Abstract: |
A hub for a bicycle or the like consists of two coaxial sleeve members secured together against relative axial and rotational movement. Each sleeve has an outwardly extending spoke flange disposed transversely of the hub axis. One sleeve member is cylindrically shaped and has an axial length approximately the same as the hub. The other sleeve member is cup-shaped and fits over one end of the cylindrical-shaped sleeve member. The two sleeve members are deep-drawn parts. The sleeve members can be secured together in various ways such as mechanical interconnection, welding or by an adhesive material.

What is claimed is:
1. Hub for a bicycle or the like comprising an axially extending hub sleeve body for receiving components used for at least the driving operation, said sleeve body having a first end and a second end spaced apart in the axial direction thereof and, comprising two coaxially arranged and connected sleeve members formed as deep-drawn components and consisting of a first sleeve member and a second sleeve member with each said first and second sleeve member being axially extending and having a first end and a second end, wherein the improvement comprises said first sleeve member having the shape of a cylinder extending approximately for the full axial length of said hub sleeve body from the first end to the second end thereof with the first end of said first sleeve member forming the first end of said hub sleeve body and the second end of said first sleeve member forming in part the second end of said hub sleeve body and being bent radially inwardly transversely of the axial direction of said hub sleeve body, a spoke flange formed on and extending laterally outwardly from said first sleeve member, said second sleeve member being formed cup-shaped at the second end thereof and with the first end thereof located between the first and second ends of said first sleeve member, at least an axially extending portion at the second end of said first sleeve member being fitted into said second sleeve member, the cup-shaped second end of said second sleeve member is bent radially inwardly in overlapping and surface contact with the radially inwardly bent second end of said first sleeve member and said second sleeve member having a spoke flange formed on and extending laterally outwardly therefrom and located between and spaced from the first end and second end of said hub sleeve body.
