Patent ID: 7938422

Claim:
Device for adjusting inclination of a front fork ( 5 ) of a two- or three-wheeled vehicle having a steering assembly (S) comprising: a frame tube ( 3 ) being part of a frame ( 2 ) of the vehicle ( 1 ); and a steering tube ( 4 ) being rotatable within the frame tube ( 3 ); the device for adjusting comprising means for rigidly connecting the steering tube ( 4 ) to two fork rods ( 5 ) that are substantially parallel to each other; wherein said means for connecting comprise an upper connecting unit ( 10 a ) and a lower connecting unit ( 10 b ) prearranged for enabling to vary in an adjustable manner inclination of the fork rods ( 5 ) with respect to the steering tube ( 4 ), each connecting unit ( 10 a , 10 b ) consisting of a plurality of separate components that are mechanically interconnected in an adjustable manner, wherein the plurality of separate components of each connecting unit ( 10 a , 10 b ) comprises: one pair of side fastening members ( 20 ), each side member being rigidly connectable to a respective fork rod ( 5 ), and an intermediate fastening member ( 40 ), operatively interposed between the side members ( 20 ) and rigidly connectable to the steering tube ( 4 ); wherein the intermediate members ( 40 ) of the upper unit ( 10 a ) and of the lower unit ( 10 b ) are rigidly connectable to an upper end region and to a lower end region of the steering tube ( 4 ), respectively, and the side members ( 20 ) of the upper unit ( 10 a ) are rigidly connectable to the fork rods ( 5 ) at an upper height with respect to the side members ( 20 ) of the lower unit ( 10 b ); and wherein each side member ( 20 ) is mechanically constrained in an adjustable manner to the respective intermediate member ( 40 ), for enabling position adjustment of the side members ( 20 ) relative to the intermediate member ( 40 ) to cause variation of inclination of the fork rods ( 5 ) relative to the steering tube ( 4 ).
