  • the present invention refers to a quick release mechanism for bicycles that includes a locking mechanism.
  • Drawing No. 1 depicts a standard quick release mechanism (100) for a bicycle seat and Drawing No. 2 depicts a standard quick release mechanism (200) for a bicycle wheel. It is also customary to lock bicycle parts, such as seat and wheels, to prevent their theft while the bicycle itself is locked.
  • the main objective of the present invention is to provide a quick release mechanism for attaching and tightening bicycle seats or wheels that includes an effective, built-in, inner locking mechanism that prevents the quick release mechanism from being opened without an appropriate key.
  • U.S. Patent 5,479,836 (hereinafter Patent 836) describes a quick release mechanism for a bicycle.
  • the quick release mechanism of Patent 836 comprises, inter alia, a handle and a locking device.
  • the locking device of Patent 836 includes a lock housing and a rotatable core.
  • the rotatable core is located in the hollow interior of the lock housing.
  • This typical quick release mechanism includes a rod, to which the standard clamp is attached.
  • the locking device of Patent 836 is based on locking pins and, therefore, by nature, it includes two parts that rotate relative to one another.
  • the locking device of Patent 836 includes a lock housing, which is permanently affixed to the rod, and a rotatable core, which rotates relative to the lock housing.
  • the quick release mechanism further includes a handle.
  • the present invention provides a quick release mechanism wherein the handle itself serves as a part of the locking mechanism, thus making it easier and cheaper to manufacture.
  • Drawing No. 1 depicts a standard quick release mechanism (100) for a bicycle seat.
  • Drawing No. 2 depicts a standard quick release mechanism (200) for a bicycle wheel.
  • Drawing No. 3 depicts a quick release mechanism (1) that comprises a clamp (3), a rod (4), a rotating housing handle (5), a pad (6), a nut (71), and fixed locking core (2).
  • Drawing No. 4 depicts the fixed locking core (2) that has a hole-like depression (22) with an internal thread (23).
  • Drawing No. 5 depicts the rotating housing handle (5) and the punctures (54) in the side of its inner cavity (53).
  • Drawing No. 6 depicts the mechanism (1) that includes a pin (55) on the rotating housing handle (5) and a corresponding hole (33) in the clamp (3).
  • the main objective of the present invention is to provide a quick release mechanism (1) for a bicycle seat or wheel that has a built-in locking mechanism.
  • Another objective of the present invention is to provide a quick release mechanism (1) as mentioned, whereby the locking mechanism is simple and effective, is connected to the mechanism components, and is locked together with the mechanism components in a simple and effective manner.
  • the quick release mechanism (1) includes the following components: a clamp (3), a rod (4), a pad (6), a nut (71), and a locking mechanism wherein said locking mechanism comprises two parts: a fixed locking core (2) and a rotating housing handle (5).
  • the quick release mechanism (1) is depicted in Drawing No. 3 along with its components, which are familiar to any average professional in the field and will therefore be described only in a general manner.
  • the clamp (3) is omega-shaped (an almost closed circle) and has parallel, flanged ends (31) with holes (32) through them, as depicted in Drawing No. 3.
  • the rod (4) has an external thread (43) on both ends (41) (42).
  • the pad (6) is of standard design and it has a hole (61) through it and a depression (62).
  • the nut (71) is designed to limit the movement of the flanges (31).
  • the locking mechanism comprises said rotating housing handle (5) and said fixed locking core (2):
  • One of the innovative aspects of the mechanism (1) lies in the way the rotating housing handle (5) and fixed locking core (2) are designed and integrated.
  • the rotating housing handle (5) has a ring-shaped base (51) with two parallel rings (52) and a cavity (53) between them.
  • the inner side of the ring-shaped base (51) has several punctures (54) in it.
  • the locking mechanism (3) comprises a fixed locking core (2) with a hole-like depression (22) in its side, which has an inner thread (23) AND said rotating handle (5).
  • FIG. 4 depicts the fixed locking core (2) with the hole-like depression (22) and inner thread (23).
  • Drawing No. 5 depicts the rotating housing handle (5) and the punctures (54) in the inner side of the ring-shaped base (51).
  • the flange (31) facing the nut (71) may have a depression (311) the same shape as the nut (71), so that when the mechanism is locked, the nut (71) is sunken in the depression (311) in a way that prevents access to it and prevents using a wrench to open it.
  • the mechanism may also be equipped with a second nut (72) that enables the user to mount additional accessories on the mechanism, such as a bicycle rack.
  • the relevant flanges of the accessory are be attached as follows: one flange is attached between the pad (6) and the clamp (3) and the second flange is attached between the second nut (72) and the nut (71)
  • the mechanism (1), subject of the present invention is assembled in the same general way that standard mechanisms, as depicted in Drawings Nos. 1 and 2, are assembled.
  • the locking mechanism (2+5) comprises in fact one single unit that is the fixed locking core (2), and the rotating housing handle (5) combined.
  • the fixed locking core (2) can be inserted simply and easily into the inner cavity (53) of the rotating housing handle (5).
  • the rotating housing handle (5) is constructed and, in fact, functions both as a rotating housing for the locking mechanism and as a handle, (c)
  • the locking pins (24) are inserted into the punctures (54) in the rotating housing handle (5) and effectively lock the rotating housing handle (5) using the fixed locking core (2), while the key may be used to unlock the lock.
  • the rod (4) may, of course, be attached to the fixed locking core (2) using any other kind of joining means, including welding, etc.
  • Another version of the mechanism (1) includes a pin (55) at the free end (56) of the rotating housing handle (5) a corresponding hole (33) in the clamp (3) so that when the mechanism (1) is affixed to the relevant accessory, the pin (55) is inserted into the hole (33), preventing the free end (56) of the rotating housing handle (5) from being inserted into a hollow rod and used as a lever to lift the rotating housing handle (5) and break the lock.
  • Drawing No. 6 depicts the mechanism (1) with a pin (55) on the rotating housing handle (5) and a hole (33) in the clamp (3).
  • the mechanism (1) can in fact comprise the rotating housing handle (5), which contains the fixed locking core (2), to which the rod (4) is attached.
  • the user may already have a clamp, a pad and nuts as part of his or her bicycle components.
  • the length of the rod (4) will vary according to the bicycle part it is used to lock, i.e. the bicycle seat, a bicycle wheel, or other bicycle parts.

Ladite poignée de boîtier rotatif présente une base de forme annulaire ayant deux bagues séparées par une cavité interne. Le côté interne de ladite base de forme annulaire présente plusieurs perforations dans celui-ci. Ladite poignée de boîtier rotatif présente des broches de verrouillage conçues pour être insérées dans lesdites perforations dans ledit côté interne de ladite base de forme annulaire de la poignée de boîtier rotatif. Lesdites broches de verrouillage sont conçues pour être insérées dans ledit noyau de verrouillage fixe. Ladite poignée de boîtier rotatif sert tout à la fois de boîtier rotatif dudit mécanisme de verrouillage et de poignée dudit mécanisme de raccord rapide.
