Description

Switchable Seitenabstützvorrichtung for two-wheelers and their use and method for coupling the Seitenabstützvorrichtung to a Antriebszugmittel the

Two-wheeled TECHNICAL AREA

The present invention relates to a Seitenab supporting device for two-wheelers, which works in the simplest possible way. Furthermore, the present invention relates to their use on a vehicle having at least one wheel, in particular a bicycle. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a method for (motion) coupling the Seitenab support device to a Antriebszugmittel the two-wheeler, in particular for connecting a functionality of Seitenab support device. In particular, the invention relates to an apparatus and a method according to the preamble of the respective independent claim. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Riding two-wheelers means a certain amount of risk, especially on smooth, slippery surfaces, or in heavy traffic, or when the driver is rather weak, frail and / or inattentive or inexperienced or simply overwhelmed in certain situations. With decreasing speed, every bicycle becomes unstable. In the state it tilts to one side. There is therefore a need in various applications to make a bicycle safer, in particular with regard to balance and stability, stability, tipping stability, and to ensure even at low speeds or in specific situations a more stable driving. There is also interest in simplifying the handling of the bicycle when frequently stopped. Ultimately, it is not just about safety, but also about high driving comfort, for example, for older people.

The object is to provide a device and a method, whereby the two-wheel drive with high security and possibly also high comfort can be made possible. It is also an object to give a bicycle, in particular a bicycle, a more stable standing or driving behavior, in particular at the request of the driver. Not least, it is an object to provide a device and a method for supporting a bicycle so that the functionality of the support can be easily retrieved, even in the event that the bicycle or the driver is in a precarious situation. Robustness is there also of interest. Ultimately, the simplest possible integration or retrofitting should be possible with two-wheelers.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

At least one of these objects is achieved by a Seitenab support device according to claim 1 and by a method according to the independent method claim. Advantageous developments of the invention are explained in the respective subclaims. The features of the exemplary embodiments described below can be combined with one another, unless this is explicitly denied.

Provided is a Seitenab support device for two-wheelers, set up for permanent mounting on the bicycle and for lateral support of the two-wheeled stand with or without driver or while driving, the Seitenab supporting device has at least one Seitenstandwerk with at least one support wheel, which support wheel positionable in at least one height position is. According to the invention it is proposed that the Seitenab support device in its function is switched on and off and coupled to the jockey wheel transmission device which is set up in response to or in response to an input of the driver or an automated control target for positioning the jockey wheel in at least two height positions comprising at least one extended Ab support height position and at least one retracted height position for non-support

Riding the bicycle.

This allows the use of the jockey wheel in a variety of situations, be it while driving, be it in the state. The height positions can be selected depending on the driving situation, or it can be easily switched between the height positions, in particular by means of a example on a handlebar of the bicycle accessible actuator. The driver can then decide spontaneously if a support function is desired or not. The individual height positions can be adjusted stepwise or continuously between a highest (retracted) and a lowest (extended) height position, whereby also a difference of eg ± 5cm between the height positions of opposite side stands can be adjusted. In particular, it is no longer necessary to descend from the bicycle, either at low speeds, be it in the state. This also allows power savings. Such a device can also be used to stabilize the braking behavior. The danger of falling is considerably reduced.

Whether in the context of two-wheelers for the elderly or ill, whether in the context of bicycles for everyday use, the Seitenab support device provides the benefits of the driving style and agile handling of conventional two-wheelers, especially without the high track width of three-wheelers with a fixed chassis.

The Seitenab support device may have a cooperating with the transmission device holding clamp, in particular as a component of a traction mechanism kinematics or a cable system. The retaining clip may in particular comprise a housing in which a spring-guided, preferably beveled bolt is arranged, which is arranged frontally of a boom of a Seitenstandwerks, and is mounted biased against it. The bolt is arranged and adapted to engage the boom or to cooperate with a free end of the boom. The bolt may be coupled to a cable of the cable system. The Seitenab support device may have cooperating with the transmission device fixing terminal, in particular as a component of a traction mechanism kinematics. The fixing clamp may in particular comprise a housing in which a spring-guided, preferably bevelled bolt is arranged, which is arranged frontally of at least one plate of the transmission device, and is mounted biased against it. The bolt may be coupled to a cable of a cable system.

The bicycle can e.g. also be a bicycle with electric drive. Together with the Seitenab support device can then be provided a very comfortable, roadworthy and stable two-wheeler especially for older people.

