Association Géocaching Québec - Accueil Hydraulic brake device patent - Ashima Ltd. 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hydraulic brake, and more particularly to a hydraulic brake assembly used to apply opposing brake loads on the wheel rim of a vehicle such as a bicycle, a motorcycle, and the like. 2. A conventional rim brake in accordance with the prior art comprises a pair of left and right arms pivotally attached to a frame of a bicycle, each having on its distal end portion a brake shoe, and a spring for energizing the arms to move toward brake releasing direction. A conventional hydraulic brake in accordance with the prior art comprises a hydraulic cylinder, a piston movably received in the axial direction of the cylinder, and a brake pad connected to the piston.

SPORTS : Ski, Snowboard, Nordic, Running, Trail, Kid, Man and Women's sport clothing Improving Chain Lubrication The majority of chains used in industry suffer unnecessarily short lives. This leads many companies to forego chains all together and replace them with belts. In most cases, however, the problem is not the fault of the chains but rather the method in which they are lubricated. The current chain lubrication practice consists of applying a heavy oil or grease to the outside of the chain. The majority of chains fail from the inside. Figure 1. A penetrating-type chain lubricant not only displaces water, but also cleans dirt and wear metals out of the pins of the chain and off of the sprockets. The operating conditions (including load, environment, temperature and speed) must also be considered. The method of lubrication is equally important. Lubrication is required between the rollers and bushings, but other important areas to lubricate are the pin and bushing surfaces, which articulate with each other while the chain is under full load.
