BICYCLE HUB FOR A BICYCLE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

摘要

A bicycle hub 1 includes a hollow cylindrical body 3 which is provided with external splines having teeth 5 extending in axial direction. Each tooth has a first axial side 7 which is loaded during use by a sprocket wheel slid onto the body and an opposite, second axial side 9. Three of the teeth are composed of two portions, that is to say a first portion 11 which forms a whole with the body and a second portion which forms an insert 13. The insert partly forms the first side 7 of the tooth. The body is provided with three axial grooves 15 which accommodate the inserts 13. The inserts 13 partly protrude above the grooves and the height 17 of the inserts is approximately equal to the width 19 of the inserts.

1. A bicycle hub (1) for a bicycle transmission system comprising a hollow cylindrical body (3) which has external splines with teeth (5) extending in axial direction, which teeth have each a first axial side (7) which is loaded during use by a sprocket wheel slid onto the body and an opposite, second axial side (9), of which teeth at least one tooth comprises two portions, that is to say a first portion (11) which forms a whole with the body and a second portion which forms an insert (13), where the insert at least partially forms the first side (7) and the first portion (11) forms the second side (9), where the body (3) is provided with at least one axial groove (15) and the insert (13) is accommodated in the groove and partially protrude above the groove, wherein the insert (13) is formed by a rectangular block of which at either one of the two ends two oppositely located ribs have a rounded shape, and the insert is accommodated in the groove over the entire insert length and is in contact with a sidewall of the groove as well as a sidewall of the first portion of the tooth, where the top of the insert is flush with the top of the first portion of the tooth.
