20140202262 | TORQUE-MEASURING HUB, POWER-MEASURING SYSTEM, CYCLE WHEEL EQUIPPED WITH SUCH A HUB OR SYSTEM, AND MEASURING METHOD USING SUCH A HUB - A hub for measuring the driving torque of a cycle wheel, the hub including a central shaft defining an axis of rotation of the wheel, and a hub body mounted to rotate freely about the shaft, the hub body including a central portion bordered on both sides by respective flanges, the flanges fastening at least one connecting element to connect the hub body to a rim of the wheel. The hub includes a system for measuring the driving torque of the wheel including strain gauges fixed on the hub body. | 07-24-2014 |
20130285436 | CYCLE WHEEL SPOKE AND CYCLE WHEEL COMPRISING SUCH A SPOKE - A spoke including a metallic core covered, at least in its central portion, with a sheath of composite material comprised of an assembly of fibers embedded in a matrix, the core including an end portion adapted to be attached to the rim or the hub of a wheel, and a main body whose cross-sectional surface area is between 30% and 50% or, in a particular embodiment, between 35% and 45%, of the cross-sectional surface area of the aforementioned end portion. Furthermore, in the area of the main body, the sheath has a cross section between 150% and 500% or, in a particular embodiment, between 150% and 350%, of the cross section of the metallic core in the same area. The metal core includes two mechanical anchoring zones, positioned in the vicinity of its ends, on both sides of the main body. | 10-31-2013 |
20130169031 | CYCLE WHEEL RIM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - The invention includes a rim for a cycle wheel, having a U-shaped radial cross section, with two lateral flanges and a bridge connecting the flanges and located so as to be opposite an axis rotation of the wheel. The flanges each define a planar braking surface, adapted to cooperate with a brake pad. The height of at least one braking surface, measured radially, is not constant over the circumference of the rim and has at least one variation in height. | 07-04-2013 |
20130169030 | CYCLE WHEEL RIM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - The invention includes a rim for a cycle wheel having a U-shaped radial cross section, with two lateral flanges located on opposite sides of a median plane of the rim and each demarcated by an outer surface facing away from the median plane, on the one hand, and a bridge connecting the flanges and comprising an outer surface facing toward the axis of rotation of the wheel, on the other hand. At least one median zone of the outer surface of the bridge, which has a transverse width measured perpendicular to the median plane and greater than 4 mm, is machined over the entire circumference of the rim. | 07-04-2013 |
20130167379 | CYCLE WHEEL RIM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - The invention includes a method for manufacturing a cycle wheel rim having, in radial cross section, two lateral flanges and a bridge, the rim having an outer surface facing outward of the rim and defined by the bridge and by at least a portion of the flanges. The manufacturing method includes the following:
