Patent number: 10005509Abstract: A bicycle seat cushion lifting and adjusting device is disposed on an outer side of a piston rod inside a hydraulic cylinder and sheathed with an elastic member. The elastic member is compressed by an oil inside the cylinder into a compress status in a room temperature environment. In a low temperature environment, the volume of the oil is decreased, and the elastic member resumes its original status to fill up the space of the cylinder caused by the decreased volume of the oil, to maintain a stable oil pressure inside the cylinder. When the seat cushion lifting and adjusting device is used in a low temperature or room temperature environment, the height of the seat cushion can be adjusted successfully to maintain a stable use of the bicycle seat cushion lifting and adjusting device.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2016Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Taiwan Hodaka Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Black Tsai

Patent number: 9981713Abstract: A suspension device of a bicycle front fork is installed in a head tube of a bicycle handlebar. The suspension device includes: a cylinder with a bottom fixed to a base of the bicycle front fork and a top passed into the head tube; a piston rod with a top fixed to an inner wall of the head tube and a bottom having a piston and extended into the cylinder; a spring device coupled to the piston rod and having a force to push the piston rod away from the cylinder. The cylinder below the piston has an air chamber communicated with an intake valve of the base. The air pressure of air chamber may be adjusted to adjust the buffering pressure of the spring device, so that a user may adjust the shocking pressure of the front fork.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2016Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Taiwan Hodaka Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Black Tsai

Patent number: 9957008Abstract: A bicycle seatpost structure mainly provided with a shock absorber includes a sealed chamber, a buffer element and a gas. The gas is filled in the sealed chamber to change a gas pressure in the sealed chamber. The buffer element is elastic and installed in the sealed chamber for providing an upward elastic support force to an up tube of the seatpost. When a rider sitting on the saddle presses at the saddle, a shock damping force is produced, and the shock damping force and flexibility may be adjusted by the gas pressure and changed anytime according to the rider's body weight or preference.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2017Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Taiwan Hodaka Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Black Tsai

Patent number: 9878754Abstract: A height adjusting device for a bicycle seat post provides an up-down adjust unit. All the oil-flow control elements of the height adjusting device are arranged inside the up-down adjust unit. The oil flows between the valve port and the oil-block plate are blocked by both the oil-block plate and the valve port touching tightly in an up-down engaging manner. By the structure, what repairing the oil-flow control elements needs is to replace the up-down adjust unit when the oil-flow control elements are out of work. Therefore, it is convenient to repair and assemble. The valve port and the oil-block plate are arranged up and down so that they may touch each other closely in surfaces engaging. Thus, it provides good oil-blocking effects. Besides, the oil-block plate receives no shear stress occurring in the prior art generated from suddenly pressing down the seat. Therefore, it has a long service life.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Taiwan Hodaka Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Black Tsai

Patent number: 9168972Abstract: A control device, for the rear shock absorber of a bicycle, includes a first air chamber, a second air chamber, a third air chamber, an auxiliary air chamber, and a sliding rod. An air piston is arranged inside one of the first, second and third air chambers. However, those air chambers are respectively provided with an air hole communicating with the auxiliary air chamber. The sliding rod is configured with air tight rings, which are arranged top-to-bottom and tightly touch the inner wall of the auxiliary air chamber. Moreover, the sliding rod is provided with grooves between the air tight rings, so that the axially movement of the sliding rod may manage the first, second and third air chambers to be disconnected or to communicate with one other via the grooves to adjust the damping coefficient of the rear shock absorber.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2014Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Taiwan Hodaka Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventor: Black Tsai
