Abstract:
A damper system for a vehicle is provided that includes including a pressure tube, a piston rod, and a piston assembly that is mounted to the piston rod and separates the pressure tube into first and second working chambers. A valve assembly, mounted to the piston assembly, controls fluid flow between the first and second working chambers. A frequency dependent damper assembly, coupled to the piston rod at a position below the piston assembly, includes a plunger sleeve that is longitudinally moveable to transmit an adaptive force to a valve assembly. A plunger travel limiter, positioned longitudinally between the frequency dependent damper assembly and the valve assembly, contacts the plunger sleeve and prevents the plunger sleeve from moving further towards the piston assembly to limit the magnitude of the adaptive force applied to the valve assembly.

Claim (Index 18):
A frequency dependent damper assembly for attachment to a piston rod of a vehicle shock absorber having first and second working chambers, the frequency dependent damper assembly comprising:\n a damper housing extending longitudinally between a first end and a second end; a plunger sleeve mounted on or in the damper housing that is longitudinally moveable relative to the damper housing between a rest position and an engaged position; a plunger chamber disposed between the damper housing and the plunger sleeve that is fluidly connected to at least one of the first working chamber and the second working chamber such that an increase in pressure within the plunger chamber creates an adaptive force on the plunger sleeve that moves the plunger sleeve longitudinally away from the second end of the damper housing to the engaged position; and a plunger travel limiter, abutting the first end of the damper housing, that contacts the plunger sleeve when the plunger sleeve is in the engaged position to restrict longitudinal movement of the plunger sleeve relative to the damper housing.
