Patent number: 11867255Abstract: A roller-type chain for a bicycle is configured with asymmetrical chain link plates, the chain link plates applicable for use with a chain with reduced chain width as in use on chain drives with a high number of gear ratios. The chain link plates are configured at the inner side of the chain loop for engagement on the teeth of the rear sprocket and of the front chain wheel. The chain link plates are further configured at the outer side of the chain loop for interaction with the chain-guiding roller on the rear gearshift mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: SRAM DEUTSCHLAND GmbHInventors: Bruno Ribeiro, Pedro Santos, Diogo Silva, Matthias Reinbold, Henrik Braedt, John Collen

Patent number: 11814137Abstract: A plurality of sprockets which are coaxial with respect to a sprocket rotation axis, are arranged with axial spacing from each other and have different numbers of teeth which are constructed for positive-locking engagement with a bicycle chain. The pinion arrangement has a gear range quotient which is formed by division of the number of teeth of the sprocket having the largest diameter by the number of teeth of the sprocket having the smallest diameter, and has a packing density quotient which is formed by division of the number of sprockets in the sprocket arrangement by the axial spacing measured in millimeters of the axially outermost pinions from each other. The pinion arrangement may have a gear range packing coefficient, formed from the product of the gear range quotient and the packing density quotient, which is greater than 1.25.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2018Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: SRAM DEUTSCHLAND GmbHInventors: Henrik Braedt, Matthias Reinbold

Patent number: 10328995Abstract: A multi-sprocket arrangement for installation on a rear wheel axle of a bicycle includes a sprocket assembly. The sprocket assembly has at least a first sprocket and a second, self-supporting sprocket. The second sprocket is connected to a holding body via the first sprocket by way of a separate, cylindrical fastener which extends parallel to the rear wheel axle. The fastener has a first and a second end which are connected in frictionally fit fashion to drilled holes in the first and second sprockets. The frictionally fit connection between the fastener and the drilled holes of the sprockets prevents an axial movement of the first and second sprockets toward one another. The fastener is additionally connected, at the first and second ends, in form-fitting fashion, to the first and second sprockets such that an axial movement of the first and second sprockets away from one another is also reliably prevented.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: SRAM DEUTSCHLAND GMBHInventors: Matthias Reinbold, Cole St. John
