Abstract
A bicycle clutch comprises a transmission shaft, at least two gears, at least two slide blocks, at least two clutch blocks, at least two guiding blocks, a switch shaft and a stationary shaft. The gears and the slide blocks are coaxially disposed on the transmission shaft. The sliding blocks, switch shaft and stationary shaft are coaxially assembled. The clutch blocks are disposed on the transmission shaft, the gears and the slide blocks. The guiding blocks are disposed on the switch shaft and the slide blocks. Through angle deflection, the clutch can selectively make one of the gears engage with the driven assembly to change the rotation speed.
Claims5
A bicycle clutch comprising:
- a transmission shaft defined with at least two spaced-apart restricting holes;
- at least two gears rotatably mounted on the transmission shaft;
- at least two slide blocks rotatably inserted in the transmission shaft, in an outer surface of each of the slide blocks being defined a first restricting groove and in an inner surface of the respective slide blocks being defined a second restricting groove;
- a switch shaft rotatably inserted in the slide blocks and having at least two spaced-apart slots, the switch shaft being rotatably inserted on a stationary shaft which is defined with an axial restricting slot;
- at least two clutch blocks being inserted in the respective restricting holes of the transmission shaft in such a manner that both ends of the respective clutch blocks are rotatably disposed on the respective gears and the first restricting groove of the respective slide blocks, respectively;
- and
- at least two guiding blocks inserted in the respective slots of the switch shaft in such a manner that both ends of the respective guiding blocks are rotatably disposed in the second restricting groove of the respective slide blocks and the restricting slot of the switch shaft, respectively.
