Description
[0001] La présente invention concerne un dispositif de commande de direction pour motocyclette ou similaire, ce dispositif de commande comportant un guidon, une fourche de direction auquel est attaché ledit guidon, un ensemble tournant porté par ladite fourche de direction, et de deux organes de suspension - amortisseur montés sur ladite fourche de direction pour contrôler les déplacements verticaux dudit ensemble tournant. The present invention relates to a steering control device for motorcycles or the like, the control device comprising a handlebar, a steering fork which is attached said handlebar, a rotating assembly carried by said steering fork, and two bodies shock absorber mounted on said steering fork for controlling the vertical displacements of said rotating assembly.
[0002] Les motocyclettes à vocation routière sont des véhicules à deux roues, dont une roue avant est directrice et une roue arrière est motrice. On connaît malheureusement très bien les risques inhérents à la circulation sur route avec ces véhicules, dans les conditions routières habituelles, sur des voies encombrées, des chaussées glissantes etc. La moindre perte d’adhérence peut entraîner la chute du pilote et provoquer un accident grave, voire mortel. Motorcycles for road use are two-wheeled vehicles, including a front wheel is a steering wheel and a rear wheel is driving. Unfortunately, we know very well the risks inherent in road traffic with these vehicles, under the usual road conditions, on congested roads, slippery roads, etc. Any loss of traction can cause the driver to fall and cause a serious or even fatal accident.
[0003] En outre, la possibilité de transport de produits sur une motocyclette, comme une mallette de documents ou des biens de consommation, est extrêmement réduite. Certaines motocyclettes peuvent être équipées de sacoches latérales fixées su niveau de la roue arrière. Néanmoins la capacité de ces sacoches est limitée en raison de leur encombrement réduit. In addition, the possibility of transporting products on a motorcycle, such as a briefcase of documents or consumer goods, is extremely small. Some motorcycles may be equipped with side bags attached to the level of the rear wheel. Nevertheless the capacity of these bags is limited because of their reduced size.
[0004] Pour pallier le problème de la stabilité des véhicules à deux roues, une initiative, qui a consisté à lancer des scooters à trois roues, a connu un certain succès commercial. Elle concerne cependant des scooters et non des motocyclettes, ce qui limite la demande à un public relativement restreint, sachant que la plupart des motocyclistes ne souhaite pas se convertir en scootéristes. Les scooters à trois roues sont des véhicules de conception nouvelle par rapport aux scooters à deux roues et tous les composants des premiers sont distincts des composants des seconds et ne peuvent en aucun cas être interchangés. La commande de direction, le freinage, la suspension et l’amortissement sont adaptés aux véhicules respectifs. To overcome the problem of stability of two-wheeled vehicles, an initiative, which was to launch three-wheeled scooters, has had some commercial success. However, it concerns scooters and not motorcycles, which limits the demand to a relatively small audience, knowing that most motorcyclists do not want to become scooters. Three-wheeled scooters are new-design vehicles compared to two-wheeled scooters, and all the components of the two-wheeled scooters are distinct from the components of the latter and can not be interchanged in any case. The steering control, braking, suspension and damping are adapted to the respective vehicles.
[0005] Outre l’avantage de la stabilité du véhicule, les scooters à trois roues disposent d’un espace de rangement supérieur à celui des motocyclettes, ce qui leur donne un avantage pour des déplacements en tenue de ville. D’une manière générale, le motard revêt une combinaison de motard, qui lui assure la meilleure protection possible en cas de chute et il ne dispose quasiment d’aucun espace de rangement pour emporter avec lui en plus des vêtements dits «de ville». Le scootériste peut envisager de circuler avec des vêtements dits «de ville» et dispose en outre d’un espace pour ranger des vêtements de rechange. [0005] In addition to the advantage of the stability of the vehicle, three-wheeled scooters have a storage space greater than that of motorcycles, which gives them an advantage for traveling in city clothes. In general, the rider wears a biker suit, which gives him the best possible protection in case of a fall and he has almost no storage space to take with him in addition to clothes called "city". The scooter operator may consider traveling with so-called "city clothes" and also has space to store extra clothes.
[0006] De ce fait, on crée quasi automatiquement deux catégories de conducteurs de véhicules à deux roues sans pouvoir faire bénéficier aux uns des avantages des autres. [0006] As a result, two categories of two-wheeled vehicle drivers are almost automatically created without being able to benefit from the advantages of the others.
