Patent attributes
A hydraulic damper (2) includes a slidable piston assembly (4) attached to a piston rod (6) to form at least one valve assembly of the damper. The damper further includes at least one chamber in which a slidable partition assembly (54) separates this chamber into an additional compression chamber (101) hydraulically connected with a main compression chamber (10) and an additional rebound chamber (91) hydraulically connected with a main rebound chamber (9, 09). The slidable partition assembly (54) comprises a piston (541) making a sliding fit with an inner surface of the chamber and at least one spring (543) supporting the piston (541). The slidable partition assembly (54) additionally comprises at least one internal piston (542) disposed slidably within the external piston (541) and supported by an internal spring (544) disposed between the internal piston (542) and the external piston (541).
