Derailleur gears are a variable-ratio transmission system commonly used on bicycles, consisting of a chain, multiple sprockets of different sizes, and a mechanism to move the chain from one sprocket to another. Although referred to as gears in the bike world, these bicycle gears are technically sprockets since they drive or are driven by a chain, and are not driven by one another.
So that's what "sprocket" is.
George Jetson worked for the "Spacely Sprocket" company. His boss was Mr. Spacely. Their main competitor was "Cogswell Cogs".
In my fantasy sequel both companies get bought out by....the "Richard Gear Company".
