Abstract:
A suspension apparatus includes a first extension-side damping valve provided in the first flow path; a first contraction-side damping valve provided in the first flow path in parallel with the first extension-side damping valve; a second extension-side damping valve provided in the second flow path; a second contraction-side damping valve provided in the second flow path in parallel with the second extension-side damping valve; a first damping valve configured to impart resistance to the flow of fluid from the first flow path to the first accumulator; a first check valve disposed in parallel with the first damping valve; a second damping valve configured to impart resistance to the flow of fluid from the second flow path to the second accumulator; and a second check valve disposed in parallel with the second damping valve.

Claim (Index 1):
A suspension apparatus comprising:\n a first damper and a second damper each including a cylinder and a piston slidably inserted in the cylinder in such a way as to define an extension-side chamber and a contraction-side chamber in the cylinder; a first flow path allowing the extension-side chamber of the first damper to communicate with the contraction-side chamber of the second damper; a second flow path allowing the contraction-side chamber of the first damper to communicate with the extension-side chamber of the second damper; a first accumulator connected to the first flow path; a second accumulator connected to the second flow path; a first extension-side damping valve provided in the first flow path, the first extension-side damping valve being configured to impart resistance to a flow of fluid from the extension-side chamber of the first damper to the contraction-side chamber of the second damper; a first contraction-side damping valve provided in the first flow path in parallel with the first extension-side damping valve, the first contraction-side damping valve being configured to impart resistance to the flow of fluid from the contraction-side chamber of the second damper to the extension-side chamber of the first damper; a second extension-side damping valve provided in the second flow path, the second extension-side damping valve being configured to impart resistance to the flow of fluid from the extension-side chamber of the second damper to the contraction-side chamber of the first damper; a second contraction-side damping valve provided in the second flow path in parallel with the second extension-side damping valve, the second contraction-side damping valve being configured to impart resistance to the flow of fluid from the contraction-side chamber of the first damper to the extension-side chamber of the second damper; a first damping valve configured to impart resistance to the flow of fluid from the first flow path to the first accumulator; a first check valve disposed in parallel with the first damping valve in such a way as to enable fluid to flow only from the first accumulator to the first flow path; a second damping valve configured to impart resistance to the flow of fluid from the second flow path to the second accumulator; and a second check valve disposed in parallel with the second damping valve in such a way as to enable fluid to flow only from the second accumulator to the second flow path.
