Abstract
The invention relates to an oscillation-damping device for a motor vehicle; the device is constituted by cylinders and pistons, of which the upper and lower variable volume chambers are filled with a fluid and are interconnected by means of a system of conduits provided with damping constrictions having a cross-section which varies with the fluid passage velocity, some being capable of a symmetrical damping action in the two flow directions, while others are capable of a differential damping action in the two flow directions.