As a coupling is to be understood preferably a process in which machine elements or components are temporarily brought into operative connection with each other, ie a connectable or disconnectable mechanical connection. As a coupling or a coupling is to be understood preferably a permanently existing connection or an operative connection between a plurality of components, which coupling does not necessarily require a coupling. In particular, the transmission device can be coupled redundantly to a plurality of side stands. A coupling can take place at least partially in a mechanical or non-mechanical manner, in particular also purely electrically. As a redundant coupling is preferably a coupling with at least two Seitenstand works to understand which Seitenstandwerke are provided on the same side or on opposite sides of the bicycle. A redundant coupling is to be understood as a coupling with at least two strands for forwarding a drive / driven movement to the respective side stands or support wheels.

In this case, a kinetic or kinematic operative connection between a plurality of components is to be understood as a movement coupling, which coupling leads to the use and forwarding of an input / output movement. According to the invention, a

Motion coupling between a two-wheel drive train and a respective support wheel done. A movement coupling can also take place between a pedaling movement of the driver and the height positioning. This too is a central aspect of the present invention: the driver himself has the power and control over the entire mechanism, in particular by a movement that the driver performs anyway. The drive movement or movement may be inherently provided by the standard operation of the bicycle. Effect: no habituation, intuitive operation, high sense of security, good control, great confidence. All this leads to a device that is intuitive to control and makes two-wheel drive noticeably easier without the driver having to get used to it. The charm of the motion coupling according to the invention also consists in the fact that when driving off without additional operations, the respective side stand factory can be retracted / pulled up again. Setting or starting the height positions can be done by pedaling or by pressing the Antriebszugmittels, in particular exclusively. This can ensure easy operation.

According to one embodiment, the Seitenab support device is adapted for mounting on a luggage rack and / or on a wheel axle of the two-wheeler. This delivers besides the Possibility of intervention in a two-wheeled drive train means also a comparatively stable, robust support.

At least one of the height positions can also be arranged below the bearing surface of the (rear) wheel of the two-wheeler. The support wheels can therefore be extended so deep that the (rear) wheel is raised. This can e.g. be advantageous for repairs on the (rear) wheel. The positioning of the support wheels in a height position lower than the (rear) wheel can be assisted in particular by purely by means of spring bias extending support wheels, that the (rear) wheel is manually raised or at least partially relieved.

According to one embodiment, the transmission device is configured to transmit a drive movement of a two-wheeled drive train means to the at least one side stand. This allows positioning without additional energy sources. The applied by the driver or an electric motor tractive force for driving the bicycle can also be used for positioning of training wheels.

According to one embodiment, the Seitenab support device is adapted for positioning the support wheel in at least one of the at least two height positions, in particular in the support height position, by cooperation of the transmission device with a Zweirad- Antriebzugmittel, in particular with a bicycle chain, especially while driving. This makes it possible to extend or extend the respective support wheel while driving, in particular against a spring force. A movement opposite to the spring force can then be done either alone based on a spring force. This saves a kinematic reversal, and the entire arrangement can remain relatively simple and weight-saving.

According to one embodiment, the Seitenab supporting device has a Zugmittel- kinematics set up for positioning the support wheel in at least one of the height positions by reversible temporary coupling of the transmission device to a Zweirad- Antriebzugmittel, in particular to a bicycle chain. This allows spontaneous activation or deactivation of the support function. According to one exemplary embodiment, the traction mechanism kinematics can be coupled manually to the two-wheel drive traction means by means of an actuating device, in particular by means of an actuating lever arranged on a handlebar of the two-wheeled vehicle. This facilitates handling, especially for old people. Robustness can also be ensured by the fact that can be dispensed with electronic switch or display, which facilitates the intuitive operation, especially for old people.

According to one embodiment, the Seitenab support device, in particular the transmission device at least two functionalities from the following group ready motion coupling of the movement of a Zweirad- Antriebzugmittels with an actuating movement of at least one support wheel, coupling a manual actuator to a two-wheel drive train means for switching the transmission device, elastic spring mounting for resiliently positioning the support wheel in at least one actuating movement direction, elastic prestressing of at least one spring of the side support device in a first actuating movement direction and spring-elastic

Actuating movement in a second actuating movement direction. This provides a versatile way of coupling.

According to one embodiment, at least one functionality of the Seitenab support device from the following group is switchable: elastic spring bias induced by a movement of a Zweirad-Antriebszugmittels, resilient return movement by unlocking a positive and / or non-positive trigger mechanism, displacing at least one support wheel in a first Stellbewegungsrichtung and / or second Stellbewegungsrichtung by a two-wheel drive train means. This also makes it possible to buffer energy and retrieve it when needed, so that an actuating movement with high

Safety and reliability are also available in hectic situations.

