Benefits of technology

The present patent provides a modular suspension buffer for vehicles that can be customized for different driving needs and terrains. It offers soft initial contact and progressive resistance during compression to improve driving stability, load capacity, off-road performance, and ride comfort. Additionally, the buffer extends the lifespan of the vehicle suspension system.

Problems solved by technology

For example, a suspension buffer made of soft material can soften a hard impact but provide less loading capacity and support to the suspension.
On the other hand, a suspension buffer made of hard material can provide greater loading capacity but is less capable of softening a harsh impact when the suspension is bottoming out.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part thereof. In addition to the illustrative aspects, aspects, and features described above, further aspects, aspects, and features will become apparent by reference to the drawings and the following detailed description. The description of elements in each figure may refer to elements of proceeding figures. Like numbers may refer to like elements in the figures, including alternate aspects of like elements.

[0019]Some aspects of the present disclosure provide a modular suspension buffer for a vehicle. The modular suspension buffer can improve the vehicle suspension, for example, to provide soft initial contact upon impact and a non-linear spring rate so as to improve driving stability, loading capacity, off-road performance, and / or ride comfort while extending the operational lifespan of the suspension system. Some non-limiting examples of modular suspension buffers include bum...

Abstract

A modular suspension buffer for vehicle has customizable hardness and height to provide various combinations of initial contact softness and non-linearly increasing resistance during compression so as to improve driving stability, loading capacity, off road performance, and / or ride comfort while extending the operational lifespan of the vehicle suspension system.

Description

PRIORITY CLAIM[0001]This application claims priority to and the benefit of provisional patent application No. 63 / 179,706 filed in the United States Patent Office on Apr. 26, 2021, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth below in its entirety and for all applicable purposes.FIELD[0002]The disclosure relates, in some aspects, to bump buffers. More specifically, this invention relates to modular bump buffers for various vehicles.INTRODUCTION[0003]Suspension buffers can be used to protect vehicle suspension and frame. Suspension buffers can be used in connection with the shocks and / or springs of a vehicle suspension to provide extra loading capacity and limit suspension travel to prevent a vehicle from bottoming out and to prevent the over-compression of springs. The material used for constructing the suspension buffers can affect the shock absorption characteristic and support provided to the suspension. For example, a suspension buffer mad...
