Patent number: 11691692Abstract: A crank arm for a bicycle may include a body extending along a body axis and having a first body end and a second body end axially spaced apart from the first body end. The insert may also include an insert provided toward the first body end. The insert may include a base portion having a radially outer surface. At least one extension may extend outwardly from the radially outer surface and may be encased within a corresponding recess in the body whereby relative planar movement between the body and the at least one extension in a first plane. The retaining portion may have a retaining portion width measured in the first direction and the retaining width may be greater than the throat width thereby inhibiting relative radial movement between the at least one extension and the recess and preventing radial extraction of the extension from the corresponding recess.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2020Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Fox Factory, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Staples, Paul Sidlick

Publication number: 20100275724Abstract: A crank arm is provided, having a body made of a composite material, the body defining two apertures, each aperture defining a plurality of recesses. Each of the recesses extends outwardly a distance from a center of the corresponding aperture and widens as the distance increases. Inserts made of a material surrounding the inside edge of each aperture, and each insert has extensions fitting within a corresponding recess. When the crank arm is cooled, the material shrinks relative to the body, and the recesses maintain the insert in position during the cooling process.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2009Publication date: November 4, 2010Applicant: RACE FACE COMPONENTS INC.Inventors: Jonathan S.

Publication number: 20070270694Abstract: A housing unit for an ultrasound system which comprises an ultrasound transducer, a video display, an input device and a removable PC computer. The removable PC may be housed within an enclosure defined by the housing unit. The removable PC may house all of the processor(s) required for control and operation of the ultrasound system. The removable PC may be coupled to and uncoupled from the ultrasound transducer, the video display and the input device using conventional connectors. Such connectors permit users to interchange the removable PC with an updated PC without having to send the ultrasound system to the manufacturer and without requiring the services of a technician.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2007Publication date: November 22, 2007Inventors: Laurent PELISSIER, Sergio BERNARDO, Paul SIDLICK
