Abstract:
A piston for a shock absorber, the piston including a compression chamber face, a rebound chamber face. At least one compression port extends between the compression chamber face and the rebound chamber face and at least one rebound port extends between a rebound port entry in a rebound port entry region on the rebound chamber face and a rebound port exit in a rebound port exit region on the compression chamber face. The or each compression port is substantially aligned with a primary axis of the piston and has a compression port radial location relative to the primary axis of the piston. The rebound port entry region is located at a greater radial distance from the primary axis of the piston than the compression port radial location, and the compression port radial location is at a greater radial distance from the primary axis of the piston than the rebound port exit region. This provides the easily achievable benefit of higher rebound damping than compression damping through the provision of a small pressure area under the rebound shims and a large pressure area under the compression shims.

Claim (Index 5):
A piston according to  claim 1  wherein the or each rebound port comprises a substantially radially oriented radial channel and a substantially axially oriented axial channel, the radial channel intersecting the axial channel,\n the axial channel exiting the compression chamber face of the piston.
