BICYCLE WHEEL HUB STRUCTURE
20230322021 · 2023-10-12 ·

The invention relates to bicycle wheel hub structure, wherein two sides of wheel hub’s hub body are provided with wheel hub disc sets. The wheel hub disc sets are spaced with outer and inner hub discs. When assembled with several wheel spokes and a wheel frame, one end of the several wheel spokes is fixedly combined with the wheel frame and the other end of which is fixedly combined with the outer hub disc and the inner wheel hub respectively, so to disperse the stress generated by the wheel spokes, avoiding excessive force on the outer hub or inner hub. The outer and the inner hub discs are arranged at intervals, so that the spokes will be in contact with each other when assembled, reducing friction and affecting structural strength and service life, and achieving convenient structural use and good structural use function.

INTEGRALLY FORMED CARBON FIBER SPOKE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
20230322017 · 2023-10-12 ·

The present disclosure provides an integrally formed carbon fiber spoke and a manufacturing method thereof. The method includes manufacturing a carbon fiber core body and a first metal part and a second metal part at two ends; winding or wrapping the carbon fiber core body and the metal parts at the two ends with carbon fiber prepregs to form a semi-finished product; and putting the wound or wrapped semi-finished product into a forming mold for heat forming. In the present disclosure, the metal parts are wound or wrapped with the carbon fiber prepregs, such that sandwich structures are formed between the metal parts and carbon fiber materials to expand a bonding force of bonding interfaces.

Self-sealing Automotive Spoke Wheel Nipple
20230322018 · 2023-10-12 ·

A self-sealing automotive spoke wheel nipple includes a spoke nipple and an elastic gasket. The spoke nipple that mounts the spoke into the rim includes a rotational axis, a head, a shank, and a spoke-engaging opening. The head, the shank, and the spoke-engaging opening are concentrically positioned along the rotational axis. The head is adjacently connected to the shank. The spoke-engaging opening traverses into the shank, opposite of the head so that the spoke can be threadedly engaged to the spoke nipple. The elastic gasket is laterally positioned around a shoulder portion of the shank and positioned adjacently to the head. The elastic gasket creates a hermetic connection between the rim and the spoke nipple as the elastic gasket completely seals the spoke opening of the rim during the installation process.

Wheel rim assembly

A wheel rim assembly includes a hub with a case and two flanges are formed on two ends of the case. Multiple spoke units are connected between the two flanges of the hub and the inner periphery of the rim. Each spoke unit includes a first connection member and the first end of an X-shaped spoke extends from the first connection member. Each first connection member includes a first recessed area and a second recessed area respectively defined in the outside and the inside thereof. The second recessed area is matched with the flange corresponding thereto. Each first connection member includes an engaging recess and a protrusion. The protrusion of one first connection member is engaged with the engaging recess of the next first connection member. Two covers are respectively connected two ends of the hub. The second end of each spoke is inserted into reception recess of the rim.

Lightweight Wheel with High Strength Flexible Spokes
20230311564 · 2023-10-05 ·

A lightweight wheel with high strength flexible spokes of the present invention, includes a rim and hub, and a plurality of lightweight, flexible and resilient spokes between the rim and hub made of fibrous material that causes the spokes to be both lighter in weight and stronger than comparable steel spokes. The wheel includes a nipple within the rim that receives the high strength spoke and allows for flexibility in adapting the spoke to wheels having differing shapes and sizes.

BICYCLE RIM ADAPTED TO REDUCE SPOKE FATIGUE
20230311565 · 2023-10-05 ·

A bicycle rim comprising a circumferential outer portion adapted to receive a tire and a spoke bed. The spoke bed may comprise a pattern of spoke attachment segments at varying tilt angles and spaced by intermediate segments. Each spoke attachment segment may comprise an inner surface, an outer surface and a spoke opening extending from the inner surface to the outer surface. The spoke opening may be sized to accommodate a spoke nipple. The spoke opening may have a central axis angled at a complex angle that is a combination of a respective camber angle and a respective crossing angle. The complex angle may be selected to achieve a respective spoke angle. The outer surface of the spoke attachment segment adjacent to the spoke opening may extend perpendicular to the central axis of the spoke opening.

SPOKED BICYCLE WHEEL AND SPOKE ATTACHMENT ELEMENT FOR SUCH A WHEEL
20230014717 · 2023-01-19 · ·

A spoke tension adjustment tool has a longitudinally elongated body with a central longitudinal cavity configured to house an end portion of a spoke. The housing has a longitudinal slit that allows the end portion of the spoke to enter the longitudinal cavity. The longitudinally elongated body has a grip portion and a shaped end portion configured to couple with a stem of a spoke attachment element. The shaped end portion is smaller than the grip portion and smaller than the diameter of a rim spoke attachment hole in which the stem is inserted.

Abutment interface between the head of a nipple and the bridge of a wheel rim and spoked bicycle wheel
11807035 · 2023-11-07 · ·

An abutment interface located between a spoke attachment nipple and a bridge of a rim to properly align the tensioned spoke with the rim. The abutment interface includes a first washer with a radially inner face that abuts the bridge and a radially outer face that abuts with a radially inner face of a second washer that has a radially outer face that abuts an enlarged head on the nipple. The faces of two washers are complimentarily shaped and adjust with respect to each other and the nipple head. An initial adjustment takes place when the fixing the spoke to the rim and the washers prevent any further adjustment when fixing the spoke to the rim.
