    摘要: A cable actuated mechanical disc brake caliper includes a caliper housing and a cable guide rigidly fixed to the housing having a cable receiving bore extending along the guide axis for axially receiving a cable. A lever arm is pivotably attached to the caliper housing for pivoting about a pivot axis. The lever arm is operatively associated with the brake pad to move the brake pad between a retracted and an extended position as the lever arm is pivoted in the first direction from a non-actuated position to a fully actuated position. The lever arm has a cable clamp radially spaced from the pivotal attachment for fixedly attaching the cable to the lever arm in a select orientation relative to the lever arm and the attachment point. A guide surface is curved about the pivot axis and has a first portion attached to the lever arm with the attachment point essentially coincident therewith and a second portion circumferentially spaced from the first portion. The second portion is essentially tangent to the guide axis with the lever arm in the non-actuated position. A method of directing cable to a lever arm of a cable actuated mechanical disc brake described above includes providing a cable guide rigidly attached to the caliper housing defining a cable guide axis a select radial distance from the pivot axis and feeding the cable through the cable guide. The cable is attached to the lever arm at an attachment point about the select radial distance from the pivot axis. The cable is maintained essentially tangent to the guide axis as the lever is pivoted between the non-actuated and the actuated positions.

    摘要: A bicycle disc brake caliper includes a lever arm rotatable about a pivot axis and a rotary to linear linkage between the lever arm and a brake pad translating rotation of the lever arm in an advancement and a return direction to linear advancement or return, respectively, of the brake pad. A return spring is coiled about a spring axis as a first end is fixed against rotation relative to the lever arm and a second end is rotatable with the lever arm about the spring axis. A screw is selectively rotatable about a screw axis and is operatively associated with an end of the spring to selectively rotate the end of the spring relative to the other end of the spring about the spring axis by rotation of the screw independent of movement of the lever arm to adjust the return force applied by the spring to the lever arm.

    摘要: A cable feed for a cable actuated bicycle includes a housing and an actuator residing within the housing operatively associated with the cable. The cable feed consists of a mount attached to the housing having a mount orifice along a guide axis. A cylindrical ferrule having an axial bore extending between first and second ferrule ends includes a barb at the first end and a stop near the second end. The ferrule is axially inserted within the first end leading into the mount orifice with the stop halting axial insertion of the ferrule into the mount orifice. A minor elastic boot having a first end with an inwardly extending angular flange mates with the attachment barb and has an outer diameter at the first end large enough to prevent axial withdraw of the ferrule from the mount orifice.

    摘要: A disc brake assembly is disclosed which is attachable to the wheel supporting portion of the frame of a cycle and which allows the orientation of the planar braking surface of the brake pad assembly to be infinitely variable within a defined range The disc brake assembly consists of a disc fixedly attached to a wheel, a plurality of brake pad assemblies each having a planar braking surface facing the disc and a caliper retaining the brake pad assemblies in an operative position. When braking occurs, the caliper advances at least one of the brake pad assemblies to bring the planar braking surfaces of the brake pad assemblies into and out of contact with the disc. In addition, means is disclosed for attaching each of the brake pad assemblies to the caliper with an orientation of the planar braking surface of the brake pad assembly being infinitely variable within a defined range. Thus, the planar braking surface of each brake pad assembly is capable of being independently aligned planar parallel with a plane of orientation of the disc.

    摘要: A caliper drive for a bicycle ball bearing mechanical disc brake caliper includes a first cam fixed against axial movement relative to an advancement axis during caliper actuation and a second cam moveably axially of the advancement axis relative to the fixed cam during caliper actuation. A plurality of ramped grooves reside between the first cam and the second cam and each ramped groove receives a ball bearing. The ramped grooves are configured to cause axial movement of the second cam relative to the first cam upon relative rotation of the cams about the advancement axis. Each ramped groove has a side wall defining a radially stable path for the ball bearing substantially preventing relative radial movement between the fixed and drive cams.

    摘要: A disc brake caliper includes a housing containing a pair of opposing brake pad assemblies configured to reside on opposite sides of a disc operatively associated therewith. At least one of the brake pad assemblies is advanced and retracted relative to the disc by a drive mechanism along an advancement axis to effect braking. A pad wear compensation apparatus is operatively associated with at least one of the brake pad assemblies to advance the brake pad assembly along the advancement axis as it wears. The pad wear compensation apparatus includes an adjustment knob attached to the housing for rotation about a rotation axis and fixed against axial movement. A rotary to linear linkage between the at least one brake pad assembly and the knob provides axial advancement of the brake pad assembly relative to the housing upon axial rotation of the knob in a select direction. A method for attaching a disc brake caliper requires a disc brake caliper having a pad wear compensation apparatus operatively associated with each of the brake pad assemblies. An attachment structure is provided between the caliper housing and the bicycle frame which allows for infinite variation of an angle of incidence between the advanced axis and the plane of the disc. Using the pad wear compensating structure, the pads are advanced relative to the housing into flush contact with the disc and the attachment structure is secured to prevent movement of the caliper housing relative to the frame. Thereafter the pads are retracted using the pad wear compensating structure a selected distance from the disc to allow periphery rotation of the disc between the pads.

    摘要: The present invention is a quick detach swivel utilizing pawls to engage a ridge or trench in a socket. The pawls are biased outward by the spurs of two sliding buttons which cam the pawls in an upright and outward orientation. When the buttons are squeezed together, the cam lock is released and the pawls fall into the swivel frame, releasing the swivel body. When pressure on the buttons is released, the buttons return to their normal positions and catch the pawls, returning them to their upright and engaged position.
