Patent ID: 8672106

Claim:
A suspension system comprising: a first suspension member movable relative to a second suspension member; a fluid reservoir having a volume, said volume variable in response to a relative movement between said first and second suspension members; and a fluid flow circuit having a first end in fluidic communication with said fluid reservoir and a second end in fluidic communication with an isolated suspension location, said fluid flow circuit comprising a first valve, a second valve and a third valve, wherein said first and third valves are in parallel and said second valve is in series with each of said first and third valves, wherein said isolated suspension location comprises: an inlet in fluidic communication with said second end of said fluid flow circuit; an end barrier; an annular enclosing wall defining an interior fluid pressure cavity between said inlet and said end barrier, said annular enclosing wall comprising: an outer surface of a cylinder; a flexible tubing; a first compression region configured for sealingly compressing a first end of said flexible tubing against a first end of said outer surface of said cylinder; and a second compression region comprising said inlet and configured for retainably compressing a second end of said flexible tubing against a second end of said outer surface of said cylinder.
