A Head Tube and a Combination of a Head Tube and a Stem for a Cycle
The invention relates to a head tube and a combination of a head tube and a stem for a cycle.
Cycles, such as bicycles and tricycles, can include multiple cables, including gear change cables, brake cables and electrical cables which may be for lights or gear changing. Such cables can be damaged, for example by being caught on passing objects, or by vandalism.
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a head tube for a cycle, the head tube defining a plurality of passageways, including a first passageway to mount a headset, and at least one second passageway to receive a cable such as a brake cable, gear change cable, or electrical cable or the like.
In this way, such cables can be concealed over part of their path so that they are protected from damage. It also keeps the cables out of the way of the user, and may improve the aerodynamic performance of the cycle.
The or at least one second passageway may commence at one end of the head tube. Cables from the handlebars can thus pass straight into the top of the head tube. The or at least one second passageway may terminate at the side of the head tube where the head tube will intersect with the down tube. In this way, a cable concealed in the head tube can continue to be concealed by passing inside the down tube.
The head tube may take any suitable form and may be in the form of a profile, which may be an extrusion. The head tube may be made from any suitable material, but in a preferred embodiment is made from metal, and preferably is made from aluminium alloy. The head tube may comprise first means defining a main bore forming the first passageway in which the bearings for the front fork steering tube are fitted, and means defining at least one slot concentric to the main bore and forming a second passageway to receive brake cables or gear change cables or electrical cables or the like.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a frame for a cycle, the frame including a head tube according to the first aspect of the invention.
According to further aspect of the invention there is provided a cycle including a head tube according to the first aspect of the invention.
It is known to restrict the steering angle of a bicycle or tricycle, in other words the angle through which the handlebars can be turned from limit to limit, by incorporating stops in the headset bearings. In the case of damage, however, for example by forcing the handlebars too far, such as might happen in a crash, the headset has to be taken apart in order to make a repair, if indeed repair is possible. It is desirable to limit the steering angle, because cables from the handlebars to the remainder of the cycle, such as brake cables, gear change cables, and lighting cables, can be wound up, kinked or overstretched if the handlebars are turned too far. Restricting the steering angle also means that front end components such as front carriers, can be prevented from rotating so far that they impact the frame of the cycle.
According to a fourth aspect of the invention there is provided a combination of a head tube and a stem and/or a fork crown for a cycle, the combination including a replaceable, breakable means to limit the angle of pivoting of the handlebars.
Because the replaceable means is designed to be breakable, the cycle is not damaged if the handlebars are forced too far, for example in a collision or crash, and in that case, the means can simply be replaced. The replaceable means may include a region of weakness at which it will break under stress. The region of weakness may be a region of reduced thickness and may be defined by a groove.
The replaceable means may take any suitable form and may comprise a part on one of the head tube and stem, the part being arranged to move between two stops on the other of the head tube and stem. The part may take any suitable form and may comprise a pin. The pin may include a region of weakness which may be a groove around the pin. In a preferred embodiment, the part depends from the stem and the stops are provided on the head tube. The stem may define a countersunk bore to receive a pin with a shank and an enlarged head. The stops on the head tube may take any suitable form. In one embodiment the stops are defined by the walls of a passageway defined through the head tube.
The head tube may be a head tube according to the first aspect of the invention.
The head tube may comprise means defining a central bore in which the bearings for the front fork steering tube are fitted and means defining a plurality of concentric slots, one concentric slot being arranged to receive brake cables or gear change cables or electrical cables or the like, and another said slot being arranged to receive the pin, the ends of the slot forming stops for the pin.
