Abstract

A motorcycle wheel isolator comprising a first sprocket member, the first sprocket member having a first projecting member, a second hub member, the second hub member having a second projecting member, at least one first projecting member disposed between two second projecting members, whereby a receiving portion is defined, at least one resilient isolator having a first portion and a second portion connected by a connecting member, the resilient isolator disposed in the receiving portion, an edge of each first portion and second portion having a chamfer disposed adjacent either the first projecting member or second projecting member, each first portion and second portion having a projecting member disposed on an outer surface of each first portion and second portion such that a compressive force applied to the first portion and second portion causes a bending mode in each first portion and second portion, and each first portion and second portion having a relief portion disposed on an outer surface of each first portion and second portion such that the first portion and second portion may expand under the compressive force.

Claims (16)

1 . A motorcycle wheel isolator comprising:

a first sprocket member, the first sprocket member having a first projecting member;

a second hub member, the second hub member having a second projecting member;

at least one first projecting member disposed between two second projecting members, whereby a receiving portion is defined;

at least one resilient isolator having a first portion and a second portion connected by a connecting member, the resilient isolator disposed in the receiving portion;

an edge of each first portion and second portion having a chamfer disposed adjacent either the first projecting member or second projecting member;

each first portion and second portion having a projecting member disposed on an outer surface of each first portion and second portion such that a compressive force applied to the first portion and second portion causes a bending mode in each first portion and second portion; and

each first portion and second portion having a relief portion disposed on an outer surface of each first portion and second portion such that the first portion and second portion may expand under the compressive force.

2 . The motorcycle wheel isolator as in claim 1 , wherein:

the first projecting member further comprises a recess, through which recess the connecting member extends.

3 . The motorcycle wheel isolator as in claim 1 further comprising a plurality of resilient isolators.

4 . The motorcycle wheel isolator as in claim 1 , wherein the first sprocket member comprises a surface for engaging a toothed belt.

5 . The motorcycle wheel isolator as in claim 1 , wherein:

the first portion and the second portion each further comprising a concave recess;

each concave recess being cooperatively disposed opposite each other; and

the connecting member disposed adjacent the concave recesses.
