Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connecting device between a towing cable and a cycle, applicable in particular to ski lifts to ensure the recovery, outside of the winter season, of cycles or similar machines and in particular of cycles used for the practice of velocross and mountain biking.
  • Velocross and mountain biking are currently sports which are developing considerably, and it is particularly attractive to practice them in mountainous regions, because of the sporting possibilities offered for the descents in velocross, and of the beauty and the variety of landscapes for hiking.
  • the practice of velocross on steep terrain requires, after each descent, an ascent which can only be done on foot by pushing the cycle.
  • mountain biking involves long climbs, exhausting for hikers.
  • ski lifts which are generally unused in summer. We can therefore consider taking advantage of the existence of these ski lifts, to ensure the ascent of cycles during periods when there is no snow, and thus allow the practice of velocross downhill, in the conditions as pleasant as possible. But the traction of the cycles presents two important differences compared to that of the other machines usually towed by the ski lifts.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to ensure the attachment of the cycles to the cable of the ski lifts by meeting all the conditions previously exposed.
  • this connecting device between a general tractor cable and a cycle is characterized in that it comprises a tractor part which is connected to the general tractor cable by means of a tension regulator, an individual tractor cable or an individual tractor bar, provided with the both of a device tension regulator, a towed part connected to the cycle and a safety coupling device between the two tractor and towed parts, with automatic coupling by engagement of one of these two parts in the other, this coupling device comprising , taking into account the effect of the tension regulation device, stall means operating on the towed part and releasing the cycle when the driver so desires and possibly in automatic safety, as well as automatic stall means operating on the part tractor, and releasing the cycle when it deviates from the normal ascent trajectory or when it falls on the ground.
  • the automatic release of the cycle is obtained by using the fact that, in the two aforementioned cases, the longitudinal vertical plane of the cycle manages to make a minimum angle with the axis of the individual tractor cable or of the individual tractor bar.
  • the device according to the invention is intended to establish a connection between a cycle 1, for example of the type used for the practice of velocross and touring bike, and a general tractor cable 2 such as that of an already installed ski lift in a mountainous region, in order to ensure the ascent of cycle 1 and its driver, without the latter having to produce significant physical effort.
  • connection device comprises a safety coupling device 3 between a tractor part 4 connected to the general tractor cable 2 and a towed part 5 connected to cycle 1.
  • the tractor part 4 is connected to the general tractor cable 2 by means of a tension regulator 6, of the articulated spring type, which is hooked to the lower end of an individual tractor cable 7 (or of a bar individual tractor) which is itself hooked, at its upper end, to the general tractor cable 2, by means of a fixing device 8 of any suitable type.
  • the safety coupling device 3 allows an automatic hooking of the two tractor 4 and towed 5 parts, by engagement of one of these female parts in the other male part, and also a manual stall when the driver reaches the top of the slope and wishes to release the cycle, either automatic in the event of a fall in the cycle or deviation resulting in an excessive angle with the axis of traction.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 A non-limiting embodiment of the safety coupling device is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the traction part 4 is constituted by a body 9 supporting the traction and safety mechanism, this body 9 having a shape intended to receive in its hollowed out rear part a body 10 of the towed part 5, in order to avoid any relative rotation of these two bodies 9, 10 in hooking position and to facilitate disengagement when the axis of traction has a minimum angle with the axis of the device.
  • the traction and safety mechanism of the tractor part 4 comprises a set of two jaws 11, 12, constituted by levers with two arms, watches resnective pivotally, on the body 9 of the tractor part 4, around respective axes 13,14, carried by the body 9.
  • the posterior ends 11a, 12a, of the posterior arms of these jaws 11,12, that is to say those which are situated on the side of the towed part 5, are normally kept locked in the closed position; in the event of axial traction, by bosses 15, 16, of a safety cam 17 pivotally mounted, in the front part of the body 9, around an axis 18.
  • the lateral bosses 15, 16 of the cam 17 are provided in positions such that in the event of axial traction, these two bosses 15, 16 are located respectively opposite and in contact with the respective anterior ends 11b, 12b, of the anterior arms of the two jaws 11, 12.
  • the safety cam 17 is integral with a traction arm 19 which extends it forwards, outside the body 9, and which is connected to the traction cable by the tension regulator, and by the individual tractor cable or the individual drawbar. As a result, the cam 17 pivots constantly, in the case of an axial tractionion, about the axis 18 in order to follow exactly the movements of the traction axis relative to the vertical longitudinal plane of the cycle.
  • the safety cam 17 In the absence of any axial tensile force, the safety cam 17 is maintained, by a return spring 20, in the middle rest position in which it ensures the locking of the two jaws 11 in the closed position, because its two bosses 15,16 respectively push outward the anterior ends llb, 12b the two jaws 11,12.
  • the rear ends 11a, 12a of the two jaws 11, 12 are clamped towards one another and they hold together a lug 21 integral with the body 10 of the towed part 5.
  • the lug 21 is advantageously provided at the front end of a plate 22 which is supported by a spring 23 allowing both the pivoting of the lug 21 downwards, to deliberately release the cycle, and its return towards the top, for snap-fastening of the towed part 5 into the towing part 4.
  • Manual erasure of the lug 21 can be achieved by pulling downwards on a cable 24 connected to the lug 21.
  • the lug 21 is secured to an arm 25 pivotally mounted about a horizontal and transverse axis 26 and pushed upwards by a spring 27. Again a pull cable 24 attached to the lug 21 makes it possible to pivot the latter downwards, against the force exerted by the spring 27, to release the towed part 5 from the towing part 4.
