Abstract
An electrical assembly is provided to a human-powered vehicle. The electrical assembly includes an electric component and an electrical cable. The electrical cable has a first cable-end electrically connected to the electric component and a second cable-end spaced from the first cable-end by an intermediate section of the electrical cable. A cable intersection is formed in the intermediate section of the electrical cable to restrict movement of the electrical cable relative to the electric component.
Claims19
An electrical assembly for a human-powered vehicle, the electrical assembly comprising:
- an electric component;
- and
- an electrical cable having a first cable-end electrically connected to the electric component and a second cable-end spaced from the first cable-end by an intermediate section of the electrical cable,
- a cable intersection being formed in the intermediate section of the electrical cable to restrict movement of the electrical cable relative to the electric component, the intermediate section of the electrical cable extending over and wrapping around itself to form the cable intersection.
An electrical assembly for a human-powered vehicle, the electrical assembly comprising
- an electric component;
- an electrical cable having a first cable-end electrically connected to the electric component and a second cable-end spaced from the first cable-end by an intermediate section of the electrical cable;
- and
- a guide portion,
- a cable intersection being formed in the intermediate section of the electrical cable to restrict movement of the electrical cable relative to the electric component,
- the intermediate section of the electrical cable being wound at least once around the guide portion to hold the intermediate section of the electrical cable against the guide portion.
A hub assembly comprising:
- an electric component;
- an electrical cable having a first cable-end electrically connected to the electric component and a second cable-end spaced from the first cable-end by an intermediate section of the electrical cable,
- a hub axle having a first axial end and a second axial end;
- a hub body rotatably mounted on the hub axle to rotate around a rotational center axis of the hub assembly;
- a guide portion;
- and
- a spacer provided between the hub axle and the electric component in a radial direction with respect to the rotational center axis,
- a cable intersection being formed in the intermediate section of the electrical cable to restrict movement of the electrical cable relative to the electric component,
- the electric component being non-rotatably disposed on the hub axle, and
- the guide portion being included in the spacer.
