Title:
MULTI-CYLINDER SHOCK ABSORBER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/125856
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A multi-cylinder shock absorber (D) allows acting chambers (R1,R2) in a cylinder (1) filled with working fluid to expand/contract responsive to an expansion or contraction of the absorber. The cylinder (1) is housed in an outer tube (4), which has a gas chamber housing (10) protruding upwardly from an upper wall thereof (4). The space between the cylinder (1) and the outer tube (4) and the inner space of the gas chamber housing are used as a reservoir (5) for the working fluid. Inside the gas chamber housing (10) is formed a gas chamber (6) that borders on a surface (S) of the working fluid. The configuration allows the gas chamber (6) to secure a room when the multi-cylinder shock absorber (D) is used in a horizontal position with no need for an increase in the diameter of the outer tube (4).
