摘要:
A solitary chainring (50) of a bicycle front crankset for engaging a drive chain, including a plurality of teeth (52) formed about a periphery of the chainring, the plurality of teeth (52) consisting of an even number. The plurality of teeth (52) includes a first group of teeth (58) and a second group of teeth (60) arranged alternatingly between the first group of teeth (58). The first group of teeth (58) and the second group of teeth (60) are equal in number. Each of the first and second group of teeth include an outboard side (54) and an inboard side (56) opposite the outboard side (54) and each tooth of the first group of teeth (58) includes at least a first protrusion on the outboard side (54) thereof and each tooth of the second group of teeth (60) are free of the first protrusions on the outboard side (54) and the inboard side (56).

A right crank arm assembly (1) for a bicycle, comprises a right crank arm (5) and at least one front sprocket (10) coupled with the crank arm at at least one coupling portion (44) of the crank arm. The front sprocket (10) has an inner side adapted, in use, to face towards the frame of the bicycle and an outer side opposite the inner side. The assembly (1) comprises at least one first crank arm element (30) which acts in contact with the front sprocket (10) on one of said sides and at least one second crank arm element (35) which acts in contact with the front sprocket (10) on the other of said sides. The contact action of the crank arm elements on the two opposite sides of the front sprocket prevents the twisting deformation of the front sprocket during pedalling. Such a deformation would cause a reduction in the transmission efficiency of the right crank arm assembly.
摘要:
Double crank alternating cycle traction system in which two independent free-turning cranks with a dynamic articulation at the place where the force is applied are strategically added to a conventional pedal cycle. The operation of the resulting mechanical composition increases the mechanical advantage of the original system. The invention is applicable to pedal cycles, mainly all kinds of bicycles, i.e. bicycles, tricycles, four-wheeled bicycles, moved by the extremities of the human body, i.e. the hands or feet.

摘要:
Provided is a pedal force sensor which, in pedal force detection utilizing an elastic body, can detect pedal force over a wide range and reduce detection errors originating from variation in the attachment position or length etc. of the elastic body. Linkage between a drive wheel (30) that is fixed to a crankshaft (14) and a sprocket (50) that transmits rotary force of the crankshaft (14) to a propelling vehicle wheel is effected by a plurality of springs (80 to 90), and furthermore the space between each spring (80 to 90) and compression means thereof is set in such a way that the compression commencement timings of the plurality of springs (80 to 90) are offset. When detecting pedal force from the phase difference of the drive wheel (30) and the sprocket (50), the number of springs that are utilized changes in accordance with the range of the phase difference. In other words, since the spring constant that is utilised differs in accordance with the range of the phase difference, the pedal force can be detected on the basis of this changing spring constant. As a result, the relationship between the amount of displacement and the pedal force is made to be nonlinear, and a pedal force sensor is thereby obtained that approximates the desired detection characteristics.

A bicycle crank assembly is provided with a first sprocket (14), a second sprocket (16), a crank arm (12), a sprocket fixing structure (70) and an alignment tube (76). The first sprocket (12) includes a plurality of first teeth (36) and at least one first mounting portion having a first mounting opening (40). The second sprocket (16) includes a plurality of second teeth (42) and at least one second mounting portion having a second mounting opening (46). The crank arm (12) includes at least one sprocket attachment portion having a third mounting opening (60). The sprocket fixing structure (70) secures the first and second sprockets (14, 16) to the crank arm (12) via the first, second and third mounting openings (40, 46, 60). The alignment tube (76) extends through at least two of the first, second and third mounting openings (40, 46, 60).

A bicycle crank assembly is provided that basically provided with a crank arm that includes a first outer shell, a second outer shell, a first axle supporting member and a second axle supporting member. The first outer shell has a first elongated portion with a first axle attachment end. The second outer shell has a second elongated portion with a second axle attachment end. The first and second outer shells are adhesively attached together to form an interior cavity therebetween. The first axle supporting member is disposed at the first axle attachment end of the first outer shell. The first axle supporting member has a first bore with a first splined inner surface that is at least partially disposed in the interior cavity between the first and second outer shells. The second axle supporting member is disposed at the second axle attachment end of the second outer shell. The second axle supporting member has a second bore with a second splined inner surface that aligns with the first splined inner surface of the first bore and that is at least partially disposed in the interior cavity between the first and second outer shells.

An exercise device (20) includes a frame (22) and a drive mechanism (100) attached to the frame. The drive mechanism includes a first shaft (122) having a first fixed gear (128) and a second shaft (124) having a second fixed gear (130). The first fixed gear and the second fixed gear are mechanically linked to cause the first shaft to rotate in an opposite direction than the second shaft. A first linear input is mechanically linked to the first shaft and a second linear input is mechanically linked to the second shaft.
