Abstract
A drop-out mounting structure of a bicycle frame to inhibit a drop-out member from being separated from the bicycle frame is disclosed. The drop-out mounting structure of the bicycle frame for mounting a drop-out member as a wheel mounting unit to a drop-out mounting unit of a bicycle frame through a bolt may include an assembly slot formed at the drop-out mounting unit to insert the drop-out member inside the drop-out mounting unit and a stopper unit formed at an upper end part of the drop-out member with a length that is longer than an opening end of the assembly slot.
Claims11
A drop-out mounting structure for mounting a drop-out member as a wheel mounting unit to a drop-out mounting unit of a bicycle frame with a bolt, the drop-out mounting structure comprising:
- an assembly slot formed at the drop-out mounting unit to insert the drop-out member inside the drop-out mounting unit;
- and
- a stopper unit formed at an upper end part of the drop-out member with a length that is longer than an opening end of the assembly slot,
- wherein:
- the assembly slot is formed at a lower end of the drop-out mounting unit in a front and rear direction;
- the stopper unit is formed at the upper end part of the drop-out member in the front and rear direction;
- and
- the drop-out member is inserted inside the drop-out mounting unit through the assembly slot by turning the drop-out member in a direction, supports an inner upper end of the drop-out mounting unit through the stopper unit, and is fastened to the drop-out mounting unit by the bolt in a fixedly disposed state, and
- wherein the stopper unit includes:
- a first stopper protrusion formed to be protruded from the upper end part of the drop-out member to a rear side;
- and
- a second stopper protrusion formed to be protruded from the upper end part of the drop-out member to a front side with a protrusion length that is larger than the first stopper protrusion.
A drop-out mounting structure for mounting a drop-out member as a wheel mounting unit to a drop-out mounting unit of a bicycle frame in which both side panels that are respectively stamp-molded are bonded by welding with a bolt, the drop-out mounting structure comprising:
- an assembly slot formed to be connected to a rear end and a lower end of the drop-out mounting unit to insert the drop-out member inside the drop-out mounting unit;
- and
- a stopper unit formed at an upper end part of the drop-out member with a width that is larger than a width of the assembly slot in a front and rear direction,
- wherein the drop-out member is inserted inside the drop-out mounting unit through the assembly slot by turning the drop-out member in a direction, supports an inner upper end of the drop-out mounting unit through the stopper unit, and is fastened to the drop-out mounting unit by the bolt in a fixedly disposed state,
- wherein
- the stopper unit includes:
- a first stopper protrusion formed to be protruded to a rear side and rounded along a lower direction at the upper end part of the drop-out member;
- and
- a second stopper protrusion formed to be protruded to a front side from the upper end part of the drop-out member.
