  • Patent number: 10865849
    Abstract: Shock absorber comprising a tubular base, a piston, a stem connected to the piston, and a plurality of fluid paths for connecting a working chamber and an accumulation chamber on opposite sides of the piston, one of which provides for a ring-shaped obstructing member arranged about the piston and able to slide along an axial length of the piston. The obstructing member comprises a bush of plastic material, which has a flexible lip portion extending from a rear end of the bush and having a radially outer surface tapered towards the rear end of the bush, the lip portion being adapted to seal against a radially inner surface of the base when the obstructing member is in a closed configuration. A support ring member is adapted to radially engage the lip portion of the bush from within, and to push it against the radially inner surface of the base.
