Encircled Rod Supported Patents (Class 152/103)
  • Patent number: 8863794
    Abstract: An internal wheel suspension and shock absorbing system includes a hub with radially extending spokes, cooperating with springs axially mounted thereon, abutting a hub and entering the rim of a wheel. The spokes secure onto a hub that mounts onto the vehicle axle, for rotation. When a force is encountered, the forces are absorbed by the spokes, the springs, and the slots as the hub has limited translation within the rim. The springs are adjustable and bias against the head of the spokes and the hub, and absorb the impact of vector forces generated from any impact.
