Abstract
Disclosed is a shock absorber for a vehicle including a cylinder filled with a fluid, a piston rod disposed inside the cylinder, a piston valve disposed at a lower portion of the piston rod, a stopper installed above the piston valve on the piston rod, a free piston configured to divide the cylinder into a first chamber and a second chamber below the first chamber and installed on the piston rod to be movable upward from the stopper, a spring configured to elastically support the free piston, and a bypass portion provided on an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder.

A shock absorber for a vehicle comprising:
- a cylinder filled with a fluid;
- a piston rod disposed inside the cylinder;
- a piston valve disposed at a lower portion of the piston rod;
- a stopper installed above the piston valve on the piston rod;
- a free piston configured to divide the cylinder into a first chamber and a second chamber below the first chamber and installed on the piston rod to be movable upward from the stopper;
- a spring configured to elastically support the free piston;
- and
- a bypass portion provided on an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder,
- wherein the bypass portion forms a path through which the fluid is bypassed between the first chamber and the second chamber when the free piston is located in the bypass portion.
A shock absorber for a vehicle comprising:
- a cylinder filled with a fluid and comprising an inner tube and an outer tube disposed outside the inner tube;
- a piston rod disposed inside the inner tube;
- a piston valve disposed at a lower portion of the piston rod;
- a stopper installed above the piston valve on the piston rod;
- a free piston configured to divide the inner tube into a first chamber and a second chamber below the first chamber and movably installed on the piston rod;
- a spring configured to elastically support the free piston;
- and
- a bypass portion provided on an inner circumferential surface of the inner tube,
- wherein the bypass portion forms a path through which the fluid is bypassed between the first chamber and the second chamber when the free piston passes through the bypass portion during a rebound stroke of the piston rod.
