Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for moving a person according to the preamble of claim 1 and a means of transportation with a
- Another task is to create a self-propelled means of transportation that enables the quickest, most uncomplicated and simple transportation possible.
- a device for moving a person the person being on a movable or mobile surface, which device is characterized in that it has a holding handlebar with handlebars to which the person can hold at least one Impeller, which is located in the area at the opposite end to the handles on the support rod, as well as an electric motor to drive the impeller for the person's locomotion.
- the impeller have a hubless drive.
- the drive is preferably arranged resiliently resiliently mounted in relation to the wheel inside the impeller. The advantage of this resiliently elastic arrangement is that it is much quieter
- Driving style can be achieved compared to the rigid arrangement of the drive in relation to the wheel.
- drive means such as wheels or rollers are provided, which are driven resiliently biased on the inner circumferential surface of the wheel, and the drive is transmitted, for example, by friction or by arranging a toothing.
- a mobile support which is arranged on or in the device so as to be removable in order to accommodate a person for locomotion with the device.
- This pad is with the device over one
- Connection element such as a cord, a cable, a chain, a rod and the like. Connected. It also has at least one, preferably two or more wheel roller rollers or caterpillar-like elements.
- Support at least one plate-shaped element.
- a moving element such as a wheel, preferably being arranged laterally on the outside in the opened state, and the person to be moved has the plate-shaped elements as a mobile base can use.
- a person for locomotion by means of the device according to the invention is not necessarily dependent on using a sports device or a mobile device such as a roller board, roller skates, inline skates, roller blades and the like, but locomotion is also possible without using such a device Device possible through use the mobile documents associated with the device.
- the device proposed according to the invention enables a person to move around without the use of force, since the drive of the device enables movement.
- the use of the sports equipment mentioned is made possible for people who do not have a corresponding physical condition and on the other hand for people who do not want to do without the use of the sports equipment mentioned.
- the handrail provides an additional hold, so that, especially for beginners, the use of the sports equipment mentioned or the mobile pad removed from the device is simplified. Especially with inline skates, roller blades, roller skates and the like. Or even when using the mobile pad connected to the device, the device according to the invention results in an additional mainstay and since the person cannot move it himself, this can be done in a simple manner and how a driving experience can be gained, which in particular makes it much easier to get started with the sports equipment mentioned.
- this device is not limited to use as a sports device, but can be simple, handy and space-saving
- Means of transportation are considered, which can be very useful for getting around, especially in urban areas.
- the device is also quiet, environmentally friendly and emission-free.
- the drive is preferably transmitted via drive wheels or rollers which are resiliently biased against the wheel.
- the operating time of the device can be selected.
- An additional electronic control enables different controls of the motor and thus of the drive element, such as the choice of speed, acceleration, braking, etc. It is also necessary to apply brakes, such as mechanical brakes, in order to enable the device to be stopped quickly. Since the device according to the invention traces the user, the weight of the person additionally acts on the device when braking, so that a short braking distance results.
- a current recovery device is preferably provided, as a result of which current can be recovered when braking or driving downhill. Further preferred embodiment variants of the device according to the invention are in the dependent ones
- the device according to the invention is suitable, for example, as a pulling device for people using the sports equipment mentioned, as a training device, as a learning aid, as a means of transportation per se, etc.
- FIG. 2 shows a further perspective view of the device according to the invention
- FIG. 3a shows the drive in perspective from the and 3b both sides of the impeller
- Fig. 4 arranged in section the drive inside the impeller
- Friction wheel, guide component representing the angular relationships of the drive roller, drive arm and rim.
- a device 1 according to the invention is shown in perspective, comprising a holding, steering or guide rod 3, on which are arranged at the top steering handles 5, on which one can keep moving person.
- a holding, steering or guide rod 3 At the opposite end of the handlebar 3 there is an impeller 7, in the inner opening of which the drive 11 is arranged under a cover 13.
- an impeller 7 At a connector (not visible) there is still a
- Connecting part or a holding rod 33 is arranged, which is connected to the cover 13 or the impeller 7, for example, via a releasable pluggable, screwable or snap-in connection.
- this support rod 33 At the end of this support rod 33, two preferably foldable, plate-like elements 35 are arranged, on each of which, on the outside, carrying the plate-shaped elements 35, two rollers 37 are arranged.
- FIG. 2 shows the same device 1 according to the invention from the other side, again in perspective
- connection of the holding, steering or guide rod 3 to the outer cover or casing 14 can be clearly seen in FIG. 2.
- a connecting or mounting element 6 and a connecting piece 31 are also provided for connecting the handlebar 3 to the cover 14 for the connecting part 33.
- the drive 11 is seen in perspective from both sides of the impeller by omitting the two covers 13 and 14.
- the impeller 7 itself preferably consists of a tubeless or tubed tire arranged on the outside of a rim 8. Inside the rim 8 are resiliently biased to the inner circumferential surface, three running or drive rollers 19 are provided, via which the drive, for example by an electric motor 21, which is transmitted to the rim. The transmission can take place either by friction adhesion or by arranging a toothing.
- the drive 11 itself consists of the mentioned electric motor 21, an electronic control 18 and at least one battery 17, preferably two or more batteries.
- FIG. 4 shows the drive 11 inside the impeller 7 on average without enlargement, further details being evident in FIG. 5.
- the drive wheels 19 can be clearly seen, which are driven, for example, biased against the inner peripheral surface of the rim 8 via a spring element, such as a spring sleeve 23.
- the drive can take place either by frictional grip, for example by the wheels 19 being made from rubber or an elastomeric polymer material, such as from polyurethane, a silicone material or another suitable elastomer.
- the holding webs 24 arranged for holding and pressing the drive wheels 19 are angled with respect to the inner surface of the rim 8, the included angle preferably being of the order of magnitude of approximately 30-50 °.