According to one exemplary embodiment, at least one release mechanism or at least one pivoting movement of a traction mechanism kinematics of the lateral support device and / or the functionality of the transmission device can be switched to spring-loaded, in particular one adjusting movement and / or one return movement for positioning the support wheel in the respective height position. This also enables fast, at least partially automated movements, with robust mechanics. According to one embodiment, the Seitenab support device on a traction mechanism kinematics, which is coupled to the transmission device such that the Seitenab support device is set up for a movement coupling between a Zweirad- Antriebzugmittel and the support wheel. This provides a drive sträng, which can be easily integrated into any two-wheeler, especially can be retrofitted.

According to one embodiment, the Seitenabstützvorrichtung is adapted for a motion coupling between / a Zweirad- Antriebzugmittel and at least one height position by means of a drive train at least comprising / in the Zweirad- Antriebzugmittel engaging gear shaft, one / driven by the transmission shaft cable pull shaft, and / a displaceable by means of the cable shaft pressure pin to release a release mechanism, in particular in this drive sequence for the motion coupling in series in this order, in particular coupled with an attacking on at least one trigger mechanism actuator. This provides a high degree of automation.

According to one embodiment, one or more of the traction mechanism kinematics of the side support device cooperating with the transmission device has two plates connected to one another via a hinge, by means of which the transmission device can be shifted. The plates allow a robust mechanism and a precisely definable position change, especially in the range of centimeters or millimeters. In particular, at least one of the plates can be displaced in a simple manner by a prestressed element, which is pressed against the plate, for initiating an adjusting movement of the

Traction means kinematics.

When using plates, there is also the advantage that only a small number of components is required. The hinge provides the advantage that only three components are required. The kinematics remain slim and robust. In particular, can be dispensed with guides or guide components, eg with regard to a leadership of the shaft. In this case, an adjustment movement can generally be understood to mean a movement of one of the components of the side support device initiated by the side support device, for example a movement of one of the components of a traction mechanism, in particular also the ultimately desired movement of the support wheel. As a return movement, the respective opposite movement can be understood, in particular a retraction, retraction or upward movement of the respective support wheel in a retracted height position.

According to one embodiment, the traction mechanism kinematics two connected to each other via a hinge plates, of which at least one with a spring bolt or

Pressure pin of Seitenab support device cooperates. This allows an actuating movement by pivoting at least one of the plates about the hinge. In addition to advantages in terms of compact design, there are also opportunities to store at least one of the plates biased.

According to one embodiment, one / the traction mechanism kinematics of the side support device cooperating with the transmission device has a pivoting or folding mechanism arranged for coupling the transmission device to a two-wheel drive traction means. Not least, this provides good flexibility in the design of Seitenab support device. For example, the transmission device can be designed specifically for one side of the bicycle, and then installed redundantly on both sides, wherein the traction mechanism is arranged for coupling both transmission devices, in particular for at least partially or at least with respect to a direction of synchronism synchronous synchronization of the support wheels arranged on both sides ,

According to one embodiment, one or more traction mechanism kinematics of the side support device cooperating with the transmission device has two hingedly mounted plates arranged for positioning at least one pinion in and out of engagement with a two-wheel drive traction means. The definition of an adjusting movement by means of at least one plate not least also provides high accuracy and robustness.

According to one embodiment, one or more of the traction mechanism kinematics of the side support device cooperating with the transmission device comprises at least one a shift stroke or an actuating movement of 1 to 2cm (translational and / or rotational) displaceable plate for switching the transmission device, in particular a spring-mounted displaceable in the vertical direction plate. On the one hand, a switching stroke of such magnitude provides short switching paths and short switching times; on the other hand, a sufficiently deep engagement or a sufficiently wide spacing of the pinion from the moving, possibly oscillating chain during decoupling can be ensured. In this case, the plate can be displaced translationally and / or rotationally in order to produce or adjust the switching stroke.

According to one exemplary embodiment, the transmission device and / or the traction mechanism kinematics of the side support device has at least one spring element arranged for coupling the transmission device, in particular for coupling with a two-wheel drive traction device. A spring element can provide good robustness, freedom from maintenance or even good actuating force, and can be integrated into the overall system in an advantageous manner. According to one embodiment, the transmission device has a drive pinion mounted on a plate of the transmission device and configured for coupling with a two-wheeled drive train means. This provides an advantageous arrangement with respect to the other components of the transmission device and the traction mechanism kinematics. Preferably, the drive pinion is arranged on a dome on top of the plate so that a spring-loaded element by cooperation with the dome a switching stroke or a

Actuate movement of the drive pinion can cause. The shift stroke is initiated especially in this variant by an external force acting on the plate pressure force.

