Abstract: The present invention is an adjustable seat post adaptor assembly used in conjunction with bicycles and like cycles for supporting seats. The adjustable seat post adaptor assembly has an independent adjustment where a rider can adjust the seat in a horizontal direction. The adjustable seat post adaptor assembly also has an easily accessible adjustment for allowing the seat to be independently tilted in a vertical direction. The assembly has a calibration scale for assisting the rider to tell the previously set tilting position.

Abstract: A shock-absorbing apparatus for use in the body frames of light-weight pedal-powered or motor-powered land or water surface vehicles and sports and exercising equipment including bicycles, mountain bikes, dirt bikes, off-road bikes, all terrain bikes, exercise bikes, motor-bikes, motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, snow-scooters, snow-mobiles, jet-skis and the like. The shock-absorbing apparatus comprises a telescoping assembly including a tube and a compression rod slidably engaged coaxially, and a compression elastomer assembly including resilient and deformable compression elastomers and rigid multi-function sleeves. The elastomers are placed coaxially between the tube and the compression rod, and interconnected by the sleeves. Each multi-function sleeve has a cylindrical sidewall defining a hollow chamber for interconnecting through press-fit engagement the elastomers in a stacked series and regulating the elastomers to prevent them from twisting or snaking when they are compressed.

The shock-absorbing apparatus comprises a telescoping assembly including a tube and a compression rod slidably engaged coaxially, and a compression elastomer assembly including an elongated resilient and deformable compression elastomer and rigid multi-function bands. The elastomer is placed coaxially between the tube and the compression rod. Each multi-function band has a cylindrical sidewall defining a hollow chamber for fitting onto the elongated elastomer through press-fit engagement and regulating the elastomer to prevent it from twisting or snaking when it is compressed.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and a method for attaching a bar end to an end portion of a steerer bar to construct a bicycle handlebar system, where the end portion of the steerer bar is a thin wall hollow tubing with two opposite surfaces including an exterior surface and an interior surface. The present invention bar end assembly includes a bar end having fastening assembly engageable to one of the two opposite surfaces of the hollow tubing for attaching the bar end to the steerer bar, and an extended brace engageable to another one of the two opposite surfaces of the hollow tubing for supporting the hollow tubing, so that it will not be damaged by any stress exerted by the fastening assembly.

Abstract: Improved handlebars for bicycles, motorcycles, power vehicles such as two wheeled power vehicles and all terrain vehicles, including off road bicycles, motorcycles, dirt bikes, all terrain bicycles, all terrain vehicles and jet skis. The improved handlebars eliminate the need of a crossbar by increasing the diameter and sidewall thickness of the central section of the handlebars, and diminish the stiffness of the handlebars by decreasing the respective diameter and sidewall thickness of the two grip sections of the handlebars. The improved handlebars are incorporated with unique tapered sections and are manufactured through a process that causes greater amount of metal to be located in the widest diameter section of the handlebars, and smaller amount of metal to be located in the narrowest diameter section of the handlebars. The handlebars have a longer unsupported span than conventional handlebars, thereby providing more cushioning strength and greater steering control.

Abstract: Improved handlebars for power vehicles such as two wheeled vehicles and all terrain vehicles, and in particular to handlebars for off road motorcycles, dirt bikes, all terrain vehicles and jet skis. The improved design eliminates the requirement for a crossbar by designing handlebars that have a larger diameter central portion including the area where the handlebars are attached to the vehicle, and a unique tapered configuration wherein the handblebars are manufactured through a process that causes the same amount of metal to be located in the widest diameter portion of the handlebars as in the narrowest diameter portion of the handlebars. The handlebars have a longer unsupported span than conventional handlebars, thereby providing more cushioning strength and greater steering control.

Abstract: A portable apparatus for retaining a bicycle in the manner of a conventional bicycle repair stand, and which can be used in conjunction with a conventional sports rack attached to the roof of a car or van. The apparatus can be attached to the conventional bicycle sports rack which is attached to the roof of a car and therefore utilizes the car and the sports rack as the supporting body framework to hold and support a bicycle in any desired orientation. The apparatus comprises an elongated member whose exterior cross-sectional dimensions are slightly smaller than the interior cross-sectional dimensions of the elongated base of a conventional sports rack attached to the roof of a vehicle, and is fitted into the interior section of the elongated base of the sports rack and retained therein by a press fit. Additional portions attached to the elongated section support a clamping mechanism which can retain a portion of a bicycle such as the horizontal tube of the frame.
