Description

bicycle pedal

The present invention relates to a bicycle pedal, in particular to a bicycle pedal that can be formed into a two-color appearance.

The traditional bicycle pedal structure basically includes: a pedal member and an axis. The rotation axis of the pedal member is provided with an axis hole that penetrates the pedal member. The axis center is rotatably assembled in the axis hole of the pedal member. The bicycle pedal is rotated by the axis center. The screw thread at the front end is connected to the crank of the big plate. The basic function of the bicycle pedal is for the bicycle rider to step on and apply force to obtain the power needed to drive the bicycle forward.

The pedal parts of traditional bicycle pedals are mostly made of a single material and a single component design. Most of them are made of plastic or metal (such as aluminum alloy). For example: the invention patent of the Republic of China "Easy to disassemble bicycle pedal" has been approved (certificate number: TW I580607 B), and the new type of bicycle pedal of the Republic of China has been approved (certificate number: TW M535198U) They are all typical bicycle pedals using a single pedal piece.

Compared with all-metal pedals, the advantages of all-plastic pedals are light weight, multiple colors, easy to make various configurations, and low manufacturing cost. Disadvantages It is not strong enough and is easily broken or damaged. When exposed to water, the friction between the pedal parts and the sole will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, the advantages of all-metal pedal parts are good strength, impact resistance, not easy to break and deform, and can still maintain the grip of the sole on the pedal when exposed to water.
