Drop-out structure for wheel alignment
A bicycle frame structure that is manufactured by forming left and right panels and then bonding them in a pipe in/are configured to include a first fixing member fixed to the rear end portion of a chain stay and a hanger coupled to the first fixing member, being configured for rotating around a hinge pin, and having an axle slit formed in a predetermined direction.
1. A drop-out structure for wheel alignment, comprising:
a first drop out coupled to a first fixing member fixed to a rear end portion of at least one chain stay, being configured for rotating around a hinge pin, and having an axle slit; and
a hub disposed at a center of a wheel and having an axle fitted in the axle slit.
2. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the first fixing member and a first hanger of the first drop out are hinged by the hinge pin wherein the first hanger of the first drop-out rotates about a vertical axis around the first fixing member.
3. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the first fixing member and a second hanger of the first drop out are hinged by the hinge pin wherein the second hanger of the first drop-out rotates about a horizontal direction around the first fixing member.
4. The structure of claim 1 , wherein
the at least one chain stay includes left and right chain stays spaced from each other, and
the first fixing member and the first drop-out are coupled to only one of the left and right chain stays.
5. The structure of claim 4 , including a second drop-out fixed to another one of the left and right chain stays and having an axle slit different from the axle slit.
6. The structure of claim 1 , wherein
the at least one chain stay includes left and right chain stays spaced from each other, and
the first fixing member and the first drop-out are coupled to both of the left and right chain stays via a hub.
7. A drop-out structure for wheel alignment, the drop-out structure comprising:
a first drop-out coupled to a first fixing member fixed to a rear end portion of at least one chain stay and being configured for rotating around a first hinge pin; and
a second drop-out coupled to the first drop-out, being configured for rotating around a second hinge pin, and having an axle slit formed in a predetermined direction.
8. The structure of claim 7 , wherein the first fixing member and the first drop-out are hinged by the first hinge pin wherein the first drop-out rotates about a vertical axis around the first fixing member.
9. The structure of claim 7 , wherein the second drop-out and the first drop-out are hinged by the second hinge pin wherein the second drop-out rotates about a horizontal axis around the first drop-out.
10. The structure of claim 7 , wherein
the at least one chain stay includes left and right chain stays,
the left and right chain stays are spaced from each other, and
the first fixing member and the first and second drop-outs are coupled to only one of the left and right chain stays.
11. The structure of claim 10 , including a second fixing member fixed to another one of the left and right chain stays and having an axle slit different from the axle slit.
12. The structure of claim 7 , wherein
the at least one chain stay includes left and right chain stays,
the left and right chain stays are spaced from each other, and
the first fixing member and the first and second drop-outs are coupled to both of the left and right chain stays via a hub.
