Abstract
An air spring having a sleeve-like flexible member made of elastomeric material. A beadless end portion of the flexible member is attached to a mount by being clamped between the mount and a clamping piece. The mount and the clamping piece have conical clamping faces which coact to provide a reliable attachment which is easy to assemble. The conical clamping piece is arranged so as to be axially displaceable in the mount to conjointly define a clamping gap with the mount. The clamping piece closes the clear cross section of the end portion of the flexible member in an airtight manner.
