Abstract:
A shock absorber including: a first cylinder having an interior, first and second ends and defining an axis, wherein the interior includes a damping fluid chamber and a damping piston movably mounted therein for movement between the first and second ends, wherein the damping piston is mounted on a first end of a shaft, wherein the first end of the shaft is movably retained within the interior of the first cylinder; first and second bypass openings configured for opening into the damping fluid chamber at first and second axially spaced-apart positions; a bypass channel fluidly coupling the first and second bypass openings; a fluid metering valve; and a floating piston dividing a portion of the shock absorber into a gas chamber and the reservoir chamber, wherein the fluid metering valve and the floating piston define the reservoir chamber there between.

Claim (Index 1):
A shock absorber comprising:\n a first cylinder having an interior, first and second ends and defining an axis, wherein said interior comprises a damping fluid chamber and a damping piston movably mounted therein for movement between said first and second ends, wherein said damping piston is mounted on a first end of a shaft, wherein said first end of said shaft is movably retained within said interior of said first cylinder; first and second bypass openings configured for opening into said damping fluid chamber at first and second axially spaced-apart positions; a bypass channel fluidly coupling said first and second bypass openings; a fluid metering valve configured for metering fluid flowing between said damping fluid chamber and a reservoir chamber during any movement of damping piston and said shaft into said interior of said first cylinder in order to facilitate a dampening effect, said reservoir chamber and said fluid metering valve disposed within said first cylinder, said fluid metering valve further comprising:\n a compression piston having at least one passage formed therethrough; \n a shaft; and \n a set of shim stacks removably covering said at least one passage of said compression piston; and \n a floating piston dividing a portion of said first cylinder into a gas chamber and said reservoir chamber, wherein said fluid metering valve and said floating piston define said reservoir chamber there between.
