| 4 Claims 1. A cycle wheel alignment device for aligning the wheels on a cyck comprising a rigid casing with an alignment aperture therein, and a mounts ig mechanisin for mounting the device to the handlebars of the cyd*, the de vice including alignment arrows, and/or a needle running across the aperture, to aid in visnaDy aKgning the cycle wheel suck that, the central tyre seam, of the cycle wheel is parallel with the alignment arrows, and/or needle. A device as dainied in Claim i, being arranged to be in a fixed osition on the handlebar, saddle rail or handlebar stem of the < 3. A device as claimed any preceding claim, wherein tike mounting mechanism is -arranged to enable relatively swift attachment to, and iempval from, the cycle. 4- A device as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the mou ting mechanism is an integral or removable part of the device. 3. A device as claimed in any preceding claim/wherein the mouftthig mechanism is a pair of hooks. 6. A device as claimed in any preceding, claim, including a paddle adaptor comprising a saddle raff mount and a mount rod, the saddle rail mount for securing the saddle adaptor to the saddle of the cycle, the m wnt rod being arranged to accept the mounting mechanism of the device) such that the device facilitates ^gnm nt of the rear wheel. 7. A device as claimed in any preceding claim, which is mad|e from a rigid inflexible material w th an outer fmisb for aesthetics- 8. A device as claimed in any preceding claim where the constituent parts may be detachable. 9- A device substantially as described above and in the accompanying drawings- |
The following section is a detailed explanation of a preferred embojliment of the invention with reference to the following graphical illustrations.
P1GURE l shows a perspective view of the invention.
FIGURE.2 shows the invention, from the top view with a front wheel an^ handlebar to demonstrate usage of the invention,
FIGURE 3 shows the invention attached to the Saddle Adapter component- FIGURE shows the Saddle Adapter component.
FIGURE 5 shows the invention in use with the Saddle Adapter to align jrlie rear wheel and Saddle with the frame.
As shown in Figure 1, the Wheels-to-Cyele alignment device comprises of a rigid casing with a pair Handlebar Hooks 1 at one end of the device.
The Handlebar Hooks l can accommodate a range of handlebar circumference.
To achieve accurate alignment, the device is attached to the handlebar as shown in Figure 2 using the Handlebar Hooks i The central plane of the d nee is aligned with the central axis of the stem. Since Steins have standart-dzed options for face-plate width, the device can be created with a set width between the Arm* 2 or the device could be created in a way that allows the width between die Anns 2 to I e adjusted.
If the front wheel has gone through the process of ensuring it is running! straight along its axle, the central plane of the wheel will rim parallel to the centra! axis of the handlebar stem. Once the device is aligned with the handlebar stem, tire front wheel can tfaetk be aligned by ensuring the Alignment Arrows/Gauge 5 run akm the central plane of the tyre when die tyre is viewed directly from abene through the Alignment Aperture 4. Majority of tyres have a visible seam mat is the central plane and the joining point of a properly manufactured cycle tyre.
The Alignment Aperture 4 ma be magnified usin a suitable lens, thereby providing the user with a magnified view of the Tyre seam when in use,
The Alignment Arrows/Gauge 5 may be substituted with a single line/needle running across the Alignment Aperture 4.
The device can be used to align the rear wheel y first aligning the saddle with the frame aticd the aligning fe rear whed, using the aligned saddle as a reference point. Figure 5 shows the device used to align the saddle and rear wheel.
