Abstract

The invention describes a pedal crank drive, especially for bicycles, with two pedal cranks 5 and 6 which are fixedly mounted at an angle of 180 degrees to each other on a crankshaft 7 and with a chainring 8 which is radially floatingly mounted on the crankshaft 7. The action of a strong pedalling force will displace the chainring 8 outwardly, out of its position centrally to the crankshaft 7, against spring forces. <IMAGE>

   PATENT CLAIM:
Pedal crank drive, in particular for bicycles, with two pedal cranks fixedly mounted on a pedal crankshaft, including an angle of 1800 against each other, and a chain wheel floating on the pedal crankshaft in a radial direction, the chain wheel countering spring forces from its position due to strong pedaling force centrally shifted outwards to the pedal cable shaft, characterized in that two steering levers (1,2) at
No pedal force or a weak pedal force extend parallel to the two pedal cranks (5, 6) and two springs (3, 4), the steering levers (1, 2) and the springs (3, 4) on the one hand with the pedal crank shaft (7) and on the other hand are articulated to the sprocket (8).

Claims (3)

<Desc/Clms Page number 1>  <Desc / Clms Page number 1>   Die Erfindung betrifft einen Tretkurbelantrieb, insbesondere für Fahrräder, wie es im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches beschrieben ist.  The invention relates to a pedal crank drive, in particular for bicycles, as described in the preamble of the claim. Es sind bereits verschiedene Fahrräder bekannt, bei denen die Kraftübertragung durch Verschieben der Kettenräder verbessert wird.  Various bicycles are already known in which the power transmission is improved by moving the chain wheels. Die FR 1078472 A zeigt die Lagerung des Kettenrades beim Hinterrad. Das Kettenrad des Tretkurbelantriebs GB 439540 A ist mittels Hebeln zwangsgeführt. Seine Exzentrizität wird hierdurch mittels eines Gewindes fix eingestellt. Gemäss der DE 927368 C bewegt sich das Kettenrad entgegen der Kraft von Federn infolge der Kraft der Kette von seiner Zentrallage weg.  FR 1078472 A shows the bearing of the chain wheel on the rear wheel. The chain wheel of the GB 439540 A pedal crank drive is positively guided by levers. Hereby, its eccentricity is fixed by means of a thread. According to DE 927368 C, the sprocket moves away from its central position against the force of springs as a result of the force of the chain. Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nunmehr die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Tretkurbelantrieb, insbesondere für Fahrräder zu schaffen, mit dem eine gleichmässige Kraftübertragung durch drehmomentabhängige Kettenradverschiebung an der Tretkurbel ermöglicht wird.  The present invention is based on the object of creating a pedal crank drive, in particular for bicycles, with which a uniform power transmission is made possible by torque-dependent sprocket displacement on the pedal crank. Diese Aufgabe der Erfindung wird durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs wiedergegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Ein Vorteil dieser drehmomentabhängigen Kettenradverschiebung ist, dass bei gleichmässiger Kraftübertragung der Wirkungsgrad vom Einsatz der Muskelkraft des Radfahrers wesentlich erhöht werden kann.  This object of the invention is achieved by the features reproduced in the characterizing part of the patent claim. One advantage of this torque-dependent sprocket shift is that with even power transmission, the efficiency of using the cyclist's muscle power can be increased significantly. Die Fig. 1 bis 3 zeigen einen Tretkurbelantrieb In verschiedenen Positionen.  1 to 3 show a pedal crank drive in different positions. Die Wirkungsgraderhöhung wird dadurch erreicht, dass bei guter Kraftübertragungsstellung einer Tretkurbel 5 oder 6 das Kettenrad 8, das mit Hebeln 1 und 2 an der Tretkurbelwelle 7 drehbeweglich befestigt ist und durch die Federn 3 und 4 kettenzugabhängig und abhängig von der Lage der Hebeln 1 und 2 zum Kettenzug, nach aussen gedrückt wird. Diese Stellung wird aus Zeichnung 1 ersichtlich. Somit ist in dieser Phase, in der das Kettenrad 7 nach aussen gedrückt wird und gute Kraftübertragungsmöglichkeit vom Radfahrer auf die Kurbel 5 oder 6 besteht, eine wesentliche Drehmomenterhöhung zu erkennen Weiters ist eine hohe Gleichmässigkeit der Kraftübertragung und somit ein harmonischer Gleichlauf des Rades gegeben.  The increase in efficiency is achieved in that with a good power transmission position of a pedal crank 5 or 6, the chain wheel 8, which is rotatably fastened to the pedal crank shaft 7 with levers 1 and 2, and by the springs 3 and 4 as a function of the chain pull and depending on the position of the levers 1 and 2 to the chain hoist, is pushed outwards. This position can be seen from drawing 1. Thus, in this phase, in which the chain wheel 7 is pressed outwards and there is good power transmission possibility from the cyclist to the crank 5 or 6, a substantial increase in torque can be seen Furthermore, there is a high level of uniformity of the power transmission and thus a harmonious synchronization of the wheel. Darüber hinaus werden die Teile des Antriebssystems zwischen Tretkurbel und Hinterrad geschont.  In addition, the parts of the drive system between the crank and the rear wheel are protected. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil besteht im Dämpfungseffekt der Federn 3 und 4, wodurch die Muskeln, Sehnen und Gelenke, des Benutzers von schlagartigen und prellenden Beanspruchungen geschont werden.  A major advantage is the damping effect of the springs 3 and 4, whereby the muscles, tendons and joints of the user are protected from sudden and bouncing stresses. Beim nach unten Weitertreten der Kurbel 5 oder 6 wirkt die Zugkraft der Kette zunehmend, auf die in Zugrichtung stehenden Hebel 1 oder 2. Das Kettenrad 8 wird durch die Feder 3 oder 4 wieder in die Mitte gedrückt, wodurch die Überwindung des Totpunktes der Kurbel durch Unterstützung der sich streckenden Feder und das nunmehr innenstehende Kettenrad 8 mit sehr geringem Kraftaufwand erfolgen kann (ersichtlich aus Fig. When the crank 5 or 6 moves downward, the tensile force of the chain acts increasingly on the levers 1 or 2 in the direction of pull. The chain wheel 8 is pressed back into the middle by the spring 3 or 4, thereby overcoming the dead center of the crank Support of the stretching spring and the now internal sprocket 8 can be done with very little effort (can be seen from Fig. 2.). 2.). Um die Kraftübertragungsveränderung bei schnellem, gleichmässigem Tretrhythmus zu vermei- den - die durch den ovalen Lauf des Kettenrades zu aufschaukeinder Rhythmusstörung führen könnte-wird bei geringer Belastung das Kettenrad 8 durch die Federn 3 und 4, die auf die Kraft des Fahrers abgestimmt werden können, zentrisch gehalten (aus Fig. In order to avoid the change in power transmission with a fast, even pedaling rhythm - which could lead to an abnormal rhythm disturbance due to the oval running of the sprocket - the sprocket 8 is loaded by the springs 3 and 4 at low load, which can be adjusted to the driver's strength, held centrally (from Fig. 3 ersichtlich). **WARNUNG** Ende CLMS Feld Kannt Anfang DESC uberlappen**. 3 can be seen). ** WARNING ** End of CLMS field knows overlap beginning of DESC **.
