatic suspension element of the piston-and-cylinder type in which the escape of compressed gas from the cylinder cavity is prevented by a liquid in a portion of the cylinder cavity through which the piston rod passes. The compressed gas and liquid are introduced into the cylinder cavity through resiliently sealed gaps about the piston rod and/or through a porous partition separating the liquid-filled cavity portion from the gas-filled portion.
