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 18):
The shock absorber according to  claim 11 ,\n wherein the damping force generating mechanism includes:\n a main valve configured to suppress flow of the working fluid generated by a slide of the piston to generate the damping force; and \n a pilot chamber configured to apply a pressure in a closing direction to the main valve, and \n wherein the damping force generating mechanism is configured to introduce part of the flow of the working fluid into the pilot chamber to control opening of the main valve through the pressure in the pilot chamber.
