VEHICLE TIRE BEAD RETENTION SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS
A wheel assembly includes a rim having a primary tire bead retention ridge; a plurality of secondary bead retention members; and a plurality of sealing members. The plurality of secondary bead retention members are removably coupleable to receptacles of the rim such that a portion of each secondary bead retention member extends into a pressurized portion of the wheel, is positioned behind a tire bead seat, and extends radially beyond the primary tire bead retention ridge.

A reversible, two setting preload spacer includes a body extending along an axis between a first end and a second end. The spacer also includes an opening formed through the body and extending along the axis from the first end to the second end. The opening is defined by an inner surface and configured to receive a portion of a shock tube of a shock absorber. The spacer also includes an engagement structure configured to engage a groove on the shock tube positioned on the inner surface. The engagement structure is positioned such that a first distance between the engagement structure and the first end is greater than a second distance between the engagement structure and the second end.
F16F 1/13 - Attachments or mountings comprising inserts or spacers between the windings for changing the mechanical or physical characteristics of the spring
B60G 15/04 - Resilient suspensions characterised by arrangement, location, or type of combined spring and vibration- damper, e.g. telescopic type having mechanical spring and mechanical damper
B60G 7/02 - Attaching arms to sprung part of vehicle
B60G 15/06 - Resilient suspensions characterised by arrangement, location, or type of combined spring and vibration- damper, e.g. telescopic type having mechanical spring and fluid damper
A shock absorber system can includes a shock tube and a piston slidably mated to an end of the shock tube. The system can include a heat sink reservoir. The heat sink reservoir can be connected to the shock tube via a valved fluid connection. The valved fluid connection can limit or permit fluid flow from the shock tube to the heat sink reservoir depending on fluid velocity and/or pressure.
F16F 9/512 - Means responsive to load action on the damper or fluid pressure in the damper
B60G 13/08 - Resilient suspensions characterised by arrangement, location, or type of vibration-dampers having dampers dissipating energy, e.g. frictionally of fluid type hydraulic
F16F 9/19 - Devices with one or more members, e.g. pistons, vanes, moving to and fro in chambers and using throttling effect involving only straight-line movement of the effective parts with a closed cylinder and a piston separating two or more working spaces therein with a single cylinder
F16F 9/348 - Throttling passages in the form of annular discs operating in opposite directions
A ball joint assembly for a vehicle suspension includes a control arm configured to connect to or engage a frame of a vehicle, a ball, a taper connected to the ball, the taper configured to connect to or engage a steering knuckle that connects to a wheel of the vehicle, and/or a housing comprising an adapter system configured to connect to the control arm. The ball at least partially in the housing with grease at least partially between the ball and the housing. The housing, the ball, and the taper are configured for the housing and the ball to articulate relative to each other to provide a predetermined angularity of movement in all 360 degrees of orientation with a predetermined minimum pullout force in all 360 degrees of orientation.
Ball joints can be greased, serviced, and sealed from the environment. The ball joints can be retrofitted as an aftermarket part. The ball joints can be retrofitted into certain control arms, such as aftermarket tubular, formed steel, or billet aluminum control arms used for off-roading and other extreme sports. The ball joints can provide a predetermined angularity ofmovement desirable in, for example, off-roading and other extreme sports. Thepredetermined angularity of movement can be high or wide relative to the angularity of movement or displacement provided by standard or factory ball joints.
A shock absorber system can includes a shock tube and a piston slidably mated to an end of the shock tube. The system can include a first mount on the piston for attaching to a first point on a motor vehicle. A second mount can be positioned on the shock tube near an end of the shock tube opposite the piston. The second mount can be positioned offset from an axial centerline of the shock tube. In some cases, the system can include a stabilizing device connected to the second mount. The system can include a heat sink reservoir. The heat sink reservoir can be connected to the shock tube via a valved fluid connection.
