Multi-post shock absorber clamp system
An intermediate device that clamps the front suspension of a two-wheeled and/or motorized vehicle as part of the steering system that attaches to the frame structure and provides a mounting area for the handlebar and controls. This multiple point mounting area comprises of Acrylonitrile/Butadiene polymer or Urethane dampeners positioned above and below the clamp plane. A shoulder bolt passing through from the lower side captures these dampeners against a step washer backed against the lower portion of the threaded handlebar clamp. This assembly provides a contained system of absorption of impact to the operators' forearms and hands while protecting against handlebar position relocation in the event of a collision, crash or aggressive rider input.
1 . A multi-post shock absorber clamp system for reducing transmitted impact to a vehicle operator comprising:
a. A unitary body of predetermined dimensions accommodating coupling of steering and control components.
b. A plurality of dampeners integrated within said body.
c. Handlebar clamps for attachment of vehicle controls.
d. Connection means for operatively interconnecting said components.
2 . Heretofore stated clamp of claim 1 further comprising a structure of multiple dampened handlebar mounting locations.
3 . The according clamp of claim 2 , wherein said handlebar mounting locations are contiguous to a contained mounting system respectively comprising:
a. A washer of predetermined step height.
b. Mounted dampeners.
c. Encapsulating bosses.
d. A means for capturing said components to underside of handlebar lower mounting bracket.
