Abstract
The damper includes a cylindrical housing with a cylindrical passageway formed therewithin. A piston traverses the cylindrical passageway. A strand element is integrally molded with the piston on a first end and integrally molded with an attachment element on a second end. The portion of the cylindrical passageway through which the piston traverses when the damper is in its retracted position has a reduced diameter.

7. A damper including:
-
a housing with a cylindrical passageway formed therewithin, further including an aperture in said housing leading to said cylindrical passageway;
a piston traversing said cylindrical passageway; and
a strand element including a first end and a second end, said first end integrally formed with said piston and said second end integrally formed with an attachment element, said strand element reciprocatingly passing through said aperture;
wherein said piston traverses a first portion of said cylindrical passageway when said strand element is in a relatively retracted position and said piston traverses a second portion of said cylindrical passageway when said strand element is in a relatively extended position, and wherein a diameter of said first portion of said cylindrical passageway is reduced from a diameter of said second portion of said cylindrical passageway. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
