POWER UNIT AND METHOD
A power unit for a pedal vehicle includes a pedal shaft, an output shaft arranged to transfer torque to a vehicle wheel, a main epicyclic gear set arranged to control transmission ratio between the pedal shaft and the output shaft, an assist motor connected to an assist gear of the main epicyclic gear set, and a control motor connected to a control gear of the main epicyclic gear set. The control motor and the control gear form a control assembly of the power unit. The power unit includes a one-way clutch provided to the control assembly of the power unit and arranged to transmit rotation in only a first rotation direction.

Clutch arrangement, and gear mechanism unit for a vehicle which can be driven by muscle power
A coupling arrangement for coupling members as a gear change coupling in a gear mechanism unit includes a first member and a second member. The first member has a coupling toothing system. At least one locking body arrangement is mounted pivotably on the second member. The locking body arrangement can be pivoted into a coupling position, in the case of which a driving section on the locking body arrangement engages into the coupling toothing system. The locking body arrangement can be pivoted into a release position, in the case of which the driving section of the locking body arrangement does not engage into the coupling toothing system. The locking body arrangement has a locking body carrier which is mounted pivotably on the second member, and has a locking body member which is mounted pivotably on the locking body carrier and on which the driving section is configured.
Hub, in particular for bicycles
A hub for partially muscle-powered vehicles, including a hollow hub axle with a cylindrical inner through hole for the passage of a clamping axle, a hub shell rotatably supported relative to the hub axle by two hub bearings, a rotor rotatably supported relative to the hub axle, and a freewheel device with a hub-side freewheel component and a rotor-side freewheel component, each having axial engagement components for engagement with one another. The hub shell is rotatably supported relative to the hub axle in a rotor-side end region by a rotor-side hub bearing, and in an opposite end region of the hub shell by another hub bearing. The hub-side freewheel component is non-rotatably connected with the hub shell. The rotor-side freewheel component is non-rotatably connected with the rotor and is movable in the axial direction relative to the rotor and the hub shell between a freewheel position and an engagement position.

Individually Phased Pawl Drive Mechanism
An individually phased pawl drive mechanism includes a plurality of pawls each including a plurality of protrusions forming at least one slot between a corresponding pairing of the plurality of protrusions; a pawl carrier member sized and configured for receipt of the plurality of pawls; a drive ring carrier member including a plurality of circumferentially displaced teeth; wherein rotation in one direction causes a first one of the plurality of circumferentially displaced teeth to engage a first one of the plurality of pawls, the primary pawl; and wherein continued rotation is permitted if the drive force is sufficient to cause deflection of the pawl carrier member relative to the drive ring carrier member, thereby causing one or more subsequent ones of the plurality of secondary pawls each to be brought into engagement in succession with a corresponding one of the plurality of circumferentially displaced teeth.

Power transmission elements, torque measuring device and freewheel assembly
A load cell for determining a radial force acting on a crankshaft having a receiving sleeve for receiving a bearing ring and a fastening ring for attaching the load cell in a transmission housing. Axial support areas are provided on the fastening ring for axially supporting the outer ring of the first bearing. Moreover, measuring regions for receiving radial forces of the receiving sleeve are provided which connect the receiving sleeve with the fastening ring. Strain sensors are attached to at least two of the measuring regions.
