Abstract: The linear bearing (3) comprises a plurality of concentrically arranged springs (2), each spring (2) being designed as a plate spring with a fixing part (2a) and a bore (2c) arranged in the center (Z). Each spring (2) also has a spring arm (2b) which emerges from the fixing part (2a) and ends in an end section (2g). The end section (2g) has the bore (2c), and the bore (2c) is concentric to the fixing part (2a). Each spring (2) has a direction of movement (B) which runs perpendicular to the fixing part (2a), and the springs (2) are arranged one behind the other in the direction of movement (B). The spring arm (2b) has a spring arm section (2ba) which runs concentrically with the bore (2c) and which extends along an angular range (γ) between 100° and 270°, preferably along an angular range (γ) between 180° and 300°. The fixing part (2a) is at least partly annular, and the spring arm section (2ba) has, in a radial direction with respect to the bore (2c), a width (2k) which is at least five times greater than the thickness (2i) of the spring arm (2b). The width (2k) of the spring arm section (2ba) is designed such that the spring arm section extends relative to the annular fixing part (2a) and the end portion (2g) while forming a lateral gap (2d).

Abstract: The present invention provides a shock absorber with compliant members. Shock absorption is provided by the bending and rebound of curved, flexible arms. The deflection and the damping capabilities of the shock absorber are determined by the dimensions, curvature, and material modulus of elasticity of these compliant members. The shock absorber with compliant members technology may be applied to a bicycle front fork shock absorber and a rear shock absorber, both described herein. The benefits of a shock absorber with compliant members are that it is light-weight, it is simple in design, it has few movable joints, it can be designed to have precise flexion and damping characteristics, and it is resilient in harsh conditions.

Abstract: A user-selectable force conversion apparatus includes a first and a second connecting member that are pivotally connected to each other between a sliding member and a fixed member. The apparatus also includes a leaf spring holder for removably retaining one or more leaf springs and loading the second connecting member with a substantially linear force response of the leaf springs. A user may change the combination of leaf springs and/or vary a length ratio for the first and second connecting members and thereby change the force response of the apparatus. Movement of the sliding member by the mechanical input may convert the substantially linear force response of the leaf springs to a user-selected force response for the mechanical input. A corresponding method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A spring is formed of a relatively thin sheet of spring material, which is constricted and held in place at each end forming a bell curve being located between two substantially planar members. As additional compressive force is applied in the vertical direction, the curve then compresses and starts to form sine waves. In an improved embodiment of the present invention, the sine wave spring is formed in a wedge shape, so that it is gradually taller and more progressive. This embodiment has been tested for use as a trailer spring with positive results. This wedge-shaped sine wave spring provides even more advantages over the Prior Art. The wedge-shaped prototype illustrates also how the present invention may be expanded to other shapes, in order to alter the spring characteristics, and also for packaging and other concerns.
