  • Patent number: 6805645
    Abstract: A tooth contour structure for large sprocket set of bicycle having at least three characteristic teeth arranged on a larger sprocket of two adjacent sprockets, wherein the right side of a first characteristic tooth has a curve surface and a cut portion. Between the first characteristic tooth and a second characteristic tooth a tooth valley bottom edge has a projection surface biased toward the smaller sprocket. The arc of a top edge of the projecting surface is formed according to the path and curvature of the upper chain. The top edge has a slant angle. A recession is formed below the first characteristic tooth.
