Abstract
An axle system, and a two-wheeler component with a first dropout and a second dropout and an axle system with an axle for receiving a wheel of a two-wheeler, wherein a clamping mechanism with a tightening device and an end device is provided and equipped to clampingly attach the axle received at the dropouts between the tightening device and the end device. The clamping force is independent of a possibly possible rotary movement of the axle.
Claims23
An axle system, comprising:
- an axle for receiving a wheel of a two-wheeler and having a clamping mechanism having at least one tightening device and at least one end device, said tightening device including a decoupling device configured to transfer a coupling device having engagement components at least from an engagement position to a release position, wherein the decoupling device is configured to displace the engagement components radially outwardly, the clamping mechanism being equipped and provided to clampingly attach a wheel between the tightening device and the end device to a component of the two-wheeler with a clamping force, the clamping force being independent of a possible rotary movement of the axle.
An axle system, comprising:
- an axle for receiving a wheel of a two-wheeler and having a clamping mechanism having at least one tightening device and at least one end device, the clamping mechanism being equipped and provided to clampingly attach a wheel between the tightening device and the end device to a two-wheeler component, the tightening device receives at least part of a coupling device which is suitable for coupling the axle with the tightening device, wherein the coupling device is free to rotate relative to the tightening device and/or relative to the axle without affecting the clamping force when the coupling device is rotated.
A two-wheeler component, comprising:
- a first dropout and a second dropout and an axle system with an axle for receiving a wheel of a two-wheeled vehicle, including a clamping mechanism with at least one tightening device and at least one end device equipped to clampingly attach the axle received at the dropouts between the at least one tightening device and the at least one end device, the at least one tightening device receives a coupling device which is movable between an engagement position and a release position, wherein in the engagement position the coupling device form-fittingly retains a coupling piece of the axle, and wherein in the release position, the coupling device releases the coupling piece;
- and
- a decoupling device, said decoupling device is axially displaceable from a home position to a decoupling position and further to a release position, wherein the decoupling device is preloaded in the home position, wherein the tightening device comprises a tightening bush at which the coupling device is received, and wherein the tightening bush comprises an external thread engaging an internal thread of the dropout,
- configured to axially displace the coupling piece of the axle from the decoupling position to the release position and to activate a preloading device of an end device with which the axle with the coupling piece is automatically pulled out further of the tightening device, wherein the clamping mechanism is configured to clampingly attach a wheel between the tightening device and the end device to a two-wheeler component with a clamping force, the clamping force being independent of a possible rotary movement of the axle.
1 more element
An axle system, comprising:
- an axle for receiving a wheel of a two-wheeler and having a clamping mechanism having at least one tightening device and at least one end device, said end device including a pusher and a preloading device wherein the pusher counters a force generated by the preloading device, and wherein the clamping mechanism is equipped and provided to clampingly attach a wheel between the tightening device and the end device to a two-wheeler component, the clamping force being independent of a possible rotary movement of the axle.
