Bypass for a suspension damper |
摘要 |
A vehicle suspension damper comprises a cylinder and a piston assembly including a damping piston along with working fluid within the cylinder. A bypass permits fluid to avoid dampening resistance of the damping piston. A fluid path through the bypass is controlled by a valve that is shifted by a piston surface when the contents of at least one predetermined volume is injected against the piston surface which acts upon the valve. In one embodiment, the bypass is remotely operable. |

1. A vehicle suspension damper comprising:
a cylinder containing a fluid and a damping piston operable to travel within the fluid in the cylinder, said vehicle suspension damper further including a passageway through the damping piston and limiting a flow rate of the fluid through the damping piston in at least one direction; a bypass pathway in fluid communication with the cylinder between a first and second side of the damping piston; a valve for controlling a flow of the fluid through the bypass pathway, the valve including a piston surface biasing the valve towards a closed position when displaced; and at least one predetermined fluid volume in selective communication with the piston surface for causing displacement; wherein the valve is remotely controllable. |