[0007] La présente invention se propose de pallier ces inconvénients susmentionnés et de permettre aux motocyclistes de bénéficier de manière simple et à peu de frais des avantages des scooters à trois roues en matière de stabilité et de sécurité et en matière d’espace disponible. The present invention proposes to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to allow motorcyclists to benefit in a simple and inexpensive three-wheeled scooter benefits in terms of stability and safety and in terms of available space.
[0008] Ce but est atteint par le dispositif de commande de direction selon l’invention tel que défini en préambule et caractérisé en ce que ledit ensemble tournant comporte deux roues indépendantes montées libres respectivement sur deux axes fixes portés chacun par un triangle de suspension constitué d’un bras articulé sur un élément dudit châssis et d’un organe de suspension-amortisseur, et en ce que les organes de suspension-amortisseurs sont fixés à un élément de bascule articulé en son milieu à la fourche de direction. This object is achieved by the steering control device according to the invention as defined in the preamble and characterized in that said rotating assembly comprises two independent wheels mounted respectively free on two fixed axes each carried by a suspension triangle constituted an articulated arm on an element of said frame and a suspension-damper member, and in that the suspension-damping members are fixed to a rocker element articulated in its middle to the steering fork.
[0009] Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel le dispositif comporte des moyens de freinage pour bloquer les roues en position sensiblement verticale. According to a preferred embodiment the device comprises braking means for locking the wheels in substantially vertical position.
[0010] Lesdits moyens de freinage sont avantageusement couplés par un câble à deux tambours de freinage. [0010] Said braking means are advantageously coupled by a cable to two braking drums.
[0011] Lesdits moyens de freinage peuvent être couplés par un câble à deux pinces de freinage associées respectivement à deux segments de disques de freinage. Said braking means may be coupled by a cable to two braking clips respectively associated with two segments of braking discs.
[0012] Selon une première variante, ledit triangle de suspension est disposé à l’arrière des roues. In a first variant, said suspension triangle is disposed at the rear of the wheels.
[0013] Selon une seconde variante, ledit triangle de suspension est disposé à l’avant des roues. According to a second variant, said suspension triangle is disposed at the front of the wheels.
[0014] Dans ce cas, le dispositif comporte avantageusement une sacoche amovible fixée au triangle de suspension et/ou audit châssis. In this case, the device advantageously comprises a removable bag attached to the suspension triangle and / or said frame.
[0015] Ladite sacoche amovible comporte de préférence des moyens d’accrochage associés au châssis. Said removable bag preferably comprises fastening means associated with the frame.
[0016] La présente invention et ses avantages seront mieux compris à la lecture de la description détaillée de formes de réalisation préférées du dispositif, en référence aux dessins annexés donnés à titre indicatif et non limitatif, dans lesquels: <tb>la fig. 1<sep>représente une vue latérale de la commande de direction selon l’invention, <tb>la fig. 2<sep>est une vue frontale de la commande de direction de la fig. 1, dans une position sensiblement droite, <tb>la fig. 3<sep>représente une vue frontale de la commande de direction de la fig. 1, dans une position inclinée, <tb>la fig. 4<sep>représente une vue latérale d’une variante de réalisation du dispositif selon l’invention, et <tb>la fig. 5<sep>représente une vue latérale d’une autre variante de réalisation du dispositif selon l’invention, permettant d’équiper la motocyclette d’une sacoche frontale.The present invention and its advantages will be better understood on reading the detailed description of preferred embodiments of the device, with reference to the accompanying drawings given by way of non-limiting indication, in which: <tb> fig. 1 <sep> represents a side view of the steering control according to the invention, <tb> fig. 2 <sep> is a front view of the steering control of FIG. 1, in a substantially straight position, <tb> fig. 3 <sep> represents a front view of the steering control of FIG. 1, in an inclined position, <tb> fig. 4 <sep> represents a side view of an alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention, and <tb> fig. 5 <sep> is a side view of another embodiment of the device according to the invention, to equip the motorcycle with a front bag.
