Abstract

A cape is used to protect cyclists against the rain. The cape is secured to the bicycle at its lower area in front and/or behind the cyclist by means of front and/or rear intermediate elements. The disclosed rain protection should protect the legs of the cyclist against the rain, even when a light wind is blowing, be easy to handle and safe on the road. For that purpose, the cape is secured to the bicycle well in front and also as far outwards at the back as possible, and as low as required, by means of rectractable or foldable struts (3, 15, 17, 22).

Description

Regenschutzeinrichtung für RadfahrerRain protection device for cyclists
Ausgehend von der deutschen Gebrauchsmusterschrift DE 91 00 727.5 Ul betrifft der Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung eineBased on the German utility model DE 91 00 727.5 Ul, the subject of the present invention relates to a
Regenschutzeinrichtung für Radfahrer unter Verwendung eines Regenumhangs, welcher im unteren Bereich vor und/oder hinter dem Radfahrer über vordere und/oder hintere Zwischenelemente am Fahrrad befestigt ist.Rain protection device for cyclists using a rain cape, which is attached in the lower area in front of and / or behind the cyclist via front and / or rear intermediate elements on the bicycle.
Insbesondere Fig. 1 und die Ansprüche 17 bis 23 dieser be¬ kannten Druckschrift definieren die Wirkungsweise und den Aufbau dieser Regenschutzeinrichtung. Wie sich daraus ent- nehmen läßt, finden ein Umhangoberteil und ein Umhangunter¬ teil Anwendung, welche durch unterbrochene Verbindungen zu einer Einheit zusammengefaßt sind1 and claims 17 to 23 of this known publication define the mode of operation and the construction of this rain protection device. As can be seen from this, an upper cape and a lower cap part are used, which are combined to form a unit by interrupted connections
Weiterhin sind ein vorderer und ein hinterer klappbarer Bo- genrand vorgesehen, die zur Spreizung des Umhangunterteils am unteren Ende dienen. Beide Bogenränder sind über elasti¬ sche und lösbare Verbindungsteile mit dem Umhangunterteil verbunden.Furthermore, a front and a rear foldable sheet edge are provided, which serve to spread the lower part of the cape at the lower end. Both arch edges are connected to the lower part of the cape via elastic and detachable connecting parts.
Anspruch 20 dieser bekannten Druckschrift gibt die Lehre, daß der vordere Bogenrand am vorderen Gepäckträger und der hintere Bogenrand am hinteren Gepäckträger festgelegt wird.Claim 20 of this known document gives the teaching that the front edge of the sheet is fixed to the front rack and the rear edge of the sheet on the rear rack.
Es ergibt sich damit eine Regenschutzeinrichtung, welche im unteren Bereich eine relativ instabile Befestigung zum Fahrrad aufweist, da die beiden Bogenränder aus konstrukti¬ ven Gründen nicht straff mit den entsprechenden Elementen des Fahrrades verbunden werden können. Entsprechend ungenü- gend ist die Schutzfunktion dieser bekannten Regenschut¬ zeinrichtung.The result is a rain protection device which has a relatively unstable attachment to the bicycle in the lower region, since the two arch edges cannot be connected tightly to the corresponding elements of the bicycle for constructional reasons. Accordingly inaccurate the protective function of this known rain protection device is sufficient.
Überdies beeinträchtigt diese Regenschutzeinrichtung die Lenkbarkeit des Fahrrads und damit die Verkehrssicherheit, was aus Folgendem hervorgeht: Die Bogenränder können nicht mit dem Lenker mitdrehen, da sie bei einer Drehbewegung mit den Beinen des Radfahrers in Konflikt kämen. Der Regenum¬ hang wird durch Wind an den Lenker gedrückt. Der Lenker hat üblicherweise keine runde Außenkontur. Außerdem sind an ihm kantige Bremsgriffe montiert. Also ist eine Lenkerdrehbewe¬ gung nur möglich, wenn sich der Regenumhang itbewegt. Dem steht die Fixierung des Regenumhanges an seinem unteren En¬ de entgegen. Der Regenumhang ist aufgrund seiner zweiteili- gen Ausführung und tiefen Befestigung umständlich handhab¬ bar.In addition, this rain protection device affects the steerability of the bicycle and thus the traffic safety, which is evident from the following: The edges of the bow cannot rotate with the handlebar, since they would conflict with the cyclist's legs if they were rotated. The rain cape is pressed against the handlebar by wind. The handlebar usually has no round outer contour. In addition, angular brake handles are mounted on it. So a handlebar rotation is only possible when the rain cape is moving. This is opposed by the fixation of the rain cape at its lower end. Due to its two-part design and deep fastening, the rain cape is difficult to handle.
