Abstract
The invention concerns a method and a device for attenuating oscillating movements and clamping in a predetermined position one end of a freely depending spoke for example when mounting spoke wheels. The free end of the spoke is permitted to slide into a slot which includes an energy attenuating structure which the spoke passes. When the free end of the spoke thereupon exits from the slot it is intercepted by a magnet and thereafter guided to a securing device by which it is clamped.
Claims7
A method of attenuating an oscillating movement and clamping in a predetermined position the free end of at least one spoke which after having been introduced through a spoke aperture at the bottom of a spoke hub depends freely under the influence of gravity, comprising
- (a) guiding said free end of the spoke into a slot which includes an energy attenuating structure so that said free end of the spoke exits from the slot with a continued attenuated movement,
- (b) intercepting said exiting free end of said spoke by a magnet, and
- (c) guiding the intercepted free end of said spoke to a securing device for clamping said free end of said spoke in an intended position.
A device for attenuating an oscillating movement and for clamping in a predetermined position the free end of at least one spoke which after having been introduced through a spoke aperture at the bottom of a spoke hub depends freely under the influence of gravity, comprising
- two plates,
- said plates being located in the same plane and having a slot which is open at both of its ends disposed between said plates,
- means for attenuating the movement of a spoke moving in said slot,
- said attenuating means being located at an exit end of said slot, and
- a permanent magnet,
- said permanent magnet being disposed immediately outside of the exit end of said slot.
