Patent ID: 8191693

Claim:
A vibration damper, comprising, a working cylinder having a working piston axially displaceably arranged therein and with throttle units for both passage directions, the working piston dividing the working cylinder into first and second working chambers, and a damper fork formed as a one-piece component together with a compensation cylinder having a compensation piston axially displaceably arranged therein, the compensation piston dividing the compensation cylinder into first and second compensation cylinder working chambers with the first compensation cylinder working chamber being operatively connected to communicate with the second working cylinder working chamber wherein the compensation cylinder is situated at and diagonal to a longitudinal end of the working cylinder, the compensation piston being guided only via an inner mantle surface of the compensation cylinder, a passage cross-section between the second working chamber of the working cylinder and the first working chamber of the compensation cylinder being larger than a cross-sectional area of the compensation cylinder; the compensation cylinder being an integrated part of a fastening element for fastening the vibration damper to a suspension component along with the damper fork and implemented as a one-piece unit with the fastening element; the compensation cylinder with the damper fork disposed on a front side of the working cylinder and the compensation cylinder having a flange for fastening the compensation cylinder at the front side of the working cylinder; the working chamber having a longitudinal center axis disposed obliquely to and intersecting a longitudinal axis of the compensation cylinder; and the fastening element defining a hollow channel extending to the longitudinal center axis of the working cylinder and provided for receiving a shaft between the compensation cylinder and the damper fork.
