Abstract

Intermediate tube for a vibration damper with adjustable damping force, having a tub socket which has an overlap with a valve seat body and forms a hydraulic connection to a switchable bypass valve. Inside the tube socket there is an intermediate ring which is supported by means of a support on at least one opening side of the tube socket and has a greater axial length than the tube socket. This intermediate ring has a region forming a snap fastening to permit the intermediate tube to snap into place with a portion of the tube socket.
