US Patent 11401005 Cogset with increasing jump

A cogset having a plurality of axially adjacent sprockets between a first sprocket with a minimum primitive circumference and a last sprocket with a maximum primitive circumference and the primitive circumferences are expressed as an integer dimensionless value equal to the ratio between the primitive circumference itself and a fixed length equal to a chain pitch. The difference in value between the primitive circumference of the sprocket next to a predetermined sprocket and the primitive circumference of the predetermined sprocket is defined as the jump associated with the predetermined sprocket. A first sprocket subset comprises the first sprocket and at least the next three sprockets and a second sprocket subset comprises at least three adjacent sprockets that do not include the first sprocket. The jump associated with all of the sprockets of the first subset is equal to 1, whereas the jump associated with the sprockets of the second subset increases by 1 from one sprocket to the next.
