    摘要: A high efficiency bicycle front fork suspension system in which the front fork and wheel assembly are isolated from the remaining parts of the bicycle frame by a leading, 3-point linkage arrangement configured to produce a trailing link action at the wheel. The suspension system, in its preferred configuration, includes one or more fluid logic, rotary dampers and one or more high performance elastomeric or conventional spring elements carried in rear stub or shortened fork blades.

    摘要: A high efficiency all terrain bicycle or motorcycle tire having a tread design in which spaced tread blocks are arranged in circumferential rows and overlapped to allow a smooth shift in load from one tread block to another in different circumferential rows with a minimum of casing hysteresis and at the same time provide a low rotating mass, low rolling resistance, high cornering adhesion with high consistency across differing types of ground conditions, high motive and stopping traction. The tread blocks in the different rows have shapes, spacings and orientations which createa plurality of tortous paths for flow of material without excessive constricting of flow in any one spot.

    摘要: A light weight aluminum bicycle fork with positive feel and improved control in rough conditions, and is stiffer in torsional stiffness, fore and aft stiffness and side-to-side stiffness and has a higher overall rigidity than prior art forks. A large diameter steering tube has a bearing raceway seat formed therein and a very large diameter head tube has a corresponding bearing raceway seat formed in the lowered end thereof to receive, by way of a press-fit, aircraft-type torque tube bearings. An upper bearing assembly is seated in a raceway seat formed in the upper end of the head tube. Adhesive is used to maintain the bearings in position and prevent their loosening. A pair of large diameter crown miter tubes are welded to the lower end of the steering tube and a pair of large diameter, tapered, round blade tubes are welded to the crown miter tubes and have dropouts welded to the lower ends of the blades. A one-piece aluminum bar, neck and large diameter stem is provided. A tightening wedge and the stem have complementary camming surfaces which are at a shallow angle.

    摘要: This invention relates to front fork, telescoping type suspension systems for bicycles. The main focus of the invention is the brake bridge assembly, the fork crown assembly and the joinder of these assemblies to form the fork suspension. The brake bridge assembly serves two main functions: 1) it provides a stiff structural connection between the right and left telescoping struts, to reduce wheel wobble during high speed wheel impacts, and 2) it provides a structural support for the brake cable stop. The invention provides for increased stiffness and lower stresses in the brake bridge, which translates into improved directional stability for the front wheel, less displacement for the brake cable stop .(when the brake loads are applied) and improved fatigue life for the assembly. It also provides for a simpler and less expensive means for mounting the brake bridge to the fork assembly. The invention also encompasses the fork crown producing a lightweight structure with high torsional and bending rigidity. The connections of the stanchions to the crown are achieved through a variety of methods including, (a) interference fit and bonding, (b) collet assembly and (c) “pinch-bolt” connections.

    摘要: A method of making a bicycle front fork of molded composite laminates of fiber in a resin matrix, the front fork including a steerer portion, a tubular crown portion, a pair of tubular blade portions. Each has upper ends joined by said crown to the steerer, respectively, and lower ends adapted to receive dropouts. According to the invention, the front fork is molded in two substantially mirror image halves having mutually congruent joining surfaces in said steerer portion.

    摘要: Improved cable guide for bicycle frames which has been found useful for improving the fatigue life of light weight bicycle frames and other stressed tubular structures. One or more welding or brazing-free dimple/bulkhead forming deformations produce strategically reduced stiffness zones so as to reduce peak stresses. The cable guide system also offers an improved method for routing control cables through the frame structure. A plastic cable nozzle insert is disclosed along with pyramid-shaped external dimples and contiguous bulkheads.

    摘要: The frame of a racing type bicycle is made very rigid to increase the power transmission efficiency and to improve the handling and riding characteristics. The preferred configuration uses large diameter tubing in aluminum alloy to achieve a lighter, stronger and much more rigid frame than prior art.
