Publication number: 20230406037Abstract: An aerodynamic bicycle rim comprising: a circumferential outer portion comprising a circumferential outer surface, the circumferential outer portion adapted to seat a bicycle tire; a nose; and a set of sidewalls, each sidewall extending radially from the nose of the aerodynamic bicycle rim to a corresponding transition to the circumferential outer surface to form a rim body having a maximum rim body width that is greater than a maximum width of the bicycle tire. The aerodynamic bicycle rim is operable to seat the bicycle tire so that the aerodynamic bicycle rim and the bicycle tire form an asymmetrical cross-sectional shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Steven Arthur Hed, Christopher Andrew Edin

Patent number: 11472508Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide container mounts for mounting water bottles, bento boxes, tool holders or other containers in an aerodynamic position. According to one embodiment, the container mount can include an attachment member to attach to the bicycle frame or aerobars. One or more container support members are coupled to the attachment member in a fixed orientation or in a manner that allows the position of the support member to be adjusted. The container mounts can be configured so that the container is positioned within the aerodynamic profile of the rider's torso between the rider's arms (when viewed from the front) and is accessible by the rider while the rider maintains aerodynamic form.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2019Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: HED CYCLING PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Steven Arthur Hed

Patent number: 10875356Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide aerodynamic bicycle rims and wheels. Embodiments can include a bicycle rim that is wider than the width of the tire proximate to the outer edge of the rim and is shaped so that there is a tangent line tangent to the rim and the tire. The tangent line can be tangent to the rim on the sidewall or elsewhere on the rim. The widest part of the rim can be radially inward from the outer edge of the rim or elsewhere on the rim and the tangent line can be tangent at the widest part of the rim or elsewhere on the rim.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2018Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: HED CYCLING PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Steven Arthur Hed, Christopher Andrew Edin

Patent number: 10189303Abstract: A bicycle rim may control the two beads of the tire with separate bead channels for each bead and a center bridge extending between the two bead channels. A bicycle assembly comprises a bicycle rim having an attachable annular strip formed separately from the bicycle rim and attached to the bicycle rim along a center line of the center channel. The annular strip comprises a set of strip sidewalls and a center section extending between the strip sidewalls, wherein the strip sidewalls are spaced at less than the channel width such that the strip forms a pair of bead channels in cooperation with the channel first outer sidewall and channel second outer sidewall.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2017Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: HED CYCLING PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Steven Arthur Hed, Christopher Andrew Edin
