Abstract
A bicycle gearshift mechanism has a base element, a pivot mechanism, a movable element, and a chain guide arrangement. The pivot mechanism connects the base element to the movable element. The chain guide arrangement is connected, rotatably about a rotary axle, to the movable element. The base element comprises a first attachment end, which is coaxial with respect to the rear-wheel axle or axis, and a second attachment end for coupling to the pivot mechanism.
Claims22
A rear gearshift mechanism for coaxial installation on a rear-wheel axis of a bicycle, comprising:
- a base element,
- a linkage mechanism,
- a movable element, and
- a chain guide arrangement,
- wherein the linkage mechanism connects the base element to the movable element, and the chain guide arrangement is connected rotatably about a rotary axis, to the movable element, and wherein the base element comprises a first attachment end for coaxial installation on the rear-wheel axis and a second attachment end for coupling to the linkage mechanism, and
- wherein the first attachment end has a first arm and a second arm, which are arranged so as to be spaced apart from one another along the rear-wheel axis, and
- in an installed state, the first arm is arranged on an axial inner side of a frame and the second arm is arranged on an axial outer side of the frame.
A rear gearshift mechanism for coaxial installation on a rear-wheel axis of a bicycle, comprising:
- a base element,
- a linkage mechanism,
- a movable element, and
- a chain guide arrangement,
- wherein the linkage mechanism connects the base element to the movable element, and the chain guide arrangement is connected rotatably about a rotary axis, to the movable element, and wherein the base element comprises a first attachment end, having a first arm and a second arm, for coaxial installation on the rear-wheel axis and a second attachment end for coupling to the linkage mechanism, and
- wherein the base element, in particular a hub stop surface of the first arm, abuts in an operationally ready state axially against a hub end cap, and
- in an installed state, the first arm is arranged on an axial inner side of a frame and the second arm is arranged on an axial outer side of the frame.
A rear gearshift mechanism for coaxial installation on a rear-wheel axis of a bicycle, comprising:
- a base element having a rotary axle, the rotary axle of the base element running along the rear-wheel axis of the bicycle,
- a linkage mechanism,
- a movable element, and
- a chain guide arrangement,
- wherein the linkage mechanism connects the base element to the movable element, and the chain guide arrangement is connected rotatably about a rotary axis, to the movable element, and wherein the base element comprises a first attachment end, having a first arm and a second arm, for coaxial installation on the rear-wheel axis and a second attachment end for coupling to the linkage mechanism, and
- wherein the linkage mechanism comprises at least one pivot axle which is oriented orthogonally with respect to the rear-wheel axis, and
- in an installed state, the first arm is arranged on an axial inner side of a frame and the second arm is arranged on an axial outer side of the frame.
