20090242334 - Hydraulic caliper brake assembly for a bicycle: A hydraulic caliper brake assembly for a bicycle comprises a caliper body; a first chamber installed in the caliper body; a first piston installed in the first chamber; a second piston installed in the first chamber; an inner chamber formed between the first piston and the second piston for receiving... Agent: Chien-hui Su

20090242335 - Railway bogies: This invention relates to a bogie (10), including a load bearing point (11), a wheel set portion (12) and an intervening spring suspension (13). A load weigh valve (15) is fixed between the load portion (11) and the spring (16) of the suspension (13). The valve (15) is mounted within... Agent: Mcdermott, Will & Emery LLP Attn:IPDepartment

20090242336 - Floating-disk type brake system: A floating-disk type brake system includes floating disk assemblies placed respectively in spaces between a rotating member, such as a wheel of a transportation machine or a rotating shaft of a machine tool, and a stationary member. Differences in rotating speed between the adjacent ones of the sliding surfaces of... Agent: Burr & Brown

20090242337 - Method and apparatus for facilitating performance of vehicle braking systems: A method of assembling a vehicle braking system retrofit package includes assembling a braking mechanism having a first bias. The method also includes assembling at least one automatic hydraulic brake adjuster (AHBA) having a second bias and a third bias. The method further includes coupling the at least one AHBA... Agent: Patrick W. Rasche Armstrong Teasdale LLP

20090242338 - Disk brake device: A vehicular disk brake device having a first air discharge mouth and a first hose connection mouth connected to a center cylinder project from an outer face of the caliper case in close proximity and so that the axes of the first hose connection mouth and the first air discharge... Agent: Birch Stewart Kolasch & Birch

20090242339 - Damping force adjustable shock absorber: An object of the present invention is to provide a damping force adjustable hydraulic shock absorber, in which response delay of a pressure control valve and self-excited vibration of a valve body can be prevented. A damping force is generated by controlling an oil flow between an annular oil passage... Agent: Wenderoth, Lind & Ponack, L.L.P.

20090242340 - Damping arrangement: A damping arrangement comprises a drive member arranged to be driven for angular movement relative to a housing by a motor, and a damping device independent of the motor and operable to damp oscillating motion of the drive member relative to the housing.... Agent: Andrus, Sceales, Starke & Sawall, LLP

20090242341 - Fluid pressure shock absorber: An object of the present invention is to improve productivity by making manufacturing of a piston easier. A piston 13 is constituted by two piston bodies 15 and 16. An annular valve seat 32 is formed on a non-coupled surface 16B of one of the piston bodies, i.e., the piston...
