Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A shock absorber comprising two telescoping sections each including a spring washer for supporting the ends of a helical compression spring made of wire coaxially wound about the shock absorber closely surrounding at least one of said telescoping sections and freely movable relative to it, wherein the wire of the compression spring is provided with roller guide means coaxial with the wire and rotatable about it for protecting said one telescoping section against wear and noise through contact with said compression spring.
