Abstract:
1. A vehicle suspension damper comprising: a cylinder and a piston assembly comprising: a working fluid within said vehicle suspension damper, said vehicle suspension damper comprising a compression chamber configured for holding a first portion of said working fluid and a rebound chamber configured for holding a second portion of said working fluid, wherein said piston comprises: a pressure-sensitive valve disposed in said vehicle suspension damper between said compression chamber and said rebound chamber, said pressure-sensitive valve comprising: whereby, in a compression stroke of said piston, said pressure-sensitive valve opens, permitting said working fluid to move from one side of said piston to the other side of said piston when a force exerted by said pressurized gas on said first annular valve surface is overcome by an opposing force exerted on said opposed annular valve surface by said working fluid.
