  • Patent number: 11643167
    Abstract: A multi-sprocket arrangement for a bicycle includes a larger sprocket having a passage recess on an outer link plate passage tooth on an outboard side of the larger sprocket facing a smaller sprocket. The recess is on a side of the larger sprocket facing the smaller sprocket. The passage recess extends from a radially outer tooth tip of the outer link plate passage tooth to a non-load tooth flank of the outer link plate passage tooth or a tooth base directly adjacent to the outer link plate passage tooth such that during a gear shifting of a chain from a larger sprocket to a directly adjacent smaller sprocket, the chain passes the outer link plate passage tooth on the outboard side of the sprocket.

  • Patent number: 10710676
    Abstract: A sprocket wheel for a bicycle includes a first main surface, which is flat in one or more sections, and a second main surface, which is situated opposite the first main surface. The second main surface is flat in one or more sections and extends parallel to the first main surface in one or more sections. The sprocket wheel also has an outer circumferential surface, which connects the first and the second main surface to one another and on which toothing is provided.
