    摘要: A bike carrier has H-shaped or inverted U-shaped wheel retention arms that pivot inward to press a cross member of each retention arm against each tire. Each cross member is infinitely adjustable along elongated slots in side arms of the retention arm for different wheel diameters. Each cross member has a shaft passing through the elongated slots, and a tool-less tensioner that fixes and releases the cross member to the side arms at selectable positions. The tensioner may be a cam lever as used on bicycle wheel quick-release hubs or a transversely threaded lever that acts as both a nut and a wrench on a threaded end of the shaft of the cross member A retention arm pivot ratchet holds each retention arm inward, pressing the cross member against the bike tire. A trailer hitch embodiment of the carrier has two bike wheel trays that pivot forward together for storage.

    摘要: A drawbar for a trailer hitch receiver tube has a translation screw passing from the back end to the front end of the drawbar in a longitudinal unthreaded passage in the drawbar. A ramp nut is threaded onto the translation screw and is retained in a ramp nut chamber in the front end of the drawbar. A captive ball is retained in a captive ball retention chamber passing between the ramp nut chamber and the exterior of the drawbar. A ramp on the ramp nut pushes the ball to extend beyond the exterior of the drawbar when the translation screw is turned to pull the ramp nut backward in the ramp nut chamber. This eliminates all play between the drawbar and the receiver tube in which the drawbar is inserted. A spring between the ramp nut and the drawbar may urge the ramp nut forward.

    摘要: A bike carrier on a drawbar for a trailer hitch receiver has two trays for the wheels of a bike. The trays pivot between an operational lateral position and a compact forward position for shipping and storage. A tray lock bar mounted in the carrier is urged by a spring into a position that automatically releasably locks the trays in the operational position. Pivoting wheel retention arms on the trays have cross members that contact the bike tires and are adjustable along the retention arms for different wheel diameters. Each cross member is held against a tire by a retention arm pivot ratchet that is releasable to allow the retention arms to pivot outward to release the bike from the carrier.

    摘要: A bike carrier for a trailer hitch receiver with two bike wheel carrying trays pivotally mounted to a bike carrying tray assembly to pivot between a co-aligned laterally opposed operational position and a folded position for shipping and storage. A tray position lock bar or lever is urged upward beside each tray by a spring, automatically releasably locking the tray in the operational position. The trays may be mounted on a tray crossbar that is mounted between side plates of the assembly. The tray crossbar may have a slot beside the trays in which a tray lock lever for each tray is pivotally mounted. A rotation stop may be mounted on the crossbar between the two trays that stops the trays in the parallel position when rotating the trays toward each other.

    摘要: At a given insertion depth (D) of a drawbar (22, 60) in a trailer hitch receiver tube (24, 68), a pin arm (26, 56, 74) attached to the drawbar extends forward beside the receiver tube and holds a captive pin (21, 51, 76) beside a pin receiving hole (30, 71) in the receiver tube. A spring (36) urges the captive pin into the pin receiving hole to retain the drawbar in the receiver tube. The pin arm may be attached to the drawbar via a crossbar (40, 70, 73). Receiver tubes of different sizes (24, 68) may be accommodated by a drawbar size adapter (62) that slips over the drawbar, enlarging it, and by a vertical adjustment mechanism (83) for the pin arm (74) that aligns the pin with the pin receiving hole in either a smaller (24) receiver tube or a larger (68) receiver tube.

    摘要: A trailer hitch drawbar 1 having a cam bar 4 mounted along one side such that rotating the cam bar extends or retracts the side of the cam bar 4a along the side of the drawbar. This cam action firmly wedges the drawbar inside a receiver tube 9. An adjustment set screw 2 is provided to set the cam for optimum expansion force in a given receiver tube. A locking pin 5 extends from the drawbar when the cam bar is rotated to the lock position. The locking pin is operated by a second cam surface 4b on the cam bar moving against the inner end of the locking pin. The pin extends into the standard locking pin hole 11 in the receiver tube to prevent longitudinal slippage of the drawbar in the receiver tube. An adjustable drawbar stop 13 sets the penetration depth of the drawbar into the receiver tube to align the locking pin with the locking hole in the receiver tube. This allows instant insertion and locking of the drawbar without searching for pin alignment. The combination of the cam bar and locking pin results in a positive connection of the drawbar in the receiver tube without play, and one that can be quickly released.

    摘要: A compact, covered front wheel drive assembly that replaces the handlebars on an existing bicycle frame. It drives the front wheel while standard bicycle foot pedals and drive train drive the rear wheel. However, it can also be operated independently of the foot pedals, or locked for use of the foot pedals alone. It has drive ratios and shifting that are independent of the rear drive train, and are configured for selectable, comfortable hand cranking rates, including normal bicycle cruising speed. Shift levers are mounted within reach of a rider's thumbs, without removing a hand from the cranks. A brake lever on each handle holds the brake cables forward at all times, eliminating interference both with the hand cranks and with obstacles brushing beside the bicycle.

    摘要: A quick-release bicycle axle fastener for standard hollow axles and standard safety drop-outs, comprising a control rod through the axle; a mount attached to one or both ends of the control rod; a cam lever attached to each mount; a washer with a finger grip, slidably mounted on the control rod inboard of the mount, shaped to engage the safety drop-out when pressed against it; and a spring urging the washer against the drop-out at all times. The cam forces the washer inward against the drop-out for clamping attachment of the wheel axle to the drop-out. When cam pressure is released, the interlock washer continues to be urged against the drop-out by the spring for safety until the washer is pulled outward by the fingers of a user. When the wheel is re-installed, the washer automatically shifts into engagement with the coupling surface of the drop-out, providing an automatic, undefeatable safety backup for the cam.

    摘要: A bicycle trainer has a horizontal frame. Pivotal hub capturing supports are attached to the frame. A bicycle wheel hub is situated between the supports where opposed hub capturing structure attaches to the hub and holds the wheel secure and upright. At least one of the supports has a quick release for capturing the hub. The quick release has a piston with a socket for fitting around the hub. The socket on the piston is urged towards the hub by a spring biased cam having a lever attached thereto. The structure supporting the rear wheel of a bicycle may be used to support the front of the bicycle. The rear and front wheel portions may be connected by a telescoping arrangement to allow for different lengths in bicycles. The rear tire rests upon and is in frictional engagement with a roller attached to the frame. The roller is tensionable by way of a brake actuated with an easily accessible push-pull cable. The roller supporting the front tire is not provided with a brake but is connected to the rear roller by an endless belt.

    摘要: A bike carrier for a trailer hitch receiver with two bike wheel carrying trays pivotally mounted to a bike carrying tray assembly to pivot between a co-aligned laterally opposed operational position and a folded position for shipping and storage. A tray position lock bar or lever is urged upward beside each tray by a spring, automatically releasably locking the tray in the operational position. The trays may be mounted on a tray crossbar that is mounted between side plates of the assembly. The tray crossbar may have a slot beside the trays in which a tray lock lever for each tray is pivotally mounted. A rotation stop may be mounted on the crossbar between the two trays that stops the trays in the parallel position when rotating the trays toward each other.
