  UN SYSTEME DE MULTIPLICATION POUR VELO Jusqu'à présent, la roue de chaîne, commandée par les pédalespour actionner la roue d'arrière du vélo, était ronde. 



   L'objet de la présente invention est de lui donner une autre forme, irrégulière, se rapprochant de l'ovale, comme on le   voit,   aux dessins ci-joints dans lesquels la fig. 1 est une vue de face de cette roue, la fig. 2 est une vue schéma- tique partielle d'un vélo et les fig. 3 et 4 représentent le dispositif tendeur de la chaîne. 



   La fig. 1 montre que la roue dentée A se compose de deux périodes identiques a et a', correspondant chacune à une demi-course d'une pédale B. Il se fait ainsi que ce qui doit se proddire pour une pédale se reproduira exactement pour l'autre. 



   L'ensemble de ces deux périodes donne à la roue   A,   une forme se rapprochant d'un ovale. la combinaison de cette roue A avec la roue C qui com- 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 2> 

 mande la roue d'arrière du vélo par l'intermédiaire de la chatne D, donne le même effet que si l'on avait une multipli- cation variable à tous les moments d'un tour de pédale. 



   Cela donne à l'effort à produire par le cycliste une élasticité qui le rend beaucoup plus facile et plus léger. 



   Cette multiplication donne un résultat égal au point de vue de la distance franchie à chaque tour du pédalier à la multiplication par la roue ronde ordinaire) ayant un nombre    de dents équivalent ; vu la forme de la nouvelle roue den   tée et la place indiquée aux branches du pédalier il est certain que, au moment où le cycliste doit produire son ef- fort, c'est-à-dire au moment où l'une des pédales arrive en haut de sa course, la partie supérieure de la roue ovale étant à un niveau plus bas que la roue ordinaire, l'effort à produi re est moins long et la dépense d'énergie à fournir est moin- dre pour amener la pédale en bas de sa course - quoique, en- core une fois le résultat est le même au point de vue dévelop pement. 



   Pour pouvoir arriver à ce résultat, il est nécessaire que l'on établisse un tendeur de chaîne agissant automati- quement. 



    Ce tendeur est établi comme suit : cadre E du vélo   (fig. 2,3 & 4 est fixée une pièce fixe F, à laquelle est ar- ticulé, sur un pivot G, un levier H, formant chape pour re- cevoir la petite roue dentée I, montée sur des tourillons à billes. 



   Entre la pièce F et le levier H est intercalé un ressort à boudin J qui tire sur ce levier, de manière à forcer la roue I à être toujours en prise avec la partie interne de la chaîne.- 
Pour empêcher que dans un mouvement brusque, la roue I ne puisse sortir des chaînons, de la chaîne D, il est établi, sur la pièce fixe F, Un butoir K qui arrête la course du le- vier H.

  A MULTIPLICATION SYSTEM FOR BICYCLES Until now, the chain wheel, controlled by the pedals to actuate the rear wheel of the bicycle, was round.



   The object of the present invention is to give it another, irregular shape, approaching the oval, as can be seen from the accompanying drawings in which FIG. 1 is a front view of this wheel, FIG. 2 is a partial schematic view of a bicycle and FIGS. 3 and 4 represent the chain tensioning device.



   Fig. 1 shows that the toothed wheel A is composed of two identical periods a and a ', each corresponding to half a stroke of a pedal B. It is thus that what should happen for a pedal will happen exactly for the other.



   The whole of these two periods gives to the wheel A, a shape approaching an oval. the combination of this wheel A with the wheel C which comprises

 <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

 controls the rear wheel of the bicycle through chain D, gives the same effect as if we had a variable multiplication at all times of a pedal turn.



   This gives the effort to be produced by the cyclist an elasticity which makes it much easier and lighter.



   This multiplication gives a result equal from the point of view of the distance crossed at each revolution of the crankset to the multiplication by the ordinary round wheel) having an equivalent number of teeth; given the shape of the new toothed wheel and the position indicated on the branches of the crankset, it is certain that, at the moment when the cyclist has to make his effort, that is to say when one of the pedals arrives at the top of its travel, the upper part of the oval wheel being at a lower level than the ordinary wheel, the effort to be produced is less long and the expenditure of energy to be supplied is less to bring the pedal into position. the bottom line - though again the result is the same from a development point of view.



   To be able to achieve this result, it is necessary to establish a chain tensioner which acts automatically.



    This tensioner is established as follows: frame E of the bicycle (fig. 2, 3 & 4 is fixed a fixed part F, to which is hinged, on a pivot G, a lever H, forming a yoke to receive the small toothed wheel I, mounted on ball bearings.



   Between part F and lever H is interposed a coil spring J which pulls on this lever, so as to force the wheel I to always be in engagement with the internal part of the chain.
To prevent, in a sudden movement, the wheel I cannot come out of the links, of the chain D, it is established on the fixed part F, a stopper K which stops the travel of the lever H.


    

Claims (1)

REVENDICATION. CLAIM. 1 Dans un vélo, l'application d'une rouede chaîne, du côté des pédales, d'une forme irrégulière se rapprochant de l'ovale, de manière à produire, pendant un tour de pédale, une multiplication constamment variable, pour produire une élasticité d'effort à produire, par le cycliste, comme décrit et montré aux dessins. 1 In a bicycle, the application of a chain wheel, on the side of the pedals, of an irregular shape approximating the oval, so as to produce, during one revolution of the pedal, a constantly variable multiplication, to produce a elasticity of effort to be produced by the cyclist as described and shown in the drawings. 2 En combinaison avec la roue à chaîne de rayon varia- ble formant la le revendication, un tendeur de chaîne agis- sant automatiquement, constitué d'une petite roue dentée pressant vers l'intérieur de la chaîne, cette roue étant mon- tée sur un levier articulé sur une pièce fixe attachée au cadre du vélo, avec intercalation d'un ressort à boudin an- tagoniste de la¯poussée de la chaîne sur cette roue, avec un butoir limitant la levée du levier, le tout comme décrit et montré aux dessins. 2 In combination with the chain wheel with variable radius forming the claim, an automatically acting chain tensioner, consisting of a small toothed wheel pressing towards the inside of the chain, this wheel being mounted on a lever articulated on a fixed part attached to the frame of the bicycle, with the interposition of a coil spring counteracting the thrust of the chain on this wheel, with a stopper limiting the lifting of the lever, all as described and shown at drawings.
