' La présente invention à pour but de permettre la réalisation d'une attache simple et fiable pour pouvoir tracter des véhicules ou objet roulant en toute sécurité grâce aux installations déjà existantes en montagne, lors des périodes hors neige.'The present invention aims to allow the realization of a simple and reliable attachment to be able to tow vehicles or rolling object safely thanks to the already existing installations in the mountains, during periods outside snow.

l'attache selon l'invention est particulièrement destinée à utiliser l'été les remontes pentes ou autre remontée mécanique en montagne et à développer les loisirs d'été à la montagne.the fastener according to the invention is particularly intended to use in summer the ski lifts or other ski lift in the mountains and to develop summer leisure activities in the mountains.

l'invention est relative à une attache à commande manuelle pour permettre le transport, notamment par canne de remontée mécanique en dehors de la saison hivernale, de cycles ou objet roulant et notamment de cycles utilisée pour la pratique du velocross et du vélo tout terrain.the invention relates to a fastener with manual control to allow the transport, in particular by ski-lift rod outside the winter season, of cycles or rolling object and in particular of cycles used for the practice of velocross and mountain biking.

Actuellement le vélocross et le vélo tout terrain sont des sports qui se développent considérablement, et il est particulièrement interressant de les pratiquer dans des régions montagneuses, du fait des possibilités offertes pour les descentes en vélocross, Le cycliste doit disposer d'une autonomie totale en cours de traction.Currently velocross and mountain biking are sports that are developing considerably, and it is particularly interesting to practice them in mountainous regions, because of the possibilities offered for downhill cycling, The cyclist must have total autonomy in traction course.

Le dispositif d'accrochage du cycle au cable de traction du remonte-pente doit donc répondre à trois conditions:

  • -Assurer la fiabilité de l'accrochage malgré les secousses et les variations brutales des efforts de traction.
  • -Assurer un départ sans être déséquilibré.
  • -Assurer un décrochage de sécurité automatique, permettre un décrochage par la partie du dispositif fixée au cycle, fonctionnant à l'initiative du cycliste.
The device for attaching the cycle to the cable for pulling the ski lift must therefore meet three conditions:
  • -Ensure the reliability of the grip despite the jolts and sudden variations in the traction forces.
  • -Ensure a departure without being unbalanced.
  • -Ensure an automatic safety stall, allow a stall by the part of the device fixed to the cycle, operating on the initiative of the cyclist.

La sangle souple (16) élastique ou non a fixer sur le cadre ou sur le tube de sellé figure 4 planche 2/8 sous la charge a transporter.La fixation sous la charge évite le déséquilibre du départ permettant ainsi une utilisation de ce système par tous. De plus la sangle étant légèrement plus longue que l'engin à tracter voir figure 4 planche 2/8 et étant fixée au tube de selle sous la chargena tracter l'on a une très grande liberté de mouvement latéralement et verticalement ce qui permet d'évi- sans difficulté les eventuels obstacles trous pierre les variations et les contres pentes ce qui n'est pas le cas des Brevets D E A 1943373 D E A 2334308 FRA 2005450 U S A 3942452 F R A 817879. assurer un décrochage automatique en ces de chute eu de rupture uu cable de commande (12) l'invention est remarquable dans le fait que le relachement de la commande de traction sur le levier (14) soit volontairement, soit par suite de chute entraine d'ori fice le déverrouillage et donc supprime automatiquement le remorquage ce qui n'est pas le cas dans les brevets: D E A 2334308 F R A 2005456 U S A 3942452 F R A 8417879.The flexible strap (16), elastic or not, to be fixed on the frame or on the saddled tube in Figure 4 board 2/8 under the load to be transported. The fixing under the load prevents imbalance from the start, thus allowing use of this system by all. In addition, the strap being slightly longer than the towing machine see Figure 4 board 2/8 and being fixed to the seat tube under the chargena towing, there is very great freedom of movement laterally and vertically which allows without difficulty avoiding possible obstacles, stone holes, variations and counter slopes, which is not the case for Patents DEA 1943373 DEA 2334308 FRA 2005450 USA 3942452 FRA 817879. ensure an automatic stall in the event of a fall or break in a control cable (12), the invention is remarkable in that the release of the traction control on the lever (14) either voluntarily or as a result of a fall causes ori fice the unlocking and therefore automatically eliminates the towing which is not the case in the patents: DEA 2334308 FRA 2005456 USA 3942452 FRA 8417879.

Aucun des dispositifs existants de traction d'engins par les reuionte- pentes ne répond à ces trois conditions:

  • -soit qu'ils n'offrent pas une garantie suffisante contre les secousses infligés à l'engin par les inégalités de la piste et contre les variations brutales des efforts de traction, ce qui est le cas des dispositifs décrits dans les brevets D E A 191 375 et D E A 2334308 F R A 2005456 F R A 8417 879.
  • -Soit qu'ils ne permettent pas le décrochage automatique par le dispositif fixée à l'engin brevets D E A 23343 08 F R A 2005456 U S A 3942452 F R A 8417879.
None of the existing devices for traction of gear by reuiontepentes meets these three conditions:
  • -or that they do not offer a sufficient guarantee against the tremors inflicted on the machine by the unevenness of the track and against sudden variations in the traction forces, which is the case of the devices described in the DEA patents 19 1 375 and DEA 2334308 FRA 2005 456 FRA 8417 879.
  • -Either they do not allow automatic release by the device attached to the patented machine DEA 23343 08 FRA 2005456 USA 3942452 FRA 8417879.
