BRAKING SYSTEM FOR BICYCLES OR SIMILAR

Abstract

The invention relates to a braking system for bicycles or similar, designed to be used on any type of bicycle, improving both braking and the aerodynamic performance of the corresponding bicycle, said system comprising a circular body or disc (1) formed exclusively by the area of the brake track, such that the centre of the disc (1) is completely hollow. According to the invention, the disc (1) is joined to a brake caliper (2) that is screwed to a body (3) designed as an extension of the fork (4) of the bicycle and solidly connected to same, said body housing therein sufficient cable for the activation of the braking system.

Claims

1. Braking system for bicycles or similar, said system comprising a circular body or disc and being characterised in that: said disc is formed exclusively by the area of the brake track, such that a center of the disc is completely hollow, and it has a plurality of holes on its surface that cool the system; the disc being screwed on at the outer perimeter thereof, and wherein said disc is joined to a brake caliper that is screwed to a body designed as an extension of the fork of the bicycle and solidly connected to same on a single side of said fork, and wherein said body houses therein the cable required for the activation of the braking system.

2. Braking system according to claim 1, wherein the disc is inserted inside the radial plane of the wheel and is protected by the plane produced by the spokes joining the rim to the shaft.

3. Braking system according to claim 1, wherein a surrounding body joining the surface of the heads of the spokes and the center of the wheel is positioned on said disc, whereby the rim securing mechanism is arranged on the face of the braking surface.

4. Braking system according to claim 2, wherein a surrounding body joining the surface of the heads of the spokes and the center of the wheel is positioned on said disc, whereby the rim securing mechanism is arranged on the face of the braking surface.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] A series of drawings that help to better understand the invention and are expressly related to an embodiment of said invention presented as a non-limiting example thereof is very briefly described below.

[0016] FIG. 1 shows a view of the braking system for bicycles or similar, object of the present specification.

[0017] FIG. 2 shows a detailed view of the braking system for bicycles or similar, where the disc or circular body that is integrated and protected by the spokes of the wheel can be seen.

[0018] FIG. 3 shows a detailed view of the mode of joining the braking system for bicycles or similar to the fork of the bicycle.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0019] The attached drawings show a preferred embodiment of the invention. More specifically, the braking system for bicycles or similar, object of the present specification, is characterised in that it comprises a circular body or disc (1) formed exclusively by the area of the brake track, such that the centre of the disc (1) is completely hollow. Furthermore, it has a plurality of holes (1b) designed for cooling the system.

[0020] Said disc (1) is joined to a brake caliper (2) that is screwed to a body (3) designed as an extension of the fork (4) of the bicycle and solidly connected to same on a single side of the mentioned fork (4).

[0021] The body (3) will house therein the cable required for the activation of the braking system.

[0022] Said disc (1) is inserted inside the radial plane of the wheel and is protected by the plane produced by the spokes (5) joining the rim to the shaft (6).

[0023] Finally, a surrounding body (7) joining the surface of the heads of the spokes (6) and the centre of the wheel (5) is positioned on said disc (1), whereby the rim securing mechanism is arranged on the face of the braking surface. The connection between the disc (1) and the surrounding body (7) is done as a result of the presence of small projections (1a) present on the disc which are housed in holes intended for that purpose arranged on the surrounding body (7).
