| Summary: | A regulable hydraulic dashpot for motor vehicles and including a cylinder (
1
) filled with hydraulic fluid and a piston (
2
) that is attached to the end of a piston rod (
7
), travels back and forth inside the cylinder, and divides it into two chambers (
3
&
4
) that communicate through at least one bypass. The bypass's cross-section can be varied in size by a component that is, preferably continuously, controlled by a motor or magnet. To facilitate adjusting the dashpot, the cross-section varying component is a plate-shaped slide (
23
) provided with one or more breaches (
25
) and traveling from side to side, preferably in a slot (
24
), with its flat surface (
27
) subjected to fluid from each cylinder chamber alternately by way of channels (
14, 15,
&
16
). |
