Patent attributes
A dual-lever compression system comprising a shock absorber, a first lever, and a second lever. The shock absorber first end is pivotally coupled to a frame. The shock absorber second end is pivotally coupled to a first lever first end and the first lever second end is coupled to the frame. The second lever first end is pivotally coupled to the shock absorber second end and the second lever second end is coupled to a swing- arm. The compression performance control provided by embodiments of the dual-lever compression system is directly related to the incorporation of dual levers coupled to the shock absorber; that is, the first lever and the second lever. Angles, position, and pivotal rotations of the dual levers provide for controlled shock absorption. Compression performance of two connecting points between the rigid frame regions where by a first lever pivotally couples to one point of a rigid frame and pivotally couples to the impact point of the shock absorber, with the base mount of the shock absorber pivotally coupled to a second point of the rigid frame. The second lever completes the system, where a first end of the second lever is pivotally coupled to the first lever or the shock absorber impact point. A second end of the second lever is pivotally coupled to a swing-arm or wheel region. The dual lever assembly manipulates the shock absorber force tension which in return produces increased suspension performance.
