  • 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.

  • Patent number: 8181980
    Abstract: An uncomplicated bicycle device for fastening a steering tube with a stem tube includes two compression rings and a fastening set. The compression ring is fixed on a stem opening by inserting the lateral surface portion into the stem tube and the protruding portion abutted against the stem opening. The steering tube is inserted into the compression rings. A fastening set includes a star nut placed into the steering tube, a cap covering the stem opening and abutted against the compression ring, a cap bolt for screwing the cap and the star nut together. The present invention only uses the compression rings and the fastening set instead of any thread structure and lock nuts for fastening the steering tube within the stem tube. Thus, the adjuster can quickly calibrate and assemble the steering tube within the stem tube again.
