Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A disc brake rotor including a friction portion and a cooling fin located radially offset from the friction portion is provided. The cooling fin is configured to deflect due to a change in temperature in the friction portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A disc brake rotor comprising: a friction portion; and a cooling fin located radially offset from the friction portion, the cooling fin being configured to deflect due to a change in temperature in the friction portion. 2 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 1 , comprising a temperature sensitive portion. 3 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 2 , wherein the cooling fin comprises the temperature sensitive portion. 4 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 2 , wherein the temperature sensitive portion is operatively connected to the cooling fin to enable deflection of the cooling fin. 5 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 2 , wherein the temperature sensitive portion comprises a bimetal material. 6 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling fin comprises a bimetal material. 7 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling fin has an at-rest position in which at least a portion of the cooling fin perpendicularly extends with respect to a rotation axis of the disc brake rotor. 8 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 1 , comprising a mounting portion configured to be mounted on a hub of a wheel, and in a deflected position, the cooling fin extends towards the hub. 9 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 1 , wherein, in a state in which the disc brake rotor in mounted on a bicycle, the cooling fin extends towards a center plane direction of the bicycle in a deflected position of the cooling fin. 10 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 1 comprising a mounting portion configured to be mounted on a hub of a wheel, and a connecting portion connecting the mounting portion to the friction portion, wherein the cooling fin is provided on the connecting portion. 11 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling fin is radially inwardly located with respect to the friction portion. 12 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of the cooling fins at least partially aligned in a circumferential direction of the disc brake rotor. 13 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of the cooling fins at least partially aligned in a radial direction of the disc brake rotor. 14 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling fin extends in a circumferential direction of the disc brake rotor. 15 . A disc brake rotor comprising: a friction portion; a cooling fin located radially offset from the friction portion; and a temperature sensitive portion operatively connected to the cooling fin to enable deflection of the cooling fin. 16 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 15 , wherein the temperature sensitive portion comprises a bimetal material. 17 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 15 , wherein the cooling fin has an at-rest position in which at least a portion of the cooling fin perpendicularly extends with respect to a rotation axis of the disc brake rotor. 18 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 15 , comprising a mounting portion configured to be mounted on a hub of a wheel, and in a deflected position, the cooling fin extends towards the hub. 19 . The disc brake rotor according to claim 15 , wherein, in a state in which the disc brake rotor is mounted on a bicycle, the cooling fin extends towards a center plane direction of the bicycle in a deflected position of the cooling fin. 20 . A disc brake rotor comprising: a friction portion; a mounting portion configured to be mounted on a hub of a wheel; a connecting portion connecting the mounting portion to the friction portion; and a cooling fin provided on the connecting portion and configured to deflect due to a change in temperature in the friction portion.
