Freewheel of a Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240209902 titled 'Freewheel of a Vehicle
The abstract of a patent application describes a freewheel mechanism for a vehicle, specifically a two-wheeler, which includes a first shaft, a second shaft with a first gear cog, a freewheel element with a second gear cog, and a friction element. The first and second gear cogs transfer torque between the second shaft and the freewheel element. The freewheel element can move axially on the first shaft and is non-rotatable in the circumferential direction. A helical mechanism connects the freewheel element and the friction element, allowing for translational displacement when they rotate relative to each other.
- The freewheel mechanism is designed for vehicles, particularly two-wheelers.
- It includes a first shaft, a second shaft with a gear cog, a freewheel element with another gear cog, and a friction element.
- The gear cogs facilitate torque transfer between the second shaft and the freewheel element.
- The freewheel element can move axially on the first shaft and is non-rotatable in the circumferential direction.
- A helical mechanism connects the freewheel element and the friction element, enabling translational displacement during rotation.
Potential Applications: - Two-wheeler vehicles - Bicycles - Motorcycles
Problems Solved: - Improved torque transfer - Enhanced performance of freewheel mechanisms
Benefits: - Increased efficiency - Reduced wear and tear - Smoother operation
Commercial Applications: - Bicycle manufacturing industry - Motorcycle production companies - Automotive parts suppliers
Questions about the Freewheel Mechanism: 1. How does the helical mechanism contribute to the operation of the freewheel element? 2. What advantages does the non-rotatable feature of the freewheel element provide in terms of performance and durability?
Original Abstract Submitted
a freewheel of a vehicle, in particular a two-wheeler, includes (i) a first shaft, (ii) a second shaft having a first gear cog, (iii) a freewheel element having a second gear cog, and (iv) a friction element. the first gear cog and the second gear cog are configured to, when engaged with each other, effect a torque transfer between the second shaft and the freewheel element. the freewheel element is arranged to be displaceable in an axial direction on the first shaft. the freewheel element is arranged to be non-rotatable relative to the first shaft in the circumferential direction. the freewheel element and the friction element are connected to one another by way of a helical mechanism which is configured to effect a translational displacement of the freewheel element and the friction element relative to one another when the freewheel element and friction element rotate relative to one another.
