  • Patent number: 11041547
    Abstract: A shifting manipulation-assisting device and a hub-embedded transmission, wherein in controlling pawls that restrain rotation of sun gears to perform shifting in a planetary gear set, shifting control is properly performed even with a small manipulation force. The shifting manipulation-assisting device includes a pawl control ring having an inner peripheral surface to control laying-down of control pawls, and an outer peripheral surface formed with rotation restricting protrusions; an angle control member positioned on an inner periphery side of a driver; pressing members supported on the angle control member, and positioned between the unidirectionally inclined recesses and an inner peripheral surface of the driver; an elastic connecting body connected to resiliently support the pawl control ring; a fixed support member non-rotatably fixed to the shaft and rotatably supporting the driver; and a return spring connected to reversely rotate and accordingly return the angle control member.

  • Patent number: 6478711
    Abstract: An apparatus for changing the speed of bicycles, more particularly, an apparatus that changes the speed of bicycles using inner gears within a rear wheel hub and controls the inner gears by means of controllers mounted on a hub shaft. The apparatus includes: a driven sprocket receiving the driving force of a driving sprocket; a speed controlling portion, which includes a carrier that is fixed to one side of the driven sprocket, containing a plurality of planetary gears with ratchet-teeth formed along their inner circumferences; at least two sun gears for engaging each step of the planetary gears at their ratchet-teeth; a ring gear engaging the other side of the planetary gears; an output portion, including a hub shell transferring the driving force to the rear wheel by means of the carrier and the ring gear; a clutch means mounted between the carrier and the hub shell, and the ring gear and the hub shell, which selectively mediates the driving force; and a speed-change controlling portion.
