  "Ceinture-pédale montée sur bicyclette et permettant l'utilisa- tion intégrale de l'effort musculaire produit par les jambes". 



   Avec la ceinture-pédale qui fait +'objet du présent modèle d'utilité et est ainsi appelée parce que le ceinturon et la pé- dale constituent les deux points d'application de l'effort mus- culaire, on obtient les avantages suivants: 
1. Changement complet de la position adoptée par le cycliste sut la bicyclette, dans la montée des c8tes, vu qu'au lieu de pousser en se cramponnant avec force au guidon, il lui est pos-   sible de rouler en s'appuyant simplement sur celui-ci et même @   
 EMI1.1 
 de rouler sans le toucher, dès que la vitesse,9-,q'"e/:. 'f- fisante. 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 2> 

 



   2. Changement de la position habituelle,également comme in- diqué, par suite du fait qu'au lieu de rouler avec la   poitrine   comprimée par l'effort musuculaire des bras, le cycliste est complètement libre, ce qui permet le fonctionnement parfait et normal des poumons et évite, par conséquent, la fatigue. 



   3. Par suite de l'attitude prise par le corps du cycliste sur la bicyclette, la force appliquée avec les pieds sur les pédales sera beaucoup plus grande que dans le cas courant, étant donné que tout l'effort musculaire exercé par les jambes est utilisé intégralement. 



   DESCRIPTION : Afin de rendre plus clair le présent mémoire descriptif, on exposera les caractéristiques de la   ceinture-pé-   dale revendiquée, avec référence à la figure ci-annexée corres- pondant à une des formes de réalisation préférées, sans limiter en rien l'invention,vu que celle-ci peut varier quant aux for- mes et aux dimensions, aux matières employées et aux détails de construction, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention et en cou- par vrant/la présente demande tous les dispositifs similaires par- ticipant à l'esprit du présent modèle d'utilité. 



   La figure 1 représente un schéma de la ceinture-pédale dans son ensemble, ainsi que son montage et son fonctionnement. 



   Suivant ce schéma, ladite ceinture-pédale est formée de deux parties-: l'une que l'on pourrait appeler"mobile", qui est portée par le cycliste et l'autre "fixe" montée sur la bicyclette 
La première de ces parties, dite partie "mobile"est formée par un ceinturon (1)- de solidité suffisante- qui présente à sa partie avant un chaîne, courroie ou similaire (2), terminée par un anneau (3). Le ceinturon porte également un crochet (4) permettant de placer l'anneau (3) en position de repos. 



   La partie "fixe" consiste en une pièce (5) montée fermement sur la bicyclette au moyen d'un collier ou d'un dispositif analogue- et pouvant faire purtie   intégrunto   de la bicyclotte- et terminée à sa partie supérieure par un pivot ou un crochet 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 3> 

 vertical (6) dirigé vers le bas de façon que sa partie inférieu- re reste libre. 



     FONCTIONNEMENT:   le fonctionnement de la présente ceinture- pédale se comprend facilement : le cycliste-qui s'est   dûment   passé le ceinturon (1) avant de se mettre en route- monte en bicyclette et roule normalement en terrain plat ou dans les des- centes, mais procède de la façon suivante arrivé au bas d'une   côte : d'une main, il détache l'anneau (3) ducrochet(4)-où il   se trouve en position de repos, c'est-à-dire pendant qu'il n'est pas utilisé- et l'introduit dans le pivot du crochet (6). A ce avec moment, il tend/son corps la chaîne (2) et commence à pédaler. 



  Puisqu'il faut que le ceinturon (1)- qui doit agir sur les han- ches pour assuer un meilleur rendemenb- assujetisse le corps à la bicyclette, l'effort produit par les muscles de la jambe a- git en deux points, l'un fixé à la bicyclette-le ceinturon- et l'autre mobile- les pédales- l'ensemble de la force déployée se portant sur ces dernières et de ce fait n'obligent pas à serrrer le guidon fortement avec les mains, pourvu qu'on appuie simplement les mains sur celui-ci pour conduire la bicyclette. 



  Une fois la côte terminée, il suffit de détacher l'anneau (3) du pivot   (6   et de l'attacher à nouveau au crochet   4.   



   AVANTAGES: Les principaux   avantages   offerts par la ceinture- pédale sont les suivants: 
1. Un grand accroissement de la poussée imprimée par les pieds aux pédales, poussée due à l'effort musuculaire des jam- bes, puisque,en se détendant,les muscles agissent sur le ceintu- ron(1)-qui demeure complètement fixe- et sur les pédales qui re- çoivent intégralement toute la force produite. 



   2. En assujetissant à la bicyclette le corps du cycliste au moyen de la ceinture-pédale, les bras sont libérés de l'ef- fort qu'ils doivent exercer sur le   guidon,     laissant   par consé- quent la poitrine également libérée de cet effort et assurée d'une respiration normale qui évite-ou tout au moins retarde- la fatigue. 