According to one embodiment, the transmission device has a drive pinion, a traction means, in particular a chain, and at least one further pinion and a cable shaft and is adapted for (Los-) coupling the cable shaft of a / the two-wheel drive train, in particular by means of a cable release. This allows not only a simple operation and manually operable motion coupling and a translation. The cable release can be integrated in a brake lever or coupled thereto.

The movement coupling of the movement of the two-wheel drive train means with the adjusting movement of at least one support wheel can also be realized in connection with a return-free function (free-wheeling upon withdrawal). The return free function is preferably provided on or with one / the other transmission shaft, ie on a shaft which rotatably cooperates with a guided via a / the cable shaft traction means. An anti-reverse function provides the advantage that in extended state only in one direction of a pedal movement, an interaction with the Seitenab support device takes place (retraction of the Seitenstandwerke), especially when moving forward or when driving off, but not in the other direction (backwards or brakes). Such a return free function (freewheel on withdrawal) is particularly advantageous if the bicycle has no resignation brake, but already has a freewheel on withdrawal. This freewheel can then be realized in the Seitenab support device, so that the function of the two-wheeler is not affected restrictive.

According to one exemplary embodiment, the side support device has a cable pull system coupled to the transmission device and thereby to the at least one support wheel, by means of which the at least two height positions can be set by a driver, in particular also while driving. This not least facilitates the operation. The operation of the Seitenab support device can optionally be done completely in a mechanical and manual manner.

According to one embodiment, a / the cable system of Seitenab support device is coupled to a brake or a brake lever of the bicycle, in particular by means of the brake lever actuated. This also provides an advantageous integration into existing components on a two-wheeler.

According to one embodiment, a pulley system of the side-to-side support device with one of the traction mechanism kinematics is arranged to be positioned in at least one of

Height positions combined by reversible temporary coupling to a Zweirad- Antriebszugmittel together. This provides not only high robustness but also flexibility, be it with regard to the arrangement of the individual components, be it with regard to operation / actuation. According to one embodiment, the Seitenab supporting device has a

Housing device adapted to receive the (respective) Seitenstandwerks, which can be arranged laterally on a wheel of the bicycle for receiving the support wheel in the retracted height position above the ground contact point of the wheel, in particular at least 20cm above the ground contact point. This provides protection and structure or stability for the individual components.

According to one embodiment, a housing device of the side support device is configured to receive and support the transmission device and one of the traction mechanism kinematics of the side support device. This makes it possible to absorb the forces occurring in the housing device when switching and when forwarding forces and moments. The driving behavior of the two-wheeler remains unaffected. According to one embodiment, the housing device is configured to receive at least two support wheels on both sides of a wheel of the bicycle in at least one of the height positions. This provides the aforementioned advantages even with double-sided or redundant design of the support wheels. According to one embodiment, the side stand on a spring-mounted stand arm, in particular a spring-mounted on both sides at two free ends stand train arm. A preloaded bearing provides the advantage of a short reaction time and also a simple way of triggering the motion coupling. A bearing biased on both sides around a joint provides the advantage of a symmetrical force introduction and low susceptibility to failure or high robustness. Two springs preferably engage on the support arm, in particular for the purpose of high spring force, stability and parallel guidance. Optionally, only one spring can be used, in particular in a centric arrangement, and / or an elastic band. According to one embodiment, the side stand at least one spring, in particular tension spring in function as a biasing member for positioning of the support wheel, in particular attacking on / a stand arm of the side stand. This simplifies in particular the automatic extension of a support wheel. The positioning is preferably done only with the help of the spring force, so purely spring-driven, until the wheel impinges on the ground. Damping is not necessarily provided. The deepest, furthest extended height position can be specified by a tooth line, in particular comprising a stop. The arrangement or length of the toothing line can also define the range of adjustable height positions. According to one embodiment, the side stand comprises two spring bolts, one of which is arranged and adapted to cooperate with at least one plate of the traction mechanism kinematics, and of which the other is arranged and adapted to cooperate with a lock of a tooth line or a latching means. This provides a kinematically advantageous interaction between the individual components.

