SPECIFIED CLAMP FORCE INDUCING TRANSMISSION FOR A BICYCLE FORK MOUNT

A drive mechanism (100) is presented for tightening a skewer (70) of a bicycle fork anchor (50) upon a prong of a bicycle fork by delivering a predetermined drive-force to the skewer (70). The drive mechanism (100) draws a head (72) of the skewer (70) against the prong thereby pinch-securing the bic...

Zusammenfassung:A drive mechanism (100) is presented for tightening a skewer (70) of a bicycle fork anchor (50) upon a prong of a bicycle fork by delivering a predetermined drive-force to the skewer (70). The drive mechanism (100) draws a head (72) of the skewer (70) against the prong thereby pinch-securing the bicycle fork to the bicycle fork anchor (50). The drive mechanism (100) includes a manually operable actuator (80) and a transmission (102). The manually operable actuator (80) is coupled to the transmission (102). The transmission (102) includes a slip mechanism (104) that only transmits driving forces to the skewer (70) of the bicycle fork anchor (50) that are less than the predetermined drive-force.
