Vehicle Terrain-Tracking Systems
The present disclosure relates to terrain-tracking or vehicle suspension systems that include travel at least one of the front or the rear of the vehicle. Various embodiments include a suspension above the vehicle (upper suspension). Embodiments include a suspension or travel in at least one of the upper vehicle (rear and/or front), middle vehicle (rear and/or front), or below vehicle (rear and/or front). Various embodiments included a combination thereof.
TRANSPORT DEVICE
A conveying apparatus includes an outer casing for disposing the conveying apparatus on a traveling structure, a storage case that is disposed inside the outer casing and that allows a stored article to be placed therein and removed therefrom from above, a plurality of stretchable elastic members that are spaced apart from each other in a crosswise direction and each of which includes a bridging portion that bridges between front and rear ends of the outer casing in a traveling direction of the traveling structure, and a plurality of suspension devices that are spaced apart from each other at least in a fore-aft direction and each of which includes an upper end assuming a supported portion that is supported slidably on the elastic member and a lower end assuming a supporting portion that supports the storage case.
Inertial sensor attachment structure and motorcycle
The invention is directed to an inertial sensor attachment structure including: a floating bracket which is fixed to a vehicle body frame via a vibration absorbing member; an inertial sensor attached to a first attachment surface of the floating bracket; and an ABS unit attached to a second attachment surface of the floating bracket.
ELECTRIC KICK SCOOTER WITH TILTING REAR AXLE WITH TWO WHEELS
An electric kick scooter, of a type uncommonly stable and easy-to-handle, comprising two back wheels supported by a tilting cross member; and an intermediate support hinged to the frame through a first hinge with a first hinging axis (X) parallel to a rotation axis (Z) of the back wheels; the tilting cross member being hinged to the intermediate support through a second hinge with second hinging axis (Y) orthogonal to the rotation axis (Z) of the back wheels, the first and/or the second hinge being made as a fixed profile introduced in a hollow profile with interposition of elastic blocks.
BICYCLE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS
Example bicycle suspension components are described herein. An example suspension component includes a first tube and a second tube configured in a telescopic arrangement and defining an interior space, and a damper in the interior space. The damper includes a damper body defining a chamber, a damper member in the chamber, and a shaft coupled to the damper member. The example suspension component also includes an isolator coupling the shaft to a bottom end of the second tube, the isolator including an elastomeric member to absorb vibrations.
Straddled vehicle
A swing arm extends rearwardly from an engine, and a pair of side cases is arranged leftwardly and rightwardly of the swing arm. The swing arm is supported at a body frame by a single rear shock absorber. The engine is supported at the body frame by a plurality of vibration absorbing support members. Each vibration absorbing support member has a structure in which a rubber member is arranged between an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder. The engine is attached to the inner cylinder with use of an engine support shaft, and the body frame is attached to the outer cylinder with use of an engine bracket. The rubber member has projections being in contact with an inner surface of the outer cylinder and recesses not being in contact with the inner surface of the outer cylinder. The swing arm is rigidly and pivotally connected to the engine.
SNOWMOBILE SKI DAMPENER
An improved snowmobile ski dampener for dampening articulation between a steering spindle and a snowmobile ski. The ski dampener may be constructed of an elastomeric material and include one or more progressive surfaces that progressively come in contact with a base surface of the steering spindle as progressively increased compressive loads are applied between the steering spindle and snowmobile ski. As the progressive surfaces come in contact with the base surface, the shape factor of the ski dampener may change (e.g., increase), reducing compressive strain for a given compressive stress. Various design and material characteristics including width, shape of the progressive surface, and durometer and bulk modulus of the elastomeric material may be selected to provide various performance characteristics such as dampening effect, impact absorption, approach angle, initial flex force, and service life.
