Description

  

  Cadre de cycle, et procédé pour sa construction.    Le     c & dTo    de cycle selon l'invention est ca  ractérisé par le fait qu'al     présente,    de pro  fil, une forme     ennulaire        elliptique    sans aucun  élément     ktévneuT        -contrariant    sa flexibilité       naturelle    et en     cc        qu'il    est formé de :

  deux     an-          neaux        elliptiques    jumelés,     assemblés    aux       tubes    de     direction,    aux deux     extTémntés        de     la     boîte    de     pédalier    et à la monture de selle,       ces    deux anneaux     co.uver@geant    à la. fois     d'ar-          rière    en avant et     de    bas en haut.  



  Cet-te conception permet, par     TappoTt    aux       procédés        antérieurs    de     .construction,    des éco  nomies de     matière    et de temps.  



  Dans les     ,-cadres    actuels     triangulés,    le     tube     qui     .relie        la,        direction    au pédalier se trouve       très        fortement        sollicité    à la     traction,    et sou  mis à     des    vibrations de     fréquence    élevée, qui  tendent à provoquer la     a@is@tallisatiorï    du     mé-          ta.l,    et sa     rupture    au     voisinage    de la fourche.

    C'est là un fait d'expérience bien connu.  



  Le cadre suivant     l'muventzon        constitue    au  contraire pour le .cycle une     armature    relati  vement     élastique.    La charge s'y distribue sur    la     totalité    de la     périphérie    des     anneaux    qui  le     forment,    -du fait même -de l'absence de  toute triangulation.

   On réalise     ainsi    un équi  librage     général    -des     tensions.    Les     vibrations     de la fourche se     propagent        librement        dans     tout<B>le</B> cadre,     se        neutralisent    en s'y amortis  sant, et     n'at-heignent    jamais     les        fréquences          nuisibles    à     l'homogénéité    du     métal.     



       suppression    du     tube        selle-pédalier          n'entraine    en pratique aucune     déformation     verticale appréciable     clu        .cadlre    suivant .l'in  vention, mais la souplesse qu'il possède ce  pendant se     manifeste        @de    très heureuse     façôn     à la fourche     avant    qui, formant bras de le  vier, provoque de     minnmes        flexions    -du     eat & re,     et joue à la manière d'une fourche à     ressort,

            sanas        comporter    en fait aucun organe élas  tique.  



  La     .rigidité    latérale et la     résistance    à, la       torsion        restemt        satisfaisantes,    du     fait    de       l'obliquité        relative        -des    deux éléments annu  laires du cadre, qui s'épaulent efficacement,  et     s'a@nsemblent    aux deux     extrémités    de la           boîte    de     pédalier,    et     non    en son     milieu,

            comme    dans     les        cadres        actuels.     



       Ira,        figure        unique    du     dessin        annexé        re-          présente,        àtitre    d'exemple, en     perspective        un          cadre    do cycle     .réalisé        conformément    à l'in  vention et     obtenu    par soudure     autogène.    Ce  dessin ne     nécessite    aucun.     commentaire    spé  cial.  



       Les        tubes        cintrés        constituant    le     cadre     pourront     naturellement    être de section quel  conque, soit     circulaire,    soit     elliptique,        soit     même     polygonale.     



  Dans un premier mode de     construction,     chaque anneau est formé d'une longueur     cor-          respondate    do     tube    de section     déoroissant    à  ses deux     extrémités,    et cintré de manière que  le joint de     fermeture    de l'anneau     coïncide     avec la     patte    ou     oreille    de montage de la  roue.

   On     réalise    de la     sorte    un     cadre    effilé à  l'arrière, comme de sont la plupart des     bases     et des     montants        des        fourches        arrière    actuelles.  



  Dans un     second        modo    de     construction,    se       prêtant    mieux à une     fabrication        industrielle     en     grande        série,    on enroule en     continu    une  longueur quelconque de tube pour     former    un       cylindre        dont    la     base        présente    la forme ellip  tique     choisie,    et dont     toutes        les        spires,

          sec-          tionnées    au     point    convenable, fourniront un       élément    de     cadre.     



  On     peut    même     envisager        d'effectuer        cette          opération    d'enroulement lors de la     fabrication     même du tube, par exemple à la sortie de       l'étireuse.     



       Le        demi-produit        constitué        par        ce    rouleau       présente    un     encombrement        rcstrevnt    et se       prête        facilement    aux     diverses        manipulations     et     ,traitements    thermiques ou     autres.     



  Alors que     la,        description    qui     précède    se       rapporte    à une     construction        métallique    (acier,       dumal,        etc.),    on conçoit     qu'il        est        cependant          possible    de     réaliser,        sans        s'écarter    de l'inven  tion, un     cadre    du même     ,genme        établi    en.

   bois       cintré    ou enroulé     présentant        les        qualités        re-          quises    de     "nervosité",    comme le frêne ou le  hickory, par exemple.  



