Bicycle pedal assembly with two identical anchoring frames for engaging and retaining a cleat unit on the top or bottom of the pedal body

A bicycle pedal assembly adapted to be mounted on a bicycle pedal shaft and adapted to engage a cleat unit having forward and rearward ends, said bicycle pedal assembly comprising:

• a one-piece pedal body including a longitudinal tubular portion, and a front pair and a rear pair of left and right lateral walls extending transversely and oppositely from said tubular portion;
• front and rear anchoring frames respectively disposed between said front and rear pairs of left and right lateral walls, each of said front and rear anchoring frames being formed as a four-sided loop-shaped wall structure which includes upper and lower engaging walls spaced apart from each other, and left and right mounting walls connected to said upper and lower engaging walls, said mounting walls of said front and rear anchoring frames having aligned mounting holes, respectively, and a lug portion which extends as a cantilever between said left and right mounting walls substantially in a direction from one of said upper and lower engaging walls toward the other one of said upper and lower engaging walls, said lug potion being formed with a lug hole, said lug hole having a center axis substantially perpendicular to the cross-sectional plane of the four-sided loop-shaped wall structure of a respective one of said front and rear anchoring frames;
• front and rear axles which extend through said mounting holes longitudinally of said tubular portion and which have opposite ends respectively mounted on said front and rear pairs of left and right lateral walls;
• coiled torsion springs respectively sleeved around said front and rear axles and disposed within said four-sided loop-shaped wall structures of said front and rear anchoring frames, each of said torsion springs having a secured end abutting against the pedal body and an anchored end extending between said tubular portion and a respective one of said front and rear anchoring frames;
• and
• screw members respectively extending from said lug portions toward said anchored ends of said torsion springs and passing through said lug holes in said lug portions, said screw members respectively having nut portions threadedly engaging therewith for compressing and adjusting tension of said torsion springs.
