  • Publication number: 20230140277
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11565556
    Abstract: A tire valve assembly includes a stem and a valve unit. The valve unit includes a movable part and a seal member. When introducing pressurized air into the tire valve assembly, the valve unit moves to a position in the stem to allow the pressurized air to flow into the tire. When the pressurized air is stopped from entering the tire valve assembly, the valve unit is pushed back by the pressure in the tire to seal the inlet so that the pressurized air in the tire does not leak to keep the tire pressure.

  • Publication number: 20150090538
    Abstract: A brake pad assembly includes a backing plate, a brake lining and a brake wear indicator. The brake lining is disposed on a front side of the backing plate for engagement with a rotor to be braked. The brake wear indicator is formed of an elastic metallic strip with one end attached to the front side of the backing plate. Moreover, the brake wear indicator is disposed adjacent to the brake lining for engagement with the rotor to be braked once the brake lining is worn out to a predetermined safe thickness, and thereby causing an annoying noise to alert an motorist that the brake pad assembly needs to be replaced.

  • Patent number: 8875853
    Abstract: 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.
