  • Patent number: 7793958
    Abstract: Device includes plates which are connected by an axle that extends through a guiding piece and a ball joint element positioned at the ends of a column tube. Rotating elements are disposed in the plates and enable same to rotate around the axle which is blocked in rotation by the guiding piece. The guiding piece has a concave spherical surface coupled to the convex surface of the eccentric which is equipped with a bore that is off-centre in relation to the vertical axis of the spherical surfaces and a flat surface which is perpendicular to the axis of the bore. An eccentric pivots in the bore and on the surface via a cylinder and a surface. The eccentric is equipped with a bore that is off-centre in relation to the cylinder. The combined reverse rotation of the eccentrics enables the assembly to pivot around the axis.

  • Publication number: 20060113745
    Abstract: Device for fixing the front end assembly of a motorcycle includes an upper plate, a lower plate, a column shaft linking the two plates by enclosing the chassis column tube. The bearings originally mounted are replaced by an assembly of parts and the swivel joint element. The rotating elements are placed in the plate and the plate respectively to allow them to rotate on the column shaft locked in rotation by the part. The groove of the part and the cylindrical surfaces of parts with axis perpendicular to a median plane of the vehicle and passing through the center of the swivel joint allow the entire device to pivot about the axis to offset the column shaft with the axis of the tube thereby modifying the caster angle. The rotating element mounted in an oblong configuration enables the offset on the plate to be modified and by tilting about the axis and tilting of the plate about the axis enables the value of the ground caster distance and the inclination of the suspension element to be modified.
