This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017788 titled 'QUICK-RELEASE FOR BICYCLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a quick-release mechanism for a bicycle axle. The axle is threaded onto the chain stay of the bicycle and has a passage through it. The head of the axle has a groove with recesses on the inside. A knob is fitted into the groove, and a rod with a ball at the end is movably located in the passage. When the rod is pulled and the ball engages with the recesses, the axle rotates to release the wheels from the chain stay.