Herkömmliche Regenumhänge schützen nur ab Oberschenkel auf¬ wärts gegen Regen, da der Fahrtwind den vor den Lenker rei- chenden Teil des Umhangs nach hinten bläst und der Seiten¬ wind den Umhang an den Körper des Radfahrers flattern läßt.Conventional rain cloaks only protect against rain from the thigh upwards, since the wind blows the part of the cloak reaching in front of the handlebars to the rear and the side wind causes the cloak to flutter against the body of the cyclist.
Karosserieartige Vorrichtungen, wie DE 84 36 409 Ul haben ein hohes Gewicht und müssen in ihrer Gestalt auch bei schönem Wetter mitgeführt werden. Die Regenschutzvorrich¬ tung nach DE 35 17 967 AI ist aufwendig und schwer und hat einen hohen Luftwiderstand. Das Rollo von DE 35 26 208 AI vernachlässigt den Beinbereich. Außerdem gibt es Radfahrer, die eine solche Rollokonstruktion als unpraktisch empfin- den.Body-like devices, such as DE 84 36 409 Ul, are heavy and must be carried in their shape even in fine weather. The rain protection device according to DE 35 17 967 AI is complex and heavy and has a high air resistance. The roller blind from DE 35 26 208 AI neglects the leg area. There are also cyclists who find such a roller blind construction to be impractical.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Regenschutzeinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaf- fen, welche bei aerodynamisch günstiger Form funktions- und verkehrssicher mit dem Fahrrad verbunden ist und die Beine - auch bei leichtem Wind - gegen Regen schützt. Die Regen¬ schutzeinrichtung soll es erlauben, eine Hand seitlich her- auszustrecken und nach oben bis zum Kopf zu führen. Außer¬ dem soll die Verwendung eines Korbes vor dem Lenker und von seitlich hängenden Gepäcktaschen möglich sein und die un¬ eingeschränkte Nutzung des Gepäckträgers.The present invention has for its object to provide a rain protection device of the type mentioned fen, which is connected to the bicycle in a functionally and traffic-safe manner in an aerodynamically favorable form and protects the legs against rain - even in light winds. The rain protection device is intended to allow one hand to be stretched out sideways and to be raised up to the head. In addition, it should be possible to use a basket in front of the handlebars and luggage bags hanging to the side and the unrestricted use of the luggage rack.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daßThis object is achieved in that
„die vorderen und hinteren, als Streben ausgebildeten, beidseitig des Fahrrads angeordneten Zwischenelemente aus jeweils einer arretierten Ruhestellung in eine ar- retierte, vom Fahrrad weg gerichtete ArbeitsStellung schwenkbar sind und daß der Regenumhang jeweils an den Enden der Zwi¬ schenelemente befestigbar ist.""The front and rear intermediate elements, which are designed as struts and are arranged on both sides of the bicycle, can be pivoted from a locked rest position into a locked working position directed away from the bicycle, and that the rain cape can be attached to the ends of the intermediate elements."
Eine Anordnung gemäß dem nachfolgenden Ausführungsbeispiel schützt bei nicht extremen Windverhältnissen bis hinunter zu den Knöcheln. Der Regenumhang ist sowohl weit vorne als auch hinten möglichst weit außen und so tief wie nötig am Fahrrad befestigbar. Die Befestigung der Zwischenelemente an der Sattelstütze hat den Vorteil, daß die Ausbildung des Regenumhangs nur von der Körpergröße abhängt, nicht aber auch von der Rahmenhöhe bzw. daß die Ausbildung der Zwi¬ schenelemente unabhängig von der Körpergröße und der Rah¬ menhöhe ist.An arrangement according to the following exemplary embodiment protects down to the ankles in non-extreme wind conditions. The rain cape can be attached to the bike as far out as possible and as deep as necessary both in the front and in the back. The attachment of the intermediate elements to the seat post has the advantage that the formation of the rain cape depends only on the body size, but not also on the frame height or that the formation of the intermediate elements is independent of the body size and the frame height.
Eine erfindungsgemäße Anordnung und Ausbildung der Zwi¬ schenelemente mit Berücksichtigung eines vor dem Lenker be¬ findlichen Korbes ist im Folgenden beschrieben. Es wird nur auf die linke Seite des Fahrrads eingegangen. Die rechte Seite ist symmetrisch dazu.An arrangement and design of the intermediate elements according to the invention, taking into account a basket located in front of the handlebar, is described below. It will only entered the left side of the bike. The right side is symmetrical.
