A bicycle hub includes an axle, a main body, a freehub body, and a clutch, which are engaged with the axle, wherein the clutch includes a first ratchet and a second ratchet. The first ratchet and the second ratchet are respectively engaged with the main body and the freehub body. The first ratchet has a first engaging surface, and the second ratchet has a second engaging surface facing the first engaging surface. The bicycle hub is characterized in that a minimum of number of first ratchet teeth on the first engaging surface is seventy-two, and a number of the second ratchet teeth on the second engaging surface is lesser than the number of first ratchet teeth. With such design, when the first ratchet is meshed with the second ratchet, the freehub body could stably drive the main body, and a total weight of the bicycle hub could be decreased.

DIRECTIONAL TRANSMISSION MECHANISM, DIRECTIONAL SPROCKET APPARATUS AND PEDAL DEVICE
20170247083 · 2017-08-31 ·

A directional transmission mechanism, a directional sprocket apparatus using the directional transmission mechanism, and a pedal device using the directional sprocket apparatus are disclosed. The directional transmission mechanism includes a driving shaft, an output shaft, a co-rotating wheel, a reverse-rotating wheel, and a switching mechanism. The co-rotating wheel set drives the output shaft to rotate in a direction that is the same as that of the driving shaft. The reverse-rotating wheel set drives the output shaft to rotate in a direction opposite to that of the driving shaft. The switching mechanism switches the driving shaft to drive the co-rotating wheel set or drive the reverse-rotating wheel set to rotate, so as to enable the output shaft to rotate directionally. The co-rotating wheel set is connected with the driving shaft and the output shaft, and the reverse-rotating wheel set is connected with the driving shaft and the output shaft.

PERIPHERAL DEVICE WITH GEAR TRAIN PROTECTION

A gear train assembly comprises a gear train and a motor to drive the gear train. A shaft which is driven by the gear train, a rubber roller engaging the shaft and being co-axial therewith. The gear train also comprises a roller gear disposed on the shaft. The roller gear disengages from a second gear that drives the shaft or the rubber roller in response to pulling of media from the peripheral containing the gear train.

Charging mechanism for charging a stored-energy spring of a stored-energy spring mechanism

A charging mechanism for charging a stored-energy spring of a stored-energy spring mechanism includes a charging gear coupled to the stored-energy spring, an intermediate shaft coupled to the charging gear, an idler gear that can be driven by a charging motor, a freewheel coupled to the idler gear, and a dog clutch that couples the freewheel to the intermediate shaft in order to charge the stored-energy spring and uncouples same from the intermediate shaft in the charged state of the stored-energy spring. The dog clutch has a first clutch block coupled to the intermediate shaft for conjoint rotation, and a second clutch block connected to the freewheel.
