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 1):
A damper assembly, comprising:\n a tubular member including a sidewall and a cap positioned at an end of the sidewall, the sidewall and the cap defining an inner volume, wherein the sidewall includes a shoulder separating the tubular member into a first portion and a second portion; a rod extending within the inner volume; a primary piston positioned within the inner volume and coupled to the rod, the primary piston defining a first contact surface; a secondary piston including a body member having a second contact surface, an opposing second surface, and an inner cylindrical face defining a central aperture that receives the rod, the secondary piston defining a channel extending from the inner cylindrical face to an outer periphery of the body member, wherein the primary piston and the secondary piston separate the inner volume into a first working chamber, a second working chamber, and a recoil chamber; and a resilient member disposed between the secondary piston and the cap and thereby positioned to bias the secondary piston into engagement with the shoulder; wherein the first contact surface and the channel are configured to cooperatively define a flow conduit upon engagement between the primary piston and the secondary piston; wherein the second contact surface is configured to engage the first contact surface such that an open flow path is formed from the recoil chamber through the central aperture and the flow conduit upon engagement between the primary piston and the secondary piston.
