Abstract:
A shock absorber including: a first passage ( 101 ) allowing working fluid to flow out from one chamber ( 19 ) as a result of movement of a piston ( 18 ); a second passage ( 181 ) provided in parallel with the first passage; a damping force generating mechanism ( 41 ) provided in the first passage, and configured to generate a damping force; a tubular case member ( 140 ) including at least a part of the second passage formed therein; an annular disc ( 134 ) supported on an inner peripheral side or an outer peripheral side in the case member. An annular seal member ( 156 ) configured to seal a gap to the case member is provided on a non-supported side of the annular disc. The shock absorber further includes two chambers ( 171, 172 ) in the case member, which are defined and provided by the disc. The disc is configured to block flow to the second passage.

Claim (Index 19):
A shock absorber comprising:\n a cylinder sealingly enclosing working fluid; an outer tube provided around the cylinder; a piston slidably fitted in the cylinder; a piston rod coupled to the piston, and extending to an outside of the cylinder; and a damping force generating mechanism configured to control flow of working fluid generated by a slide of the piston in the cylinder to generate a damping force, wherein a tubular case for containing the damping force generating mechanism is provided in the outer tube; wherein shock absorber includes in the case:\n a housing having a bottomed tubular shape; \n a main valve provided so as to close an opening of the housing, and configured to control the flow of the fluid generated by the slide of the piston in the cylinder to generate the damping force; \n a pilot chamber formed by the housing and the main valve, and configured to apply an inner pressure in a closing direction to the main valve; \n an introduction passage configured to introduce the fluid into the pilot chamber; \n a pilot passage configured to cause the pilot chamber and a downstream side of the main valve to communicate with each other; and \n a control valve provided in the pilot passage; \n wherein a disc is provided in the pilot chamber so as to be movable relative to the housing, the disk forming an housing inner chamber between the disc and a bottom portion of the housing, and wherein a seal member configured to seal a gap between an outer periphery of the disc and an inner periphery of the housing is integrally provided for the disc.
