Abstract
To provide a shock absorber for a two-wheeled vehicle that can effectively absorb a large amount of energy generated in case of a collision, and can be mounted easily on the two-wheeled vehicle. A lattice body of synthetic resin is formed by reducing the thickness of a plurality of plate ribs gradually from the proximal ends to the distal ends and disposing the plate ribs intersecting with each other. The lattice bodies are arranged in a stack such that the direction of the plate ribs extending from the proximal ends toward the distal ends is oriented along the fore-and-aft direction of the two-wheeled vehicle. The shock absorber is mountable at the front end of the two-wheeled vehicle.
Claims17
A shock absorber for a two-wheeled vehicle, said shock absorber being mountable at a front end of the two-wheeled vehicle and comprising:
- shock absorbing members of synthetic resin, each shock absorbing member including:
- a lattice body, said lattice body including a plurality of plate ribs, each of said plate ribs being reduced in thickness from a proximal end toward a distal end thereof and being disposed intersecting with each other,
- wherein said shock absorbing members are arranged in a stack such that the direction of the plate ribs extending from the proximal end toward the distal end is oriented along a fore-and-aft direction of the two-wheeled vehicle.
A shock absorber for a two-wheeled vehicle, said shock absorber being mountable at a front end of the two-wheeled vehicle and comprising:
- shock absorbing members of synthetic resin, each shock absorbing member including:
- a lattice body, said lattice body including a plurality of plate ribs forming a plurality of lattice spaces, each of said plate ribs being reduced in thickness from a proximal end toward a distal end thereof and being disposed intersecting with each other;
- and
- a tabular basal plate, said tabular basal plate for shielding each of said lattice spaces of the lattice body, said tabular basal plate being molded integrally with said lattice body,
- wherein said shock absorbing members are arranged in a stack such that the direction of the plate ribs extending from the proximal ends toward the distal ends is oriented along a fore-and-aft direction of the two-wheeled vehicle.
