FRONT FORKS FOR BICYCLES

Front forks for bicycles are described herein. An example front fork includes a leg including an upper tube and a lower tube. The upper tube and the lower tube are configured in a telescopic arrangement. The upper tube and the lower tube define an interior region that is sealed and contains a volume of air in the lower tube. The front fork also includes a valve coupled to the upper tube at or near a top end of the upper tube. A flow path is formed between the volume of air in the lower tube and the valve such that when the valve is opened, pressure in the lower tube is equalized with atmospheric pressure.

Provided are an anti-vibration device manufacturing method, a stopper for an anti-vibration device, and an anti-vibration device all of which prevent easy separation between the stopper and the bracket while improving the ease of fastening the stopper and the bracket together. The anti-vibration device manufacturing method is a method for obtaining the anti-vibration device. The stopper can be formed, by applying a coating agent C, which is configured to be peelable after solidification, to at least a bulging portion (12) of a positioning protrusion (10) of the stopper. The anti-vibration device can be formed, by pressing the bulging portion (12) into a positioning hole A1 formed in the bracket 5, so that the bulging portion (12) is prevented from detaching from the bracket (5), using the stopper after solidification of the coating agent C.

Sealing device and damper for hydraulic equipment

A sealing device for hydraulic equipment according to the invention includes an outer member having an annular shape, an inner member inserted into the outer member, and a seal ring housed in an annular groove disposed in the outer circumference of the inner member and abutting on the outer member to prevent a liquid from passing through a gap between the outer member and the inner member. The annular groove of the inner member has a bottom portion including a recess for restraining axial displacement of the seal ring relative to the annular groove.
