Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve workability to lock a cleat to a clock body by a method wherein the working point of a cleat mounted to the bottom of a shoe on a lock body rockably supported to a pedal body and engaged and disengaged with and from the cleat is specified, and the lock part of the lock body forms a slope. CONSTITUTION:A pedal body 2 rotatably supported on a pedal shaft 1 is provided with two pivotal shafts 7 on which lock bodies 4 and 5 to engage and disengage a cleat 3 mounted to the bottom part of shoe are rockably supported. The look bodies 4 and 5 are energized in an engaging direction by means of an energizing means 6. In this case, a working point B1 of the cleat 3 on the lock bodies 4 and 5 during movement of the cleat 3 in a direction in which the cleat 3 approaches a pedal body 2 and a working point B2 during movement of the cleat 3 in a reverse direction are set to spots located closer to the look bodies 4 and 5 sides than a surface extending through a pivotal point A and paralleling the movement direction of the cleat. A part 3a to be locked of the cleat 3 is inclined downward toward the lock bodies 4 and 5 sides.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The bicycle pedal and cleat connection structure according to the present invention includes a locking body pivotably supported on the pedal body for locking and releasing the cleat. and a biasing means for biasing the locking body in the locking direction, the biasing force of the biasing unit is applied to the locking body, and the cleat is pedaled for the locking. The connecting part structure between a bicycle pedal and a cleat is such that the locking body is once swung in the releasing direction against the urging force of the urging means when the locking body is moved toward the main body side. When the cleat moves for locking and moves in the opposite direction, the point of action of the cleat on the locking body is set to include a pivot point of the locking body and parallel to the direction of movement of the cleat. The locking part of the locking body or the above IJ
It is characterized in that at least one of the locked parts of the locking body is formed into an inclined surface that becomes lower toward the locking body.

Moreover, when the point of action is under the above-mentioned conditions, the difficulty of releasing the cleat in an unexpected situation, which has been a problem in the past, can be reduced to at least one of the locking part of the locking body or the locked part of the cleat. This problem can be solved by forming the locking body with a lowered slope. That is, the cleat and the locking body slide along the inclined surface in a state in which the cleat is to be moved away from the time of the locking in a direction opposite to the movement for the locking. The cleats can be released in unforeseen situations.
