Abstract:
A shock absorber has a valve controlling the flow rate of fluid between a first chamber and a second chamber. The shock absorber may include a blocker that has a variable profile. The blocker may be rotatable using an external adjuster to position the blocker to variably occlude an aperture and vary the damping of the suspension. A bias may also be positioned adjacent the blocker to allow force from the fluid to move the blocker and expose the aperture, thereby allowing fluid to flow through the entirety of the aperture.

Claim (Index 21):
A suspension system of a vehicle, comprising:\n (a) a first chamber; (b) a second chamber; and (c) a valve for controlling flow of a substantially incompressible fluid between the first chamber and the second chamber, comprising:\n (1) a valve body defining an aperture capable of permitting the substantially incompressible fluid to flow between the first chamber and the second chamber; \n (2) a rotatable blocker having an axis and a free end; and \n (3) a bias configured to exert a force on the blocker in a first direction along the axis; and \n (4) a substantially fixed support configured to contact the free end of the rotatable blocker when the bias positions the blocker in a blocking position, wherein the support is spaced from the aperture and any bias.
