| 20110037208 | GAS SPRING WITH SPEED CONTROL FUNCTION - In a gas spring which includes a cylinder member slide-engaged in upward and downward directions in the interior of an outer body, an inner pipe which is engaged to an inner wall of the cylinder member and forms a gas flow path in upward and downward directions between itself and the inner wall of the same, a valve member which is provided in the upper sides of the cylinder member and the inner pipe and includes a gas guide flow path for controlling the flow of gas via the gas flow path depending on an operation of a valve pin, and a piston rod of which a head part is air-tightly slide-engaged in the interior of the inner pipe, and a rod part is vertically rotatably engaged to a bottom of the outer body, there is provided a gas spring with a speed control function which comprises a speed control guider disposed between a head part provided on an upper side of the piston rod and the valve member for thereby controlling the flow of a gas via a gas flow path when the cylinder member is lowered, which leads to controlling a lowering speed. The present invention is basically directed to allowing a user to sit on a chair without feeling an impact which might occur due to the lowering of a seat plate of a chair with a gas spring adapted to control the height of a chair. | 02-17-2011 |
