Abstract
A folding hub system is provided. The folding hub includes a pinion implementing a positive profile shift to increase the strength and torque transmission of the pinion in a rack and pinion system. In addition, the foldable hub incorporates a steel rear leg plate having an integrated hard stop mechanism to prevent over rotation of the foldable components of the foldable hub, while increasing the strength and overall durability of the foldable hub in a simplified manner. Moreover, the foldable hub includes an unlock plate and tapered lock pin system, such that when the unlock plate is actuated, a cam path of the unlock plate causes the tapered lock pin to transition from a locked state to an unlocked state where the foldable hub may be transitioned from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration.
