Description

WHEEL AXLE FOR CYCLES AND MOTORCYCLES PROVIDED WITH ANTI-REMOVAL DEVICE
The present invention relates to an anti-removal wheel pin, in particular for cycles or motorcycles or similar vehicles.
Pins of the aforementioned type are known and largely used in spite of some inconveniences. A typical example of anti-removal pins according to the known art consists in a pin that is inserted in the wheel hub and in the housings obtained in the two legs of the fork, and is provided at the two free ends with an engagement section for a key on one side, and on the other side with a thread designed to engage with a corresponding fixing nut mounted with a anti-removal washer, such as a foldable washer or a nut with Teflon ring, etc.
A first inconvenience consists in the fact that the anti-removal washer with Teflon ring is extremely difficult to mount, because the anti-removal ring resists the nut loosening, and also the nut tightening during mounting. On the other hand, the foldable washer typically consists in a circular washer with anti-loosening section, designed to be folded in perpendicular direction to the washer to touch against one of the sides of the fixing nut, thus blocking rotation in both directions. An inconvenience of this system is related to the fact that the washer must be replaced periodically, because the folding action of the section tends to weaken the washer material, with possible breakage of the anti-loosening section. Another inconvenience is represented by the fact that accidental impacts of the washer may fold the anti-loosening section in the position that corresponds to the free rotation of the fixing nut, which becomes free to move. Such an impact is highly probable, for example, when the cycle or motorcycle is driven off-road, such as in the case of mountain bikes or similar vehicles, when the stress and shocks caused by the off-road drive contribute to loosen the fixing nut.
A common inconvenience of all known systems is that the pin and the components that are necessary to fix the pin in position are separate parts; therefore, special attention must be paid when, for example, tyres are changed in order not to lose the various parts.
A further inconvenience of all systems is given by the fact that mounting requires the correct and exact positioning of the various parts, thus requiring long time for mounting the different parts.
The present invention is designed to overcome the aforementioned inconveniences.
The present invention relates to an anti-removal wheel pin, in particular for cycles or motorcycles or similar vehicles, which is designed to be inserted in a wheel hub and two housings obtained on the two legs of the fork. The free end of the pin that is inserted in the wheel hub and the housings comprises an engagement element designed to cooperate with the corresponding housing, which can be brought into engaged/disengaged position with respect to the housing. According to a preferred executive embodiment of the present invention, the pin is at least partially hollow at the end that is inserted in the wheel hub and the housings, with an engagement element being partially housed in the cavity. The engagement element protrudes from the cavity with a catch that cooperates with the housing faced by it when the pin is mounted, in order to hold the pin in position.
The engagement element can be advantageously moved to engaged/disengaged position in such a way that, during mounting, the engagement element is moved to the disengaged position, the pin slides freely inside the wheel hub and the housings and is fitted in position, and then the engagement element is moved to the engaged position and engages with the corresponding housing to prevent the removal of the pin from the housing.
Moreover, the end of the pin with the engagement element is advantageously provided with threading designed to be tightened into a corresponding threading on the housing, in such a way that, during mounting, the engagement element is moved to the disengagement position, the pin is inserted in the first housing, in the wheel hub and in the second housing, where it is tightened, and the engagement element is pulled out from the cavity, thus fixing the wheel pin in position to prevent its removal. The foregoing allows for advantageously overcoming the drawbacks of the known art; because of the fact that the pin of the present invention does not have separate parts, mounting operations are simple and quick, without possibility to make mistakes or lose parts, being the engagement element fitted to the pin.
According to an especially advantageous executive embodiment, the engagement element is provided with a spring element, such a spring, a clip, etc., which is tied both to the pin and the engagement element and designed to push the fixing element in engaged position.
Another advantageous characteristic of the foregoing executive embodiment is that the engagement element is shaped as a catch or similar element, thus allowing for easy insertion of the pin with a sort of automatic return of the engagement element to disengagement position.
