AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The damper effectively reduces vibrations by using the weight and resilient member combination to absorb and return to a nominal position, providing comfort and reducing fatigue for operators and passengers.

Problems solved by technology

Vehicles and other devices may generate or be subject to various vibrations and resonances which may be present throughout the structure of the object.
Vibrations may be uncomfortable and / or fatiguing to an operator and passengers.
Vibrations passing through a handle or control device may be particularly uncomfortable as the vibrations may be absorbed by the hands and arms of a person in contact with the handle or control device.

Abstract

A damper for reducing vibrations present in various portions of small vehicles, other transportation devices and other rolling and / or motorized devices, such as bicycles, motorcycles, lawn mowers, snowblowers and the like, may comprise a resilient member and a weight. The resilient member may mounted to a portion of a device having a surface suitable for engaging and retaining the resilient member therein, and the resilient member may have an inside surface suitable for engaging and retaining the weight.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a damper which may be used to reduce vibrations in small vehicles, other transportation devices and other rolling and / or motorized devices, such as bicycles, wagons, motorcycles, jet skis, lawn mowers, snowblowers, all-terrain vehicles and the like.[0002]Vehicles are well known and may be used to transport people and various objects, such as cargo. Vehicles generally require an operator, and typically the operator is supported by the vehicle. Other rolling devices, such as lawn mowers and snowblowers, may perform work and may be controlled by an operator.[0003]Vehicles and other devices may generate or be subject to various vibrations and resonances which may be present throughout the structure of the object. Vibrations may pass from the object to the operator, for example through a control device or grip such as a handle, and also through a seat or other support device in cases where the object supports an operator or passe...
