The name Bridgestone comes from a calque translation and transposition of ishibashi, meaning "stone bridge" in Japanese. As of the end of 2005, production facilities belonging to the Bridgestone Group have increased to 141 spread throughout twenty-four nations of the world. In order to attain this level of globalization, the company established a new set of corporate policies in the year 2001. In continuation of this, the company's Brand Vision was also established in 2003. Bridgestone 2 History Origins The very first Bridgestone tyre was produced on April 9, 1930, by the Japanese "Tabi" Socks Tyre Division (actually made jika-tabi). One year later on March 1, 1931, the founder, Shojiro Ishibashi, made the "Tabi" Socks Tyre Division independent and established the Bridgestone Tire Co., Ltd. in the city of Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture. "Bridgestone" was named after the name of the founder, Shojiro Ishibashi (Ishi = Stone, Bashi = Bridge).[4] Foregoing dependence on European and North America technology, the Bridgestone Tire Co., Ltd.

These are cases of designers and innovators either working alone or in a small consultancy business and the focus is on how creative individuals conceive ideas and develop them. Nevertheless, the insights into the creative process provided by these cases are also relevant to the characteristics and practices of designers and engineers working in large R & D and design teams. 2 RESEARCH METHOD The case studies were developed using a similar research method. This first involved background research on the products and inventor/designers concerned, using published articles, patents, etc., followed by preliminary interviews with the individuals.

  • Press Release Tribute to Dr Alex Moulton 1920
    Press release 11 December 2012 Tribute to Dr Alex Moulton 1920 - 2012, by Norman Foster Before 1962, the basic design of the modern bicycle had changed very little since the early 1880s, when the ‘safety bicycle’ was developed in England. All subsequent designs followed this established model until Alex Moulton came along and literally reinvented the wheel. The essence of the Moulton bicycle is its simplicity, and in each of its fundamental elements, a radical rethinking of convention. Rather than the large wheels and hunched riding position of the standard bicycle, Moulton introduced the concept of smaller wheels and a space-frame system with rubber suspension. The result is a lightweight, fast and remarkably strong machine. An aesthetic object, it is also a delight to use – flexible, responsive and comfortable to ride. Like other engineered objects that I find exciting, its appearance and performance are indivisible – it has a kind of sparse beauty. It is also recognised the world over as the ultimate riding machine – the highest speed officially recorded for a bicycle ridden in a conventional upright position was set by 1986 by Jim Glover on a Moulton AM7. Alex Moulton was a remarkable man and a brilliant engineer. His professional life was devoted to the research, development, design and manufacture of advanced and innovative products. Before turning his attention to bicycles, he worked alongside Sir Alec Issigonis at the British Motor Corporation, developing the rubber suspension system for the Mini; and Moulton’s subsequent hydragas suspension systems were a feature of numerous British production vehicles. I have many fond memories of time spent with Alex Moulton, especially at his home in Bradford–on–Avon.

PREFACE The Folding Bicycle has many practical and potential uses in recreation and daily life, and it may be the fastest growing category in the bicycle industry. Today, of all the hundred million bicycles produced annually, a whopping ~10%, about 10 million units, are folding bicycles. This article attempts to present a comprehensive and unbiased recent history of the Folding Bicycle, and a technical review of the dazzling supply of diverse products on today’s market with their various international supply chains. It hopes to be a guide for the millions of committed or interested consumers, as well as the thousands of inventors, engineers, businessmen, advocates and regulators everywhere. Credits are given where due. Ample pictures are included (for general readers), as well as references and links for the studious. (Corrections and suggestions are sincerely welcome.) 4 B. DEFINITION A Folding Bicycle is defined as a two-wheeled vehicle, with pedals, which can be folded up or otherwise reduced into a more manageable shape/size package or set of packages for ease of storage or portage.

Bastola the market. The other descendants of the bicycle are scooters Abstract—The difficulties in riding small wheel bicycles and and motorcycles. their lesser stability have been perceived for a long time. Although The motorcycle design procedures have matured over the small wheel bicycles are designed using the similar approach and time. Various simulation software is radially available to guidelines that have worked well for big wheel bicycles, the evaluate the performance of the motorcycle during the design performance of the big wheelers and the smaller wheelers are markedly different. Since both the big wheelers and small wheelers procedure. However, bicycle design is still a matter of have same fundamental geometry, most blame the small wheel for craftsmanship rather the engineering. Most of the frame this discrepancy in the performance. This paper reviews existing builders use trial and error methods or some empirical guidelines for bicycle design, especially the front steering geometry guidelines derived based on the experiences [2]-[6] to design for the bicycle, and provides a systematic and quantitative analysis of the bicycle frames. Those guidelines are basically used to different wheel sized bicycles. A validated mathematical model has maintain the cyclist’s ergonomic in the bicycle. Cyclist’s body been used as a tool to assess the dynamic performance of the bicycles in term of their self-stability.