[0017] Le dispositif de commande de direction 10 pour motocyclette ou similaire pourvu d’un châssis 11, tel qu’illustré par les fig. 1 et 2, comporte un guidon 12, une fourche de direction 13 à laquelle est attaché ledit guidon 12, un ensemble tournant 14 porté par ladite fourche de direction 13, et deux organes 15 de suspension-amortisseurs montés sur ladite fourche de direction 13 pour contrôler les déplacements verticaux dudit ensemble tournant 14. Dans l’exemple représenté, ledit ensemble tournant 14 comporte deux roues indépendantes 14a et 14b montées librement, respectivement sur deux axes fixes 16, portés chacun par un triangle de suspension 17. Les deux triangles de suspension 17 sont constitués chacun d’un bras 18 articulé sur un élément 19 dudit châssis 11 et d’un organe 15 de suspension-amortisseur. Les organes 15 de suspension-amortisseurs sont fixés à un élément de bascule 20 articulé en son milieu à la fourche de direction 13. The steering control device 10 for a motorcycle or the like provided with a chassis 11, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, comprises a handlebar 12, a steering fork 13 to which is attached said handlebar 12, a rotating assembly 14 carried by said steering fork 13, and two suspension-shock absorber members mounted on said steering fork 13 for controlling the vertical displacements of said rotating assembly 14. In the example shown, said rotating assembly 14 comprises two independent wheels 14a and 14b mounted freely, respectively on two fixed axes 16, each carried by a suspension triangle 17. The two suspension triangles 17 each consist of an arm 18 hinged to an element 19 of said frame 11 and a suspension-damper member 15. The shock-suspension members 15 are fixed to a rocker element 20 hinged at its middle to the steering fork 13.
[0018] La fig. 2 représente la motocyclette dans une position droite, c’est-à-dire que son axe est sensiblement vertical ou perpendiculaire à la route. La fig. 3 représente cette même motocyclette lorsque le pilote a tourné le guidon 12 à droite, dans le sens de la flèche A. La motocyclette penche du côté vers lequel elle tourne et les deux roues directrices 14a et 14b s’inclinent tout en restant parallèles à elles-mêmes. Cette inclinaison est obtenue grâce à l’élément de bascule 20 qui pivote autour de son axe de pivotement central 21. Quelle que soit la position de la motocyclette, elle dispose de trois points d’appui constitués de la bande de roulement des deux roues avant 14a et 14b et de celle de la roue arrière (non représentée). La stabilité de cette motocyclette est considérablement augmentée, par rapport à la motocyclette de baser transformée par le remplacement de son dispositif de commande de direction original par le dispositif de commande de direction selon l’invention. FIG. 2 shows the motorcycle in a straight position, that is to say that its axis is substantially vertical or perpendicular to the road. Fig. 3 represents the same motorcycle when the pilot turned the handlebars 12 to the right, in the direction of the arrow A. The motorcycle leans on the side towards which it turns and the two steering wheels 14a and 14b bow while remaining parallel to them -Same. This inclination is obtained thanks to the rocking element 20 which pivots about its central pivot axis 21. Whatever the position of the motorcycle, it has three bearing points consisting of the tread of the two front wheels. 14a and 14b and that of the rear wheel (not shown). The stability of this motorcycle is considerably increased, compared to the converted base motorcycle by the replacement of its original steering control device by the steering control device according to the invention.
[0019] Une motocyclette traditionnelle nécessite l’appui sur un trépied lorsqu’elle est à l’arrêt. La motocyclette transformée par le montage du dispositif de commande de direction selon l’invention est pourvue de moyens de freinage 22, par exemple sous la forme d’un levier de freinage qui est couplé, au moyen d’un câble 23, à deux tambours de freinage 24. Ce système permet de bloquer les roues 14a et 14b en position et d’assurer la position sensiblement verticale du véhicule au repos. A traditional motorcycle requires support on a tripod when it is stopped. The motorcycle transformed by the mounting of the steering control device according to the invention is provided with braking means 22, for example in the form of a brake lever which is coupled, by means of a cable 23, to two drums 24. This system is used to lock the wheels 14a and 14b in position and ensure the substantially vertical position of the vehicle at rest.
[0020] On notera que le bras de suspension 18 est articulé, d’une part, sur l’élément de châssis 19 et, d’autre part, sur un moyeu de roue 25, en un point 26. La base de chacun des organes 15 de suspension-amortisseurs est également montée sur le moyeu de roue 25 en un point 27. Ce mode d’assemblage n’est pas unique et les composants du triangle de suspension pourraient être disposés différemment. Note that the suspension arm 18 is articulated on the one hand, on the frame member 19 and, secondly, on a wheel hub 25 at a point 26. The base of each of suspension-shock absorber members 15 is also mounted on the wheel hub 25 at a point 27. This method of assembly is not unique and the components of the wishbone could be arranged differently.
