MULTIPLE SPEED SPROCKET AND ACTIVATING DEVICE

摘要

A novel combination of an adjustable sprocket wheel (1,2) and transmission mechanism enables the bicyclist to convert his energy as optimum as possible into motion. An important detail is that one of the pedal supporting cranks is connected with both the toothed segments (1,2) of the sprocket wheel in pivots (11,12) situated as close as possible in the proximity of the nominal diameter of the sprocket wheel. Both toothed segments (1,2) are interconnected by means of lever systems (14,15) with to the outside end a fixed pivot (16,17) onto the one segment and to the other end a pin (18) which is movable in various positions in an adjustment groove (19) of the other segment.
