摘要:
A bicycle brake assembly having an inverted substantially U-shaped brake arm assembly (21, 21a) and a cable coupling (31, 31a) centrally positioned between outwardly and downwardly extending brake arms (32, 33). Each brake arm (32, 33) includes a resiliently flexible upper arm portion (36, 36a) connected to a downwardly and inwardly extending relatively inflexible lower arm portion (37, 37a), preferably by integrally forming the arm portions as a single member. The upper and lower arm portions are formed and coupled together, and the frame mounts (39) positioned, so that upward displacement of the cable coupling (31, 31a) causes resilient flexing of the upper arms (36, 36a), which in turn pulls the lower arms (37, 37a) toward each other to effect braking, all without straightening out of the upper and lower arms in a manner losing braking leverage. The resilient flexibility of the arm assemblies (32, 33) causes the braking arms to be returned outwardly to a non-braking position when the brake actuating force is released.

A hydraulic brake for bicycles consisting essentially of a brake lever fastened on the steering column of a bicycle which works on a master piston movably arranged in a master cylinder, wherein the chamber in the cylinder is filled with hydraulic fluid, which is conducted by way of a hydraulic tube into the chamber of a working cylinder, in which a main piston is movably arranged, which works on the brake shoes of the bicycle. Along with lower manufacturing costs, there is easy interchangeability and a good reliability in servicing the brake. A single working cylinder is fastened above the fork of the bicycle and the main piston is connected with a control head, over which a traction cable is directed, which works on the usual brake shoes.

A cantilever brake for a bicycle includes a pair of bolts each having a threaded portion engaged removably in the threaded bore of one of a pair of cantilever mounting bases fixed to a bicycle frame, a shank which is larger in diameter than its threaded portion, and a head which is larger in diameter than its shank. A pair of spring adjusting members are provided each fitted rotatably about the threaded portion of one of the bolts, and held by and between those end surfaces of the shank of the one bolt and of one of the cantilever mounting bases which face each other. A pair of cantilevers are provided each fitted rotatably about the shank of one of the bolts, and including a boss having a recess which is open towards one of the spring adjusting members. A pair of return springs are provided each housed in the recess of the boss of one of the cantilevers, and having one end engaging the boss of the one cantilever and another end engaging one of the spring adjusting members.

A brake adjustment mechanism is provided for a bicycle wheel to allow cantilevered bicycle brakes to be adjusted quickly and easily and without the application of the brakes to the bicycle wheel. The brake adjustment mechanism employs a cable yoke which has a body adapted for connection to the flexible brake cable of a conventional cantilevered bicycle brake. The yoke has a pair of projecting supports that extend outwardly from opposite sides of a yoke body and toward opposite sides of the bicycle wheel. A separate socket is carried by each of the projecting supports. The sockets are movable in rotation relative to the yoke and each socket has a tapped opening facing a separate one of the bicycle brake lever arms. A pair of elongated rigid rods are each secured at one end to separate ones of the bicycle brake lever arms. Both of the elongated rods have externally threaded ends which are threadably engaged in separate ones of the tapped openings of the sockets. Rotation of the sockets relative to the threaded rods varies the overall effective length of the rigid structures formed by the sockets and the rods, thereby varying the initial dispositions of the brake lever arms and the initial positions of the brake pads to be adjusted in the absence of a braking force.

A pair of inwardly projecting right and left mounting brackets are mounted on a fork carrying a wheel and a cantilever is pivotally carried on the inner end of each mounting bracket by a pivot shaft, with a brake shoe mounted on each cantilever. The mounting bracket is freely displaceable between an inwardly projected position and an outward withdrawn position.This device thus prevents outward projection of the cantilevers while ensuring a reliable braking with a smaller operating force. It also facilitates fitting and removal of the wheel.

Suspension wires of a bicycle brake are connected to the upper ends of a pair of brake arms (i.e., right and left brake arms) which are loosely pivotally mounted to a bicycle bodyo and are equipped with brake shoes, and the suspension wires are connected to a lower end of a Bowden cable for operating the brake via a hanger. The upper end of each suspension wire is connected to the hanger by means of a release lever. The lower end of this lever is pivotallyl mounted to the lower end of the hanger by means of a pin. Also, the upper end of the suspension wire is connected to an intermediate portion of the lever, and the pin is located outside the upper end of the suspension wire while the upper end of the lever lies against a respective side of a fastener when the brake is set.

A rim brake with central traction (1) contains two two-armed brake levers (2, 3) which are pivotably mounted on a mounting plate (4), are held under spring tension and have actuating arms (2b, 3b) which cross over each other, and also contains a central traction cable (5) which can be adjusted in its effective traction length, a cable carrier (7) provided with a clamping screw (6) to clamp the traction cable on the cable carrier, and a connection between the cable carrier (7) and the free ends (2b', 3b') of the brake lever actuating arms. In order above all to achieve particularly simple and rapid adjustment of the traction cable (5) relative to the cable carrier (7), the connection between this cable carrier and the free ends (10a, 11a) of the brake lever actuating arms (2b, 3b) is formed by two pull rods (10, 11) of equal length which on the one hand are connected pivotably to the cable carrier (7) and on the other hand are connected to the free ends of the brake lever actuating arms and have a stop surface (13, 14) which rests on an associated matching surface (15, 16) on the cable carrier (7) when the brake (1) is open.
摘要:
An improved radial braking system uses the power of the cyclist's back pedaling to bring the braking member into contact with the rim of the wheel. The system allows for the direct contact of the braking member with the middle portion of the outer surface of the rim rather than to the side of the rim, as is common with the caliper type brakes. A rim having a laterally disposed lip for mounting of the spoke allows for an unobstructed middle portion for contact with the braking member.

A holder for pulling-up wire in a center pull type caliper brake for a bicycle. The holder has an upper portion with a wire screw and a hook portion at the lower portion for hooking a pulling-up wire. A pair of finger members projecting from the holder member on both sides of the hook portion and a guide member serve to pull up wire from the hook portion.
