摘要：An end member assembly dimensioned for securement to an associated flexible spring member of an associated gas spring assembly. The end member assembly can include a base wall and a mounting wall disposed in axially-spaced relation to the base wall. A compliant support structure is disposed between the base and mounting walls. The compliant support structure includes at least one compliant element that includes a compliant element body and one or more reinforcing plies at least partially embedded within the compliant element body. Rigid elements can be disposed between adjacent compliant elements if two or more compliant elements are included. A gas spring assembly and a method of manufacture can include one or more of such end member assemblies.

主权项：1. An end member assembly dimensioned for securement to an associated end of an associated flexible spring member of an associated gas spring assembly, said end member assembly comprising: a base plate including a base plate wall formed from a substantially rigid material and dimensioned for securement to an associated structural component; a mounting plate disposed in spaced relation to one another such that an end member axis extends longitudinally therebetween, said mounting plate including a mounting plate wall formed from a substantially rigid material and dimensioned for securement to an associated end of the associated spring member; and, a compliant support structure secured between said base plate and said mounting plate, said compliant support structure including a compliant element having a body at least partially formed from a compliant material and at least one reinforcing ply at least partially embedded within said body.