According to further aspect of the invention there is provided a cycle, the cycle including a head tube and stem according to the fourth aspect of the invention.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a detail, partially exploded perspective view of the head tube, stem and handlebars of a cycle in the embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2a is a top plan view of the front of the cycle of the embodiment with the handlebars turned all the way to the left, and Fig. 2b is the same view with the handlebars turned to the limit to the right;
Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the handlebars with frame of a cycle of the embodiment with the concealed cables and head tube exit aperture shown in phantom;
Fig 4 is the view of Fig. 3 with shrouding in place on the handlebars;
Fig. 5 is a detail side elevation in cross-section of the front of the embodiment; and,
Fig. 6 is a side elevation of a pin of the embodiment.
As shown in the drawings, the embodiment comprises a frame 10 of a bicycle or tricycle and handlebars 12 connected to the frame 10 through a stem 14. The frame 10 comprises a head tube 16 connected to a down tube 18.
The head tube 16 is a tubular profile, which may be made from aluminium alloy, and comprises an inner wall 20 defining a central bore 22, the head tube 16 further comprising an outer wall 24 which is connected to the inner wall 20 by three partitions
26. In alternative embodiments of the invention the outer wall 24may be connected to the inner wall by more than three partitions. The central bore 22 of the head tube 16 defines a first passageway to receive the headset 30 comprising bearings for the front fork steering tube 13. The partitions 26 divide the space between the inner wall 20 and outer wall 24 into three part circular slots 32 which lie in a concentric arrangement around the central bore 22.
The stem 14 defines a threaded countersunk bore 40 to receive a pin 42. The pin 42 is shown in detail in Fig 6. The bore 40 is offset to one side of the stem 14. The pin 42 has an enlarged head 44 and a slimmer shank 46. The shank 46 is divided in two by a circumferential groove 48 such that, when the pin 42 is received in the countersunk bore 40 of the stem 14, the lower part 50 of the shank of the pin 42 below the groove 48 protrudes from the underside of the stem 14. The upper part 52 of the shank 46 of the pin 42 is threaded and screws into the bore 40.
The partitions 26 are arranged so that there is a first partition 26f at the front of the head tube and two partitions 26r at the rear of the head tube such that the rear passageway 32r defined between the two rear partitions 26r is of substantially the same width as the width of the down tube 18, as seen in Figs. 2a and 2b.
There is an aperture 60 in the outer wall 24 which intersects the rear passageway 32r, and also the bore of the down tube 18.
In use, the pin 42 is placed into the countersunk bore 40 and the lower end 50 is received in the right-hand front passageway 32f. In this way, when the handlebars 12 are turned to the left, as shown in Fig. 2a, they will reach a point where they cannot be turned any further when the lower end 50 of the pin 42 hits the front partition 26f which thereby acts as a stop to prevent the handlebars 12 from being turned further. The permitted steering angle may be 65 degrees from the straight ahead position. As the handlebars 12 are turned from this limit position, through the forward position to the right, the pin 42 will eventually engage the right-hand rear partition 26r which thereby acts as a stop to limit further movement of the handlebars 12 to the right. In this way the steering angle is restricted.
If the handlebars 12 should be moved too far too hard, for example if the cycle is in a crash, then the lower end 50 of the pin 42 will snap-off at the weakened region represented by the groove 48. The only part of the bicycle which has been damaged, is thus the pin 42, and that can be lifted out and replaced.
The braking gear cables have been omitted from Figs. 1, 2a, and 2b for clarity. Fig. 3 shows the left-hand brake cable 62 and the right-hand gear cable 64 which are routed from the handlebars 12 down the rear slot 32r of the head tube 16. The cables 62, 64 enter the top 66 of the rear slot 32r and travel down the slot 32r to emerge through the aperture 60 into the interior of the down tube 18. As shown in Fig. 4, shrouding in the form of a cover 70 may be placed over the top of the stem 14 and handlebars 12 to conceal the cables 62, 64. In this way, the cables 62, 64 are entirely concealed at the front of the bicycle. As shown in Fig 5, lighting or brake cables 68 from the front fork 72 can be received in the lower open end 74 of the rear slot 32r of the head tube 16 and also pass through the slot 32r to exit through the aperture 60 into the interior of the down tube 18.
