Shock absorber for scooter

The invention relates to a shock absorbing device for scooters, in particular to a shock absorbing device by which the front wheels of the scooter can be raised and lowered when driving on an uneven road surface.

The scooter has recently become a popular leisure device. The scooters on the market usually have a board, a handlebar, a front wheel and a rear wheel. A scooter with a shock absorbing device is rare. When driving on an uneven road, the driver can fall off the scooter and be injured.

The invention is therefore based on the object of creating a shock absorbing device for scooters in which the head tube has a π -shaped plate at the lower end, on each of whose sides a connecting rod is pivotally attached, the rear end of which is articulated to a front wheel and the front end of which is articulated to a shock absorber, which in turn is articulated at the other end to a common pivoting part which is pivotally attached to the head tube, whereby the shock absorbers can move up and down around the pivoting part, so that the two front wheels can be raised and lowered by the shock absorbers when driving on an uneven road surface, thus achieving a damping effect.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. They show:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention,
Figure 2 is an exploded view of the invention,
Figure 3 is a schematic representation of the movement of the invention,
Figure 4 is a schematic representation of the function of the stops of the invention.

As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, the invention essentially consists of a board 1, a handlebar 2, a head tube 3, two

front wheels 4 and a rear wheel 5. The head tube 3 has a π-shaped plate 6 at the lower end, on each of whose sides a connecting rod 7 is pivotally attached, the rear end of which is articulated to a front wheel 4 and the front end of which is articulated to a shock absorber 8. The other end of the two shock absorbers 8 is articulated to a common pivoting part 9 which is pivotally attached to the head tube 3. Therefore, the shock absorbers 8 can move up and down about the pivoting part 9, whereby the connecting rods 7 on the two sides of the π-shaped plate 6 are pivoted back and forth, so that the two front wheels 4 can be raised and lowered by the shock absorbers 8 when driving on an uneven road. In this way, a damping effect is achieved.

The movement of the invention is shown in Figure 3. As can be seen, the two front wheels 4 can be raised and lowered when driving on an uneven road, the connecting rods 7 being pivoted back and forth and the shock absorbers 8 moving up and down so that a damping effect is achieved.

As can also be seen from Figure 4, the front side of the π-shaped plate 6 is provided with a stop 10 on both sides in order to limit the upward pivoting of the connecting rod 7, thereby preventing excessive movement of the shock absorber 8, which can lead to damage to the connecting rod 7.

In summary, it can be stated that the invention can raise and lower the front wheels using the connecting rods, thereby achieving a damping effect. In terms of its availability, progressiveness and novelty, it fully meets the requirements for a utility model.

A shock absorbing device for scooters is described in which the head tube has an O-shaped plate at the lower end, on each of whose sides a connecting rod is pivotally attached, the rear end of which is articulated to a front wheel and the front end to a shock absorber, which in turn is articulated at the other end to a common pivoting part which is pivotally attached to the head tube, whereby the shock absorbers can move up and down around the pivoting part and thus pivot the connecting rods so that the two front wheels can be raised and lowered when driving on an uneven road surface and thus a damping effect is achieved.

Claims (2)

1. To create a shock absorbing device for scooters, in that the head tube ( 3 ) has a ∩-shaped plate ( 6 ) at the lower end, on each of whose sides a connecting rod ( 7 ) is pivotally attached, the rear end of which is articulated to a front wheel ( 4 ) and the front end of which is articulated to a shock absorber ( 8 ), which in turn is articulated at the other end to a common pivoting part ( 9 ) which is pivotally attached to the head tube ( 3 ), whereby the shock absorbers ( 8 ) can move up and down about the pivoting part ( 9 ) and thus pivot the connecting rods ( 7 ) so that the two front wheels ( 4 ) can be raised and lowered when driving on an uneven road surface and thus a damping effect is achieved. 2. Shock absorbing device according to claim 1, characterized in that the front side of the ∩-shaped plate ( 6 ) is provided on both sides with a stop ( 10 ) in order to limit the upward pivoting of the connecting rod ( 7 ), whereby an excessive movement of the shock absorber ( 8 ) is prevented, which can lead to damage to the connecting rod ( 7 ).
