Device allowing a safety connection between the pedal of a bicycle and the shoe worn by the cyclist

摘要

A device for providing a positive pushing or pulling connection between a bicycle pedal and the shoe worn by the cyclist, which includes a cylindrically projecting assembly to be attached to the pedal and a cylindrically recessed assembly to be fitted into the sole of the shoe. The recessed assembly is provided with radially inwardly directed lugs which can be received into a series of peripheral L-shaped slots in the assembly attached to the pedal so that by partial rotation of the foot a bayonet-type connection is made between the cyclist shoe and the pedal.
