REAR SUSPENSION FOR TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017790 titled 'REAR SUSPENSION FOR TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a bicycle rear suspension system based on a four-bar configuration. It includes various components such as an upper connecting member, a rear axle floating member, a lower connecting member, an upper shock actuation member, a pushrod member, and a damper member. The system utilizes pivotable couplings to connect these components in specific locations.

  • The upper shock actuation member is coupled to the front triangle of the bicycle frame through a pivotable coupling.
  • Another pivotable coupling connects a second location on the upper shock actuation member to a first location on the pushrod member.
  • A second location on the pushrod member is then coupled to a location on the lower connecting link member through another pivotable coupling.
  • The upper shock actuation member is also pivotably coupled to the damper member.

The geometries of these pivotable couplings and the design of the upper shock actuation member and pushrod member allow the leverage curve of the suspension to be defined independently of their kinematic traits. This results in improved rider feel and performance.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mountain bikes
  • Downhill bikes
  • Off-road bicycles

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved suspension performance
  • Enhanced rider comfort and control
  • Better handling on rough terrains

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved rider feel and performance
  • Enhanced shock absorption
  • Increased stability and control during rides

a bicycle rear suspension based on a four bar configuration comprises an upper connecting member, a rear axle floating member, a lower connecting member, an upper shock actuation member, a pushrod member, and a damper member. a pivotable coupling couples a first location on the upper shock actuation member to a location on the front triangle, another pivotable coupling couples a second location on the upper shock actuation member to a first location on the pushrod member, and another pivotable coupling couples a second location on the pushrod member to a location on the lower connecting link member. the upper shock actuation member is pivotably coupled to the damper member. the upper shock actuation member and the pushrod member and the geometries of their respective pivotable couplings allow the leverage curve for the suspension to be defined independently of their kinematic traits, thereby providing improved rider feel and/or performance.
