BICYCLE HEADSET
20240286704 · 2024-08-29 · ·

A bicycle headset includes a first casing and a second casing for being engaged with a head tube and a fork of a bicycle, respectively. The first casing has an axial direction. A bearing abuts between the first casing and the second casing. A first restricting member, having a first restricting surface, is connected to the second casing to rotate along with the second casing. A second restricting member, having a second restricting surface, is connected to the first casing. The restricting members move away from or toward each other in the axial direction. An elastic member abuts between the first casing and the second restricting member or between the second casing and the first restricting member and provides a force in the axial direction for urging one of the restricting members to move toward the other to allow the two restricting surfaces abut against each other, thereby forcing the fork to steer back.

Steering system of saddle-ride type vehicle

A steering system of a saddle-ride type vehicle includes a front fork that includes a steering shaft at the upper end and supports a front wheel at the lower end. A steering arm is attached to the steering shaft, a steering force transmit member is turnably supported by a steering stem that is arranged in a body frame, and a steering system link that joins the steering arm and the steering force transmit member. Engage sections are arranged between the steering force transmit member and the steering assist force transmit member. The engage sections allow the steering force transmit member and a steering assist force transmit member to be engaged with each other so that the steering assist force transmit member is turned around the steering stem accompanying turning of the steering force transmit member.
