Abstract: An assembly for use as part of a vehicle suspension system includes an adjustable roll rate that is automatically adjusted responsive to maneuvers of the vehicle. A stiffener element is coupled with a stabilizer bar. The stiffener element increases the roll rate responsive to the vehicle wheels being turned. In one example, the stiffener element is a metallic plate that rotates into various positions responsive to the vehicle wheel being turned. The further the wheel turns, the further the plate rotates and the greater the increase in the roll rate.

Abstract: A charging fixture for gas charging a damper includes a pair of body members adapted to be forced together under pressure. Alignment pins align the body members as they are forced together. Compressable elastomeric members define a cavity in the body members and are disposed in the body members and sized for compressing and deforming portions of an outer cylinder surface of the damper during charging. A passageway to the cavity is connected to a high pressure source of gas, and the damper is charged by gas entering from the cavity by displacement of a piston rod seal from along an intermediate cylinder head.

Abstract: A shock absorber includes a dust tube that surrounds a shock body. The shock body is movable relative to the dust tube in response to road load inputs. A plurality of magnets is mounted to one of the dust tube and shock body, and a module is mounted to the other of the dust tube and shock body. The module interacts with the plurality of magnets to determine a position of the dust tube relative to a position of the shock body. This position information can be used to adjust suspension ride height as needed.

Abstract: A vehicle suspension is provided that includes a frame supporting a pair of laterally spaced apart suspension members pivotally supported on the frame and movable in a vertical direction. Each of a pair of wheel ends is supported respectively on one of the suspension members. A stabilizer bar is supported on the frame laterally between the suspension members. The stabilizer bar includes opposing ends each respectively proximate one of the suspension members. Each of a pair of resilient stabilizer bar links respectively interconnects one of the ends and one of the suspension members and transmits torsional force to the stabilizer bar in response to movement of the suspension members in the vertical direction during roll conditions. The links have first and second deflection rates during the roll condition with the first rate being less than the second deflection rate. The links transition from the first deflection rate to the second deflection rate and from the second deflection rate to an effective zero deflection rate.

Abstract: A variable rate bushing passively controls the stiffness of a stabilizer bar. During normal vehicle operation, the stabilizer bar is compliant. As twist increase, the resistance increases. In one embodiment, the variable rate bushing includes at least one void which compresses as the vehicle turns. As the stabilizer bar axially twists, the void compresses and the rate of the bushing increases, reducing axial twist and increasing stiffness of the stabilizer bar. In one embodiment, the voids are teardrop shaped, arc shaped, or bone shaped. Alternatively, the bushing includes an inner layer of softer material and an outer layer of harder material to control stabilizer bar stiffness. Also, the bushing may include a molded insert made of a hard material inserted into a softer material to control the stiffness of the stabilizer bar.

Abstract: A clutch device for use with a vehicle suspension system to vary the stiffness of a stabilizer bar. A plurality of dampers connected to the clutch body alternate with a plurality of dampers connected to the stabilizer bar. The dampers are coated with a friction material and surrounded by a fluid. When a load is applied on the walls of clutch body, the friction material comes into contact, dampening the rotation action of the stabilizer bar. A sensor senses the parameters of the ride and generates a signal based on these parameters. The signal activates a power source controller which applies the load to the walls.

Abstract: A variable damping shock absorber is disclosed. The shock absorber has a two-wire electrical lead extending into the piston rod. The electrical energy provided by the lead drives a drive motor, which rotates in alternating directions depending on the setting of an internal switch that switches upon occurrence of voltage spike, which occurs when the motor has driven an internal rotatable valve as far as the valve can go within the confines of rotation permitted by the valving. The drive motor then drives an internal valve between an open and closed position, which in turn opens and increases, or closes or reduces, a path in fluid flow from one cavity to another as the piston moves within the shock absorber.

Abstract: A gas charging head which is fitted atop the piston rod of an hydraulic damper. A force is applied to the charging head driving the piston rod back within the damper cylinder. As the piston rod moves in the cylinder, a seal penetrating device associated with the head displaces the piston rod seal. An annular path is formed between the piston rod and the inner surface of the penetrating device for communicating with a pressurized cavity in the charging head supplying gas under pressure to the internal volume of the damper.
