20080246332 | Quick release camming mechanism - A quick release camming mechanism is used in a bicycle skewer that secures a hub to a fork. Whereas prior art quick release mechanisms have only a single lever, this mechanism has two independent levers. About half the force is required to independently push either lever closed as to push both levers closed simultaneously. Similarly, about half the force is required to open either lever individually as to open them simultaneously. A similar quick release camming mechanism also works well for a quick release seat post clamp with similar advantages. The present invention is not limited to use on bicycle components. | 10-09-2008 |

20130192767 | TIRE LEVER - A unitary structure tire lever has an opening for the user to insert fingers and grab the lever when installing and removing a tire from a rim. The lever has a curved smooth installation hook at one end with a ridge to engage a lip of a tire rim during tire installation. The lever also has a curved smooth removal hook at the other end with a notch that enables the lever to pivot about the lip of the tire rim during tire removal. The removal hook also has a curved seat portion that engages with a bead of the tire during tire removal. | 08-01-2013 |