Fig. 1: Der Regenumhang reicht nach vorne über einen Korb. Der vorne, unten angebrachte Haken 2 verhindert, daß der Regenumhang unter dem Korb nach hinten gezogen wird. Das vordere Zwischenelement ist als Strebe 3 ausgebildet und seitlich am Korb angebracht. Der Regenumhang ist mit einem Druckknopf 4 an der Strebe 3 befestigt. Das hintere Zwi- schenelement 5 ist abgewinkelt und an der Sattelstütze be¬ festigt. Bei 6a ist ein Gummiseil mit dem Regenumhang ver¬ bunden. Das hinteren Ende des Gummiseils ist als Schlaufe ausgebildet und am Zwischenelement 5 bei 6 eingehängt.Fig. 1: The rain cape extends forward over a basket. The front hook 2 attached below prevents the rain cape from being pulled back under the basket. The front intermediate element is designed as a strut 3 and attached to the side of the basket. The rain cape is attached to the strut 3 with a push button 4. The rear intermediate element 5 is angled and fastened to the seat post. At 6a, a rubber rope is connected to the rain cape. The rear end of the rubber rope is designed as a loop and is attached to the intermediate element 5 at 6.
Fig. 3 zeigt die Strebe 3 und ein Lagerteil 8, das am Korb 9 angebracht ist, von vorne gesehen. 7 ist die Achse eines Gelenkes, über das die Strebe 3 mit dem Lagerteil 8 verbun¬ den ist. Die Strebe 3 ist nach vorne einklappbar.Fig. 3 shows the strut 3 and a bearing part 8, which is attached to the basket 9, seen from the front. 7 is the axis of a joint via which the strut 3 is connected to the bearing part 8. The strut 3 can be folded forward.
Fig.4 ist die Draufsicht auf Fig. 3 aus Richtung A ohne Darstellung des Korbes. Der Stößel 10 ist in Längsrichtung der Strebe 3 bewegbar und wird durch eine Druckfeder 11 (Fig. 3) in eine Einkerbung des Lagerteils 8 gedrückt. An der Stelle 12 liegt die Strebe 3 am Lagerteil 8 an. Dadurch kann die Strebe nicht nach hinten schwenken. Um die Strebe 3 nach vorne in Richtung B einzuklappen, muß die Federkraft überwunden werden, damit der Stößel 10 durch die Flanke 13 der Einkerbung in die Strebe 3 hineingedrückt wird. Ist die Strebe 3 nach vorne, am Korb anliegend eingeklappt, so liegt der Stößel 10 in der Kerbe 14 des Lagerteils 8. Ein Ausklappen der Strebe 3 ist ebenfalls nur mit Überwindung der Federkraft möglich. In Fig. 5, 6 und 7 sind einige Konturen, die wegen der schräg im Raum stehenden Achsen auftreten und zum Verständ¬ nis nicht unbedingt notwendig sind, nicht dargestellt.Fig. 4 is the top view of Fig. 3 from direction A without showing the basket. The plunger 10 is movable in the longitudinal direction of the strut 3 and is pressed into a notch in the bearing part 8 by a compression spring 11 (FIG. 3). At position 12, the strut 3 rests on the bearing part 8. As a result, the strut cannot swing backwards. In order to fold the strut 3 forward in direction B, the spring force must be overcome so that the plunger 10 is pressed into the strut 3 by the flank 13 of the notch. If the strut 3 is folded forward, lying against the basket, the plunger 10 lies in the notch 14 of the bearing part 8. The strut 3 can also be folded out only by overcoming the spring force. 5, 6 and 7, some contours which occur because of the inclined axes in space and which are not absolutely necessary for understanding are not shown.
Fig. 5 zeigt das hintere Zwischenelement 5 (Fig. 1) in aus¬ geklappten Zustand von vorne und Fig. 6 die Ansicht von oben. In Fig.6 ist die Kontur des Sattels punktiert ge¬ zeichnet, ebenso das Zwischenelement in eingeklapptem Zu¬ stand. Es verschwindet fast vollständig unter dem Sattel.5 shows the rear intermediate element 5 (FIG. 1) in the unfolded state from the front and FIG. 6 shows the view from above. The contour of the saddle is drawn in dotted lines in FIG. 6, as is the intermediate element in the folded state. It almost completely disappears under the saddle.
