Abstract:
A bicycle frame includes a frame body including a top tube, a seat tube, a seat stay, and a mounting unit that is disposed at a junction among the top tube, the seat tube and the seat stay, and that has a base portion, and a position-limiting portion extending from the base portion, a seat post unit including a seat post that extends through the base portion, and a post clamp that is fixedly sleeved onto the seat post, and that is retained in the frame body by the position-limiting portion, a cushion sleeved onto the seat post, and having a tube body that is fittingly disposed between the seat post and the base portion, and a sleeve portion that extends from the tube body, and that is disposed between the post clamp and the base portion.
Abstract:
An engine support structure for a saddled vehicle inhibits transmission of engine vibration to a vehicle body frame and keeps rigidity of the vehicle body frame. The engine support structure for a saddled vehicle includes a pair of mounted portions (21) provided integrally with an engine (E) and disposed at lateral ends in a vehicle width direction of the engine (E), a pair of engine supporting brackets (27) disposed at lateral ends in the vehicle width direction of a vehicle body frame (1) and extending to the mounted portions (21), respectively, and engine mounting portions (31) provided at the brackets (27), respectively, in which each of the mounted portions (21) is mounted to a corresponding one of the engine mounting portions (31) with at least one damper member (51) provided therebetween to be independently elastically displaceable.
Abstract:
A Motorcycle Engine Mount having Improved Stiffness. The device is a bolt-in replacement for the Original Equipment Manufacturer engine mounts for FXD_series Harley Davidson motorcycles. The device has a single-piece, hardened steel outer frame, and a interstitial formed from urethane (rather than rubber) having a durometer reading of 40-60. The outer frame and inner frame attachment elements are both formed with a plurality of apertures through them so that they will be infilled with urethane when the urethane is injected to form the interstitial element. This infilling will bond the three elements together for long-term durability. There are also front and rear retention plates made from hardened metal to further stabilize and bond the inner frame attachement element to the urethane interstitial element.
Abstract:
A wheel independent suspension system for a mobility scooter includes: a chassis, and front wheels and rear wheels. A rail is disposed at the rear end of the chassis and extends along a width direction of the chassis, two ends of the rail are each connected to a first shock absorber which includes a rectangular inner and outer rectangular inner pipe disposed in and rotated 45 degrees with respect to the outer pipe, the edges of the inner pipe are abutted against an inner surface of the outer pipe, between each of the edges of the inner pipe and the inner space of the outer pipe is disposed an elastic rubber, the rail is rectangular and inserted in the inner pipe, two first connecting sleeves are sleeved onto the outer pipe and each provided with a connecting rod to which are connected the rear wheels.
Abstract:
A shock-absorbing seat stay for a bicycle includes a seat tube coupler having two branches each having a first joint portion, two extended parts each having a second joint portion corresponding to one of the first joint portions, two shock-absorption members made of elastic materials and each held between the corresponsive first and second joint portions, and at least two fastener units. Each of the first joint portions has at least one first through hole. Each of the second joint portions has at least one second through hole. Each of the shock-absorption members includes at least one third through hole. Each of the at least two fastener units is mounted to one set of the at least one first, second, and third through holes to further interconnect the corresponsive first joint portion, second joint portion, and shock-absorption member.
Abstract:
A direction indicator includes a direction indicator main unit, a grommet for elastically supporting the direction indicator main unit to a front cowl on a vehicle body side, a retainer for removably fixing the front cowl on the vehicle body side and the direction indicator main unit via the grommet, and a shouldered bolt for fastening the retainer and the direction indicator main unit. A fastening portion of the direction indicator main unit to which the retainer is fastened with the shouldered bolt has a groove that serves as a weakened or fragile portion that is deformed or damaged when the direction indicator engages the ground.
Abstract:
A bicycle suspension-setting adjustor assembly is provided with a suspension tube attachment structure, a first actuator, a second actuator and a suspension-setting adjustment unit. The first actuator is rotatably mounted to the suspension tube attachment structure. The second actuator is rotatably mounted to the suspension tube attachment structure to rotate independent of rotation of the first actuator. The suspension-setting adjustment unit is operatively coupled to the first and second actuators. The suspension-setting adjustment unit adjusts a first suspension setting in response to rotation of the first actuator by using rotational movement of the suspension-setting adjustment unit. The suspension-setting adjustment unit adjusts a second suspension setting in response to rotation of the second actuator by using axial movement of the suspension-setting adjustment unit.
Abstract:
A bicycle seat tube assembly and seat post can be arranged to reduce vibrations that originate at the bicycle wheel and are transmitted to the rider of the bicycle. Desirably, a saddle is configured to be supported by a seat post which connects to a bicycle frame at the seat tube assembly. An open cavity can be formed between the seat tube assembly and the seat post. The open cavity can be configured to allow the system to act as a spring. Further, spring stiffness can be adjusted to reduce vibrations and increase damping.
