Suspension for Handcycle

摘要

A suspension device for a handcycle has a first frame member and a second frame member pivotally coupled to the first frame member. A shock absorber is disposed between the first and second frame members. A lever assembly is disposed between the first and second frame members to transfer motion of the second frame member into the shock absorber. The lever assembly includes a lever pivotally coupled to the first frame member. The lever includes first and second arms coupled at an angle which allows motion of the second frame member to be directed into the shock absorber. The lever assembly is configured to transfer a vertical motion of the second frame member into non-vertical motion directed into the shock absorber. The suspension device further includes a third frame member. The first and second frame members are rotationally coupled to the third frame member.

主权项

1. A suspension device for a handcycle, comprising:
a handcycle axle including an outer shaft; a first handcycle frame member including an inner shaft, the inner shaft rotationally coupled to the outer shaft; a second handcycle frame member pivotally coupled to the first handcycle frame member; a shock absorber directly coupled to the first handcycle frame member; and a lever arm including a first end directly coupled to the second handcycle frame member and a second end directly coupled to the shock absorber, the lever arm pivotally coupled to the first handcycle frame member at a first pivot point between the first and second ends of the lever arm to transfer motion of the second frame member into the shock absorber.
