Patent Application
20190023336
The present invention is a system for creating sparks when a motorcycle or similar vehicle is being driven on the rear wheel. The invention is a system for extending tail the tail of the vehicle so that a piece of spark emitting material attaches to the rear of the vehicle. When the vehicle is driven on the rear wheel, sparks are created as the extension makes contact with an abrasive surface such as the road.
U.S. Pat. No. 8,408,911 relates to the use of the apparatus for safely training a motorcycle rider to perform a wheelie, either while moving or while stationary. The apparatus provides a safety system, which prevents the motorcycle from tipping over backwards or sideways. The prior art attaches to the rear wheel and axle instead of the tail of the vehicle where the present invention attaches. The prior art does not provide a method for creating sparks while performing a wheelie.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,578,721 relates to the use wheelie bars used in model vehicles. The prior art utilizes wheels on the end of the wheelie bar so that the vehicle can remain stable while performing wheelies. The prior art does not provide a method for creating sparks while performing a wheelie as the present invention does.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,149,179 relates to the use of an extension to assist in stabilizing a bicycle traveling on the rear wheel. The prior art is a safety device for individuals learning how to travel on the rear wheel of a bicycle. The prior art does not provide a method for creating sparks while performing a wheelie as the present invention does. The prior art attaches the rear axle and uses wheels to spin on the ground where the present invention attaches the tail of the vehicle and uses a spark emitting insert.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,330,221 relates to the use a learning device for users learning to ride a bicycle on the rear wheel. The device attaches the rear axle and frame of the bicycle and uses wheels to roll on the ground during a wheelie. The prior art does not provide a method for creating sparks while performing a wheelie as the present invention does.
U.S. Pat. No. D394,033 relates to the use of a bracket to brace a wheelie bar to the rear wheel of a vehicle. The prior art does not provide a method for creating sparks while performing a wheelie as the present invention does.
The present invention is a system for extending the tail of a motorcycle so that a section of spark emitting material such as titanium is located the very rear of the motorcycle. The spark emitting material is located in a cavity on the extension and held in place by clamp pressure between the cavity walls.
Benefits of the current invention include quick replacement of spark emitting inserts, cheap production of inserts, and damage prevention to vehicle.
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a highly effective method for attaching titanium or other spark emitting material to the rear of a motorcycle to create sparks when the operator rides the motorcycle only on the rear wheel.
It is another object of the present invention to prevent damage to the operator and vehicle while performing wheelies.
1. Definitions
Body; Section of material attached to the rear sub frame of a motorcycle of which a piece of spark emitting material is attached to.
Insert; Piece of spark emitting material attached to the body
Spark emitting material; Any material that emits sparks when contact is made with an abrasive surface such as asphalt.
Wheelie; A trick performed on a vehicle where the vehicle is traveling only on the rear wheel(s).
2. Best Mode of Invention
The best mode of the invention as shown in
This extension consists of two major pieces, a body that attaches directly to the rear sub frame of the motorcycle and an insert that fits into a cavity onto the body.
3. How to Make the Invention
The body of the extension is to be machined or fabricated from a strong material such as aluminum. A cavity is to be machined or fabricated on the end of the extension to adapt to the insert of a spark emitting material. The cavity must be made in a way that allows to body to flex when pressure is applied so that the cavity size is decreased. The spark emitting material is to be machined or fabricated in a way that allows the insert to fit inside of the cavity on the body so that when clamp pressure is applied the insert is held securely in place.
An effective method for attaching a spark emitting material to the rear sub frame of a motorcycle.
Effortless and quick replacement of spark emitting inserts.
Low cost production of spark emitting inserts.
Effective distribution of sparks emitted when contact is made with an abrasive surface.
