Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0760322A2] Both of the springs (3,3') are tensioned on a link bar (1) between outer bar counter bearings (2,2') and an inner housing counter bearing (5) up to a specific path amplitude. With greater path amplitudes only the one spring is further compressed. The other spring remains in a virtually untensioned state between the housing counter bearing, the displaceable bar counter bearing and the housing stop (8,8'). The link bar, the rod counter bearings, the springs and a closure ring (7) are enclosed by a housing (4), which in its centre is screwed to the housing counter bearing.
