Front suspension of the telescopic type with anti-dive effect
A front suspension (4) of the telescopic type with anti-dive effect, comprising at least one sheath (32) and at least one stem (36), housed and guided telescopically inside said sheath (32) according to a direction of the fork axis Z-Z, the suspension (4) comprising a foot (44) associated to the sheath (32) or to the stem (36) that rotatably supports a wheel spindle (44) of an associable front wheel (12) defining a rotation axis X-X, a braking device (52) for the associable front wheel (12), having a support (56) rotatably mounted with respect to the wheel spindle (44) so as to be able to oscillate about the rotation axis X-X. Between the support (56) of the braking device (52) and the foot (44) of the suspension (4) are interposed transfer means (64) of the braking force, exerted by the braking device (52), on an element (32, 36) between the sheath (32) and the stem (36) that does not support the foot (44). Said transfer means (64) comprise a cam (68) hinged to the foot (44) in a first hinge point (72), kinematically connected to the braking means, and mechanically connected to a portion of the suspension (4) integral with the element (32, 36) between the sheath (32) and the stem (36) that does not support (56) the foot (44) so as to transfer thereto, in the direction of the fork axis Z-Z, a part of the braking force.
Discoidal bicycle brake
A discoidal brake for a bicycle comprises a pair of discoids, each of which is mounted on a bicycle member laterally of a wheel rim, one on either side of the wheel. The discoid is pivotally mounted in levered relation on each pivot mount below adjacent and biased away from the wheel rim. A brake shoe is affixed to each discoid to allow camming of the brake shoe into the wheel rim facilitating braking. A control cable is affixed to a control member above the wheel with the control member being connected to the center of a yoke cable. The yoke cable is affixed to each discoid with yoke cable passed partway around the annular component on each discoid.

Brake system for a wheeled device
A brake system includes a wheel having a hub, a rim, spokes extending between the hub and rim, and a rod extending between the hub and rim. A helical spring surrounds the rod, with a fixed end attached to the hub and a free end movable along the longitudinal direction of the rod. A brake mass structure is attached to the free end of the helical spring and includes a pin structure. A main frame connects to the hub of the wheel. An extension structure extends from the main frame and includes a spacing segment and a hook segment having a groove configured to engage with the pin structure. When the wheel rotates, the brake mass structure moves away from the hub along the rod. At a speed threshold, the pin structure engages the groove of the hook segment to prevent acceleration of the wheel.
