CATAPULT SLINGSHOT 2 STROKE DOUBLE DOUBLE REVERSED BOOMERANG SLAP ARM DRIVE SPROCKET THRUSTERS

Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include a drive structure. The drive structure includes a first sprocket and a second sprocket. Each of the first and second sprocket has a shape with two points and four sections of teeth where two sections of teeth are inline and two sections are curved. Attached to the first sprocket are slap crank arms, which contains a slap crank arm lever to move and cause an impact force when the first sprocket is rotated. A drive chain travels in a loop between the first sprocket and second sprocket. Embodiments of the drive structure include other elements of a bicycle frame and rear derailleur structure.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The background of the invention is described in the following headings of a description, the field of the invention, and the description of the prior art.


DESCRIPTION

The disclosure describes embodiments of a drive structure; a drive structure and bicycle frame; and embodiments of a drive structure with rear derailer and bicycle frame.


Part of the embodiments of the drive structure are the embodiments of a sprocket with a non-circular shape when viewing the large flat front and rear face, which are mirror images of each other. Both the front and rear face of the sprocket can be referred to as the faces of the sprocket. The embodiments have two points as part of the shape of the face of the sprocket. The sprocket has teeth around the outer edge. The teeth can be described as four sections. The teeth in the first section are inline. The teeth in the second section are in a curved shape. The teeth in the third section are inline. The teeth in the fourth section are in a curved shape. Each section of teeth has a first end and a second end. The sections of teeth are arranged where the second end of the first section of teeth connects to the first end of the second section of teeth, the second end of the second section of teeth connects to the first end of the third section of teeth, the second end of the third section of teeth connects to the first end of the fourth section of teeth, the second end of the fourth section of teeth connects to the first end of the first section of teeth. The connection of the second end of the first section of teeth to the first end of the second section of teeth forms a first point in the shape of the face of the sprocket. The connection of the second end of the third section of teeth to the first end of the fourth section of teeth forms a second point in the shape of the face of the sprocket.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION

A main component of the invention relates to drive sprockets. In general a drive sprocket takes the initial power source and puts that force into another part of the machine. In a typical bicycle the pedals are attached to crank arms. The crank arms are attached to the drive sprocket. A user of the bicycle puts one foot on a pedal and another foot on the other pedal. The user then pedals to put force on the crank arms and then turns the drive sprocket. The drive sprocket turns the bicycle chain. The drive sprocket has teeth around the outer edge which fit into spaces in a bicycle chain. The spaces are formed between short bars which are perpendicular to the length of the bicycle chain. The teeth of the sprocket push on the short bars of the bicycle chain. The bicycle chain engages with another sprocket which is attached to the rear wheel of the bicycle. The turning bicycle chain turns the sprocket attached to the rear wheel and therefore turns the rear wheel of the bicycle which propels the bicycle forward. The source of power is the user's legs, which turns the pedals which propels the bicycle.


Drive sprockets are a component of other machines. The other machines for example are motorcycles which have a drive sprocket which is turned by an engine. Also an electric powered bicycle has a drive sprocket which is turned by a motor. The drive sprocket turns a chain which turns another sprocket and then a wheel of the machine to propel the machine.


DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Drive sprockets are a common component of machines which move a chain which is part of the mechanical components to allow that movement.


For bicycles, drive sprockets are commonly circular. There are other shaped bicycle drive sprockets such as an oval and diamond shape. There are bicycle drive sprockets which have a general circular form but are not circular.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Described is an embodiment of a drive structure 30. A drive structure 30 includes a first sprocket 1; second sprocket 70; drive chain 20; spindle 700; first slap crank arm 290; and second slap crank arm 291.


Also described is an embodiment of a drive structure with rear derailer and bicycle frame 40. An embodiment of the drive structure with rear derailer and bicycle frame 40 includes a drive structure 30 of a first sprocket 1, second sprocket 70, drive chain 20, spindle 700, first slap crank arm 290, and second slap crank arm 291; and a bicycle frame 600; and rear derailleur structure 500.


Also described is an embodiment of a drive structure with rear derailer 39, which contains: a drive structure 30 of a first sprocket 1, second sprocket 70, drive chain 20, spindle 700, first slap crank arm 290, and second slap crank arm 291; and rear derailleur structure 500.


Also described is an embodiment of a drive structure and bicycle frame 41, which contains: a drive structure 30 of a first sprocket 1, second sprocket 70, drive chain 20, spindle 700, first slap crank arm 290, and second slap crank arm 291, and a bicycle frame 600.


Embodiments of the first sprocket 1 and second sprocket 70 can be described with similar parts, which are used to describe each of the sprockets.


The first and second sprocket are unique in the quality of the two points on the sprocket outer edge 6, and the shape of each sprocket.


An embodiment of the first sprocket 1 and second sprocket 70 has: a sprocket front face 2; a sprocket rear face 3; and a sprocket outer edge 6.


For each sprocket, the sprocket front face 2 and the sprocket rear face 3 each has a shape. The shape of the sprocket front face 2 and the sprocket rear face 3 is the same, looking through the sprocket. If an impression of the shape was taken on both sides, the shape would be a mirror image of each other for the front face 2 and the rear face 3. The sprocket is generally flat and the shape can be described when viewing the flat sides of the sprocket, or the sprocket front face 2 and the sprocket rear face 3. When describing the shape of the first sprocket 1 and second sprocket 70 the points are in the general shape of the flat sides. For ease the shape of the sprocket and sections of teeth can also be defined by looking at the front face of each sprocket.


Around the first sprocket 1 and second sprocket 70 is an outer edge 6. Between each tooth is a valley 5. Each valley has a bottom of a valley 201. A tooth 4, or the tooth boundary, is defined from the bottom of the valley 201 on one side of the tooth 4 to the bottom of the valley 201 on the other side of the tooth 4. Each tooth 4 has a tooth tip 199. The tooth tip 199 is the part of the tooth 4 the farthest way from the sprocket. A valley 5 is defined as the area from one tooth tip 199 to the next adjacent tooth tip 199.
