Definitions

  • This invention is related to automotive technology in particular but not exclusively to a quick release damper or shock absorber changing system for testing different damper/spring combinations under testing, practice and racing conditions.
  • the invention resides in a quick release damper or shock absorber mounting assembly including in combination,
  • first damper mounting means located at one or both ends of the damper or shock absorber unit
  • second damper mounting means adapted to releasably engage with said first damper mounting means
  • the second damper mounting means further adapted to be attached to existing shock absorber mounting points on a vehicle, wherein the engagement and disengagement of the first and second damper mounting means can be rapidly performed entirely by hand operation and without the need to use tools.
  • the first damper mounting means comprises a ball member with a region of reduced diameter where the ball member is joined to the damper unit.
  • the second damper mounting means comprises a socket to engage the ball member, the socket having a quick release detent mechanism biased to secure the ball member when the ball member is inserted into the socket and wherein disengagement and removal of the ball member from the socket is against the biasing of the detent mechanism.
  • the detent mechanism comprises one or more spring-loaded elements located in the socket; the spring-loaded elements biased to clasp the ball at the region of reduced diameter and wherein removal of the ball member requires force against the bias.
  • the second damper mounting means is of an eyelet configuration design adapted for attaching to existing shock absorber mounting points on vehicles.
  • the invention resides in a method of interchanging damper units on a vehicle by the quick release mounting assembly as hereinbefore described including the steps of:
  • the invention resides in a vehicle having a quick release damper mounting assembly as herein before described.
  • Figure 1 is an exploded view of a preferred quick release damper or shock absorber mounting assembly according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows detail of the ball member and socket of the embodiment of Figure 1 .
  • FIG 3 shows cross sectional detail of the socket and ball member of Figure 1 and Figure 2.
  • FIG. 1 there is showing an exploded view of a preferred quick release damper or shock absorber mounting assembly according to the invention.
  • the damper or shock absorber unit 10 is shown with a preferred first damper mounting means in the form of ball members 12, 14 having a region of reduced diameter 12a, 14a.
  • the second damper mounting means in this version comprise sockets 16, 18 into which the ball members 12, 14 are inserted.
  • Detent mechanisms in the form of spring loaded collars (not shown in this view) engage the region of reduced diameter 12a, 14a of the ball members thereby captively locating the damper or shock absorber unit between the opposed sockets 16, 18.
  • the sockets have eyelets 16b, 18b for attaching between existing clevis mounting brackets of the vehicle chassis.
  • Figure 2 shows details of the ball member 12 and socket 16 of Figure 1.
  • the ball member has a region of reduced diameter 12a, which is clasped by the spring loaded collar 16a having internal detent elements typically collets (not shown) adapted to engage the reduced region 12a of the ball member.
  • the eyelet 16b is adapted to fit in a clevis mounting bracket attached to the vehicle (both not shown).
  • FIG. 3 shows cross sectional detail of the socket 16 comprising the second damper mounting means engaging a ball member 12 of the first damper mounting means.
  • FIGS 3a and 3b show cross-sectional detail of the engagement of the ball members 12, 14 of the damper 10 with the socket members 16, 18 comprising of the second mounting means.
  • the ball member 12 located at the top of the damper is shown inserted into the quick release socket 16.
  • the quick release action is activated by sliding the sockets outer sleeve 16a in the direction of arrow 17 compressing the coil spring 16c.
  • the collets 16c, 16e are released from gripping the region of reduced diameter 12a of the ball member.
  • the collets return to their gripping position thereby captively gripping the ball member.