According to one embodiment, a pulley shaft of the side support apparatus is configured to couple two support wheels, which can be arranged on both sides of a wheel of the two-wheeler, of at least two side stands of the side support apparatus. In this way, a drive movement of a drive-traction means can be distributed redundantly or at least two-stranded in a simple manner on at least two side stands.

According to one embodiment, the cable shaft is mounted on four bearings. This provides a stable storage with the possibility of coupling. The respective pulleys can also be set up for tightening and guiding the pull rope. The respective cable can be guided by a flexible jacket channel from an actuating lever to the input of a / the housing device. According to one embodiment, the cable pull shaft on a pinion, which by means of a

Traction means, in particular a chain is coupled to a / the pinion of the transmission device. This allows the rotationally fixed coupling of the cable shaft to a rotational movement of an input / output pinion of the transmission device. According to one embodiment, the cable pull shaft has three cable worms. This provides good order and reduces the risk of errors due to improperly guided ropes. The cable worms can keep the respective cable pre-tensioned ready. The cable worms can each be designed in the manner of two disks mounted on one another with a connecting shaft lying therebetween, on which shaft the cable can be wound up.

According to one embodiment, the side stand on a cantilever by spring arm, whose position to the height position of the at least one Support wheel is coupled, and which cooperates with at least one positive-action release mechanism, in particular with a locking means. This also provides great flexibility in the arrangement and interaction of the individual components. According to one embodiment, the Seitenabstützvorrichtung has at least one

Cable tensioning device adapted for length compensation and for tensioning at least two cables acting on a cable pull shaft of the side support device, in particular of three cables. As a result, a different working length (stroke) in the individual ropes can be compensated. Also, a certain bias in each rope can be ensured. This not least increases the robustness and operational safety.

According to one embodiment, the Seitenabstützvorrichtung three Seilzugspanner each set up for tensioning and length compensation of an attacking on the cable shaft rope. This allows a robust, reliable handling of a plurality of ropes, which are differently elongated or loaded.

According to one embodiment, the Seitenabstützvorrichtung is designed double-sided and has at least two Seitenstandwerke, which can be arranged on the right and left of a wheel of the bicycle, wherein the transmission device is respectively coupled to the at least one support wheel Seitenstandwerke, wherein the transmission device is preferably coupled to the support wheels in that a synchronous synchronization of the support wheels takes place during the positioning of the support wheels. This allows the bicycle to be supported very stably and vertically without lateral inclination in many situations, e.g. at a traffic light, at an intersection, at a railroad crossing, to read a map.

According to one embodiment, the traction mechanism kinematics of the side support device couple the transmission device to at least two side stands. This not least provides a compact structure of the entire arrangement. At least one of the aforementioned objects is also achieved by a Seitenabstützvorrichtung for two-wheelers, set up for permanent mounting on the bicycle and for lateral support of the bicycle in the state with or without driver or while driving, the Seitenabstützvorrichtung at least one side stand with at least one support wheel has, which support wheel is positionable in at least one height position; the side support device comprising a transmission device coupled to the support wheel and configured to position the support wheel in at least two height positions including at least one extended support height position and at least one retracted height position for non-rider riding on the two-wheeler

This provides the aforementioned advantages.

At least one of the aforementioned objects is also achieved by a Seitenab supporting device for two-wheelers, set up for permanent mounting on the bicycle and for lateral support of the two-wheeled stand with or without driver or while driving, the Seitenab supporting device has two Seitenstandwerke each with at least one support wheel which support wheel can be positioned in at least one height position; wherein the side support device comprises a transmission device coupled to the respective support wheel, which is arranged to position the respective support wheel in at least two height positions comprising at least one extended support height position and at least one retracted height position for non-support driving with the two-wheeler, the side support device comprising a traction means -Kinematik arranged for positioning of the respective support wheel in at least one of the height positions by reversible temporary coupling of at least one pinion of the transmission device to a Zweirad- Antriebzugmittel, wherein the traction mechanism kinematics of Seitenab supporting device has two plates connected to each other via a hinge, by means of which the pinion is engageable with the Zweirad- Antriebszugmittel, wherein the engaging pinion of the

Transmission device rotationally fixed to a cable shaft is arranged, on which three cable worms attack three cables, the Seitenab support device is double-sided, wherein the transmission device is so coupled to the support wheels that a Synchronous synchronization of the support wheels when positioning the support wheels takes place. This provides the aforementioned advantages.

At least one of the aforementioned objects is also achieved by a bicycle with a Seitenabstützvorrichtung described above. This results in the aforementioned

Advantages.