[0021] La fig. 4 représente une variante de réalisation dans laquelle la roue est en position dite «tirée», alors que dans la réalisation précédente, la roue est en position dite «poussée». Le dispositif de commande de direction 30 est monté sur un châssis 31 et comprend une fourche de direction 32 à laquelle est lié un ensemble tournant 33 qui comprend deux roues 34 montées sur un axe 35 solidaire d’un moyeu 36. Un triangle de suspension 37 se compose d’un élément de châssis 38 et d’un bras de suspension 39 articulés sur cet élément de châssis. Deux organes 40 de suspension-amortisseurs portent respectivement les moyeux 36 des roues 34. Un système de freinage-blocage en position 41 est monté sur le triangle de suspension 37. Ce système de freinage-blocage 41 comporte une pince de freinage 42 associée à un segment de disque de freinage 43. Ce mode de réalisation peut présenter des avantages pour certaines utilisations de la motocyclette en permettant de modifier la chasse et, par conséquent, le comportement routier du véhicule. FIG. 4 represents an alternative embodiment in which the wheel is in the "pulled" position, whereas in the previous embodiment, the wheel is in the so-called "pushed" position. The steering control device 30 is mounted on a frame 31 and comprises a steering fork 32 to which is connected a rotating assembly 33 which comprises two wheels 34 mounted on an axis 35 integral with a hub 36. A suspension triangle 37 consists of a frame member 38 and a suspension arm 39 articulated on this frame member. Two suspension shock absorbers 40 respectively carry the hubs 36 of the wheels 34. A braking-locking system in position 41 is mounted on the suspension triangle 37. This braking-locking system 41 comprises a braking clamp 42 associated with a This embodiment may have advantages for certain uses of the motorcycle by making it possible to modify the hunting and, consequently, the road behavior of the vehicle.
[0022] La fig. 5 représente un autre mode de réalisation du dispositif 50 de commande de direction selon l’invention. Ce dispositif comporte sensiblement les mêmes composants que celui de la fig. 4. C’est pourquoi ils seront désignés par les mêmes références. Le positionnement du triangle de suspension 37 est inversé par rapport à la construction précédente. Cette réalisation présente l’avantage de dégager un espace relativement important à l’avant du véhicule, ce qui lui permet de disposer d’une poche ou sacoche 51 relativement volumineuse pour charger des effets personnels ou des biens à transporter. Cette sacoche 51 comporte avantageusement, à sa partie inférieure, deux roulettes 52, un crochet d’accrochage 53 pour la suspendre à un élément du châssis et, à sa partie supérieure, un clapet de fermeture 54 pivotant. La forme et les dimensions de cette sacoche peuvent être modifiées en fonction de la motocyclette ou en fonction des dimensions que l’on souhaite lui donner. Elle est de préférence amovible, éventuellement fixée avec des moyens sécurisés, et a un profil qui est adapté au profil du carrossage de la motocyclette. FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the steering control device 50 according to the invention. This device comprises substantially the same components as that of FIG. 4. That is why they will be designated by the same references. The positioning of the suspension triangle 37 is reversed with respect to the previous construction. This embodiment has the advantage of releasing a relatively large space at the front of the vehicle, which allows him to have a pocket or bag 51 relatively large to load personal belongings or goods to carry. This bag 51 advantageously comprises, at its lower part, two wheels 52, a hook 53 for suspending a frame member and, at its upper part, a pivoting closure valve 54. The shape and dimensions of this bag can be modified depending on the motorcycle or depending on the size that you want to give it. It is preferably removable, possibly secured with secure means, and has a profile that is adapted to the camber profile of the motorcycle.
[0023] Bien d’autres variantes de réalisation sont envisageables. La forme et les dimensions des différents composants peuvent être adaptées en fonction de la motocyclette concernée, de son profil, de sa puissance etc. Le dispositif de l’invention peut être conçu comme un accessoire susceptible de se substituer à une commande de direction d’origine pour améliorer la tenue de route et la capacité de transport d’une motocyclette traditionnelle commercialisée avec une seule roue directrice. Sans quasiment aucune modification technique de la motocyclette, le dispositif de l’invention peut être monté comme un accessoire et être substitué à la fourche télescopique de la motocyclette originale et réciproquement. De cette façon, la motocyclette peut avoir deux utilisations distinctes, l’une sportive et l’autre sécurisée pour une utilisation comme véhicule de ville. Les variantes envisagées restent toutefois dans le champ d’application des revendications et ne dépassent pas le cadre de la présente invention. Many other embodiments are possible. The shape and dimensions of the different components can be adapted according to the motorcycle concerned, its profile, its power etc. The device of the invention can be designed as an accessory that can replace an original steering control to improve the handling and carrying capacity of a traditional motorcycle marketed with a single steering wheel. Without virtually any technical modification of the motorcycle, the device of the invention can be mounted as an accessory and be substituted for the telescopic fork of the original motorcycle and vice versa. In this way, the motorcycle can have two distinct uses, one sporty and the other secured for use as a city vehicle. The alternatives contemplated, however, remain within the scope of the claims and do not go beyond the scope of the present invention.