   3. Bien que la chaîne (2) soit fixée à la pièce (5), il ne 

 <Desc/Clms Page number 4> 

 peut y avoir aucun danger, en cas de chute, que le cycliste fasse corps avec la bicyclette, puisqu'il suffit d'incliner léè   èrement   le corps vers l'avant pour que l'anneau (3) se détache du pivot (6) de par son propre poids. 



     4.   Comme on peut l'apprécier, la ceinture-pédale peut être placée indistinctement sur des bicyclettes de tout genre, pour la course, pour la promenade, pour   homme-ou   pour femme. 



   5. Pour obtenir un grand rendement de la ceinture-pédale en montant les cotes, il n'est pas nécessaire de changer de vites-   se., néanmoins ,   il n'y a aucune incompatibilité entre les deux. 



   6. Constituent aussi d'appréciables avantages la solidité de construction de la ceinture-pédale, ce qui ne la rend pas    sujette aux dégâts ; salégèreté; son placement.rapide, son prix   de revient bon marché:etc.

  "Belt-pedal mounted on a bicycle and allowing full use of the muscular effort produced by the legs".



   With the pedal belt which is the subject of this utility model and is so called because the belt and the pedal constitute the two points of application of the muscular effort, the following advantages are obtained:
1. Complete change of the position adopted by the cyclist on the bicycle, in the climb of the hills, since instead of pushing while clinging forcefully to the handlebars, it is possible for him to ride by simply leaning on this one and even @
 EMI1.1
 to roll without touching it, as soon as the speed, 9-, q '"e / :.' f- fisante.

 <Desc / Clms Page number 2>

 



   2. Change of the usual position, also as indicated, due to the fact that instead of riding with the chest compressed by the muscular effort of the arms, the cyclist is completely free, which allows perfect and normal functioning. of the lungs and therefore prevents fatigue.



   3. As a result of the attitude taken by the cyclist's body on the bicycle, the force applied with the feet on the pedals will be much greater than in the usual case, since all the muscular effort exerted by the legs is fully used.



   DESCRIPTION: In order to make the present specification clearer, the characteristics of the claimed pedal belt will be set forth, with reference to the accompanying figure corresponding to one of the preferred embodiments, without limiting the scope in any way. invention, since it can vary as to shapes and dimensions, materials used and construction details, without departing from the scope of the invention and covering / the present application all similar devices by - ticipating in the spirit of the present utility model.



   Figure 1 shows a diagram of the belt pedal as a whole, as well as its assembly and operation.



   According to this diagram, said pedal belt is formed of two parts: one that we could call "mobile", which is worn by the cyclist and the other "fixed" mounted on the bicycle.
The first of these parts, called the "mobile" part, is formed by a belt (1) - of sufficient strength - which has at its front part a chain, belt or the like (2), terminated by a ring (3). The belt also carries a hook (4) allowing the ring (3) to be placed in the rest position.



   The "fixed" part consists of a part (5) mounted firmly on the bicycle by means of a collar or similar device - and capable of purtie integrunto of the bicycle - and terminated at its upper part by a pivot or a hook

 <Desc / Clms Page number 3>

 vertical (6) directed downwards so that its lower part remains free.



     OPERATION: the operation of this pedal belt is easy to understand: the cyclist - who has properly put on the belt (1) before setting off - gets on a bicycle and rides normally on flat ground or downhill. , but proceed as follows at the bottom of a rib: with one hand, he detaches the ring (3) from the hook (4) - where it is in the rest position, that is to say during that it is not being used and introduces it into the pivot of the hook (6). At this moment, he / his body tightens the chain (2) and begins to pedal.



  Since the belt (1) - which must act on the hips to ensure a better performance - must subject the body to the bicycle, the force produced by the muscles of the leg is at two points, l 'one fixed to the bicycle - the belt - and the other mobile - the pedals - all the force deployed being carried on the latter and therefore do not require to tighten the handlebars strongly with the hands, provided that 'you just press your hands on it to ride the bicycle.



  Once the coast is finished, all you have to do is detach the ring (3) from the pivot (6 and attach it to hook 4 again.



   ADVANTAGES: The main advantages offered by the pedal belt are as follows:
1. A great increase in the thrust given by the feet to the pedals, thrust due to the muscular effort of the legs, since, by relaxing, the muscles act on the belt (1) -which remains completely fixed- and on the pedals which fully receive all the force produced.



   2. By securing the cyclist's body to the bicycle by means of the pedal belt, the arms are freed from the force which they have to exert on the handlebars, thus leaving the chest also free from this effort. and assured of a normal breathing which avoids - or at least delays - fatigue.



   3. Although the chain (2) is attached to the part (5), it does not

 <Desc / Clms Page number 4>

 There can be no danger, in the event of a fall, that the cyclist becomes one with the bicycle, since it suffices to tilt the body slightly forward so that the ring (3) is detached from the pivot (6) by its own weight.



     4. As can be appreciated, the pedal belt can be placed indistinctly on bicycles of any kind, for running, for walking, for men or women.



   5. To obtain a high performance from the pedal belt when increasing the dimensions, it is not necessary to change gears. However, there is no incompatibility between the two.



   6. The solid construction of the pedal belt, which does not make it prone to damage, are also significant advantages; saltiness; its quick placement, its cheap cost: etc.
