Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A bearing retaining element for bicycle headset bearings includes a basic element which, in a mounted state, at least partly surrounds a steerer tube. The basic element retains a clamping element which also, in the mounted state, at least partly surrounds the steerer tube. Further, a clamping member in particular configured as a grub screw is provided which acts upon the clamping element for clampingly fixing the clamping element to the steerer tube.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A bearing retaining element for bicycle headset bearings, comprising a basic element which, in a mounted state, at least partly surrounds a steerer tube, a clamping element retained by said basic element, wherein the clamping element, in the mounted state, at least partly surrounds said steerer tube, and a clamping member connected with said basic element, wherein the clamping member acts upon said clamping element for clampingly fixing said clamping element to said steerer tube, wherein the basic element and the clamping element are formed integrally with each other. 2. The bearing retaining element according to claim 1 , wherein the basic element has a closed contour which, in the mounted state, completely surrounds the steerer tube. 3. The bearing retaining element according to claim 1 , wherein the basic element comprises an accommodation projection for accommodating the clamping member. 4. The bearing retaining element according to claim 3 , wherein the accommodation projection defines a thread for accommodating the clamping member, and wherein the clamping member comprises a screw. 5. The bearing retaining element according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping element comprises a clamping projection upon which the clamping member acts. 6. The bearing retaining element according to claim 5 , wherein the clamping projection comprises a contact surface extending essentially perpendicularly to a clamping direction. 7. The bearing retaining element according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping element is at least partly elastically deformable. 8. The bearing retaining element according to claim 1 , wherein the clamping element is connected with the basic element via ribs. 9. The bearing retaining element according to claim 8 , wherein at least one of the ribs comprises a hinge. 10. The bearing retaining element according to claim 4 , wherein the clamping member comprises a grub screw. 11. A bearing retaining element for bicycle headset bearings, comprising a basic element which, in a mounted state, at least partly surrounds a steerer tube, a clamping element retained by said basic element, wherein the clamping element, in the mounted state, at least partly surrounds said steerer tube, and a clamping member connected with said basic element, wherein the clamping member acts upon said clamping element for clampingly fixing said clamping element to said steerer tube, and wherein the clamping element is connected with the basic element via ribs.
