Abstract: 8831. Bond, E. S. April 23. Heads; frames.-In an anti-vibration device for motor-cycles &c., of the kind wherein a resilient medium is disposed within the head pillar E at a position around the crown tube f, the single resilient medium is replaced by a series of media g<1>, g<2>, g<3> of different strengths, so arranged that the minor vibrations are absorbed by the weaker spring or springs and the greater displacements by the stronger springs. The tube f is capable of sliding and turning within the bearings a, b at the top and bottom of the head, the springs abutting against a part e<3> and against a collar f<1> upon the lower end of the tube. To provide a bearing-surface for the upper set of balls, the split top of the crown tube may be surrounded by a ring with flanged ends to keep the balls from engagement with the recess. A spring cylinder may be provided around the extending lower portion of the crown tube. As applied to trussed forks, a segmental plate j secured to the crown l is stayed to the girders m by a bracket n, which is strengthened at a level with the crown by a cross-stay forming a bearing or guide for the brake rod. The lamp bracket n<2> is formed upon a curved cross-stay at the upper ends of the girders. A buffer spring p<1> with washers p<2>, p<3> is preferably interposed between the head clip s and the upper bearing a.
