Abstract: A cable disk brake apparatus comprises a caliper housing structured to be attached to a bicycle, a first brake pad coupled to the caliper housing for movement between a release position and a braking position, and a second brake pad coupled to the caliper housing and arranged facing the first brake pad. A drive shaft is coupled to the caliper housing, wherein the drive shaft rotates around a drive shaft axis to move the first brake pad in an axial direction from the release position towards the braking position. An actuating member rotates to communicate rotational force to the drive shaft to cause the drive shaft to move the first brake pad from the release position towards the braking position, and a drive coupling member is coupled to the drive shaft to communicate rotational force from the actuating member to the drive shaft. An adjusting member adjusts a position of the drive coupling member relative to the actuating member.

Abstract: A brake camshaft and a method of manufacture. The brake camshaft may include a tube portion, a cam portion, and an end portion. The tube portion may have a first tube end, a second tube end, and a tube cavity that extends from the first tube end to the second tube end. The cam portion may be disposed on the first tube end. The end portion may be disposed on the second tube end.

Abstract: A double ball joint locking device has a first ball socket mounted to a first telescopic member. The first ball socket has a first ball. A second ball socket is mounted to a second telescopic member. The second ball socket has a second ball. The first telescopic member has a telescopic connection with the second telescopic member such that the length of the double ball joint locking device is adjustable. A first ball locking rod is threadedly mounted to a first ball socket base at a first threaded mounting. A second ball locking rod is threadedly mounted to a second ball socket base, at a second threaded mounting. The second threaded mounting has an opposite handed orientation to the first threaded mounting. A first ball locking rod to second ball locking rod connection glidingly connects the first ball locking rod to the second ball locking rod.

Abstract: The rung assembly is made of two piece construction and of metal while the siderail is made of a reinforced plastics material. The rung assembly includes a rung having a hollow end and a flanged fitting which is secured over the hollow end of the rung by swaging of the hollow end and fitting under a longitudinally applied compressive force. The compression force forms peripheral beads on the rung and fitting which interlock with each other. The rung assembly is secured to the siderail by any suitable fastening means such as rivets, bolts and the like which pass through the flange of the fitting and siderail.
