Abstract:
The damper assembly includes a tubular member, a rod, a primary piston, a secondary piston, and a resilient member. The tubular member includes a sidewall and a cap positioned at an end of the sidewall. The sidewall and the cap define an inner volume. The sidewall includes a shoulder separating the tubular member into a first portion and a second portion. The resilient member is disposed between the secondary piston and the cap and thereby is positioned to bias the secondary piston into engagement with the shoulder.

Claim (Index 9):
A damper assembly, comprising:\n a housing having an end cap and defining an inner volume including a first portion and a second portion, wherein the transition between the first portion and the second portion defines a shoulder; a primary piston positioned within the housing; and a limiter positioned between the primary piston and the end cap, the limiter comprising:\n a damper piston including a body member having a contact surface, an opposing second surface, and an inner cylindrical face that defines an aperture through a central portion of the body member, the primary piston and the damper piston separating the inner volume into a first working chamber, a second working chamber, and a recoil chamber; and \n a resilient member disposed within the recoil chamber, between the opposing second surface of the damper piston and the end cap, the resilient member thereby positioned to bias the damper piston into engagement with the shoulder; and \n a rod coupled to the primary piston and extending through the aperture defined by the damper piston; wherein the damper piston defines a channel extending laterally outward from the inner cylindrical face across the contact surface to an outer periphery of the body member, wherein the primary piston and the channel are configured to cooperatively define a first flow conduit upon engagement between the primary piston and the damper piston; and wherein an outer surface of the rod and the inner cylindrical face of the damper piston define a second flow conduit, and wherein the first flow conduit and the second flow conduit cooperate to define an open flow path from the recoil chamber.
