Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wheel board with propulsion usable in particular for leisure.
- Skateboards are already known, but from time to time, one of the user's feet must leave the surface of the board to boost speed.
- the applicant has developed a new type of wheelboard, the principle of which is to transform the energy supplied to the board during jumps by the user to allow rapid advancement of the system, avoiding '' to push on the ground with the foot
- a wheel board comprising a preferably central wheel with a diameter ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 m mounted on a free wheel, said central wheel being mounted on an axle located on an arm. (hereinafter the first arm) pivoting vertically installed on the board, said central wheel being mounted in free wheel and being driven by a drum around which is wound a strip which is fixed to said drum by a first end and which is connected to the board by its second end, said drum being provided with a return device so that, when the board is not loaded, the central wheel is in the low position relative to said board and said strip is wound around the drum of the wheel.
- a wheel board according to the invention optionally further comprises rollers.
- the pivot axis of the arm is preferably installed at one end of the pivoting arm, and the axis of the wheel towards the other end.
- the strip is connected to the board not directly but by means of a second vertically pivoting arm installed on the board.
- a wheel board above comprising in addition a second pivoting arm vertically installed on the board, said strip being connected to the board by means of said second pivoting arm.
- the second end of the strip can be fixed to said second pivoting arm, or not, for example to increase the length of the strip as will be seen below.
- a pulley is provided at the second end of the second pivoting arm to constitute a return of the strip, in particular for fixing it directly to the board and thus considerably increasing the length of the strip and therefore the potential speed.
- the first arm is provided with an additional return device so that, when the board is not loaded, the drum return device is helped to bring the central wheel in the low position relative to said board and facilitate the winding of said strip around the drum of the wheel.
- said second arm is also provided with a return device so that, when the board is not loaded, the central wheel is brought back to the low position relative to said board and said strip is wound more easily around the drum of the wheel.
- the return device is installed only on said second arm.
- the return device is a mechanism for winding the strip such as a spiral spring.
- the first arm is connected to the second arm by a lug such as a link preferably installed between the second end of the first pivoting arm and the middle of the second arm swivel.
- the wheel board also comprises, at the front and at the rear, swivel castors like a conventional skateboard.
- the wheel board then comprises axles which can change orientation under the effect of the lateral tilt of the board.
- Wheels such as those used on supermarket shopping carts can also be used. They also react by turning fors of a change of inclination of the board. But unlike wheels mounted on conventional skateboards, they are independent.
- the strip is wound around a drum fixed to the wheel.
- the drum replaces the conventional cassette for bikes at one or more speeds and is fitted with a return device.
- the return device advantageously comprises a spiral spring (of the clock type), of appropriate power.
- the band can for example be a chain, a cable, and preferably a strap.
- the width of the above wheel board is advantageously 004/030774
- An anti-slip coating is advantageously provided on its upper surface.
- a braking system can advantageously be provided, to allow the user to avoid an obstacle or quite simply to stop. It can in particular act on the wheel, on the casters, or rub on the ground.
- the height travel of the wheel board of the invention is advantageously adjusted between 0.10 m and 0.32 m, preferably between 0.13 m and 0.28 m, in particular between 0.15 m and 0 , 25 m, especially between 0.17 m and 0.23 m.
- the diameter of the wheel is advantageously between 0.25 m and 0.45 m, preferably between 0.28 m and 0.40 m, in particular between 0.30 m and 0.40 m, very particularly between 0.32 m and 0.37 m.
- one or more of the parts which can be doubled are doubled, on either side of the wheel Both for reasons of balance and of solidity and efficiency.
- the above wheelboard advantageously comprises two freewheels, two first arms, two second arms, two links, two bands etc.
- the arms of the same pair are then preferably mounted on a single shaft and are joined to be interdependent; the wheel axle is also unique.
- the above wheel board advantageously comprises an energy storage system. So the user can pump for a few moments, then let himself roll.
- a spring for example, which accumulates the energy supplied by the user like a clockwork spiral spring to restore it more slowly.
- the above wheel board advantageously includes foot-straps preferably in an open arc on the side of the wheel to allow clearance foot fast. The foot however remains well blocked by spreading the legs.
- the wheel board according to the invention can be used as follows: 2004/030774
- a free wheel is provided. And as the strip must be wound when the arms descend, for example a return spring of the drum on which the strip is wound ensures the return thereof.
- the freewheel is a combined freewheel. It preferably includes two additional roller cages.
- the wheel boards object of the present invention have very interesting qualities.
- FIG. 1 represents a profile view of a board according to the invention in which the wheel is in the low position relative to the board.
- 2 shows a side view of a board according to the invention in which the wheel is in the high position relative to the board.
- Figure 3 shows a perspective bottom view of a board according to the invention.
- Figure 4 shows a diametrical sectional view of the wheel installed on its axis.
- FIG 1 there is a board 1 having a wheel 2 mounted on two free wheels.
- the wheel 2, 40 mm wide and 350 mm in diameter, is mounted on an axle 3 located on a first arm 4.
- This first arm 4 can pivot vertically around a shaft 5 provided at a first end 6 of said first pivoting arm 4 fixed on board 1.
- Shaft 5 is installed in a bearing fitted with self-lubricating bearings.
- a connecting rod 7 connected in the middle of a second pivoting arm 8 in the shape of L.
- the first end 9 of said second pivoting arm, located on the small branch of the L, is pivotally articulated around 'a shaft 10 fixed on the board 1.
- the shaft 10 is also installed in a bearing provided with self-lubricating bearings.
- This board has been provided at the front and at the rear with wheels 13 in articulated tandem with "skateboard” type called “trucks”.
- Rubber stops 14 have been provided under the board 1 to prevent the pivoting arms 4,8 from violently striking the board.
- foot blocks 15 in a closed arc. They can be provided rigid and open on the inside (wheel side) to allow quick release of the foot.
- the lower branches of the pivoting arms 4,8 are substantially parallel to the ground, which makes it possible to optimize the ground clearance of the wheel board according to the invention.
- the rubber stops 14 find their justification.
- a drum 16 on which is mounted a spiral spring On the one hand, a drum 16 on which is mounted a spiral spring, and, on the other hand, a drum 17 on which is installed a strip (not shown).
- Such drums are found symmetrically on the other side of the wheel as can best be seen in FIG. 4. 004/030774
- a first spiral spring 19 is installed on one side of the wheel in its drum 16. This drum drives the drive drum 17,20 around which is wound a strip 11 (not shown). These two drums are mounted on a combined freewheel 21 which allows the wheel to be driven during traction on the strip 11 and allows the freewheel to rotate in particular during the unwinding of said strip 11 under the effect of the spiral spring. 19.
