摘要: Disclosed herein is a process suitable for constructing a multiple stage air shock. The multiple stage air shock is unique among shocks in that the multiple stage design possesses qualities not available to other shock absorbers. The process includes a means for determining the compressed and extended lengths of the air shock based on the lengths of the parts for each stage. This means refers to one methodology and offers the air shock an extended length that is greater than twice its compressed length, an optimized extended length, and a construction capability based on adding stages. In particular, the extended length-compressed length relationship is a quality inherently unobtainable by current shock absorbers. The process also includes a means of determining the spring rate. This means refers to a second methodology and offers the capability to both set-up the air shock with a relatively linear spring rate and make the relatively linear spring rate more linear.

摘要: Disclosed herein is a single shock body equipped with the gas permeable internal floating piston. The gas permeable internal floating piston was specifically designed for installation in the multiple stage air shock, the gas permeable internal floating piston being disclosed in the parent application. The gas permeable internal floating piston automatically separates the oil from the gas within the shock body thereby significantly reducing the complexity and cost of manufacturing a shock absorber with the gas permeable internal floating piston. Also, separation is maintained during the operation of the shock throughout the shock's lifetime. The gas permeable internal floating piston can operate with oils derived from either petroleum or synthetic base stocks, additives, and various gases including dry air, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, helium, neon, and argon.

摘要: Disclosed herein is a report on a drivetrain specifically designed to operate in conjunction with the Extreme-Travel Independent Suspension System. In a prior disclosure, we introduced a drivetrain concept derived from the unique configuration of the suspension system. The concept defines several elements, one element is a gearbox that is fabricated into the frame, the gearbox being called the reverse power coupler. Other elements of the concept include a differential mounted offset power coupler and differential housing assemblies. The drivetrain cooperates with the suspension configuration of upper and lower leading and trailing links thereby retaining the suspension system's fundamental properties—handling quality like a double A-arm independent suspension system and travel and articulation capabilities similar to Ford's Twin I-Beam front suspension system. This report integrates the elements introduced in the prior disclosure with novel mechanistic features of the drivetrain. The features concentrate on the means by which power is transmitted from a differential housing to the wheels. Included in the features are the operations of the elements and the association of the elements with short and long axle shafts. The axle shafts serve as the principle conduits for transmitting power from one element to another.

摘要: The present invention is an air shock absorber having a multiple stage design. The design includes a first algorithm for determining the compressed and extended lengths of the air shock based on the lengths of the parts for each stage. The first algorithm offers the air shock an extended length that is greater than twice its compressed length, an optimized extended length, and a construction capability based on adding stages. In particular, the extended length-compressed length relationship is a quality inherently unobtainable by current shock absorbers. The design also includes a second algorithm for determining the spring rate. The second algorithm offers the capability to both set-up the air shock with a relatively linear spring rate and make the relatively linear spring rate more linear.

摘要: Disclosed herein is a system of steering and suspension linkages for a beam-type solid axle arrangement, the steering system designed to operate in conjunction with the suspension system without bumpsteer throughout suspension travel. Accurate steering throughout suspension travel is satisfied with mechanical linkages that include a unique flexible joint-mounted bellcrank. The suspension system comprises two pairs of links, each pair occupying opposite sides of a solid axle, this opposed configuration offering the axle centering capability of without the packaging constraints of a triangulated 4-link suspension system, thereby facilitating its installation on production-based front solid axle vehicles.

摘要: Disclosed herein is a novel chassis design that is functionally similar to the chassis associated with the suspension system, drivetrain, and steering system disclosed in prior applications. Based on a ladder-type structure, the novel chassis includes a frame that is constructed with a low slung middle section and high arched front and rear sections. This way, the powertrain is located in the middle section at the same level as are the suspension control link frame mounting points. In contrast the chassis associated with the prior applications is planar, the powertrain being located within the frame above the suspension control link frame mounting points. Since the powertrain directly impacts the center of gravity and since the suspension control link frame mounting points are located at the lowest level of the frame in both the present invention and cited applications, then the present invention improves upon the handling characteristics of the chassis associated with the prior applications by lowering the center of gravity while preserving ground clearance.
