Abstract
An arrangement forms part of a shock absorber (1) and is intended to produce distinct longitudinal displacements of an element (7) in response to longitudinal displacements of a screw (15). The displacement directions of the screw and the element diverge and the displacement of the element is designed to occur against the action of a force (14) on the element. The screw is designed with a tapered or inclined surface (17) and the element, or a part related thereto, is pressed against the surface by the said force (14). Interacting sections of the surface and the element, or the part, are designed with structures that produce the said distinct longitudinal displacement positions of the element when acted upon by the member. In this way the element actuation function and that of producing the distinct positions can be incorporated into a relatively simple and compact construction.
