Abstract: A seat post assembly has a lightweight bridge (106) that snaps between tubular portions of a seat rail (108), where the bridge has ridges on opposing sides. A clamping mechanism (104) is connected to a seat post (102), where the clamping mechanism has two opposing clamps (116) and a single bolt (126) that attaches the clamps to the seat post. The clamps each have a curved groove (118) matching a curved ridge (112) at the base of the seat post. This allows the seat to be adjusted in angle. Each clamp also has a semi- cylindrical groove (120) that engages "with the tubular portions of the seat rail, where the upper portion of the groove has an opening (130) that engages with the ridges of the bridge to allow the clamping mechanism and bridge to move together and adjust the seat in a fore and aft position. An opening (124) is provided in both clamps for the bolt, where one portion of the bolt has a notch, and one opening has a groove to secure the bolt' when tightening or loosening the bolt.

Abstract: A quick release camming mechanism is used in a bicycle skewer that secures a hub to a fork. Whereas prior art quick release mechanisms have only a single lever, this mechanism has two independent levers. About half the force is required to independently push either lever closed as to push both levers closed simultaneously. Similarly, about half the force is required to open either lever individually as to open them simultaneously. A similar quick release camming mechanism also works well for a quick release seat post clamp with similar advantages. The present invention is not limited to use on bicycle components.

Abstract: A clipless mechanism for a four-sided clipless bicycle pedal is made by a stamping and welding process. The stamping is preferably a progressive stamping process. The stamped parts include two components, an inner wing and an outer wing. The two stamped components are generally similar in shape to each other, but the inner wing fits within the outer wing. Each part is first stamped as a flat pattern by a progressive die. Each part then has radii stamped into the edges by the second station of the progressive die. Next, each part is partially folded by the third station of the progressive die. Then each part is folded completely by the fourth station of the progressive die. The actual number of steps may vary depending upon the material chosen, the thickness of the material and the design of the stamping tool. Then each part is welded closed and the resulting rectangular wings are assemblied in juxtaposed orthogonal relation to provide four shoe cleat engaging receptacles.

Abstract: A pedal with a body that has two plates that can be easily removed or displaced to access the inner surfaces of the pedal and the backside of traction pins. In this way, traction pins can be replaced even after the pins have been worn out or broken. Also, the plates can be made out of a harder, more durable, more expensive material than the material of the body, because the plates are typically subjected to the most impact and abrasion because of the shape and location of the plates. Alternatively, the plates can be made of a relatively inexpensive material because the plates are easy to replace if worn or damaged. Also disclosed is a system for re-greasing the inside of the pedal including a screw-in end cap that can be removed, and a slot down the inside of the body that allows grease to flow around a sealed bearing.

Abstract translation: 具有主体的踏板具有两个板，其可以容易地移除或移位以进入踏板的内表面和牵引销的后侧。 以这种方式，即使在销已经磨损或破裂之后，也可以更换牵引销。 此外，由于板的形状和位置，板通常受到最大的冲击和磨损，因此板可以由比主体的材料更硬，更耐用，更昂贵的材料制成。 或者，板可以由相对便宜的材料制成，因为如果磨损或损坏的板易于更换。 还公开了一种用于重新润滑踏板内部的系统，其包括可移除的螺旋式端盖，以及允许润滑脂围绕密封轴承流动的主体内部的槽。

Abstract: A pedal with a shaft fixed to the pedal body instead of a spindle that turns relative to the pedal body. The shaft is fixed relative to the pedal body. The pedal shaft rotates relative to the crank arm instead. A sealed cartridge ball bearing is mounted to the end of a crank arm and held in position by a retainer. The shaft is fitted through the sealed cartridge ball bearing of the crank arm and a screw secures the shaft in position. This changes the pedal to crank interface. The pedal does not require bearings or bushings or seals as with prior art pedals, because the shaft rotates within the sealed cartridge bearing held within the crank arm. The shaft and pedal body can be combined to create an even simpler pedal.

Abstract: A hollow bicycle crank arm has a central tubular portion to reduce weight and two mounting-boss portions for mounting a crank spindle and pedal during use. A crank arm base is forged or cast with a relatively thin back and sides, preferably out of aluminum or magnesium. The crank arm bare has a generally C-shaped cross section. An arm cover has a top and sides and is made from stamped steel or titanium. The cover is placed over the open crank arm base to enclose a significant hollow section. The stamped arm cover does not require any threading or welding. It can be made using a very inexpensive stamping process. The crank arm can be made using relatively inexpensive traditional manufacturing processes such as die casting or forging.
