Abstract
A one-piece connector for a shock-absorbing frame of a bicycle is manufactured by casting, forging or high pressure hydraulic forming means, is made of aluminum and formed as a single piece without welding, and has a bottom bracket shell, a connecting tube, a pivot and a linking joint. The connecting tube is formed on and protrudes from a top surface of the bottom bracket shell. The pivot is formed with the connecting tube near the bottom bracket shell. The linking joint is formed on an upper end of the connecting tube. The bottom bracket shell, the connecting tube, the pivot and the linking joint are formed with each other to form the one-piece connector without welding to simplify the production process, to improve the precision, quality and appearance of the one-piece connector, and to reinforce the structural strength of the one-piece connector.
