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 resilient and deformable compression elastomers and rigid multi-function sleeves. The elastomers are placed coaxially between the tube and the compression rod, and interconnected by the sleeves. Each multi-function sleeve has a cylindrical sidewall defining a hollow chamber for interconnecting through press-fit engagement the elastomers in a stacked series and regulating the elastomers to prevent them from twisting or snaking when they are compressed. Each multi-function sleeve further has an integral internal structure for preventing relative movement along the coaxial direction between the sleeve and adjacent elastomers.
