The invention relates to a venting device () for an electrochemical battery (). The venting device comprises at least one inlet opening () for receiving gases venting from the battery (), at least one outlet opening () for venting the gases received from the battery (), and at least one flame arrester element (). The inlet opening () is in communication with the outlet opening () via the flame arrester element (). An explosion chamber () is located within the venting device () on the side of the flame arrester element () which is directed to the outlet opening (). The explosion chamber () is arranged for developing and temporarily storing an explosive mixture of the gases received from the battery () and oxygen from the ambient air, which explodes in case a flame occurs within the explosion chamber (), thereby blowing off the flame.

Motorcycle bumper

A motorcycle including a fork assembly, a wheel including a wheel axle connected to the fork assembly, a bushing rotatably mounted on the wheel axle (e.g., by a spherical bearing), and an axle cover mounted on the bushing. The axle cover includes a base portion having a periphery, and a skirt portion extending away from at least a part of the periphery of the base portion. The skirt portion preferably defines at least one gap adapted to receive a fender strap to thereby allow the fender strap to be recessed into the axle cover. The axle cover can also include an opening through which the bushing is positioned. In addition, a hub cap can be connected to the bushing such that the axle cover is compressed between the hub cap and the bushing.
