Abstract
A piston and cylinder type shock absorber that accomplishes readily adjustable damping by employing an externally controlled flow path between the rebound chamber and the reservoir of the shock absorber. A relatively simple inexpensive valving mechanism controls flow through this path and is disposed in the inner cylinder head of the shock absorber so that it may be readily and easily manipulated from outside the shock absorber.
