  • Publication number: 20210371041
    Abstract: A clearance packing assembly for a front fork of a bicycle has a ring set, a packing ring, and a locking ring. The ring seat has an outer threaded surface. The packing ring has an inner side surface engaging with the outer threaded surface of the screwing portion via an inner thread. The locking ring has an inner side surface engaging with the outer threaded surface of the screwing portion via an inner thread. By turning the locking ring to move toward the packing ring, the locking ring abuts against the packing ring. The clearance packing assembly is independent from a handlebar stem, a fork stem of the front fork and a head tube of a bicycle frame and can be widely used on different handlebar stems, so to adjust clearance between the head tube and the handlebar stem.

  • Patent number: 6857038
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a common connector for memory cards and a switching arbitration method for the shared Pins of the connector, i.e., a common connector which allows many different types of memory cards to be inserted in and fixed at different times. A multiple of rows/sets of different types of Pins are devised on one side of a baseboard of the common connector. And particularly, a set of shared Pins enables identification of interface signals from SD/MMC cards or SM cards. Under the control of corresponding memory card detection switches and switching arbitration circuits, the shared Pins can be connected to interface signals from a SD/MMC card or a SM card. Therefore, such a structure not only reduces the size of the common connector but also supports a multiple of types of memory cards.
