Description
BICYCLE CRANK ARM EXTENDER
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Achieving optimum performance on a bicycle depends significantly on properly fitting the bicycle to the cyclist. Naturally, the position of the cyclist relative to the handle bars and pedals is important to extracting maximum output with minimized discomfort.
Additionally, the length of the pedalling stroke, as measured from apex to nadir, is crucial to balancing the cyclist's power with endurance. For example, some cyclists prefer a longer pedalling stroke for cycling up hills and prefer shorter ones for flat rides. The length of the pedalling stroke depends on the length of the crank arm; longer crank arms yield longer pedalling strokes. The stroke should be the same for each leg, absent physical necessity, to avoid erratic performance and discomfort.
Cyclists have at their disposal a wide range of one-piece crank arms having different sizes which may be interchanged. However, changing crank arms typically necessitates transferring the sprockets from the undesired crank arm to the desired crank arm and re-tuning the front derailleur, at a minimum. This is inconvenient.
Cyclists also have at their disposal a wide range of multiple-piece, crank arm extenders. Some are infinitely indexable, rendering them difficult to provide uniform pedalling strokes for each foot.
Other crank arm extenders may be finitely indexable.
However, typically these include complex mechanisms that add weight and failure modes to the bicycle.
Still others simply do not lend themselves to universal adaptation to all bicycle crank arms. A
need exists for simple, finitely indexable bicycle crank arm extender that is readily, universally and securably installable on a bicycle crank arm.
Several types of bicycle crank arm extenders are described in the patent literature. Unfortunately, as reviewed above, the apparatuses described provide complex mechanisms that add weight to a bicycle and/or do not readily adapt to all bicycle crank arms. For example, United States Patent No. 625,986, issued May 30, 1899, to Frederick G. Pennock, describes an adjustable ,crank for velocipedes. The apparatus includes a square-shaped sleeve mounted on a crank shaft. The invention includes a crank with a shank portion and a tapered portion. A pedal mounts at the end of the tapered portion. A longitudinal, threaded bore is disposed at the end of the shank portion. The shank portion further has a square-shaped cross section that is slidingly received in the sleeve. A
shoulder is disposed at the transition point between the tapered and shank portions. A leaf spring lays against one of the flat sides of the shank, extending therebeyond, and abuts the shoulder. The crank is slidingly adjusted within the sleeve and fixed therein by tightening a threaded fastener in the threaded bore against the free end of the spring. The spring is urged to bend and fractionally engage the sleeve. The extender is infinitely indexable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED E~DIMENT
Referring to Figure 1, the invention includes an elongated member 10 having an inner end 12 and an outer end 14. The invention is shown being constructed from steel. However, the invention may be constructed from any rugged metal or even plastic material.
The elongated member 10 has a plurality of transverse, threaded throughbores 16. The throughbores 16a located closest to the outer end 14 should be configured to threadingly receive a conventional pedal spindle 18. The remaining throughbores 16b may assume a configuration variant from the throughbore 16a. For manufacturing ease, the throughbores 16a and 16b may have similar configurations.
The elongated member 10 is shown having two transverse grooves 20 and 22 proximate to the inner end 12. The invention is not limited to providing only two grooves in the elongated member 10. The grooves 20 and 22 are purposed at deterring a U-bolt 24, discussed infra, from sliding along the elongated member 10. Rather than grooves 20 and 22, the elongated member 10 instead may include flanges (not shown) or other equivalent means for maintaining the U-bolt 24. Two or more grooves are provided to accept the U-bolt 24 at a location dictated by the configuration of the crank arm 26 of the bicycle (not shown) on which the invention is to be installed.
Longer crank arms would permit the U-bolt 24 to be installed more proximate to the inner end 12, providing a more stable mounting convention. Shorter crank arms require the U-bolt 24 to be received in a groove closer to the outer end 14.
The inner~end 12 of the elongated member 10 mounts on a crank arm 26 of a bicycle (not shown) with two fastening means. The first fastening means, as mentioned above, includes a U-bolt 24 received in one of the grooves 20 or 22. The U-bolt 24 includes legs 28, each having threaded segments 30. A plate 32 has a pair of throughbores 34 in registration with the legs 28 of the U-bolt 24. The U-bolt 24 receives the elongated member 10 the crank arm 26. A nut 36 is threadingly received on the threaded segments 30 on each leg 28. The nuts 36 compel the plate 32 against the crank arm 26. The U-bolt 24 and plate 32 cooperatively clamp the elongated member 10 and crank arm 26 together securely.
