BUMPER CAP AND SHOCK ABSORBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18274456 titled 'BUMPER CAP AND SHOCK ABSORBER
Simplified Explanation
The invention is a bumper cap designed to be attached to a shock absorber main body. It includes a cover part with an opening at one end, a bottom part, and a through hole penetrating the bottom part at the other end. The cover part is configured to cover the shock absorber main body. Additionally, there are protruding parts on the bottom part of the cover part that protrude towards the opening side, with a gap formed between adjacent protruding parts. A suppression part is provided in the cover part to suppress the rotation of fluid that has flowed into the space between the inside of the cover part and the shock absorber main body from the outside through the through hole.
- Cover part with opening, bottom part, and through hole
- Protruding parts on the bottom part with gaps between them