The foregoing executive embodiment allows for simple quick mounting, since the user simply needs to force, for example with his hand, the engagement element into the disengagement position when inserting the engagement element in the housing obtained on the fork. Further characteristics are the subject of the enclosed claims and subclaims. The characteristics of the present invention will be understood better with reference to the enclosed drawings, whereby: fig. 1 is a view of a pin provided with an engagement element according to the present invention, and of the parts that cooperate with the said pin in dismounted condition; fig. 2 is a view of a pin provided with an engagement element according to the present invention, and of the parts that cooperate with the pin in mounted condition; fig. 3 is an exploded view of an engagement element according to the present invention; fig. 4 is a view of an engagement element according to the present invention. Fig. 1 illustrates an anti-removal wheel pin (1 ), in particular for cycles or motorcycles or similar vehicles according to the present invention. The pin (1 ) is designed to be inserted in mounting position in a wheel hub (7) and two housings (8A, 9A) provided in the two legs (8, 9) of the fork, as shown in fig. 1. The pin (1 ) is basically cylindrical and has two free ends, of which one is designed to slide in mounted position inside a first housing (9A) of the first leg (9) of the fork, then inside the wheel hub (7) and at least partially slide, or be tightened to according to a preferred embodiment, in the second housing (8A) obtained on the second leg (8) of the fork. The free end of the pin (1 ) designed to be inserted in the wheel hub (7) and in the housings (8A, 9A) is provided with an engagement element (3) designed to cooperate with the corresponding housing (8A) when the pin is mounted. The engagement element (3) is designed to be brought to engagement/disengagement position with respect to the housing (8A), in order to be inserted in mounted position with the engagement element in disengagement position and be fixed in mounted position with the engagement element (3) in engagement position, as shown in fig. 2. The end of the pin (1 ) with the engagement element (3) is provided with threading (1 c) designed to be tightened with a corresponding threading provided on the housing (8a).
Basically, fig. 1 illustrates the system and the pin and the parts that cooperate with the pin in dismounted position, while fig. 2 illustrates the same parts with the pin in mounted position, with the engagement element (3) engaged with the housing (8A) of the fork. Figures 3 and 4 illustrate ad advantageous preferred executive embodiment of the pin (1 ) of the present invention.
Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate an exploded view of the pin (1 ) in mounted position; as shown in fig. 3, the engagement element (3) of fig. 1 is composed of a catch (3A) mounted with possibility to oscillate on an axle (3C) that is fitted or can be fitted in two holes (1 A) provided on the body of the pin (1 ).
The axle (3C) is internal to the pin (1 ) and the catch (3A) is partially housed inside the pin (1 ), which is provided with a cavity (1 B). The oscillation of the catch (3A) around the axle (3C) displaces the catch (3A) into engagement or disengagement position: the disengagement position is obtained when the catch (3A) rotates towards the longitudinal direction of the pin (1 ), while the engagement position is obtained when the catch (3A) rotates towards the wall of the cavity (1 B) until it touches the said wall.
The engagement and disengagement positions refer to the mounted condition illustrated in fig. 2 where, if the catch (3A) is in engagement position, it prevents the pin from sliding in removal direction, while the pin can be removed if the catch (3A) is in disengagement position. The engagement position defined as engagement position with the housing (8A) is to be interpreted as an engagement condition against the removal of the catch (3A) with the housing and/or the edge of the housing and/or the leg (8) of the fork. According to the advantageous executive embodiment illustrated in figs. 3 and 4, the catch (3A) is provided with a spring or clip, etc. illustrated as a spring (3B), that is actuated on the catch (3A) and on the internal wall of the cavity (1 B), pushing the catch (3A) into the engagement position; in this way, the spring pushes the catch against the wall of the cavity, thus advantageously maintaining the catch in engagement position and requiring a certain force to move the catch to the disengagement position, which is not a stable position, meaning that, due to the spring, it can only be maintained by applying on the catch a higher force with opposite direction to the spring. Moreover, the end of the pin (1 ) and the housing (8A) are advantageously threaded in order to insert the pin (1 ) and tighten it in mounted position on the leg (8).
The tightening of the pin in position can be advantageously favoured by providing the end of the pin in opposite position to the threaded end with a crank (5) that simplifies the operation and allows for manual mounting and dismounting of the pin. Moreover, the catch is advantageously given a wedge-like shape with two concurrent surfaces (3D, 3E), in which the surface (3E) that faces the body of the pin (1 ) is basically perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pin, with the catch (3A) in engagement position.
The surface (3D) inclined with respect to surface (3E) advantageously favours the mounting of the pin (1 ).
In fact, in mounted position, the user simply needs to push the catch (3A) into the disengagement position and insert the pin (1 ) in the housings (8A, 9A) and the hub (7).
When the pin (1 ) has reached the mounting position, as illustrated in fig. 2, the catch (3A) snaps out due to the action of the spring (3B), thus locking the pin (1 ) against removal, The toothed section of the surface (3D) favours the engagement and actuation of the engagement element (3).
The pin of the present invention is characterised by the additional advantage that it not only prevents the undesired removal of the pin from the housings, but also the loosening of the pin: the loosening of the pin from the threaded housing (8A) determines the backward movement of the pin along the threading of the screw, but the backward movement of the pin is locked by the action of the catch (3A) that does not allow for such a movement.
Therefore, the combination of a threaded pin and an engagement element according to the present invention provided on the pin obtains a synergy of advantages.
The present invention also relates to a cycle or motorcycle or bicycle or mountain bike or similar vehicle, characterised in that it comprises a pin according to the present invention.
