A front wheel mounting for bicycles consisting of a pair of arms adapted to be pivoted at their rearward ends to lower ends of the usual fork legs of the bicycle for vertical pivotal movement, the front cycle wheel being rotatably mounted between said arms at selective points along the lengths thereof, and a pair of angled struts each pivoted at its lower end to one of said arms at selective points along the length thereof, and at its upper end to the associated fork leg in spaced relation above the connection of said arm thereto, said struts being resiliently yieldable in compression whereby to provide a spring mounting for said front cycle wheel.
A motorcycle braking mechanism includes a brake plate that is rotatably mounted on a front axle and a torque arm is secured to the brake plate. A rod has one end pivotally connected to the torque arm and the other end is pivotally connected to a clamp that is secured onto the upper fork tube so that when braking action is applied to the front brake, the brake plate applies a torquing force to the torque arm which is translated into a linear force via the rod thereby reducing the downward movement of the fork tube relative to the slider.
The description relates to a braking dive compensator for single-track vehicles. The front wheel (7) with its axle (13) and a brake anchor plate (1) are arranged on a trailing link (4). The link (4) is supported via a sprung component (8) on one fork (3) and, on braking, a force counteracting the braking dive force is taken from the brake anchor plate (1) and the fork (3). Between the brake anchor plate (1) and the fork (3) is articulated a pushrod (2) which assumes an acute angle (.alpha.) with the longitudinal axis of the link (4) under tension.
Adjustable riding toys are provided in both bicycle and tricycle forms. The bicycle and tricycle each have the same front end with only differing back ends. Each back end connects to the front end. One back end has two wheels, while the other back end has one wheel. Methods of manufacturing and distributing the embodiments of the bicycle and tricycle are also provided.
Adjustable riding toys are provided in both bicycle and tricycle forms. The bicycle and tricycle each have an adjustable height axle connection. Multiple axle apertures are provided on mounting arms for adjustably receiving an axle. Methods of adjusting the bicycle and tricycle are also provided.
Adjustable riding toys are provided in both bicycle and tricycle forms. The tricycle and bicycle have at least one wave ride wheel allowing a rider to change between a smooth ride and an up and down ride. Both rear wheels on the tricycle are provided with synchronized wave ride wheels which create a side to side wobble of the riding toy. Methods of adjusting the bicycle and tricycle are also provided.