       Le    mode de     construction        décrit    permet en       outre    le libre     passage    des     câbles    de     frein    et         d'éclairage        dans    les     tubes,    qui ne     présentent     ni     coude        brusque,        ai        solution    de     continuité.     



  Une autre     particularité    de     ce        cadre        amnn-          laire        consiste        dans    le fait que lia     selle    et le       pédalier    peuvent y être     fixes    par     l'i:

  nbermé-          diaire    de     chapes        boulonnées,        pouvant        être        blo-          quées        sur    les tubes en     des        points        variables,    et       permettant    ainsi de     réglage    de     ces        organes    se  lon la position     recherchée        par        l'usager.     



  Un     cadre    de cycle     démontable        est,        d'avitre     part,     réalisé        trés        simplement    en     assemblent     en     outre    de     façon    amovible     quelconque        ses     deux     éléments    elliptiques sur le     tube    de     di-          rection.     



       I.1    est     ainsi        possible    de     réaliser    un nou  veau     cadre    de     conception        rationneile    et de  lignes modernes,     présentant    la     solidité    et la       souplesse        nécessaires,    et     se        prêtant    bien     ci,        unie          fabrication        industrielle    en     série.  



  Frame of cycle, and method for its construction. The cycle c & dTo according to the invention is characterized by the fact that al has, in profile, an elliptical annular shape without any ktévneuT element - contrary to its natural flexibility and in that it is formed of:

  two twin elliptical rings, assembled to the steerer tubes, to the two extents of the bottom bracket shell and to the seat mount, these two rings co.uver@geant to the. back to front and bottom to top.



  This design allows, by TappoTt the previous construction methods, savings in material and time.



  In the current triangulated frames, the tube which connects the steering to the crankset is very highly stressed in traction, and subjected to high frequency vibrations, which tend to cause the metal to be raised. ta.l, and its rupture near the fork.

    This is a well-known fact of experience.



  On the contrary, the frame following the muventzon constitutes a relatively elastic frame for the cycle. The charge is distributed over the entire periphery of the rings which form it, - due to the very fact - of the absence of any triangulation.

   A general balancing of the tensions is thus achieved. The vibrations of the fork propagate freely throughout <B> the </B> frame, neutralize themselves by being damped therein, and never reach frequencies detrimental to the homogeneity of the metal.



       removal of the saddle-bottom bracket tube in practice does not lead to any appreciable vertical deformation of the following frame. The invention, but the flexibility that it has this pendant is very fortunate in the front fork which, forming an arm of the sinker, causes tiny bends in the food, and plays like a spring fork,

            without in fact having any elastic organ.



  The lateral stiffness and the resistance to torsion remain satisfactory, owing to the relative obliquity of the two annular elements of the frame, which support each other effectively, and meet at both ends of the bottom bracket shell. , and not in the middle,

            as in the current frameworks.



       Ira, single figure of the appended drawing shows, by way of example, in perspective a frame do cycle. Produced in accordance with the invention and obtained by autogenous welding. This drawing does not require any. special comment.



       The bent tubes constituting the frame may naturally have any cross section, either circular, elliptical, or even polygonal.



  In a first embodiment, each ring is formed of a corresponding length of tube of deorining section at its two ends, and bent so that the closing gasket of the ring coincides with the mounting lug or ear of the ring. wheel.

   In this way, a tapered frame is produced at the rear, as are most of the bases and uprights of current rear forks.



  In a second method of construction, lending itself better to large-scale industrial manufacture, any length of tube is continuously wound up to form a cylinder whose base has the chosen elliptical shape, and all of the turns of which,

          Sectioned at the proper point, will provide a framing element.



  It is even conceivable to perform this winding operation during the actual manufacture of the tube, for example at the outlet of the drawing machine.



       The semi-finished product formed by this roll has a rcstrevnt bulk and lends itself easily to various manipulations and heat or other treatments.



  While the foregoing description relates to a metallic construction (steel, dumal, etc.), it will be understood that it is however possible to produce, without departing from the invention, a frame of the same established kind. in.

   bent or coiled wood exhibiting the required qualities of "liveliness", such as ash or hickory, for example.



       The method of construction described also allows the free passage of the brake and lighting cables in the tubes, which do not have any sharp bends, ai solution of continuity.



  Another peculiarity of this amnnary frame consists in the fact that the saddle and the crankset can be fixed there by the i:

  nbermedium of bolted yokes, which can be locked on the tubes at variable points, and thus allowing adjustment of these components according to the position desired by the user.



  A removable cycle frame is, on the other hand, produced very simply by furthermore removably assembling any of its two elliptical elements on the steering tube.



       I.1 is thus possible to achieve a new frame of rational design and modern lines, having the necessary strength and flexibility, and lending itself well here, united industrial production in series.
