  • Patent number: 9630678
    Abstract: A telescopic suspension fork leg, such as may be using in conjunction with a motorcycle. The fork leg has an inner tube and an outer tube, a damping arrangement, and a spring arrangement which is arranged inside a first chamber formed in the outer tube and resting opposite a second chamber formed by the damping arrangement and arranged beneath the first chamber. The telescopic suspension fork leg features a compressible equalizing volume for a damping fluid volume displaced by a piston rod. The equalizing volume is provided generally concentrically between a damping tube and a separating piston. The separating piston fluidically separates the equalizing volume from an annular space chamber.

    Abstract: A telescopic suspension fork leg, such as may be used in a motorcycle. The fork leg has an inner tube and an outer tube and a damping arrangement and a spring arrangement, which is arranged within a first chamber which is formed in the outer tube and is supported against a second chamber formed by the damping arrangement and arranged beneath the first chamber, which is constructed to receive a damping fluid. The damping arrangement has a piston, on a piston rod, with upper and lower piston surfaces. The piston is displaceable within a damping tube arranged largely concentrically to the inner tube, and the damping tube is surrounded by an annulus chamber arranged largely concentrically to the damping tube, and a sealing arrangement, displaceable along the piston rod, is provided between the first and second chambers.
