    摘要: A ball bearing mechanical disc brake (10) includes a pad wear compensating apparatus using an adjustment knob (106, 264) and a rotary to linear linkage between the adjustment knob (106, 264) and a brake pad assembly (72, 74) to advance and retract the brake pad assembly as dictated by wear. A cable guide system for maintaining axial tension in a flexible cable utilizes a straight length of axially and radially rigid tubing (70). A retaining structure for a friction pad and plate assembly utilizes a pad retention clip (85) defining an elongate track and a complimentary retention tab (370) on a plate of the friction pad and plate assembly (72, 74) configured to snap fit within the pad retention clip (85). The plate has a handle (381) which is textured (395, 396, 397) to provide for enhanced gripping of the handle. A caliper drive of the ball bearing mechanical disc brake has a plurality of ramps (162, 200) between first (158) and second (178) cams of the drive mechanism with each ramp having a sidewall defining a radially stable path for a ball bearing (176) residing within the ramp. A spring tension adjuster for the ball bearing mechanical disc brake includes a coil spring (228) having a first end ((230) attached to a pivot arm and a second end (232) fixed relative to the first end. One of the first and second ends is moveable independent of the lever arm to adjust and maintain a select spring tension.

    摘要: A bicycle brake lever (10) adjustable to vary the leverage applied to a bicycle brake connected to the lever (10). The lever (10) includes brake handle (14) having an elongated finger grip (50) and a transverse elongated mounting arm (52) joined at their proximal ends and integrally formed. The mounting arm (52) is attached to a handle mount (12) for pivotal movement about a fixed axis. A cable link (16) is attached to the mounting arm of the brake handle by a slidable attachment (44, 64) for slidable movement along the length of the mounting arm (52) toward and away from a fixed axis. The cable link (16) includes an attachment for attaching a brake cable (78) thereto. A user may fix the cable link (16) at a select position along the length of the mounting arm (52) against slidable movement.

    摘要: A master cylinder (12) for a bicycle hydraulic disc brake includes a cylinder (50) having a port (32) in fluid communication with a hydraulic fluid reservoir (28). The port (32) opens to the cylinder between first (51) and second ends (52) of the cylinder. A piston (54) within the cylinder (50) is movable between a select starting position with the seal (56) between the first end of the cylinder (50) and the port opening (32) with the piston (54) a select distance from the port opening (32) and a pressurized position with the seal between the port opening (32) and the second end of the cylinder. A dead-band adjustment structure (20,76,108) is operatively associated with the piston (54) for moving the select starting position to adjust the select distance between the port opening (32) and the seal. A lever (16) is pivotably attached to the housing (12) and is operatively associated with the piston (54) to move the piston (54) between the select starting position and the pressurized position as the lever (16) is pivoted between a rest position and a fully-actuated position. A compensating structure operatively associated with the dead-band adjustment structure (20,76,108) and the lever (16) maintains the lever (16) in a select rest position as the dead-band adjustment structure (20,76,108) is actuated to move the select starting position.

    摘要: An attachment structure for a caliper of a disc brake assembly (10) consisting of a caliper (12) and a rotor (14). The caliper (12) is attached to a wheel supporting portion of a cycle frame (16) which supports a wheel with the rotor (14) fixedly attached to the wheel and the rotor lying in a fixed a plane relative to the supporting portion of the frame. The supporting portion of the frame has a pair of attachment bores (34) oriented to attach the caliper (12) with the rotor (14) received between a pair of brake pads advanced into and out of contact with the rotor (14) by the caliper (12) along a select axis. The attachment structure allows for infinite variation of the angle of incidence between the select axis and the plane of the rotor within a defined range. Attachment bolts (64) secure the caliper (12) to the frame (16) with a select angle of incidence between the select axis and the plane of the rotor.

    摘要: A symmetric clamp structure having a first arm and a second arm. Both the first arm and the second arm having coaxial threaded bores through the distal ends of each arm. The symmetric clamp structure also includes a screw having a shank, the shank having a head at one end and being threaded at a second opposite end. The threaded portion of the shank is sized and has a pitch appropriate for threadably engaging the screw with the threaded bores through the distal end of both the first and second arm of the clamp structure. The shank of the screw also has a clearance portion between the threaded portion and the head. The screw is threadably engaged with one of the first or second threaded bores such that the head abuts the arm opposite the threaded engagement. The clearance portion has an outer diameter sized to clear the tips of the threads of the threaded bores and a length at least equal to the axial length of each threaded bore. Preferably the axial length of the clearance portion exceeds the axial length of each threaded bore.