At least one of the aforementioned objects is also achieved by a control device configured to specify an actuating movement for actuating the transmission device of the lateral support device, in particular by means of a traction mechanism.

Kinematics. This allows for even greater automation. For example, a desired position via a voice command or an electronic input or an electronic signal can be forwarded to the control device, wherein the control device also to a cable system of Seitenab support device and at least one drive, in particular an electric drive comprising at least one

Electric motor can be coupled.

At least one of the aforementioned objects is also achieved by a computer program product configured for prescribing a control sequence or a regulation, wherein the computer program product can interact with the control device described here or can be stored therein, in particular on a data memory of the control device. This also allows programming of certain actuating movements or actuating forces, for example depending on the size, age, weight of the driver or other parameters, e.g. the mass of the bicycle. By means of the computer program product, the method described here can be automated even more easily and thereby also individualized.

Accordingly, at least one of the aforementioned objects is also solved by a data carrier having such a computer program product deposited thereon or by a computer or a computer system or a virtual machine or at least one hardware element with it. At least one of the aforementioned objects is also achieved by using a Seitenab support device on a wheel of a two-wheeler with two right and left of the wheel arranged Seitenstandwerken in which manually via a cable system at least one support wheel of each Seitenstandwerks is positioned in at least two height positions by means of a Cable system actuated traction mechanism kinematics set up for the reversible temporary coupling of a transmission device of Seitenab support device to a Zweirad- Antriebzugmittel, in particular use of a Seitenab support device described above on a rear wheel of a bicycle, in particular mounted on a luggage rack and / or wheel bolts of the bicycle. This results in the aforementioned advantages. Such use is not only helpful in private use, but can also provide, for example, in the field of logistics (letter or parcel services) a considerable time or power saving or work in general. In addition to the effect of a reduced track width, especially in comparison to the previously commonly used tricycles in use, also a good driving experience and high maneuverability can be enjoyed. Perhaps it may be costly to operate the Seitenab support device every few feet in front of each door. However, at the latest but for larger distances between individual stops, eg from 30 or 100m, the Seitenab support device provides considerable advantages in the handling of the bicycle. At least one of the aforementioned objects is also achieved by the use of a spring elastically mounted traction mechanism kinematics for providing a switchable Abstütz- functionality of Seitenabstützvorrichtung on at least one wheel of a two-wheeler, wherein at least one support wheel in at least two predefinable height positions can be positioned by means of a switchable to a Two-wheeled drive train means of the two-wheeled gear mechanism of the side support device, in particular use of the traction mechanism

Kinematics in a previously described Seitenab support device. This also provides a high degree of automation.

At least one of the aforementioned objects is, as mentioned, also solved by a method for (motion) coupling of a transmission device of a

Transmission device on at least one side stand of Seitenabstützvorrichtung; and positioning at least one support wheel of the at least one side stand in one of at least two height positions, in particular by the drive movement or by at least one / one biased by the drive movement spring element or prestressed spring bolt or preloaded spring. This results in the aforementioned advantages. The actuator can be operated manually. Optionally, the adjusting movement of the actuating device can be motorized or automated, in particular in response to an electronic input or an electronic signal, so that a complete Stellbewegungsablauf of the operation to the engagement of the transmission (shift stroke) can be done automatically.

After positioning in the respective height position, decoupling of the transmission device from the two-wheel drive traction means can take place by shifting the traction mechanism kinematics back, in particular by releasing a pretensioned plate of the traction mechanism kinematics and pivoting it back around a pivot bearing.

According to one embodiment, one of the movements of the Seitenstandwerke in the height direction, in particular the return movement (shifting back of the support wheels up), accomplished by a drive of the Zweirad- Antriebszugmittels, and the opposite movements of the Seitenstandwerke in the height direction, in particular the extension, by at least one prestressed spring spring power operated accomplished. In this case, the spring-force-driven movement can be triggered by a lever or a manual or automatic operation as a positioning step downstream of the positioning.

A bicycle 1 has a frame 1.1, a handlebar 2, a wheel pinion 3 on the rear wheel 4 with an apron 4.1, a luggage rack 5, a saddle 6 and a wheel axle 7 with wheel bolts 7.1. On the handlebar 2, a brake lever 8 is provided, in which an actuator 20 further described below is integrated. The wheel pinion 3 can be driven via a two-wheel drive traction means 9 in the form of a bicycle chain (drive chain).

A Seitenab support device 10 has a housing device 11, adapted for receiving the components described in more detail below, with longitudinal struts 11.1 and cross struts 11.2, in particular formed as a square profile, and a rear light illumination 11.9. The housing means 11 may e.g. be made of aluminum or fiber composite.

