  • Publication number: 20230406443
    Abstract: A front fork (1) of the present invention includes: a fork main body (2) having a vehicle body side tube (3) and an axle side tube (4); a cap (5) placed in the vehicle body side tube (3); a cylinder (6) provided inside the axle side tube (4); a rod (7) inserted into the cylinder (6) so as to be movable in an axial direction; an electric device (6) mounted inside the cylinder (6); an electric wire (9) connected to the electric device (8); a suspension spring (10) biasing the fork main body (2) in an extending direction, and an adjuster (11) capable of adjusting a support position of a spring seat (12). The electric wire (9) is drawn from the cap (5) at a position misaligned from an axial center line of the fork main body (2) to an outside of the fork main body (2). An operational portion (17) of the adjuster (11) is provided in the cap (5) at a position misaligned from the axial center line (A).

  • Patent number: 8931605
    Abstract: A fluid pressure damper is provided with a damper main body composed of an outer tube and an inner tube, a bottom member for sealing a bottom side opening of the damper main body, a suspension spring and a damper. The damper includes a cylinder storing a working fluid inside. The cylinder is inserted into the inner tube and fixed to the bottom member by being sandwiched between a head member fixed to a joint member coupled to the inner tube and the bottom member. The joint member includes a stopper member with the inner periphery of which the head member is threadably engaged, and a pin member which couples the stopper member to the inner periphery of the inner tube. The suspension spring is supported by the stopper member.

  • Patent number: 7574326
    Abstract: A CPU generates the reference value (root mean squared value) of sound level and outputs it to a DSP, the DSP generates a measured value of sound level (root mean squared value), and compares thus-generated measured value of sound level (root mean squared value) with the reference value (root mean squared value) of sound level received from the CPU, and outputs a signal expressing the result of comparison to a display device, to thereby enable comparison of the measured value of sound level (root mean squared value) with the reference value (root mean squared value) of sound level, every time the sampling takes place in synchronization with the sampling frequency in the A/D converter.

  • Patent number: 4290037
    Abstract: A flat electromagnetic relay which includes a base member having at least two projections extending from a flat surface thereof. At least one hole (or indent), fitting a pertinent one of the projections, is formed in each supporting block that holds a contact, yoke, a hinging spring, or the like. These and similar members are successively stacked on the surface of the base member, with the projections fitted through the holes in the supporting blocks. The free ends of the respective projections are then deformed to secure and hold the components in position. A contact actuating card is put in place after the stack of contact holding blocks is assembled and locked in position. The block through which a contact carrying leaf spring is molded preferably has an end surface formed at an angle such that a portion of the leaf spring may be subsequently bent to extend substantially perpendicular to the remainder of the leaf spring, thereby forming a solder terminal.
