Abstract: Bicycle pedal including a hub journaled on a pedal shaft extending from the crank arm of a bicycle sprocket and having crossbars at opposite ends of the hub, and tread supports connecting the crossbars together. The tread supports are uniformly bowed in plan and are generally channel shaped in cross section and have hollow treads rectangular in cross section slid along the supports from the inner ends of the supports. The inner ends of the tread supports are crimped to the inner crossbar. Each pedal tread has an outwardly opening channel extending along its outer side having a reflector visible along the channel. In one form of the invention the reflector is slipped along a channel before the pedal tread is slipped along its tread support and is retained in position by the bow of the pedal tread and tread support as slipped along the channel. In other forms of the invention the reflectors are directly carried by the tread supports and retained in position by the treads. The base of the channel is transparent.

Abstract translation: 自行车踏板，包括轴颈，该轮毂轴承在从自行车链轮的曲柄臂延伸并且在轮毂的相对端处具有横梁的踏板轴上，以及将十字杆连接在一起的胎面支撑。 胎面支撑件平面地均匀地弯曲并且通常为横截面的通道形状，并且具有沿支撑件从支撑件的内端滑动的横截面为矩形的中空胎面。 胎面支撑件的内端被压接到内横梁上。 每个踏板胎面具有沿其外侧延伸的向外开口的通道，其具有沿通道可见的反射器。 在本发明的一种形式中，在踏板踏板沿其胎面支撑滑动之前，反射器沿着通道滑动，并且沿着通道滑动而被踏板胎面和胎面支撑件的弓保持在适当的位置。 在本发明的其它形式中，反射器由胎面支撑件直接承载并由胎面保持在适当位置。 通道的基础是透明的。