At the bicycle frame 1.1, a support device 12 is provided with four mounting points for receiving hollow sections 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 12.4, in particular in a U-shape. One or more side members 12.6 and cross member 12.5 can ensure high torsional rigidity and provide a bow-side support 12.51 on the bike 1. About supports 12.7 and struts 12.8 and axle 12.9, in particular slotted straps forces can be forwarded in the bicycle frame 1.1.

The Seitenab support device 10 has two Seitenstandwerke 13, namely a left Seitenstandwerk 13A and a right Seitenstandwerk 13B, each with a example guided in guide rails 13.1 armature arm (especially T-shaped), a form-fitting with a locking mechanism cooperating boom 13.5 and a plurality ( in particular on the boom mounted or mounted) spring bolt or pressure pin 13.6, namely a first and second spring bolt 13.6A, 13.6B, wherein in second spring bolt 13.6B a bore 13.61 is provided, around which a spring is arranged 13.62. A toothing line 13.7 with locking means in the form of a rack allows engagement in different height positions. The toothing line 13.7 can be detected and unlocked by means of a ratchet fastener 13.72 in operative connection with one of the spring bolts 13.6B. The support arm 13.1 is coupled via two springs 13.8, in particular tension springs to the housing device 11. A jockey wheel 13.9 is connected via a vertical support post 13.73 with the support arm 13.1. The toothing line 13.7 may also have a lock. The respective stand further preferably has a receiving plate, a sliding plate and a guide rail.

The Seitenab support device 10 includes a transmission device 14 with a transmission shaft 14.1, a set up for engagement in / the Antriebszugmittel 9 meshing pinion gear 14.11, a Dom 14.2 (which Dom can also be provided as a component of the traction mechanism kinematics), a rotationally fixed to the transmission shaft 14.1 stored drive pinion 14.3 for transmitting an over- or underdriven drive movement by means of at least one

Traction 14.4 on a driven pinion 14.5, wherein the output pinion 14.5 or another (in particular on the same shaft 14.8 mounted) output gear 14.6 by means of a traction 14.7 in operative connection with a rotatably mounted on a cable shaft 16.1 drive pinion 16.6. The cable shaft 16.1 may also be provided as part of the traction mechanism kinematics 15. The additional output gear 14.6 can provide another translation stage. The dome 14.2 can interact with one of the spring bolts 13.6A of the side stand 13, in particular by the spring bolt 13.6A exerting from above a compressive force on the dome 14.2 and thereby actuates the traction mechanism kinematics described below.

The Seitenab support device 10 further comprises a traction mechanism kinematics 15 with a first plate 15.1 and a thereto by means of a pivoting hinge 15.3 mounted second (lower) plate 15.2, in which a plurality of bores 15.21 and sleeves 15.22 are provided for receiving pressure springs 15.23, so that the upper plate 15.1 can be spring-loaded relative to the lower plate 15.2. The sleeves allow guidance of the springs regardless of the orientation of the upper flap 15.1. The sleeves also provide a receiving cavity for the springs in fully closed, abutting plates. Numerous of the previously described components of the transmission device 14 are mounted on the upper plate, in particular also the dome 14.2 and the transmission shaft 14.1. By means of the dome 14.2, therefore, the gear shaft 14.1 can be indirectly actuated by means of the spring bolt 13.6A. Several ropes or chains 15.6, 15.61, 15.62, 15.63 of the traction mechanism kinematics 15 are guided over a later described in more detail cable pull shaft 16.1, wherein at each Seitenstandwerk 13A, 13B in each case a rope 15.62, 15.63 is guided by the respective spring bolt 13.6B, so the respective spring bolt 13.6B can be pretensioned by means of the cable. For example, the rope is provided for this at the free end below the spring bolt with a knot or a cable clamp, so that the rope is axially fixed to the spring bolt at least in one direction of movement. The ropes 15.6 can thereby ensure a coupling between the traction mechanism kinematics 15 and the cable system 16 and the cable pull shaft 16.1. The ropes 15.6 provide an output-side coupling, ie output side of the transmission device 14 and output side of the traction mechanism kinematics 15 to the respective Seitenstandwerk 13A, 13B.

