Definitions

  • This invention relates to a vehicle wheel and, more particularly, to a multi-spoke bicycle wheel for use on both front and rear wheel positions of a standard bicycle frame.
  • a bicycle wheel for use in both front and rear wheel positions of a bicycle wherein the rear wheel has a gear attached thereto, said wheel comprising: a rim, a one piece hub concentric with the rim and a plurality of spokes connected between the hub and the rim, said hub having a longitudinal axis, said rim, said spokes and said hub being symmetrical about a plane perpendicular to said longitudinal axis and dividing said rim, said hub and spokes into symmetrical halves except that an external portion of said hub at one end is threaded to accept said gear.
  • Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of a bicycle wheel of this invention.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1 showing the wheel of Fig. 1 adapted for front and rear use, respectively..
  • the wheel 10 chosen for purposes of illustration includes a circular member 12 capped with rim 14, a hub 16 and three radial spokes 18, 20 and 22 connecting the hub 16 to the circular member 12.
  • Each of the spokes has a leading and trailing edge designated by the individual spoke element number followed by a or b, respectively.
  • spoke 18 has a leading edge 18a ⁇ and a trailing edge 18b.
  • Each spoke is defined by an aerodynamic profile.
  • the spokes are joined to the circular member 12 by radiused sections 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40, each having a radius that is about equal to one-half the width w of a spoke.
  • spokes are joined to the hub 16 by radiused sections 24, 26 and 28, each having a radius that is about equal to the width w of the spokes.
  • the wheel is defined by a foam core 42 attached to the hub 16 and the rim 14 coated with resin layer 44 that is reinforced with fibers 43.
  • the axle assembly is seen to include an axle 50, a pair of lock nuts 52 threaded to axle 50, a pair of spacers 54 slideable on axle 50, a pair of bearing retainers 56 threaded on axle 50 to retain bearings 58 in hub 16. Dustcaps 62 are placed between the bearing retainers 56 and the bearings 58 to shield the bearings.
  • the external portion 16e ⁇ at one end of hub 16 is threaded to accept a gear or freewheel.
  • the wheel is identical to that in Fig. 2 and is symmetrical about plane 11 which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axes 16b of the hub 16. The wheel shown in Fig.
  • 3 is equipped for a rear wheel position on a bicycle and includes somewhat longer larger diameter axle 50', longer larger diameter spacers 54', longer bearing retainers 56' and a freewheel 60 threaded to hub 16.
  • the bearings are the same for the front and rear wheel position.

Abstract

Roue (10) formée d'une jante (14) assemblée sur un moyeu (16) au moyen d'une structure de mousse à plusieurs rayons qui est recouverte d'un matériau en résine à fibres de renforcement. Ladite roue se caractérise par les relations particulières existant entre les rayons (18, 20, 22) et les sections arrondies (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40) reliant les rayons (18, 20, 22) au moyeu (16) et à la jante (14), et elle est interchangeable entre l'avant et l'arrière d'une bicyclette.
