Abstract: A recumbent cycling apparatus is provided that includes a frame structure, wheels rotatably attached to supporting the frame structure, and a central frame element configured to absorb and reduce the forces transmitted through the frame structure to a user. The frame structure has a front frame section and a back frame section that are substantially parallel to the ground. The central frame element is a curved elongated member composed of chromoly steel that is attached to the front frame section and the back frame section and extends therebetween. The central frame element is configured to allow the front frame section and the back frame section to move substantially independently in response forces exerted on the wheels. The central frame element is disposed in a substantially vertical plane above the back frame section and the front frame section and is substantially perpendicular thereto. A pair of recumbent seats are mounted on the back frame section in a side-by-side relationship. The cycling apparatus also has a control assembly configured to turn at least one of said plurality of wheels and a pedal-powered drive assembly to propel the cycling apparatus.

Abstract: The quick-release arrangement includes a coupler adapted to slidably engage a braked upper drive shaft and to slidably engage a lower drive shaft. The lower drive shaft is coupled to an associated jack leg such that when the upper drive shaft, the coupler, and the lower drive shaft are coupled together, the jack leg is braked. A spring urges the coupler into engagement with the lower drive shaft. A cam member supports the downwardly-biased coupler and permits the coupler to be cammed upward against the spring bias force such that the coupler slides along the upper drive shaft and, thus, out of engagement with the lower drive shaft. When it is desired to release the jack leg from the braking control of the upper drive shaft to thereby permit rapid lowering of the jack leg to the ground, a cam lever is used to easily overcome the spring bias force and effect camming. Inadvertent camming is prevented because the spring bias force is not overcome by normal vibration, jolting or jarring. Braking control of the upper drive shaft can be effected in various manners. For example, the upper drive shaft can be coupled to a motor that provides an inherent brake mechanism. Alternatively, a mechanical braking mechanism can provide braking control to the upper drive shaft such that operation of the cam member to disengage the upper drive shaft from the lower drive shaft releases the lower drive shaft from the braking control and permits the jack leg to be rapidly lowered to the ground. The present invention provides such a mechanical braking mechanism that cooperates with the quick-release arrangement for use when necessary or desired.

Abstract translation: 快速释放装置包括耦合器，其适于可滑动地接合制动的上驱动轴并且可滑动地接合下驱动轴。 下驱动轴联接到相关的千斤顶腿，使得当上驱动轴，联接器和下驱动轴联接在一起时，千斤顶腿被制动。 弹簧促使联轴器与下驱动轴接合。 凸轮构件支撑向下偏置的联接器并允许联接器克服弹簧偏压力向上凸起，使得联接器沿着上驱动轴滑动，并因此与下驱动轴脱离接合。 当需要从上部驱动轴的制动控制中释放千斤顶腿，从而允许将千斤顶腿快速降低到地面时，使用凸轮杆来容易克服弹簧偏置力并实现凸轮。 由于弹簧偏压力不能被正常的振动，颠簸或震动所克服，所以防止了意外的凸轮。 上驱动轴的制动控制可以以各种方式进行。 例如，上驱动轴可以联接到提供固有制动机构的马达。 或者，机械制动机构可以向上驱动轴提供制动控制，使得凸轮构件的操作以使上驱动轴与下驱动轴脱离，从而降低驱动轴的制动控制，并允许千斤顶腿快速 降到地面。 本发明提供了一种机械制动机构，其与必要或期望的快速释放装置配合使用。

Abstract: Disclosed is a recumbent bicycle having a frame with at least one tubular member having a lumen. Mounted to the frame are a rear wheel assembly and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly can include a first gear, a second gear, and a chain that extends from the first gear to the second gear and through the lumen of the at least one tubular member. Pedals and crank arms can mount to the second gear, which is slidable relative to the first gear to vary the position of the second gear relative to a seat mounted to the frame. A suspension assembly can mount a pair of front wheels to the frame at a location intermediate of the first portion and the second portion of the frame. The bicycle enables riders of different leg lengths to use the recumbent bicycle, while the suspension assembly cushions the rider during use.

Abstract: A camper jack for mounting on a camper body, the jack having an extensible leg projectable from a hollow jack housing and attached to the camper body along the length of the housing. A piston cooperating in a cylinder in the extensible leg extends the leg from the housing. A hydraulic fluid reservoir is formed in the extensible leg in an annular space surrounding the cylinder. A valve block is coextensive with the extensible leg at the foot of the leg and contains the valves and pumping piston for the jack. Valving in the valve block permits manual extension and retraction of the extensible leg. Grooves are provided in a novel needle valve allowing control of the rate of flow of the hydraulic fluid. Pumping motion is controlled by a pump handle receiver.
