Abstract:
A shock absorber including: a first cylinder having an interior, first and second ends and defining an axis, wherein the interior includes a damping fluid chamber and a damping piston movably mounted therein for movement between the first and second ends, wherein the damping piston is mounted on a first end of a shaft, wherein the first end of the shaft is movably retained within the interior of the first cylinder; first and second bypass openings configured for opening into the damping fluid chamber at first and second axially spaced-apart positions; a bypass channel fluidly coupling the first and second bypass openings; a fluid metering valve; and a floating piston dividing a portion of the shock absorber into a gas chamber and the reservoir chamber, wherein the fluid metering valve and the floating piston define the reservoir chamber there between.

Claim (Index 4):
A shock absorber comprising:\n a cylinder comprising:\n a concentric cylinder bypass damper comprising:\n an interior comprising:\n a damping fluid chamber; and \n \n a set of bypass openings configured for providing damping while a portion of a fluid, within said damping fluid chamber of a first portion of said interior, flows through at least a bypass opening of said set of bypass openings to a second portion of said interior; and \n \n a fluid metering valve/floating piston assembly coupled to said concentric cylinder bypass damper, said fluid metering valve/floating piston comprising:\n a fluid metering valve configured for metering a second portion of said fluid there through; \n a floating piston having a first side and a second side, wherein a reservoir chamber is coupled to said first side and a gas chamber is coupled to said second side, wherein said floating piston and said fluid metering valve sandwich said reservoir chamber, and wherein said floating piston is configured for pressing into said gas chamber when said second portion of said fluid enters said reservoir chamber; and \n an air spring cylinder comprising:\n an air spring chamber within an interior of said air spring cylinder; and \n a shaft mount to which a second end of said shaft is retained, wherein said concentric cylinder bypass damper and said fluid metering valve/floating piston assembly are disposed in series with each other in said cylinder, and wherein said cylinder is slidably engaged within said interior of said air spring cylinder via said shaft, wherein said concentric cylinder bypass damper operates as an air spring piston relative to said air spring chamber of said air spring cylinder.
