20060211528 - Gear shift device for bicycles: A motorized bicycle gear shift device comprising a derailleur and an electric motor, associated directly with the derailleur, for controlling the derailleur and an electric transducer of absolute type, also associated with the derailleur for producing an electric signal indicative of the absolute position of the movable body of the...

20060211529 - Ovoid chainrings for optimising conventional pedaling: Improvement in the design of variable original radius chainrings for coupling to conventional bicycle cranks in order to apply traction, which primarily consists of its being provided with a plurality of possible anchorages to the crank, so that the user may adjust the relative position between the crank and the...

20060205548 - Guide for transmission device: In a sliding contact chain guide of the kind used in the timing transmission of an internal combustion engine, a synthetic resin guide shoe is attached to a pivoting support arm by protrusions formed as unitary parts of the shoe, which engage notches formed in the support arm. L-shaped protrusions...

20060205549 - Bicycle sprocket: A bicycle sprocket basically has a metallic sprocket ring part and a synthetic resin fastening part that is configured to ensure that weight can be reduced and that loss of fastening force resulting from deterioration or deformation of the synthetic resin can be prevented. The metallic sprocket ring part includes...

20060205550 - Link chain and associated methods: A bicycle chain for improved endurance includes pairs of substantially identical plates. Each plate has a generally oval shape, with, in one embodiment, a generally centrally located indentation along an inner edge. A pair of plates is orientable with the respective inner faces of the first and the second end...

20060199687 - Saddle-type vehicle and engine: A secondary sheave shaft of a transmission is disposed vertically higher than a drive shaft when viewed along the axial direction of the shafts. An idle shaft of a speed-reduction mechanism is disposed between a primary sheave and an imaginary plane that extends through an axis of rotation of the...

20060199688 - Actuator for a bicycle gear-shift: A bicycle gear-shift actuator having an articulated quadrilateral support with four connecting rods hinged together by four pin elements, and a motor member, having a variable length output shaft that travels along a drive axis between two opposite pin elements to move them for deforming the articulated quadrilateral. Preferably, the...

20060199689 - Sliding contact guide for transmission: In a sliding contact chain guide of the kind used in the timing transmission of an internal combustion engine, the guide body is formed by injection molding of a synthetic resin. The guide body includes reinforcing ribs of substantially uniform width, forming a Y-shaped truss structure....

20060199690 - Chain guide: A bicycle chain guiding device that substantially encloses a front chain wheel inside an interior cavity at least partially defined by a first and a second wall, the second wall provided with entry and exit openings to allow the chain to enter and exit the interior cavity. The entry and...

20060199691 - Double-face driving silent chain and silent chain power transmission device using the same: There is provided a double-face driving silent chain wherein the size of each inner link plate of an exterior driving link train to a back face thereof is set to be equal to or greater than the size of each link plate of an interior driving link train. Thereby, inner...
