Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Two stage shock absorber mount." This invention combines a shear mount assembly and a compression mount assembly to control ride harshness of a shock absorber. The shock absorber features a body and a shock rod with a hydraulically sealed portion and a distally extending free portion. The mount assembly, connected at the free portion, includes both a compression mount and a shear mount. The shear mount absorbs low-input vertical loads from the shock rod, while the compression mount limits vertical displacement and absorbs medium-input vertical loads. The tuning of the shear and compression mounts is achieved by selecting the durometer, dimensions, and physical configuration of each mount.
