Abstract:
1. A bicycle brake assembly, comprising: a first brake arm having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a central portion between said end portions thereof; a second brake arm having a first end portion, a second end portion, and a central portion between said end portions thereof; a plurality of axles, wherein the first brake arm is pivotably mounted at the central portion thereof on a first one of said axles and wherein the second brake arm is pivotably mounted at the central portion thereof on a second one of said axles; brake arm displacement means having a first force transmitting member thereof connected to the first end portion of the first brake arm and a second force transmitting member thereof connected to the first end portion of the second brake arm, wherein a first actuation mode of said brake arm displacement means causes each one of said brake arms to pivot with respect to a respective one of the axles on which each one of the brake arms is pivotably mounted such that a distance between the first end portion of said brake arms increases and wherein a second actuation mode of said brake arm displacement means causes said brake arms to pivot with respect to a respective one of the axles on which each one of the brake arms is pivotably mounted such that a distance between the first end portion of said brake arms decreases; and a movement control linkage member comprising a first end portion and a second end portion, the second end portion coupled to the first one of said force transmitting members of the brake arm displacement means and the first end portion coupled to the second one of said axles for controlling movement of said brake arms relative to each other for a given displacement of the brake arm displacement means.
