Abstract: A bicycle hub includes a housing, in which a first ratchet device, a second ratchet device, and an elastic device are received. The first ratchet device is rotated freely in the housing, and the second ratchet device is fixed to the housing. The first ratchet device has a first ratchet portion, the second ratchet device has a second ratchet portion, and the elastic device urges the first ratchet portion to engage the second ratchet portion of the second ratchet device when the first ratchet device is rotated in a direction. A driving device is connected to the first ratchet device to rotate at an end of the housing while the first and the second ratchet portions are located at an opposite end of the housing.
Abstract: A guiding belt pulley, which is configured to engage a belt with belt teeth, includes a ring configuration having a root circle at an edge thereof and a plurality of pulley teeth projected from the root circle of the ring configuration, wherein each of the pulley teeth slants related to a radial line of the ring configuration. A shift gap and a move gap are left between each pair of the pulley teeth and the belt teeth to provide spaces for the deformed belt. It may reduce a risk of disengagement of the belt and provide a safe way of power transmission.
Abstract: A bicycle crankset, which is adapted to connect to a chain, includes a chainring, a spider, and a crankarm. The chainring has teeth on an edge thereof to engage the chain and a chainring axis through a center thereof. The spider has spider arms to detachably connect to the chainring and a connecting bore. The spider has a core axis through a center of the connecting bore, and the core axis is kept a predetermined distance away from the chainring axis to form a deviation. The crankarm has an engaging member to engage the connecting bore of the spider. Tips of the teeth of the chainring move in a noncircular path when the crankarm is exerted to drive the chainring to turned, and the noncircular path is adjustable by shifting a location of the connecting bore which change the deviation.
Abstract: A bicycle crankset, which is adapted to connect to a chain, includes a chainring and a crankarm. The chainring has a plurality of teeth, a plurality of connecting bores of first noncircular motion path, and a plurality of connecting bores of circular motion path. The crankarm has a plurality of connecting arms to be selected to secured to the connecting bores of first noncircular motion path or the connecting bores of circular motion path. The chainring provides a first noncircular path of motion when the connecting arms of the crankarm are secured to the connecting bores of first noncircular motion path, and chainring provides a circular path of motion when the connecting arms of the crankarm are secured to the connecting bores of circular motion path.
