    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_release_skewer

    A quick release skewer is a mechanism for attaching a wheel to a bicycle. It consists of a rod threaded on one end and with a lever operated cam assembly on the other. The rod is inserted into the hollow axle of the wheel, a special nut is threaded on, and the lever is closed to tighten the cam and secure the wheel to the fork.

  3. Bicycle brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_brake

    Most bicycle brake systems consist of three main components: a mechanism for the rider to apply the brakes, such as brake levers or pedals; a mechanism for transmitting that signal, such as Bowden cables, hydraulic hoses, rods, or the bicycle chain; and the brake mechanism itself, a caliper or drum, to press two or more surfaces together in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shifter_(bicycle_part)

    A bicycle shifter or gear control or gear levers is a component used to control the gearing mechanisms and select the desired gear ratio. Typically, they operate either a derailleur mechanism or an internal hub gear mechanism. In either case, the control is operated by moving a cable that connects the shifter to the gear mechanism.

  5. Six-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-bar_linkage

    In mechanics, a six-bar linkage is a mechanism with one degree of freedom that is constructed from six links and seven joints. [1] An example is the Klann linkage used to drive the legs of a walking machine. In general, each joint of a linkage connects two links, and a binary link supports two joints.

  6. Ratchet (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratchet_(device)

    The pawl bears against the surface at an angle so that any backward motion will cause the pawl to jam against the surface and thus prevent any further backward motion. Since the backward travel distance is primarily a function of the compressibility of the high friction surface, this mechanism can result in significantly reduced backlash.

  7. Raleigh Chopper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raleigh_Chopper

    The shifter lever is held between "plate packs" either side of the lever acting to space the lever into the centre. One set of these plate packs on one side of the shifter lever house the indexing plate, bearing and spring which gives the shifter mechanism the ability to correctly set the cable position for each gear of the SRF3 rear hub.

  8. Walker (mobility) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walker_(mobility)

    Traditionally, a walker is picked up and placed a short distance ahead of the user. The user then walks to it and repeats the process. With the use of wheels and glides, the user may push the walker ahead as opposed to picking it up. This makes for easier use of the walker, as it does not require the user to use their arms to lift the walker.

  9. Jack (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_(device)

    The farm jack also known as a railroad jack, high lift jack, handyman jack, trail jack or kanga-jack was invented in 1905. It consists of a steel beam with a series of equally spaced holes along its length, and a hand-operated mechanism which can be moved from one end of the beam to the other through the use of a pair of climbing pins.