Fig. 5 und 6: Das Zwischenelement 5 (Fig. 1) besteht aus drei aneinandergereihten Streben. Davon ist die Innenstrebe 15 starr an der Sattelstütze 16 angeschellt. Die Strebe 17 ist um die Achse 18 nach vorne einklappbar. Um die Strebe 17 ausgeklappt zu arretieren, hat der Stößel 19 eine direkt auf die Achse 18 hingerichtete Flanke. Mit Ausnahme dieser Flanke ist der Schwenkmechanismus genauso wie bei dem vor¬ deren Zwischenelement (Fig. 3 und 4) . Der Stößel 19 hat ei¬ ne durch die Strebe 17 hindurch nach außen reichende Aus- formung 20, mit deren Hilfe er nach außen geschoben werden kann, was das Einklappen der Strebe 17 ermöglicht. Vom äu¬ ßeren Ende der Strebe 17 führt eine weitere Strebe 22 nach außen und unten. Sie ist um die Achse 21 nach innen und oben in Richtung 0 einklappbar. Der Lagermechanismus ein- schließlich Arretierung ist analog zum vorderen Zwi¬ schenelement (Fig. 3 und 4) . Am äußeren Ende der Strebe 22 - ist gleich Punkt 6 in Fig. 1 - kann das Gummiseil 7 (Fig. 1) eingehängt werden.5 and 6: The intermediate element 5 (Fig. 1) consists of three struts strung together. The inner strut 15 is rigidly clamped on the seat post 16. The strut 17 can be folded forward about the axis 18. In order to arrest the strut 17 when unfolded, the plunger 19 has a flank which is directly directed onto the axis 18. With the exception of this flank, the swivel mechanism is the same as for the intermediate element (FIGS. 3 and 4). The plunger 19 has a shape 20 which extends outwards through the strut 17 and by means of which it can be pushed outwards, which enables the strut 17 to be folded in. From the outer end of the strut 17, another strut 22 leads outwards and downwards. It can be folded inwards about axis 21 and upwards in direction 0. The bearing mechanism including the lock is analogous to the front intermediate element (FIGS. 3 and 4). At the outer end of the strut 22 - is the same as point 6 in Fig. 1 - the rubber rope 7 (Fig. 1) can be hung.
Fig. 7 zeigt das hintere Zwischenelement in eingeklapptem Zustand. Damit die Strebe 17, die einen Schwenkwinkel α > 90° (Fig. 6) aufweist, in eingeklapptem Zustand horizontal liegt, ist die Achse 18 oben nach vorne geneigt. Mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 7 wird es möglich, eine Hand seitlich herauszustrecken und nach oben bis zum Kopf zu führen. Die überlappten Schlitze 23 (Fig. 1) sind etwa neben dem Ellenbogen oder etwas darunter - bei hängendem Arm. Die Schlitzhöhe H braucht nicht wesentlich größer zu sein als der Durchmesser eines bekleideten Armes. Die ge¬ ringe Schlitzhöhe hat den Vorteil, daß man mit einer eben¬ falls geringen Überlappung auskommt. Bei heben eines Armes bewegt sich das obere Ende des Schlitzes bis zur Spitze des Pfeiles 24 und der Befestigungspunkt 6a des Gummiseils zur Spitze des Pfeiles 25. Der Regenumhang ist lose um das Gum¬ miseil 7 herumgeführt, damit er zwar nach unten und außen gehalten ist, aber eine Ausdehnung des Gummiseils zuläßt. Eine geraffte Verbindung würde mehr Stoff verbrauchen, seitlich Falten ergeben und der Regenumhang hätte zusammen¬ gelegt ein größeres Volumen. Fig. 7 shows the rear intermediate element in the folded state. So that the strut 17, which has a swivel angle α> 90 ° (FIG. 6), lies horizontally in the folded state, the axis 18 is inclined forward at the top. With the features of claim 7, it is possible to reach out a hand sideways and to lead up to the head. The overlapped slots 23 (Fig. 1) are approximately next to the elbow or slightly below - with a hanging arm. The slot height H need not be much larger than the diameter of a covered arm. The low slot height has the advantage that a slight overlap is also required. When one arm is raised, the upper end of the slot moves up to the tip of arrow 24 and the attachment point 6a of the rubber rope to the tip of arrow 25. The rain cape is loosely guided around the rubber rope 7 so that it is held downwards and outwards , but allows the rubber cord to expand. A shirred connection would consume more material, folds laterally and the rain cape would have a larger volume when folded.
