  • Patent number: 8480170
    Abstract: A saddle-positioning apparatus includes a first positioning unit for positioning a saddle in a first dimension, a second positioning unit for positioning the saddle in a second dimension, and a lever connected to both of the first and second positioning units. The lever is movable from a neutral position in a direction to move the first positioning unit from a locking position to a releasing position to allow movement of the saddle in the first dimension. The lever is movable from the neutral position in an opposite direction to move the second positioning unit from a locking position to a releasing position to allow movement of the saddle in the second dimension.

  • Patent number: 7147584
    Abstract: A locking gear is a differential device configured between the main flywheel that is attached with a differential and one end of a spindle. The locking gear includes a protruded annulet that is configured at the outside of the main flywheel, and several radial through holes on the protruded annulet, and several grooves configured at one end of the spindle that will aim at each radial through hole on the protruded annulet respectively when the spindle rotates to a predetermined angle, and beads that are placed in each radial through hole. Also, there is a clutch body that sleeves one end of the spindle, and the end of its central through hole forms a small expansion section and a large expansion section, and the aperture of the small expansion section right gears the outside diameter of the protruded annulet, therefore the beads can be fixed internally.
