Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a single shock body equipped with the gas permeable internal floating piston. The gas permeable internal floating piston was specifically designed for installation in the multiple stage air shock, the gas permeable internal floating piston being disclosed in the parent application. The gas permeable internal floating piston automatically separates the oil from the gas within the shock body thereby significantly reducing the complexity and cost of manufacturing a shock absorber with the gas permeable internal floating piston. Also, separation is maintained during the operation of the shock throughout the shock's lifetime. The gas permeable internal floating piston can operate with oils derived from either petroleum or synthetic base stocks, additives, and various gases including dry air, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, helium, neon, and argon.

Claim (Index 1):
A multiple stage shock absorber with gas permeable internal floating piston comprising:\n a plurality of dual function shafts, each dual function shaft includes\n a dual function shaft cylinder-like structure with a dual function shaft closed end and a dual function shaft open end, \n a dual function shaft working piston attached to the dual function shaft closed end, \n a dual function shaft end cap configured as a seal and attached to the dual function shaft open end, \n a dual function shaft gas permeable internal floating piston slidably disposed within the working tube configured to permeate gases through the gas permeable internal floating piston but not liquids, wherein the gas permeable internal floating piston is an impenetrable barrier for liquids, \n a dual function shaft first cell in the dual function shaft cylinder-like structure between the gas permeable internal floating piston and the dual function shaft open end configured to contain liquids and gases, and \n a dual function shaft second cell in the dual function shaft cylinder-like structure between the dual function shaft closed end and the dual function shaft gas permeable internal floating piston configured to contain only gases, and \n wherein the dual function shaft gas permeable internal floating piston enables gas to permeate from the dual function shaft first cell to the dual function shaft second cell and from the dual function shaft second cell to the dual function shaft first cell, while providing an impenetrable barrier between the dual function shaft first cell and the dual function shaft second cell for liquids and the dual function shaft gas permeable internal floating piston is moveable longitudinally in relation to the dual function shaft in response to a change in volume of the dual function shaft first cell and a corresponding change in volume of the dual function shaft second cell; \n a first stage working tube, the first stage working tube includes\n a first stage working tube cylinder-like structure with a closed end and an open end, the open end is attached with an end cap configured to slidably receive the dual function shaft; \n a first stage working tube gas permeable internal floating piston slidably disposed within the working tube configured to permeate gases through the gas permeable internal floating piston but not liquids, wherein the gas permeable internal floating piston is an impenetrable barrier for liquids; \n a first stage working tube first cell between the gas permeable internal floating piston and the open end of the working tube configured to contain liquids and gases; \n a first stage working tube second cell between the closed end of the working tube and the first stage working tube gas permeable internal floating piston configured to contain only gases, and \n wherein the first stage working tube gas permeable internal floating piston enables gas to permeate from the first stage working tube first cell to the first stage working tube second cell and from the first stage working tube second cell to the first stage working tube first cell, while providing an impenetrable barrier between the first stage working tube first cell and the first stage working tube second cell for liquids and the first stage working tube gas permeable internal floating piston is moveable longitudinally in relation to the first stage working tube in response to a change in volume of the first stage working tube first cell and a corresponding change in volume of the first stage working tube second cell; \n a final stage shaft, the final stage shaft includes\n a final stage shaft having a final stage cylinder-like structure with a first final stage closed end and a second final stage closed end, \n a final stage shaft working piston attached to the first final stage closed end, and \n wherein the final stage shaft is configured to slide into and out of the dual function shaft; and \n wherein the first stage working tube, at least one dual function shaft, and the final stage shaft are attached to create the multiple stage gas permeable internal floating piston shock.
