Abstract

The invention relates to a tightening and adjusting assembly for a steering system of a bicycle. The steering system generally includes a head tube, a steering tube rotatably mounted within the head tube by means of upper and lower headsets, and a handlebar stem tube mounted around the steering tube. The tightening and adjusting assembly has a preload member, an anchoring member and a tightening and adjusting set. The preload member is engaged with a top end of the handlebar stem tube. The anchoring member is abutted against a bottom end of the steering tube. The tightening and adjusting set is disposed in the interior of the steering tube and between the preload member and the anchoring member to draw the preload and anchoring members together and thus preload the upper and lower headsets of the steering system.

Abstract

A bicycle freecoaster hub includes a clutch to provide a clutching effect during riding. The clutch has a clutch member, and first and second resistance members. The first resistance member is located inside the clutch member and includes a cylinder and flanges at each end. The second resistance member includes a ring sleeve part located inside the clutch member and mounted on the cylinder of the first resistance member and abutted against the first flange of the first resistance member. An elastic member is sleeved onto the cylinder of the first resistance member and abutted between the outer flange of the first resistance member and the second resistance member, so as to provide sufficient resistance for the clutch member. The hub bearings are arranged in such a way that the drive mechanism is isolated from axial loads.

Abstract

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure an inner tube comprises an encasing configured to hold air. The encasing comprises a reinforcing structure configured such that, as the encasing is inflated, an overall major diameter of the inner tube is reduced. The inner tube also comprises an inflation valve coupled to the encasing and configured to allow inflation of the encasing. Further, the inner tube comprises a pressure valve coupled to the encasing. The pressure valve is configured to be biased closed and allow air to leave the encasing when a differential pressure between inside of the encasing and outside of the encasing reaches a threshold pressure level. In the same or alternative embodiments, the encasing also comprises a reinforcing structure configured such that, as the encasing is inflated, an overall major diameter of inner tube is reduced.

Abstract

A high efficiency bicycle hub for near frictionless free wheeling comprising a hub having a toothed engagement ring, a driver having a retractable engagement member that can engage and disengage from the hub, and a retraction device to facilitate a disengaged configuration. The retraction device comprises a retaining ring having retraction members and the retractable engagement member comprises reciprocal retraction members to “catch” the retraction member to maintain a disengaged configuration. In use, forward rotation of the driver engages the retractable engagement member with the toothed engagement ring of the hub to drive the hub. Reverse rotation of the driver rotates the reciprocal retraction members underneath or behind the retraction member thereby disengaging the driver from the hub.

Abstract

A high efficiency bicycle hub (20) for near frictionless free wheeling comprising a hub (30) having a toothed engagement ring (704), a driver (42) having a retractable engagement member (700) that can engage and disengage from the hub (30), and a retraction device (702) to facilitate a disengaged configuration. The retraction device (702) comprises a retaining ring (728) having retraction members (730) and the retractable engagement member (700) comprises reciprocal retraction members (736) to "catch" the retraction member (730) to maintain a disengaged configuration. In use, forward rotation of the driver (42) engages the retractable engagement member (700) with the toothed engagement ring (704) of the hub (30) to drive the hub (30). Reverse rotation of the driver (42) rotates the reciprocal retraction members (736) underneath or behind the retraction member (730) thereby disengaging the driver (42) from the hub (30).

Abstract

A bicycle pedal apparatus is provided formed from two identical halves comprising a plurality of holes. A bolt secures the two halves through the holes and projects out beyond the surface of the pedal, thereby performing a dual role of securing the two halves together and serving as a traction mechanism. The pedal bodies rotate about a pedal axle either directly on the axle or on bearings. In embodiments utilizing bearings, two different bearings are used, roller bearings to bear the rotational load and thrust bearings to bear any axial load. The pedal axle can be tapered with a flanged head and resides in a cavity in the pedal body that substantially conforms to the shape of the pedal axle so as to minimize movement of the pedal axle within the pedal body.
