US Patent:

52658970, Nov 30, 1993

Filed:

May 15, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/883861

Inventors:

Charles W. Stephens - San Marino CA

International Classification:

B62H 300

US Classification:

280293

Abstract:

A skewer assembly for holding the front fork of a bicycle. The fork has a pair of clevises each with a pair of arms. A skewer housing body has a pair of end faces extending around opposite ends of a passage which extends between them. A skewer rod adjustment and clamp act to hold the clevises against the end faces. The diameter of the skewer rod is substantially equal to the spacing between the clevis arm so the rod can fit closely over the rod.

Filed:

Jul 15, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/755061

Inventors:

Charles W. Stephens - San Marino CA

International Classification:

B62L 500
F16D 4124

US Classification:

192 6R

Abstract:

A cycle hub is shown which can be converted between coaster brake and freewheeling operation without removal from the cycle. A unidirectional clutch is interposed between a hub sprocket and a coaster brake drive, coupling them for forward driving. It can selectively be disabled to prevent freewheeling or be enabled to permit it. When the clutch is disabled, the coaster brake hub operates conventionally.

International Classification:

B62L 112

US Classification:

188 2412

Abstract:

A ball bearing brake has a spindle with a central axis. Each member of a pair of caliper members has a lever and a brake pad arm. The members are fitted on the spindle for rotation around the axis, and for limited axial movement during assembly and adjustment. Each brake pad arm carries a brake pad to be pressed against a bicycle wheel. An end member mountable to the bicycle structure includes means to engage the spindle and to compress a stack between itself and a head on the spindle. Four sets of bearing balls are formed around the spindle, respectively confined (1) by a race adjustment to the head of the spindle and one of the lever arms (2) by a race on the first lever arm and on an intermediate race member (3) by another race on the intermediate race member and on the other lever arm, and (4) between a race on the said other lever arm and a race adjacent to the end member.
