Abstract:
1. A cycle brake cooling article, securable at, and offset from, an annular brake surface upon a wheel of a cycle, said cycle including a wheel fork, the article comprising: a rigid air focusing surface proportioned in substantially vertical dimension to an annular dimension of said brake surface when said rigid surface is secured to said wheel fork, said rigid surface in combination with said annular brake surface, defining an air deflection and concentration path, said rigid surface of said article also having a geometry defining an intake path, a deflection path and a narrowed outlet channel, said air focusing surface proportioned to reduce air volume relative to said intake, directing air flow to said outlet channel and against an entire annular dimension of said brake surface, in which said air focusing surface includes a distal portion having tabs for securing said air focusing surface to said wheel fork of said cycle, and a bendable first line of dependency between said intake surface and said air focusing surface comprising means for bendable adjustment therebetween.
