ABSTRACT:
A shock-absorbing apparatus for use in the body frames of light-weight pedal-powered or motor-powered land or water surface vehicles and sports and exercising equipment including bicycles, mountain bikes, dirt bikes, off-road bikes, all terrain bikes, exercise bikes, motor-bikes, motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, snow-scooters, snow-mobiles, jet-skis and the like. The shock-absorbing apparatus comprises a telescoping assembly including a tube and a compression rod slidably engaged coaxially, and a compression elastomer assembly including an elongated resilient and deformable compression elastomer and rigid multi-function bands. The elastomer is placed coaxially between the tube and the compression rod. Each multi-function band has a cylindrical sidewall defining a hollow chamber for fitting onto the elongated elastomer through press-fit engagement and regulating the elastomer to prevent it from twisting or snaking when it is compressed. The number, position and size of the multi-function bands can be changed to modify and adjust the compression characteristic of the elongated elastomer.
