Abstract:
A shock absorber includes a first end and a second end that reciprocate relative to one another. The shock absorber includes a gas spring chamber, a damping chamber, and a floating piston. The first side of the floating piston is in fluid communication with the gas spring chamber. The second side of the floating piston is in fluid communication with the damping chamber. The gas in the gas spring chamber applies pressure against the floating piston, which applies pressure to the substantially incompressible fluid in the damping chamber. This pressure transfer may be adequate to minimize or prevent cavitation.

Claim (Index 11):
A shock absorber for a vehicle, comprising:\n a first end, being annular along at least a portion of its length and terminating at a first cap, the first end at least partially defining a gas spring chamber containing gas; a second end, being annular along at least a portion of its length and terminating at a second cap, the first end and the second end being configured to telescopically slidingly interfit with one another, the second end at least partially defining a damping chamber containing a substantially incompressible fluid; a first piston extending from and disposed in fixed relationship to the second end, movement of the first piston within the first end affecting the gas in the gas spring chamber; a second piston extending from and disposed in fixed relationship to the first end, movement of the second piston within the second end affecting the substantially incompressible fluid in the damping chamber, wherein the substantially incompressible fluid remains within the second end; and a barrier configured to move to maintain the pressure in the gas spring chamber and the pressure in the damping chamber substantially in equilibrium.
