  • Patent number: 10690214
    Abstract: A shield is slidably mounted to a cylinder of a shock absorber and fastened to a piston shaft of the shock absorber. The shield may include a circumferential slot that fits over a disk formed on the piston shaft to secure the shield to the piston shaft. The shield may include a partial cylinder that extends over a point of entry of the piston shaft into the cylinder. For example, the shield may have a cross section that is a 200 to 270 degree arc. The shield may include a guide along an interior surface that engages a slider secured to the cylinder. The guide may be a slot and the slider is a post seated in the slot.

  • Patent number: 10480618
    Abstract: A guard defines an inner seat comprising an open channel shaped to receive a shackle and extend partially around the shackle. The guard further includes an outer seat positioned opposite the open channel and shaped to support a strap passing through the shackle. A tether is fastened to the guard and defines a fastener for securing to a closure pin passing through the shackle. In some embodiments, the fastener comprises a hole formed in the tether and a barb formed on the tether offset from the hole. In other embodiments, a barb on the tether inserts through a hole in the closure pin or a cup on the tether is positioned over an end of the closure pin. A hooked or straight tether may also be used to implement the fastener.
