The phase slot and the support are configured and configured such that a spacer provided on the crankshaft can contact the mount. Preferably, the recess and/or the support extend around the mounting opening. In a preferred embodiment, the bicycle crank arm includes a crank base extending between the mounting portion and the foot pedal attachment portion. The crank base has a hollow space therein such that the crank base is provided as a hollow profile. In the preferred embodiment, the mounting portion is a substantially circular through 孑L* 〇6 bicycle crank that can be formed and modified in the manner described above, and the features and features can be combined with each other in any manner. The above-mentioned implementations, such as the detailed description, reveal that the present invention, which is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, will become the same as the other (4), features and advantages of the present invention: Obvious. [Embodiment] The selected embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The following description of the embodiments of the present invention, which is obvious to those skilled in the art, is provided for illustration only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the claims and their equivalents. This creation. One of the bicycles, the crank assembly, basically comprises a right crank arm, a left crank arm, a crank shaft, one or more false sprocket wheels, and a pair of pedals. Typically the right crank arm has one or more sprocket coupled to the right crank arm. The right crank arm, the crank axle, the one or more sprockets, and the pair of foot pedals are preferably conventional components well known in the art. Therefore, this component will not be described in detail herein. Referring first to Figure 1, a left crank arm 10 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The crank arm 1A includes a first free end 10, (inner free end) and a second free end (outer free end). The crank arm 10 includes a mounting portion 11, a pedal attachment portion 30, and a crank base 20. The mounting portion 11 is disposed on the first free end 10' and the foot pedal attachment portion 30 is disposed on the second free end 10". The crank base 20 extends between the first free end 1〇 and the second free end 10". The dressing portion 11 includes a mounting opening 12 which preferably has a substantially circular shape. The mounting portion U (particularly the mounting opening 12) is configured and configured to be non-rotatably slidably coupled to the crankshaft 50 (see Figure 8) in a desired fit. One of the inner circumferential faces of the mounting opening u has a wrong tooth notch. The serrated notches serve to non-rotatably engage the mating serration notches provided on one of the outer circumferential faces of the crank shaft 50. Preferably, the footboard attachment portion 30 includes an opening threaded to securely couple the shaft of the foot pedal (not shown) to the footboard attachment portion 3'' in a conventional manner. The crank arm 10 further includes at least one notch 13 provided on the first free end 10'. The at least one recess is provided in an outer surface that extends circumferentially relative to the mounting opening 12. In the embodiment shown in Figure i, two notches 13 are provided. The two recesses 13 are provided adjacent to the mounting opening 12, i.e., adjacent the mounting opening 12. These notches. Preferably, the system is disposed on the opposite side of the mounting opening 12. Preferably, the notches 13 are symmetrically aligned with respect to one of the longitudinal axes A of the crank arms 1 (see line A of Figure i) and/or symmetrically with respect to the center of the crank opening 12. More preferably, the notches 13 extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the crank arm 1〇. Therefore, when the crank arm 1 is removed from the crankshaft 50, only a longitudinal force is generated in the direction B of Fig. 8, which will provide a simple and smooth removal. Alternatively, a plurality of separate recesses may be provided at least partially around the mounting portion 11 to specifically surround the mounting opening 12. Alternatively, a single recess extending around the mounting portion 11 may be provided, particularly around the mounting opening 12. The two recesses 13 shown in Figure 1 are configured and arranged to engage a conventional moon wheel removal tool (see Figure 8) to provide a bicycle crank arm i on the mounting opening of the bicycle crank arm - Threaded part, interface - special crank removal tool. Therefore, the mounting opening: a non-threaded mounting opening. In other words, the inner surface of the mounting opening σ12 does not have the function of engaging the thread of the special crank removing tool for removing the bicycle crank (four). An existing pulley removal tool (see Fig. 8) can be used as a tool for removing the crank arm 10 from the crankshaft 5〇. Therefore, the bicycle crank arm 1 has a simpler construction and a more compact mounting portion U than the conventional bicycle crank arm. Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the crank arm 1 图 shown in Figure 1 taken along line A &&; of Figure 4; 2 illustrates first and second free ends 1〇, 1〇,, mounting portion U, mounting opening 12, a groove 14 preferably provided on the first free end 1〇, crank base 20 And the pedal attachment portion 3〇. The groove 14 is provided on the mounting portion 11. In addition, a seat 15 (see Fig. 7) is provided on the mounting portion u. The recess 14 and the support 15 are configured and arranged such that a spacer 51 (see FIG. 8) can contact the mount 15. In a preferred embodiment, the groove bucket and the support 15 extend substantially circularly about the mounting opening 12. The spacer 51 is provided on the crank shaft 50. Further, Fig. 2 shows a notch 21. The recess 21 is provided in the crank base 20 and extends in the longitudinal direction a of the crank arm 1〇. The recess 21 provides a hollow space within the crank base 20. Preferably, the hollow space is a closed hollow space as shown in Figures 5 and 6. In other words, the crank base 20 substantially corresponds to a rectangular hollow profile ("Rechteck-Hohlprofil"). In other words, the crank base 20 is formed in a hollow contour shape M384153, in particular a rectangular hollow contour shape. Therefore, the weight of the crank arm = can be minimized compared to a crank arm having a solid contour. However, the crank arm 10 is still strong and hard. Of course, the notch 21 can be used if needed or desired. Figure 3 is a side view of the bicycle crank arm 10 shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 shows the b and second free ends 10, 10, the mounting portion η, the recesses 13, the groove 丨 4, the crank base 20 and the footrest attachment portion 30. 4 is a front elevational view of one of the bicycle crank arms 10 shown in FIG.

A conventional component (and thus such a member: not described in detail herein), except for the bicycle crank arm and the spacer 5 1 〇 FIG. 9 is an enlarged perspective view of the crank arm 1 ,, particularly showing a concave The mouth 13 is shown in detail in FIG. 9. The recess 13 includes a substantially flat surface extending radially with respect to the mounting opening 12, in particular the surface forming an acute angle with respect to the central axis of the women's opening 12. The tool for removing the self-propelled crank arm 10 is not easily slidable when a force is applied to the mounting portion u, the recess 13 having an opening and a bottom. Preferably, the opening of the recess φ 13 , more particularly all corners of the recess 13 have rounded corners and the bottom of the recess 13 is a substantially flat surface, in particular substantially tangent to the mounting opening. extend. As mentioned previously, the mounting portion U, and in particular the mounting opening 12, is press fit onto the crank axle 50. To remove the crank arm 10 from the crank axle 5, the conventional pulley removal tool 60 can be used in place of a dedicated crank removal tool. As shown in Fig. 8, the pulley removing tool 6A includes two arms 61 and a shaft 63 having an external thread, each of which has an inwardly projecting projection 62. The recesses 13 are configured and arranged to engage the projections 62. One of the axial ends 64 of the shaft 63 is configured and configured to engage an axial end 54 of the crankshaft 50. The "and" contact at the axial ends acts as a seat when the crank arm 1 is removed from the crankshaft 50. Rotating the handle 64 causes the two arms 61 to move into the direction of Figure 8 and This removes the crank arm 10 from the crankshaft 50. As can be seen from Figure 8, a longitudinal force occurs only in the direction B of Figure 8 when the crank arm 10 is removed from the crankshaft 5〇•10·M384153 The force will provide a simple and smooth removal.
