  • Patent number: 7812713
    Abstract: Device for measuring speed of a cycle having a frame, at least one wheel, a fastening axle about which the wheel is adapted to rotate, and a nut adapted to be threaded upon a threaded portion of the axle. The device includes a mechanism for detecting the rotation of the wheel, the device including a fixed sensor mounted on a portion of the cycle frame, adapted to detect the passing of an associated movable sensor element fixed for movement to the wheel, as well as a signal processor for processing the signal generated by the fixed sensor. At least one of, or both, the fixed sensor and the signal processor are housed in a casing fixed to the nut of the fastening axle for the wheel. The casing is fixed to an arm extending radially from the nut.

  • Patent number: 6779401
    Abstract: A device for measuring the running parameters of a bicycle having a sensor capable of reacting to a revolution of a rotationally movable member through a change of state and operating according to a cycle of changes of state, the sensor being provided to be mounted on a rotatable member of the bicycle, a transmission circuit having an antenna, a reception circuit having an antenna. The transmitting circuit has a circuit for calculating a value of the running parameter based on the signal originating from the sensor, a transmitter connected to the antenna to transmit this value to the receiving device, and an optimization circuit for activating the transmission of the transmitter to moments independent of the changes of state of the sensor.

  • Patent number: 6023646
    Abstract: A display device provided to be associated, on the one hand, with an electric gearshift, and, on the other hand, with at least one sensor of at least one performance parameter of the bicycle or the cyclist. The gearshift is provided to emit a confirmation signal that a requested displacement did occur. This signal is sent to a processing circuit which elaborates information relative to the sprocket called, then sends this information to a display manager. During a period predetermined by a time delay, the display manager blackouts one of the current displays from the display unit and sends the information relative to the sprocket called to the display.
