A suspension apparatus for use in a vehicle including a first liquid passage; a first connection portion; a first accumulator which is connected to the hydraulic suspension device via the first connection portion and the first liquid passage; a second liquid passage; a second connection portion; a second accumulator which is connected to the first liquid passage via the second connection portion and the second liquid passage; and a liquid-flow control device which controls a flow of a hydraulic ...

A suspension device can be used to support a musical instrument for display. The suspension device has a holder and a mounting portion. The holder may be a clamp, is able to clamp and hold a musical instrument in position. The mounting portion has a stationary hook and a movable hook. The movable hook is connected with a resilient element that provides a force to pull the movable hook to move toward the stationary hook and therefor engages stably two support bars or support members at any interv...

A system is provided for suspending a plurality of line array loudspeakers. The suspension system includes a rigging bar having an engaging member, such as a pivotal member, positioned near one end of the rigging bar. The engaging member includes a free end capable of extending outward past the end of the rigging bar in which the engaging member is positioned. The end of the rigging bar opposite the pivotal member is designed to releasably receive an engaging member of an adjacent rigging bar. T...

An improved suspension apparatus and method for damping vibration arising in liquid vortex mixers of the type pivotably supporting a mixing frame assembly and suspending the assembly by at least one spring for mixing a liquid coating using both spin and orbital rotational movements. A pivoting support is located between the mixing frame assembly and a base. A damper in the form of an annular ring is used to damp pivoting movement of the mixing frame assembly. Various pivoting mounts may be used ...

A bicycle suspension has a suspension frame unit and a shock absorber. The suspension frame unit comprises a pair of parallel triangular members each including a horizontal rear fork arm and a pair of inclined stays with their upper joined portion disposed in a space defined in the main frame of a bicycle. The shock absorber has its one end pivoted to the joined portion of the inclined stays and the other end pivoted to a portion of the main frame a little rearward of the steering head of the bi...

To achieve a low wheel spring rate at low wheel loads and a higher wheel spring rate at higher wheel loads, each wheel of a rear-wheel suspension is equipped with a torsion bar spring which cooperates by way of a pressure rod connected with the wheel carrier. An adjusting device is connected with the torsion bar spring to act upon an additional spring element which can take up a controlled elastic position or a blocked position.

The proposed suspension insulator is intended to ensure insulated suspension of power line wires to cross-arms of power line supports. The insulator comprises two flexible, arched insulation members rigidly attached to each other, with their convex sides being on the outside, like in a spring suspension (rigging). The fittings intended for the mechanical connection of the insulator to the cross-arm of a support and for suspending the wire to the insulator are mounted in the middle of the insulat...

An improved suspension system characterized by an axle, a leaf-spring assembly having a spring member extended transversely of the axle and mounted thereon, and an air-bag assembly interposed between the frame of a vehicle and one end of the leaf-spring assembly. The air-bag assembly includes a bracket disposed above the leaf-spring assembly and affixed to the frame, a pivotal arm having one end connected to the bracket in coplanar relation with the leaf-spring assembly, an expansible air bag fo...

An improved snowmobile suspension system to facilitate fast cornering is described. The improved suspension system comprises throttle-independent tilt means to remove at least a portion of the forward part of the tread of the snowmobile to support said snowmobile on the front guide skis and the rear of the track propulsion system. A particularly useful device comprises lift means which lifts the forward part of the track. Pneumatic or hydraulic means are preferred lift means and may be actuated ...

A suspension includes a load beam, a flexure fixed to the load beam for determining a flying attitude of a head slider provided with at least one head element, the flexure having a slider supporting section for supporting the head slider, and a load adjustment mechanism formed at the slider supporting section of the flexure, for adjusting a load imposed on the head slider.
