Abstract

An intermediate device that clamps the front suspension of a two-wheeled and/or motorized vehicle as part of the steering system that attaches to the frame structure and provides a mounting area for the handlebar and controls. This multiple point mounting area comprises of Acrylonitrile/Butadiene polymer or Urethane dampeners positioned above and below the clamp plane. A shoulder bolt passing through from the lower side captures these dampeners against a step washer backed against the lower portion of the threaded handlebar clamp. This assembly provides a contained system of absorption of impact to the operators' forearms and hands while protecting against handlebar position relocation in the event of a collision, crash or aggressive rider input.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A multi-post shock absorber clamp system for reducing transmitted impact to a vehicle operator comprising: 
 a. A unitary body of predetermined dimensions accommodating coupling of steering and control components.    b. A plurality of dampeners integrated within said body.    c. Handlebar clamps for attachment of vehicle controls.    d. Connection means for operatively interconnecting said components.    
   
   
       2 . Heretofore stated clamp of  claim 1  further comprising a structure of multiple dampened handlebar mounting locations.  
   
   
       3 . The according clamp of  claim 2 , wherein said handlebar mounting locations are contiguous to a contained mounting system respectively comprising: 
 a. A washer of predetermined step height.    b. Mounted dampeners.    c. Encapsulating bosses.    d. A means for capturing said components to underside of handlebar lower mounting bracket.
