Abstract: A tension sensing assembly for a seat restraint system in a vehicle includes a housing and a movable mechanism disposed in the housing. The tension sensing assembly also includes at least one spring disposed in the housing and cooperable with the movable mechanism. The tension sensing assembly includes at least one magnet disposed in the housing and a Hall effect sensor disposed in the housing and cooperable with the at least one magnet. The tension sensing assembly further includes a cable extending through the housing and cooperable with the movable mechanism to move the movable mechanism to deflect the at least one spring. The movable mechanism moves the at least one magnet relative to the Hall effect sensor to change an output of the Hall effect sensor to indicate a tension level in the seat restraint system when the at least one spring is deflected.

Abstract: A two-wheeled vehicle has a frame having a wheel support member at the rear of the frame. A rear wheel is spring-supported at the wheel support member. A first lever is rotatably mounted by a first rotary bearing at the frame and by a second rotary bearing at the wheel support member. A second lever is rotatably mounted at an upper end portion of the wheel support member and the frame, respectively. A spring element is rotatably mounted at the frame and/or the wheel support member and/or the first lever and/or the second lever, respectively. The second rotary bearing is positioned above the axle of the rear wheel and is positioned at the wheel support member, when viewed from the axle of the rear wheel toward a front end of the vehicle, at a distance of between 0.045 to 0.8 times the length of the wheel support member from the axis of the rear wheel.
