Embodiment Construction

[0066] start reference Figure 1-3 , illustrating that the front and rear portions of the bicycle 10 are provided with a pair of cable disc brakes 12a and 12b connected thereto in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Bicycles such as bicycle 10 are well known in the art, so bicycle 10 and its various components will not be discussed or illustrated in detail here. It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains that the bicycle 10 may be any type of bicycle, such as a mountain bike, a hybrid bike or a road bike. The bicycle 10 is a conventional bicycle, which basically includes a bicycle frame 13 with a handlebar 14 , a front fork 15 a , a rear fork 15 b , a front wheel 16 a , a rear wheel 16 b and a drive chain 17 .

[0067] as in Figure 2-4 As seen in , the front and rear cable disc brakes 12a and 12b are identical to each other except for their connection to the bicycle 10 and their respective brake ope...

Abstract

A bicycle cable disc brake is equipped with a disc brake pad adjustment mechanism to adjust the gap between the friction pads. Cable disc brakes have a first caliper housing portion that contains a cable actuating mechanism, and a second caliper housing portion that contains a disc brake pad adjustment mechanism. The disc brake pad adjustment mechanism consists of a caliper housing part, an adjustment shaft, an adjustment plate and an adjustment bias component. The adjustment shaft is movably connected to the caliper housing portion for rotation about the longitudinal axis of the adjustment shaft. The adjustment plate is connected to the adjustment shaft for axial movement along the longitudinal axis of the adjustment shaft as the adjustment shaft rotates relative to the caliper housing portion. The adjustment biasing member is operably disposed between the caliper housing portion and the adjustment shaft and is arranged to axially force the adjustment shaft against the caliper housing portion. The adjustment shaft and caliper housing portion are configured with indexing means to selectively maintain the adjustment shaft in a predetermined angular position relative to the caliper housing portion along the longitudinal axis of the adjustment shaft.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention generally relates to a cable operated disc brake for a bicycle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cable operated disc brake with a disc brake heat plate adjustment mechanism to adjust the gap between the friction pads. Background technique [0002] Cycling has increasingly become a form of recreation and transportation for the masses. Also, cycling is already a very common competitive sport. Whether bicycles are used for recreation, transportation or competition, the bicycle industry is constantly improving their components. One particular component of bicycles, which has been extensively redesigned several times in recent years, is the bicycle's brake system. In particular, the braking force of the brake system is continuously increased. [0003] There are several types of bicycle brake devices currently on the market. Examples of several common types of bicycle brake devices include rim brakes, caliper brakes a...
