发明名称 Bicycle crank axle assembly
摘要 A bicycle crank axle assembly has first and second crank arms that are attached to opposite ends of a crank axle. The ends of the crank axle are non-rotatably disposed in axle mounting openings of the first and second crank arms. A first end of the crank axle has at least one axially extending first spline that protrudes radially outward from an outer peripheral surface of its middle body portion. The at least one axially extending first spline non-rotatably couples the crank axle to the first crank arm and prevents outward axial movement of the first crank arm away from the second crank arm. The second end portion of the crank axle has at least one recess that extend radially inward with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the middle body portion to form at least one axially extending second spline.

主权项 1. A bicycle crank axle assembly comprising: a first crank arm including a first axle mounting opening that is through bore; a second crank arm including a second axle mounting opening; and a crank axle including a first end portion, a second end portion and a middle body portion located between the first and second end portions, the crank axle being mounted in the first axle mounting opening of the first crank arm with a non-interference fit therebetween, and the first end portion of the crank axle is attached to the first axle mounting opening by adhesive, the first end portion of the crank axle having at least one axially extending first spline that protrudes radially outward from a radial position corresponding to an outer peripheral surface of the middle body portion, the outer peripheral surface of the middle body portion and a base outer peripheral surface of the first end portion excluding the at least one axially extending first spline having equal diameters, the first end portion of the crank axle being disposed in the first axle mounting opening, the at least one axially extending first spline non-rotatably coupling the crank axle to the first crank arm and preventing outward axial movement of the first crank arm away from the second crank arm along the crank axle, the second end portion of the crank axle having at least one recess that extend radially inward with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the middle body portion to form at least one axially extending second spline, the second end portion of the crank axle being non-rotatably disposed in the second axle mounting opening.
