Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A shock absorber of a suspension apparatus includes a pair of chambers, a flow passage connects the chambers such that a working fluid passes through the flow passage as the shock absorber expands and contracts, a damping force generation mechanism applies resistance to the working fluid passing through the flow passage, a bypass passage connects the chambers so as to bypass the flow passage, a variable throttle member that is inserted into the bypass passage to be capable of advancing and retreating in order to modify an opening of the bypass passage, an actuator drives the variable throttle member and includes an acting portion disposed on a back surface side of the variable throttle member, and a power transmission mechanism interposed between the acting portion and the variable throttle member in order to transmit a linear motion of the acting portion to the variable throttle member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The embodiments of the present invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1.
