Abstract:
A shock absorber includes an extension-side damping valve, which provides an extension-side damping force, a first bypass passage, which bypasses the extension-side damping valve, a first pressure chamber, a first free piston, and a first spring, which are disposed in the first bypass passage, a contraction-side damping valve, which provides a contraction-side damping force, a second bypass passage, which bypasses the contraction-side damping valve, and a second pressure chamber, a second free piston, and a second spring, which are disposed in the second bypass passage.

Claim (Index 1):
A shock absorber comprising:\n a cylinder; a reservoir; a separating member that defines an operation chamber in the cylinder, the separating member separating the operation chamber from the reservoir; a piston movably inserted in the cylinder to partition the operation chamber into an extension-side chamber and a contraction-side chamber; an extension-side damping valve configured to allow passing of a flow of a liquid heading for the contraction-side chamber from the extension-side chamber, the extension-side damping valve being configured to provide a resistance to the flow of the liquid passing; a first bypass passage configured to bypass the extension-side damping valve; a first pressure chamber disposed in a middle of the first bypass passage; a first free piston movably inserted in the first pressure chamber; a first spring configured to bias the first free piston; a contraction-side damping valve configured to allow passing of a flow of the liquid heading for the reservoir from the contraction-side chamber, the contraction-side damping valve being configured to provide a resistance to the flow of the liquid passing; a second bypass passage configured to bypass the contraction-side damping valve; a second pressure chamber disposed in a middle of the second bypass passage; a second free piston movably inserted in the second pressure chamber; and a second spring configured to bias the second free piston.