The second fastening means includes a threaded bolt 38 which is received in the distally-disposed threaded throughbore 40 of the crank arm 26. The bolt 38 engages with one of the threaded throughbores 16b of the elongated member 10. The user may select from any 218~2~1 of the throughbores 16b according to the type of riding the user engages. A significant advantage of having distinct throughbores 16b, rather than a slat as shown in the prior art, is that the user is assured that the stroke defined by the invention for one leg is substantially identical with the stroke for the other leg. The bolt 38 urges the elongated member against the crank arm 26. The bolt 38 and U-bolt 24 discourage the elongated member 10 from rotating relative to the crank arm 26.
The pedal 44 mounts on the outer end 14 of the elongated member 10. The pedal spindle 18 is threadingly received in the throughbore 16a of the elongated member 10.
The present invention is not intended to be limited to the sole embodiment described above, but to encompass any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
Clearly, the above demonstrates a need for a simple, finitely indexable bicycle crank arm extender that is readily, universally and securably installable on a bicycle crank arm.
None of the above references, taken alone or in combination, are seen as teaching or suggesting the presently claimed bicycle crank arm extender.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED E~DIMENT
Referring to Figure 1, the invention includes an elongated member 10 having an inner end 12 and an outer end 14. The invention is shown being constructed from steel. However, the invention may be constructed from any rugged metal or even plastic material.
The elongated member 10 has a plurality of transverse, threaded throughbores 16. The throughbores 16a located closest to the outer end 14 should be configured to threadingly receive a conventional pedal spindle 18. The remaining throughbores 16b may assume a configuration variant from the throughbore 16a. For manufacturing ease, the throughbores 16a and 16b may have similar configurations.
The elongated member 10 is shown having two transverse grooves 20 and 22 proximate to the inner end 12. The invention is not limited to providing only two grooves in the elongated member 10. The grooves 20 and 22 are purposed at deterring a U-bolt 24, discussed infra, from sliding along the elongated member 10. Rather than grooves 20 and 22, the elongated member 10 instead may include flanges (not shown) or other equivalent means for maintaining the U-bolt 24. Two or more grooves are provided to accept the U-bolt 24 at a location dictated by the configuration of the crank arm 26 of the bicycle (not shown) on which the invention is to be installed.
Longer crank arms would permit the U-bolt 24 to be installed more proximate to the inner end 12, providing a more stable mounting convention. Shorter crank arms require the U-bolt 24 to be received in a groove closer to the outer end 14.
The inner~end 12 of the elongated member 10 mounts on a crank arm 26 of a bicycle (not shown) with two fastening means. The first fastening means, as mentioned above, includes a U-bolt 24 received in one of the grooves 20 or 22. The U-bolt 24 includes legs 28, each having threaded segments 30. A plate 32 has a pair of throughbores 34 in registration with the legs 28 of the U-bolt 24. The U-bolt 24 receives the elongated member 10 the crank arm 26. A nut 36 is threadingly received on the threaded segments 30 on each leg 28. The nuts 36 compel the plate 32 against the crank arm 26. The U-bolt 24 and plate 32 cooperatively clamp the elongated member 10 and crank arm 26 together securely.
The second fastening means includes a threaded bolt 38 which is received in the distally-disposed threaded throughbore 40 of the crank arm 26. The bolt 38 engages with one of the threaded throughbores 16b of the elongated member 10. The user may select from any 218~2~1 of the throughbores 16b according to the type of riding the user engages. A significant advantage of having distinct throughbores 16b, rather than a slat as shown in the prior art, is that the user is assured that the stroke defined by the invention for one leg is substantially identical with the stroke for the other leg. The bolt 38 urges the elongated member against the crank arm 26. The bolt 38 and U-bolt 24 discourage the elongated member 10 from rotating relative to the crank arm 26.
The pedal 44 mounts on the outer end 14 of the elongated member 10. The pedal spindle 18 is threadingly received in the throughbore 16a of the elongated member 10.
The present invention is not intended to be limited to the sole embodiment described above, but to encompass any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
