Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Vibration damper ( 1 ) with an external housing ( 9 ) includes an outer cylinder ( 3 ) with a main axis. The housing ( 9 ) having two receiving spaces ( 13, 15 ) is arranged on an outer lateral surface of the outer cylinder ( 3 ). Each receiving space ( 13, 15 ) has a main axis. The main axis of the outer cylinder ( 3 ) and the main axes of the receiving spaces ( 13, 15 ) are arranged so as to be skew with respect to one another.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A vibration damper comprising: an outer cylinder having a main axis; a housing comprising two separate receiving spaces each having a circular cross section and arranged on an outer lateral surface of said outer cylinder, each of said receiving spaces having a main axis coextensive with a center axis of the circular cross section of the receiving spaces, wherein said main axis of said outer cylinder and said main axes of said receiving spaces are arranged so as to be skew with respect to one another; and wherein said main axes of said receiving spaces are arranged so as to be offset parallel to one another permitting to shorten the housing axially. 2. The vibration damper according to claim 1 , wherein said main axes of said receiving spaces lie in a common plane running parallel to said main axis of said outer cylinder. 3. The vibration damper according to claim 1 , wherein said main axes of said receiving spaces extend at an inclination to said main axis of said outer cylinder. 4. The vibration damper according to claim 1 , additionally comprising connection elements at said outer cylinder, and wherein said housing is constructed in a point-symmetrical manner with respect to the arrangement of said receiving spaces and said connection elements. 5. The vibration damper according to claim 1 , wherein said vibration damper housing comprises a fastening flange for fixing said damper housing to said outer cylinder. 6. The vibration damper according to claim 1 , wherein each of said receiving spaces comprises a connection channel and a connecting opening to said outer cylinder; said connecting opening having a longitudinal axis; and wherein said longitudinal axis of said connection channel has the same angular orientation as the main axes of said receiving spaces.
