  • Patent number: 4926984
    Abstract: A novel hydraulic, fluid-filled shock absorber including a shock absorber chamber bounded by cylindrical walls and opposed, spaced-apart first and second end plates including first means for anchoring the chamber to a frame, a shock absorber shaft passing axially through the chamber and end plates including second means for connection to a separate oscillatory member, a work disc pivotally mounted transverse to the shaft inside the chamber intermediate the first and second end plates, a baffle fixedly mounted inside the chamber in fluid-sealing relationship therein having at least one aperture formed therethrough, a wiper baffle axially mounted to the shaft intermediate the disc and the first end plate extending outward into fluid-sealing relationship against the chamber walls to effectively divide the chamber into first and second subchambers so that rotation of the shaft forces fluid from one subchamber through the aperture into the other subchamber, a first pivot pin extending inward from the second end pl
