A moving mechanism configured to be assembled to an object to adjust a movement of the object is provided. The moving mechanism includes a bracket, a first wheel, a brake module, a control module, and a sensing module. The bracket is assembled to the object. The first wheel and the brake module are assembled to the bracket. The control module communicates with and drives the brake module. The sensing module communicates with the brake module, and the sensing module is configured to sense an orientation of the object. The control module adjusts a brake force of the brake module on the first wheel based on the orientation of the object.

Apparatus for visually indicating a loose wheel nut on a motor vehicle has a first ring for engaging a first wheel nut so as to be rotatable therewith and a second ring for engaging a second wheel nut adjacent to the first wheel nut so as to be rotatable therewith. The first ring has a first pointer for indicating a start position of the first ring, and the second ring has a second pointer for indicating a start position of the second ring. A resiliently flexible elongate member interconnects the first and second rings. The elongate member is configured to curve in at least two directions and has a first end portion connected to the first ring and an opposed second end portion connected to the second ring. In use, any loosening rotation of the first wheel nut will cause the first ring and is pointer to rotate therewith, thereby providing a visual indication of a loosening of the first wheel nut.

A bicycle hub apparatus may comprise a wheel hub, a freewheel and a driving base. The freewheel comprises a first chainwheel and a second chainwheel, a first elastic piece, and a second elastic piece. A lateral surface of the first chainwheel comprises a first teeth while a lateral surface of the second chianwheel has a third teeth, and the first teeth is configured to engage with the third teeth to have a synchronous rotation in clockwise direction. Also, the other lateral surface of the first chainwheel has a second teeth while the other lateral surface of the second chainwheel comprises a fourth teeth such that when the first chainwheel and the second chainwheel are rolled over, the second teeth is adapted to engage with the fourth teeth to have a synchronous rotation in counterclockwise direction.

A wireguard subassembly includes a first circumferential segment defining a proximate end including a ledge at least partially defining a notch; a second circumferential segment defining a distal end disposed adjacent the proximate end of the first circumferential segment; and a gusset member including a tab at least partially disposed in the notch on top of the ledge.

A wireguard subassembly includes a first circumferential segment defining a circumferential direction, a first near end, a first far end, and a first cleat portion disposed circumferentially between the first near end and the first far end; and a second circumferential segment defining a second near end, a second far end, and a second cleat portion disposed circumferentially between the second near end and the second far end. The second cleat portion is circumferentially aligned with the first cleat portion.

A nipple for spoked wheels includes a head and a rod which are coaxial and through which a through-hole extends, a manoeuvring key in the head and an insert of plastics material which is inserted in the hole in order to engage in a screwing manner with friction with a threaded end of a spoke. The hole comprises a threaded portion which extends in the rod and a portion with an increased diameter which constitutes the seat for receiving the insert, the insert being formed with a tubular sleeve inserted in the seat at the side of the head and being blocked there by means of interference or adhesive bonding.

A wheel rim protective disk having a reinforcement spine continuously disposed from a wheel side to a depth less than a thickness of the protective disk. A first embodiment mounts to a wheel having a channel with a second width substantially conforming to a width of the protective disk, and a second depth less than the thickness of the protective disk. A plurality of receiving apertures is disposed through the channel to align with a plurality of mounting apertures in the protective disk. In an alternative embodiment, the protective disk mounts to a mounting disk that in turn mounts to a second wheel having a second plurality of mounting apertures. The mounting disk has the channel, the lower section and the plurality of receiving apertures. In a second alternative embodiment, the protective disk mounts to a 3D printed, contoured mounting disk that in turn mounts to a standard factory wheel.

A hub assembly includes a retainer housing, a retaining member, a biasing element, and an occlusion. The retainer housing includes a wheel mounting sleeve and a pin sleeve. The wheel mounting sleeve includes an axle bore configured to receive an axle. The pin sleeve has a first end and a second end. The pin sleeve includes a conduit between the first end and the second end. The first end is in fluid communication with the axle bore. The retaining member and the biasing element are in the conduit. The retaining member is configured to engage a groove in an axle. The biasing element is configured to bias the retaining member towards the axle bore. The occlusion is proximate to the second end of the pin sleeve. The occlusion is configured to inhibit the retaining member from exiting the conduit at least prior to coupling the hub assembly to a wheel.

A drive device for driving and rotating a wheel includes an axle shaft, a hub to which rotation of the axle shaft is conveyed, a plurality of fasteners for securing the wheel to the hub, a wet brake, a housing, an oil seal, and a cover. The wet brake is configured to restrain the rotation of the axle shaft. The housing accommodates the axle shaft and the wet brake. The oil seal is disposed between the housing and a part of the hub that is disposed inward of the fasteners in a radial direction of the hub. The cover has an annular shape. The cover is disposed in a space formed between the hub and the housing, and is secured to the housing. The cover is configured to cover the plurality of fasteners.

An axle assembly includes a first axle shaft. The first axle shaft includes a first conduit. A second axle shaft includes a second conduit. The first conduit and the second conduit are in fluid communication through a chamber. A differential is operatively connected to the first axle shaft and the second axle shaft. The chamber is at least partially disposed within the differential.
