Debris Shedding Flanged Sprocket

Abstract: Side flanged sprockets for toothed belt systems, such as mobility applications (such as bicycles, electric bicycles or E-bikes, powered wheelchairs, scooters, etc.), the sprockets having bi-directional debris-shedding elements that direct debris (e.g., dirt, dust, water, etc.) laterally out from the sprocket. The sprockets have at least one side flange, which is discontinuous along its length. For some sprockets having a flange on each side, the flanges alternate from one side to the other; these alternating-side flanges may be in a symmetrical arrangement or asymmetrical arrangement.
