| 20100212488 | Hydro-Pneumatic Cylinder with Controlled Stop Position - A cylinder having a hollow cylindrical body with an axially moveable rod disposed therein that is moveable between a rest position and a stop position. The cylindrical body and rod are configured so as to create a main chamber located between a lower surface of the rod and a base of the cylindrical body. And to also create an auxiliary chamber that is connectable to the main chamber via a flow channel in the rod. In one implementation the main chamber is adapted to contain a gaseous fluid and an oily fluid mixture when the rod is in the rest position so that the fluid exerts a first force on the lower surface of the rod to urge the rod toward the rest position. When the rod is in the stop position the main chamber predominately contains only the oily fluid. The auxiliary chamber is in flow communication with the main chamber via the flow channel when the rod is not in the stop position, the first auxiliary chamber, main chamber and flow channel configured to cause at least the gaseous fluid to be located in the main chamber to pass through the flow channel to the auxiliary chamber when the rod is moved in a direction towards the stop position so that at least the gaseous fluid exerts a second force on a surface of the rod, opposite the lower surface of the rod, that acts against the first force. A closure element coupled to a portion of the body base is also provided and adapted to close the flow channel in the rod when the rod is in the stop position. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20140208933 | Bicycle Seat Post Structure - The present invention relates to a bicycle seat post structure, and more particularly, to a structure provided with a hydraulic actuator within which is configured with an upper oil compartment, an intermediate oil compartment, and a lower oil compartment; the three oil compartments intercommunicate. It is characterized in that the bicycle seat post structure provides an upper valve moving simultaneously with the pin and configured between the upper oil compartment and the intermediate oil compartment; the upper valve will be closed to disconnect the upper oil compartment from the intermediate oil compartment when the pin is in a state of locking. Thus, the valve will stop moving up because it is positioned above the upper and the intermediate oil compartments and consequently controlled by the oil within the compartments, so as to stop the seat sliding upward and further to be combined with the bicycle frame as a whole. | 07-31-2014 |

| 20150300382 | Bicycle Seat Post Height Adjustment Mechanism - The present invention provides a bicycle seat post height adjustment mechanism. When said bicycle seat post height adjustment mechanism is in a state of locking, said lower valve packing ring may block said lower valve port, and moreover, based on demands, said upper valve packing ring is allowed selectively to block said upper valve port or to be away from said upper valve port so as to stay on top of said upper valve port. Thus, said pin is driven to axially move down so as to enable said seat post to make fine adjustment, stepless adjustment or stepped adjustment in height; moreover, said seat post may self-return to the assigned position (upper position, middle position or lower position) to prevent the height of the seat from altering. | 10-22-2015 |
