Patent number: 11428288Abstract: A leg assembly, and a shock absorption mechanism for a pole are provided. The shock absorption mechanism comprises a pole body and a leg assembly, wherein the leg assembly comprises a support leg, a tray surrounding the support leg, and a connecting sleeve for connecting the pole body inserting from the top of the support leg. When a bottom of the pole body is inserted into the connecting sleeve and tightly resists against the elastic limiting clamps, the elastic limiting clamps will be pushed outward and limited in the guiding slots of the support leg, so that the connecting sleeve with the pole body can move upward and downward relative to the support leg. There is a mounting space for the shock absorption spring between the support leg and the connecting sleeve, and the support leg has a trend of moving downward due to resistance from the shock absorption spring.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: NINGHAI XINGDA LEISURE PRODUCTS CO., LTD.Inventor: Jinxue Hu
