FREEWHEEL HUB
20210129584 · 2021-05-06 · ·

The present disclosure provides a bicycle hub that provides improved drive line efficiency and bike-to-rider torque feedback. The drive line efficiencies are due to lower rolling resistance resulting from a novel bearing and sprag clutch configuration, a lightweight design, and immediate torque transfer from the cassette drive to the hub body. The bike-to-rider feedback has been improved as the torque transfer is smooth, predictable, and immediate.

BICYCLE HUB STRUCTURE
20210155038 · 2021-05-27 ·

A bicycle hub structure includes: a hub body including a first clutch ring, a sprocket support body connecting to the hub body and including a second clutch ring, first magnets and a magnetic ring. The magnetic ring is disposed on an axial side of the second clutch ring far away from the hub body, and the first magnets are disposed on a side of the second clutch ring adjacent to the magnetic ring. The sprocket support body includes a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first magnets and the magnetic ring attract the first clutch ring, so that the first clutch ring is in contact with the second clutch ring, and in the second state, a magnetic attracting force of the first magnets and the magnetic ring on the first clutch ring is less than that in the first state.

Free wheel assembly with front clutches for a bicycle

A free wheel assembly with front clutches comprising a hub sleeve rotatable on a hub pin and a cassette rotatable on the hub pin, a first annular body rotatable on the hub pin and comprising a first crown gear, a second annular body associated with the hub sleeve and comprising a matching second crown gear facing the first crown gear. The first annular body is axially movable relative to the second annular body between a motion transmission configuration and a free wheel configuration and coupling members operate between the first annular body and the cassette. In the free wheel configuration, rotation of the cassette relative to the first annular body forces the coupling members to axially translate the first annular body towards the second annular body, and magnetic members active on the first annular body and opposing the rotation of the first annular body with respect to the hub pin.

Bicycle hub includes a shell rotatably supported relative to a hub axle, a rotor rotatably supported by two rotor bearings, and a freewheel device having two interacting freewheel components: a hub-side freewheel component and a rotor-side freewheel component. The freewheel components each include axial engagement elements and are axially movable relative to one another between a freewheel position and an engaging, driving torque position. The hub-side freewheel component includes a threaded axial body section and is screwed into the hub shell. The hub-side freewheel component has an axial, annular surface on which the axial engagement elements are configured. The rolling members of a hub bearing show a defined accommodation inside the hub-side freewheel component to support the shell relative to the hub axle. The hub-side freewheel component includes a tool contour which couples to an adapted tool for releasing the screw connection of the hub-side freewheel component with the shell.

Bicycle rear sprocket adapter

The plurality of external spline teeth is configured to engage with a bicycle rear sprocket assembly. The plurality of internal spline teeth is configured to engage with a bicycle hub assembly. At least two internal spline teeth of the plurality of internal spline teeth are circumferentially arranged at a first internal pitch angle with respect to a rotational center axis of the bicycle hub assembly. The first internal pitch angle ranges from 10 degrees to 20 degrees.

BICYCLE HUB UNIT AND BICYCLE WHEEL ASSEMBLY
20210061001 · 2021-03-04 ·

To provide a bicycle hub unit and a bicycle wheel assembly that allow a wheel unit to be appropriately coupled to a hub body, a bicycle hub unit is coupled to a rotary body to which a brake is applied by a brake device. The bicycle hub unit includes a hub body that rotates around a hub axle and a rotary body coupling portion that couples the rotary body to the hub body. The hub body includes a first joint portion and a second joint portion. The first joint portion includes an external thread coupled to an internal thread of the wheel unit. The second joint portion is coupled to a restriction member that restricts relative rotation of the first joint portion and the wheel unit.

Bicycle rear sprocket assembly

A bicycle rear sprocket assembly comprises a sprocket support and a first sprocket. The sprocket support includes a hub engagement part configured to engage with a bicycle hub assembly. The sprocket support includes a plurality of sprocket attachment members extending radially outwardly from the hub engagement part with respect to a rotational center axis of the bicycle rear sprocket assembly. The first sprocket is attached to the plurality of sprocket attachment members. The first sprocket includes a first sprocket body and a plurality of first sprocket teeth which extends radially outwardly from the first sprocket body with respect to the rotational center axis and a total number of which is equal to or larger than thirty-four. The first sprocket has a plurality of shifting facilitation areas. A total number of the plurality of shifting facilitation areas is a divisor of a total number of the plurality of sprocket attachment members.
