Abstract

An oil seal holder for a shock absorber contains: a body, plural push members, and plural resilient elements. The body includes a first semi-circular ring and a second semi-circular ring, and a rear end of the first semi-circular ring is connected with a rear end of the second semi-circular ring. The body also includes a retainer configured to retain with or remove from a front end of the first semi-circular ring and a front end of the second semi-circular ring. The plural push members are mounted and radially move on the first semi-circular ring and the second semi-circular ring, and each push member includes an abutting post extending out of the first semi-circular ring or the second semi-circular ring. The plural resilient elements are connected with the first semi-circular ring and the second semi-circular ring so as to push the plural push member inward.

Claims (10)

1. An oil seal holder for a shock absorber comprising:

a body including a first semi-circular ring and a second semi-circular ring, and a rear end of the first semi-circular ring being connected with a rear end of the second semi-circular ring, the body also including a retainer configured to retain with or remove from a front end of the first semi-circular ring and a front end of the second semi-circular ring;

plural push members mounted and radially moving on the first semi-circular ring and the second semi-circular ring, and each push member including an abutting post extending out of the first semi-circular ring or the second semi-circular ring;

plural resilient elements connected with the first semi-circular ring and the second semi-circular ring so as to push the plural push member inward.

2. The oil seal holder for the shock absorber as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the body also includes a hinge rotatably connected with the rear end of the first semi-circular ring and the rear end of the second semi-circular ring, such that the first semi-circular ring connects with or removes from the second semi-circular ring, the retainer has an elastic piece for connecting with the front end of the first semi-circular ring and has at least one locking element coupled with the front end of the second semi-circular ring, the elastic piece has at least one opening configured to connect the first semi-circular ring and the second semi-circular ring with the elastic piece.

3. The oil seal holder for the shock absorber as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first semi-circular ring has plural first grooves equidistantly arranged on an outer wall thereof, plural first holes defined in the plural first grooves respectively, and plural first slots communicating with the plural first grooves; the second semi-circular ring has plural second grooves equidistantly arranged on an outer wall thereof, plural second holes defined in the plural second grooves respectively, and plural second slots communicating with the plural second grooves; two ends of each resilient element connects with the first semi-circular ring and the second semi-circular ring respectively and retain in each of the plural first slots and of the plural second slots respectively, hence said each resilient element pushes said each push member inward.

4. The oil seal holder for the shock absorber as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said each push member also includes a guiding block and a protrusion; the guiding block of said each push member retains in each first groove or each second groove, the protrusion engages in each first hole or each second hole so that said each push member radially moves on the first semi-circular ring or the second semi-circular ring; the protrusion has plural notches corresponding to the plural first slots or the plural second slots, the abutting post extends out of the first semi-circular ring or the second semi-circular ring from a bottom of the protrusion, and the two ends of said each resilient element retain in each of the plural notches of said each push member, hence said each resilient element pushes said each push member inward.

5. The oil seal holder for the shock absorber as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each of the plural resilient elements is an extension spring.

6. The oil seal holder for the shock absorber as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a number of each of the plural first grooves, of the plural first holes, of the plural second grooves, and of the plural second holes is three, and a number of each of the plural first slots and of the plural second slots is two, wherein the plural first slots communicate with the plural first holes, and the plural second slots communicate with the plural second holes; and a number of the plural push members is six, a number of the plural resilient elements is four, wherein two of the four resilient elements connect with the first semi-circular ring, and the other two of the four resilient elements connect with the second semi-circular ring.

7. The oil seal holder for the shock absorber as claimed in claim 1 , wherein plural tabs and plural orifices are formed on connection faces of the first semi-circular ring and the second semi-circular ring respectively so as to retain the first semi-circular ring with the second semi-circular ring.
