ABSTRACT:
A molded piston for a shock absorber is formed as a cylindrical member having a central, axial opening for receiving a piston rod. A plurality of unrestricted axial openings are provided in the piston radially outbound of the central opening and aligned substantially parallel to the axis of the piston to serve as primary flow passages. A plurality of axial grooves are provided on the circumference of the piston to serve as secondary flow passages. A flexible, circumferential valving ring is integrally molded at one end of the piston for permitting only one-way flow of fluid through the secondary flow passages as the piston reciprocates in an inner cylinder.
