Definitions

  • ABSTRACT The invention relates to a device for guiding cables on cycles which is simple to fit and robust, the device consisting of a collar provided with guides for the passage of cables, the collar having two obliquely oppo- 7 site flanks, and the cable guides being formed by folding over the tongues provided on the collar.
  • Devices for guiding cables for changing the speed with a gear shift are already known. These devices consist of a collar provided with an eyelet which is tightened around one of the cylindrical tubes of the frame with the aid of a screw.
  • sheaths which are placed between two fixed stops constituted by collars and which enable the cable to be guided when it is desired to change its direction.
  • the object of the present invention is in particular to overcome these disadvantages and relates to this end to a device for guiding cables on cycles, characterized in that it consists of a collar provided with guides for the passage of cables, the collar having two obliquely opposite flanks, and the cable guides being formd by folding over the tongues provided on the collar.
  • the collar has two opposite support edges virtually equidistant from the oblique flanks.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective schematic view of the device
  • H0. 2 is a lateral view of the device, fitted to the base of a frame of a cycle,
  • HO. 3 is a front view of the HO. 2
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view of the device.
  • the invention therefore relates to the construction of a device consisting of a guide collar which can be fitted rapidly andthe position of which is rigorously defined with respect to the frame of the cycle.
  • this device whose position is unalterable, enables the traction cables to be fitted rapidly, the control of the gear shifts unalterable.
  • such a device has been illustrated, which has the form of a metallic collar, of generally oblong form, having opposed portions of which the two bent ends 1 and 2 have facing flanks angularly or obliquely disposed with respect to each other.
  • the collar is split at the distal end of one of said oppositely facing flanks.
  • the collar comprises tongues 3, 4 and 5 which are bent towards the exterior and which delimit the grooves 3,, 4, and 5, of which the bottom is convex so with the aid of these cables being as to enable the'direction of the cable to be changed without forming any sharp angle.
  • the groove 5 with a convex bottom allows the passage of the traction cable connecting the gear shift of the back wheel to the control handle, while the grooves 3 and 4 allow the passage of the traction cable connecting a control handle to the device for changing the chain wheel of the crank-gear.
  • This device on account of its construction, can be fitted in a way (see FIG. 2) such that the oblique part 1 of the collar fits around a tube 6 of the frame, while the bent part 2 fits around the tube 7 of the same frame.
  • this collar has two support edges 8 and 9, which are opposite one another and face away from the grooves 3,, 4,, and 5,. They are virtually equidistant from the oblique flanks l and 2, so as to bear on the upper edge of the crank-gear case 10.
  • the groove 5, formed by folding the tongue 5 enables a cable to be fitted first of all parallel to the tube 6, then virtually parallel to the branch 11 of the rear fork, toward the gear shift.
  • the grooves 3, and 4, of the tongues 3 and 4 allow a cable to be fitted first of all parallel to the tube 6, and then passing over the tube 7, to arrive at the mechanism for changing the chain wheel of the crank-gear.
  • Tightening the device in the position illustrated on H6. 2 is effected with the aid of a screw and a nut placed across orifices provided in the ends 12 and 13 of the collar 1, these ends 12 and 13 being situated in the curved area 1 of the collar.
  • the positioning of the device is therefore automatic, since, by tightening the ends 12 and 13 with the aid of a screw, the collar tends to slide on the tubes 6 and 7 so that the edges 8 and 9 come to bear firmly on the upper edge of the crank-gear case 10.
  • the device can therefore be fitted simply, precisely, and in a manner so that it does not go out of order and enables the cables to be fitted rapidly by introducing them into one of the grooves 3,, 4, or 5,, the cable being then able to slide freely in the grooves without it going out of order.
  • a device for guiding cables on cycles comprising a collar, said collar including opposed portions which include facing flanks, said flanks being angularly disposed with respect to each other to engage the portions of the cycle having corresponding angular disposition, and means on said opposed portions being folded over to define grooves by which cables can be guided.
  • said collar comprises two edges which are opposite to each other, said edges being disposed intennediate said facing flanks and facing away from said grooves for supporting said collar on the upper edge of the cycle crankgear case.
  • a device according to claim 1 wherein said collar is split at the distal end of one of said oppositely facing flanks, orifices formed in said flank on each side of said split in which a tightening screw can be disposed for tightening said collar.
  • a device according to claim 1 wherein the bottoms of said grooves are convex to enable the direction of cables guided therein to be changed without forming a sharp angle.
  • a device wherein said collar is split at the distal end of one of said oppositely facing flanks, orifices formed in said flank on each side of said split in which a tightening screw'can be disposed for tightening said collar.
  • a device wherein the bottoms of said grooves are convex to enable the direction of cables guided therein to be changed without forming a sharp angle.
  • a device according to claim 5 wherein the bottoms of said grooves are convex to enable the direction of cables guided therein to be changed without forming a sharp angle.
