  "textContent": "A valved bump stop is provided that includes a damper body, a piston rod extending into the damper body with a valve coupled to the piston rod within the damper body and a bumper coupled to an end of the piston rod extending out of the damper body. The valve includes a piston having an inner volume, an inlet, and spool apertures through a sidewall of the piston into the inner volume. The valve also includes a spool having a fluid engagement surface, a spring engagement surface, and a control orifice. The spool may be coupled within the inner volume of the piston. The spring engages the spring engagement surface and biases the spool to a closed position covering the spool apertures. The spool moves to an opened position exposing the spool apertures in response to fluid pressure applied to the fluid engagement surface exceeding the spring's spring rate.",
