Abstract

The connecting rod can be used to secure an ordinary adult bicycle to an ordinary child's bicycle. The connector rod is fixed to the front fork (3) and to either the rear fork or the bicycle stand holder of the child's bicycle. The connector rod has a holder fork (9) that is connected to a holder on the adult bicycle.

Description

FunktionsbeschreibungFunctional description

Um das Kinderfahrrad (1) an der Verbindungsstange (2) zu befestigen, muß das Vorderrad des Kinderfahrrades ausgebaut werden. In die nun freie Vorderradgabel (3) wird die Achse (4) der Verbindungsstange eingesetzt. Die Achse ist ca. 140 mm lang und besitzt ein M8- oder M10-Gewinde, auf die die Vorderradgabel des Kinderfahrrades mittels Muttern (12) befestigt wird. Schnellspannverschlüsse an dem Vorderrad und an der Achse vereinfachen die Montage.To attach the children's bike ( 1 ) to the connecting rod ( 2 ), the front wheel of the children's bike must be removed. The axle ( 4 ) of the connecting rod is inserted into the free front fork ( 3 ). The axle is approx. 140 mm long and has an M8 or M10 thread to which the front fork of the children's bike is attached using nuts ( 12 ). Quick-release fasteners on the front wheel and on the axle simplify assembly.

Die zweite Befestigung des Kinderfahrrades an der Verbindungsstange erfolgt an der Hinterradgabel (13) des Kinderfahrrades oder, wenn vorhanden, an der Fahrradständer- Halterung (5). Damit wird verhindert, daß sich das Kinderfahrrad um die Lenkerachse (6) bewegen kann.The second attachment of the children's bike to the connecting rod is carried out on the rear fork ( 13 ) of the children's bike or, if available, on the bike stand bracket ( 5 ). This prevents the children's bike from moving around the handlebar axis ( 6 ).

Die Haltegabel (9) der Verbindungsstange incl. Kinderfahrrad wird mit der Halterung (10) am ziehenden Fahrrad (8) verbunden.The holding fork ( 9 ) of the connecting rod including the children's bike is connected to the bracket ( 10 ) on the pulling bicycle ( 8 ).

Gelenkteil (7) und Haltegabel (9) bilden das benötigte Gelenk.Joint part ( 7 ) and holding fork ( 9 ) form the required joint.

Das Gelenk muß spielfrei um zwei Achsen frei drehbar sein, damit Höhenunterschiede und Richtungsänderungen ausgeglichen werden können.The joint must be freely rotatable about two axes so that height differences and Changes in direction can be compensated.

Für diesen Zweck können alle handelsüblichen Anhängerkupplungen verwendet werden, die die oben genannten Bedingungen erfüllen.All commercially available towbars can be used for this purpose meet the above conditions.

Bei dem gebauten Testmuster wurde als Befestigung eine handelsübliche Kinderfahrradsitzhalterung (9) u. (10) benutzt. Das Gelenkteil (7) bildet die beiden spielfrei, drehbaren Gelenkachsen.In the test sample built, a commercially available child bike seat bracket ( 9 ) and. ( 10 ) used. The joint part ( 7 ) forms the two play-free, rotatable joint axes.

Um einen platzsparenden Transport zu ermöglichen, kann die Verbindungsstange klappbar oder steckbar (ähnlich einer Autoabschleppstange) sein.To enable space-saving transport, the connecting rod can be folded down or be pluggable (similar to a car tow bar).

Durch die Verwendung von variablen Befestigungspunkten der Vorderrad- und Hinterradgabel mit der Verbindungsstange, können die meisten handelsüblichen Kinderfahrräder adaptiert werden. By using variable attachment points of the front wheel and Rear fork with the connecting rod, can be most commercially available Children's bicycles can be adapted.  

Beschreibungdescription

Anhängefahrräder sind einrädrige Kinderfahrräder, die anstatt eines Vorderrades eine verlängerte Rahmenstange besitzen, die mit Hilfe einer Anhängekupplung an herkömmliche Fahrräder angehängt werden können.Trailer bicycles are single-wheel children's bicycles, which instead of a front one have an extended frame rod that can be attached to conventional ones with the aid of a trailer coupling Bikes can be attached.

Kinder, die noch nicht oder nur unsicher Fahrrad fahren, können auf diesen Anhängefahrrädern auf Radtouren sicher mitgenommen werden. Dabei ist es den Kindern möglich selbst mitzutreten, nicht aber zu lenken.Children who are not yet or only unsafe to ride a bike can use these trailer bikes be taken safely on bike tours. The children can do it themselves to join, but not to steer.

Diese Anhängefahrräder können ausschließlich im Anhängebetrieb genutzt werden. Eine Nutzung als normales Kinderfahrrad ist nicht möglich. Das führt zu einer eingeschränkten Nutzungsdauer und Nutzungsmöglichkeit dieser Produkte.These trailer bikes can only be used in trailer operation. A Use as a normal children's bike is not possible. That leads to a restricted Service life and use of these products.

Diese Nachteile werden durch die im Patentanspruch aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst, da mit der Verbindungsstange handelsübliche Kinderfahrräder mit handelsüblichen Fahrrädern verbunden werden können.These disadvantages are solved by the features listed in the claim, since with the connecting rod commercially available children's bicycles with commercially available bicycles can be connected.

Dadurch ist es möglich, das Kinderfahrrad sowohl als normales Fahrrad zu, nutzen aber auch durch Montage der Verbindungsstange als Anhängefahrrad.This makes it possible to use the children's bike both as a normal bike, but also by mounting the connecting rod as a trailer bike.

Der Transport ist problemlos, da das Fahrrad und die Verbindungsstange voneinander getrennt transportiert werden können oder die Verbindungsstange als Teleskop- oder klappbare Stange ausgeführt werden kann.Transport is easy because the bike and the connecting rod from each other can be transported separately or the connecting rod as a telescopic or folding bar can be executed.
