摘要： In one aspect, a wheel hub apparatus including a wheel hub that is rotatable about a central axis and has a unitary, one-piece construction. The wheel hub apparatus further includes a circular brake element having a unitary, one-piece construction and extending about the wheel hub. The wheel hub and the circular brake element include engaged portions securing the wheel hub and the circular brake element together. The engaged portions of the wheel hub and the circular brake element fix the circular brake element against axial movement along the wheel hub. In this manner, the engaged portions of the wheel hub and the circular brake element provide a mechanical joint that connects the wheel hub and the circular brake element using the material of the wheel hub and the circular brake element.

摘要： Provided is a turning function-equipped having a reduced size and having improved strength to an external shock force and improved reliability. The turning function-equipped hub unit includes: a hub unit main body; a unit support member; and a turning actuator. The unit support member is provided to a chassis frame component. The unit support member includes an abutment part with which a part of the hub unit main body is brought into abutment in a vertical direction during non-normal time, the abutment part being separated from the hub unit main body in the vertical direction during normal time, and the non-normal time in which the abutment is caused, is a time when an impact load equal to or greater than a predetermined value acts on the hub unit main body in the vertical direction due to an external force from the wheel.

摘要： A bicycle rear hub assembly comprises a hub axle, a hub body, and a sprocket support body. The hub axle includes an axle through-bore that has a minimum inner diameter equal to or larger than 13 mm. The hub body is rotatably mounted on the hub axle about a rotational center axis of the bicycle rear hub assembly. The sprocket support body is rotatably mounted on the hub axle about the rotational center axis.

摘要： Skewer for tightening a cycle wheel to the cycle frame, such skewer including a first end having a threaded portion cooperable with a female thread of a first frame portion, and a second end having axial abutment mechanisms for contacting a second frame portion, as well as drive mechanisms to enable a user to alternately exert a tightening torque or a loosening torque. A torque limiting mechanism operational in the tightening direction is positioned between the drive mechanisms and the rod. The skewer further includes a braking device to increase the torque required to initiate the rotation of the drive mechanisms in the loosening direction. The braking device includes two mutually contacting friction surfaces when the axial abutment mechanisms are in contact with the second frame portion. When the torque limiting mechanism is operational, the braking device becomes non-operational because the friction surfaces are no longer in mutual contact.

摘要： A lock nut system includes a nut having a retaining member which includes a keeper having locking teeth configured to engage with the lock nut teeth. The locking teeth are offset in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to allow the lock nut to be locked into position on the shaft without further rotation or other adjustment of the nut.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a bicycle hub, and more particularly, to a levitating bicycle hub coupling structure using a magnet in the internal contact structure in order to upgrade the levitating non-contact type structure to reduce friction and enable the position of a hub inner shaft member for transmitting the load of a user to an inner bearing part and the like to be changed to an upper or lower preset position, and fixes the same at a changed position so as to offset the load applied to the shaft member by the repulsive force of the magnets, such that the load is not applied to the bearing parts positioned at both sides of the shaft member or is significantly reduced so as to improve rolling performance, and thus riding of the bicycle becomes smoother and easier; or has first and second internal magnet parts formed at the outer peripheries of both sides of the housing rotating by being connected to bicycle wheels, and has first and second external magnet parts corresponding to the first and second internal magnet parts so as to generate repulsive force, such that when the user gets on the bicycle, an eccentric load transmitted to the shaft member through a bicycle frame is supported by the repulsive force, thereby enabling the prevention of load being applied to the bearing parts.
