Motorcycle wheel isolator
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.
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.
