  • Patent number: 5161817
    Abstract: A fluid suspension system has a valve including first and second valve parts coupled to a supporting structure and to a supported structure, respectively, and movable relative to each other in response to movements of the supporting structure and the supported structure relative to each other. One of these first and second valve parts has a port connected to a fluid spring of the suspension system, and the other of these first and second valve parts includes a fluid passage having an aperture at that port for a supply of fluid through that port to the fluid spring in a first relative position of these first and second valve parts. A fluid outlet in that other valve part is spaced from the port in a first relative position of the first and second valve parts, and communicates with that port for a removal of fluid from the fluid spring in a second relative position of the first and second valve parts.
