Patent number: 7316409Abstract: A front fork of a bicycle, which has damping function, has a lower fork having a closed bottom. An upper fork tube is inserted into the lower fork for reciprocation relative to the lower fork, which has a nozzle at a top thereof. Oil is received in a space between the lower fork and the upper fork tube. An air chamber is formed in a space between a surface of the oil and the nozzle, which a gas is issued therein and a pressure of the gas is greater than an atmospheric pressure, and a damping device, which is mounted at a bottom of the upper fork tube and under the surface of the oil, has multiple, variable oil flow paths through which oil passes as the upper and lower fork member reciprocate to provide various damping characteristics dependent on the relative speed or impact the fork members experience with respect to each other.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2005Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Spinner Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Leo Chen

Patent number: 7134534Abstract: A front fork for a vehicle includes an upper front fork tube, a lower front fork tube movably coupled to the upper front fork tube, a fluid contained in the upper and lower front fork tubes, and a damper fixedly sealedly mounted inside the upper front fork tube. The damper has a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, a through hole in communication with the fluid inlet, and a blocking member movably mounted in the fluid inlet for regulating upward flowing rate of the fluid from the lower front fork tube into the upper front fork tube through the fluid inlet and the through hole upon movement of the upper front fork tube relative to the lower front fork tube.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2004Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Spinner Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hui-Hsiung Chen

Patent number: 7063343Abstract: Disclosed is a front fork damper installed in a bicycle front fork formed of a fork pipe, a bottom case coupled and axially movable relative to the bottom case, and a hydraulic fluid filled in between the bottom case and the fork pipe. The front fork damper is joined to the bottom end of the fork pipe to buffer movement of the bottom case relative to the fork pipe in such a manner that the hydraulic fluid passes upwards through the front fork damper rapidly at a high flow rate, and passes downwards through the front fork damper slowly at a low flow rate.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2005Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: Spinner Industry Co., LtdInventor: Leo Chen
