A shock absorber includes a first passage provided in a piston and through which a working fluid moves from a chamber on an upstream side to a chamber on a downstream side in a cylinder due to movement of the piston, a first damping force generation mechanism provided in the first passage to generate a damping force, a second passage (141) provided in a piston rod (21), and a fixing member fixed to the piston rod (21) to form the second passage (141), and a second damping force generation mechanism provided in the second passage (141) to generate a damping force, in which a throttle member (161) provided in the second damping force generation mechanism, including a plurality of notch parts (171) at substantially regular intervals in a circumferential direction to form a throttle flow path (76) in the second passage due to the notch parts (171), and formed to have a flow path area of the throttle flow path (76) that is constant regardless of an attachment position thereof in the circumferential direction is further provided.

A load sharing block includes a body including a flat outer surface defining a first end and a second end, a first arcuate outer portion extending from the first end of the flat outer surface, and a second arcuate outer portion extending from the second end of the flat outer surface. The first arcuate outer portion terminates at a first free end and includes a first elliptical outer surface extending from the first free end.

A pressure buffer stop for a vibration damper that comprises for being at least partially received in a dome bearing housing an outer contour and for coaxial arrangement on a piston rod of the vibration damper a hollow-cylindrical basic structure with an inner contour, wherein the outer contour of the pressure buffer stop comprises in at least one region for being at least partially received in the dome bearing housing a three-dimensionally structured surface.

A damper and a load-bearing enclosure having the damper are provided. The damper includes a housing forming a containing cavity and a vibration energy dissipation unit located inside the housing, and the containing cavity includes a liquid storage cavity and a mass body movement cavity located at an upper part of the liquid storage cavity; the vibration energy dissipation unit includes a damping liquid contained in the liquid storage cavity and a plurality of mass bodies located inside the mass body movement cavity; and the mass bodies float on the liquid level of the damping liquid, and an outer surface of the mass body is formed with a plurality of toothed projections for breaking waves formed in the damping liquid due to vibration and dispersing the waves in different directions.

A hydraulic damper assembly comprises a main tube extending between a first and a second end and defining a fluid chamber extending therebetween. A main piston slidably disposed in the fluid chamber divides the fluid chamber into a compression chamber and a rebound chamber. A piston rod attaches to the main piston. An additional piston couples to the piston rod axially spaced from the main piston. The additional piston has a top surface and a bottom surface and defines at least one pathway extending through the additional piston. The additional piston defines a recess bounded by an upper surface and a lower surface. A ring slidably is disposed in the recess. The additional piston includes an anti-noise member located in the recess whereby the anti-noise member releases fluid pressure between the ring and the upper surface reducing noise generation during a compression stroke and a rebound stroke.

A pendulum damping device incorporated into a drive train of a motor vehicle, notably into a clutch, includes a support capable of rotational movement about an axis of rotation, a pendulum assembly of which the movement with respect to the support is guided by at least one rolling member, and an end-stop damping system borne directly by the pendulum assembly and able at least to damp the coming of said pendulum assembly into a position of abutment against the support of said pendulum assembly during the radial fall and/or saturation of this said pendulum assembly. The pendulum assembly also includes at least one radial protuberance designed to pass at least partially through an opening made in the end-stop damping system.

A sheet-shaped cushioning rubber including a planar base portion and a three-dimensional portion formed to rise from the base portion toward one side in a sheet thickness direction, the planar base portion and the three-dimensional portion being alternately provided in one direction of a sheet plane, wherein the three-dimensional portion includes a hollow portion that opens toward the other side in the sheet thickness direction. The three-dimensional portion is integrally provided with a first rising surface that is continuous from the base portion, a top surface, a second rising surface on a side opposite to the first rising surface, and a pair of rising surfaces on both sides in a sheet width direction, and the hollow portion opens only toward the other side in the sheet thickness direction.

A base edge includes a plurality of center notches and a first and a second end notches that all include the same configuration, defining a notch depth along direction of assembly, a straight middle portion straddled laterally by a first arcuate corner portion and a second arcuate corner portion, the straight middle portion defining a lateral straight middle portion width, and the notch depth ranges from 0.1 multiplied by the lateral straight middle portion width to 0.5 multiplied by the lateral straight middle portion width.

The first and the second legs and the throat portion of an adapter include an upper surface and a lower surface that at least partially define a slot, and a clearance void disposed at the closed end of the slot. A ratio of the clearance void width to the clearance void height ranges from 2.0 to 3.0.

A shock absorber includes a seal member that is slidably in contact with a piston rod, a friction member that is formed of an annular elastic rubber section slidably in contact with the piston rod and an annular base section to which the elastic rubber section is fixed, and an communication path that reduces pressure difference between both sides of the friction member in axial direction. The elastic rubber section is provided with a minimum inner diameter section, a first enlarged diameter section, and a second enlarged diameter section. A force is applied to the piston rod by the friction member such that movement in an outward direction of the cylinder becomes difficult and movement in an inward direction of the cylinder becomes easy.
