Publication number: 20230140277Abstract: A bicycle braking device includes a caliper, two operation units and two links. Each operation unit is installed to the two respectively threaded holes of the caliper and includes an operation assembly and a ring. Two links are respectively connected to the two operation assemblies. Each operation assembly includes multiple curve slots, and multiple balls are partially rotatably accommodated in each curve slot. Each ring is movably mounted to the core part of each operation assembly and includes multiple spiral grooves. The balls are accommodated in the spiral grooves and the curve slots. When the two links are pivoted by pulling the brake cable, the two core parts are rotated, and the two rings rotatably move to push the linings to clamp the brake disk. The balls ensure the rings to move smoothly so as to precisely clamp the brake disk.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventor: Wayne-Ian MOORE

Patent number: 8875853Abstract: A hydraulic brake device includes a main body, a brake lever, a hydraulic rod, a connecting rod, a sleeve member and an elastic member. The elastic member has an assembling portion, a driving portion and a deformation portion. When a user actuates the brake lever suddenly and forcefully, the driving portion of the elastic member moves toward the hydraulic room; a pressure of hydraulic oil pushes the driving portion so as to indirectly force the deformation portion to deform and bend, so that the deformation portion and the driving portion slightly move toward the assembling portion; thereby, a volume of hydraulic oil is smoothly pushed into a brake caliper through a hydraulic pipeline, such that the user brakes a bicycle stably, smoothly and safely.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2013Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Ashima Ltd.Inventor: Wayne-Ian Moore
