Description

DescriptionDescription

EXPOSÉ [0001] Dans les zones urbaines notamment, on utilise de nombreux véhicules individuels tels que scooters, vélomoteurs, bicyclettes, quadricycles, etc. mais tous posent de sérieux problèmes de parcage en fin d’utilisation dus au manque de place et au vandalisme. Il existe déjà une multitude d’engins pliables tels que bicyclettes, trottinettes (électriques ou non) mais qui, pour être plies nécessitent des opérations multiples, compliquées et parfois présentant des risques de pincements ou blessures. De plus, une fois plies, ces engins doivent être soulevés pour être transportés. Afin d’offrir une stabilité nécessaire à sa sécurité dans le flot de circulation, un véhicule doit généralement disposer d’un empattement relativement important qui devient un handicap en fin d’utilisation lorsqu’il s’agit de le ranger.PRESENTATION In urban areas in particular, many individual vehicles are used such as scooters, mopeds, bicycles, quadricycles, etc. but all pose serious parking problems at the end of use due to lack of space and vandalism. There are already a multitude of foldable devices such as bicycles, scooters (electric or not) but which, to be folded require multiple operations, complicated and sometimes presenting risks of pinching or injury. In addition, once folded, these devices must be lifted for transport. In order to provide the stability necessary for its safety in the traffic flow, a vehicle must generally have a relatively large wheelbase which becomes a handicap at the end of use when it comes to storing it.

[0002] La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients. En effet, en opérant facilement et rapidement un rapprochement des roues avant et arrière on obtient un encombrement au sol réduit tout en conservant une possibilité de roulage. Ce résultat est obtenu en scindant le véhicule en 7 éléments principaux:The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks. In fact, by easily and quickly bringing the front and rear wheels closer together, a reduced footprint is obtained while retaining the possibility of driving. This result is obtained by splitting the vehicle into 7 main elements:

1: 1: Un cadre principal A main frame 2: 2: Un bras de roue arrière A rear wheel arm 3: 3: Un support de siège A seat support 4: 4: Un pivot de bras de roue arrière A rear wheel arm pivot 5: 5: Un pivot de support de siège A seat support pivot 6: 6: Une bielle A connecting rod 7: 7: Un crochet de verrouillage A locking hook

RÉALISATION DE L’INVENTION [0003] A titre d’exemple non-exclusif nous présentons une forme de réalisation de l’invention correspondant à un vélo (voir fig. 1): Le cadre principal (1) intègre entre autres la colonne de direction, la roue avant, le système de pédalier, les divers accessoires, etc. et sur lequel sont placés le pivots (4) sur lequel s’articule le bras de roue arrière (2) et le pivot (5) sur lequel s’articule le support de siège (3).REALIZATION OF THE INVENTION As a non-exclusive example we present an embodiment of the invention corresponding to a bicycle (see fig. 1): The main frame (1) incorporates inter alia the steering column , the front wheel, the bottom bracket system, the various accessories, etc. and on which are placed the pivots (4) on which the rear wheel arm (2) is articulated and the pivot (5) on which the seat support (3) is articulated.