A spring-mounted release mechanism 15.8 in the manner of a non-positive and positive retaining clip has a housing 15.81 and a spring element 15.82 and a bolt 15.83 with a chamfer 15.84. About a pulley 15.87, a rope can be performed so as to displace the bolt against the spring force, and thereby to allow a displacement of the respective support wheel in a certain height position or to prevent a shift. Likewise, a spring-mounted release mechanism 15.9 in the manner of a non-positive and positive fixing clamp a housing 15.91, a spring element 15.92 and a bolt 15.93 with a chamfer 15.94 on which pin is also actuated via a pulley 15.97 and a rope.

A cable pull release 15.5 which can be integrated into the brake lever 8 or can be arranged next to it can in particular also be adjustably fixed in different tension positions by means of clamping means, in particular pointed screws. The Seitenab support device 10 further includes a cable system 16 for coupling a plurality of side stands, wherein a kinematic coupling can be done by means of a cable shaft 16.1, on which at least one roller 16.4 is provided for guiding a rope. The cable shaft 16.1 is connected via a drive pinion 16.6 to a drive pinion 14.5, 14.6 of Gear device 14 coupled. The kinematics may have one or more bearings for a kinematic coupling, in particular bearings for the cable shaft.

The Seitenab support device 10 further comprises an actuator 20 with an actuating lever 21, in particular in the manner of a brake lever or coupled to the brake lever further lever, and with a cable 23 with at least one individual cable 15.6, 23.1 and a connector 23.4 or a distributor for splitting of the single rope 15.6, 23.1 in several ropes or cables. By means of the cable 23 can be further single cables 23.2, 23.3 actuate, which are in operative connection with the terminals or tripping mechanisms 15.8, 15.9. The single cable 23.2 can be guided over the cable pull shaft 16.1

Rope 15.61 correspond. The respective single cable may be guided through a bore or guide inside in the respective bolt 15.93 and fixed thereto, e.g. by means of a clamping screw. An actuation of the traction mechanism kinematics 15 can be done manually, and / or at least partially by means of a drive 30, wherein a control device 40 can specify the manner of actuation or the time or duration of an intervention, in particular based on specifications from a data storage with Reference to at least two different operating conditions or driver profiles.

The Seitenab support device 10 extends transversely to the direction of travel along a transverse axis x, and in the direction of travel along a longitudinal axis y, wherein the support wheels 13.9 in the z-direction (vertical axis) are displaced. The absolute dimensions of the Seitenabstützvorrichtung 10 in the x-direction can be described as a track width. The track width is for example in the range of 660mm.

Reference will now be made to features of the invention with reference to individual of the figures. In Fig. 1 A, the transmission device 14 is shown in a plan view, wherein the individual

Components of the transmission device 14, which cooperate with traction means or ropes and ensure a motion coupling, on the upper plate 15.1 are arranged. Clearly recognizable is the dome 14.2 with a stop surface 14.21 and a pressure point 14.22 for the spring bolt 13.6A (Fig. 1B, IL).

Fig. 1B shows an arrangement of the traction mechanism kinematics 15 in a locked position, with engagement of the engagement pinion 14.11 from the top of the bicycle chain 9. The retaining pin 15.93 locks the upper plate 15.1 against the biasing force of the spring 15.23.

Fig. IC, IL shows the transmission device 14 and the traction mechanism kinematics 15 from a rear view, also in the locked state, ie with engagement. The upper plate 15.1 is not swung up.

1D shows the arrangement of the transmission device 14 and the traction mechanism kinematics 15 in a housing device 11. It can be seen that only one transmission device 14 and only traction mechanism kinematics 15 are required on one side in order to be able to actuate side stands on both sides , A movement coupling of the two sides takes place via the shaft 16.1 shown in FIG. 2B.

Fig. IE, 1F shows the arrangement of the transmission device 14 and the traction mechanism kinematics 15 in the housing device 11 relative to a drive train means 9 of the two-wheeler. The traction mechanism kinematics 15 is arranged such that the transmission device 14 can be brought from above into engagement with the drive traction means 9. This allows the engagement pinion 14.11 engage in the loaded portion of the chain 9 (Lasttrum). This also provides advantages in terms of compactness and weight / mass of the entire assembly. Fig. IG, 1H shows the traction mechanism kinematics 15 in the open state, without intervention. The pinion

14.11 is displaced upwards and is no longer in engagement with the chain 9. The two plates are swung by a switching angle α in the range of 10 to 20 ° about the pivot bearing 15.3 and resiliently biased in this arrangement relative to each other. The upper plate strikes against a stop or on a bracket 15.98. The corresponding pinion is pivoted away in this arrangement of the upper plate of the bicycle chain, so that no interference takes place in the bicycle chain. Fig. 1J, 1K, IL shows the traction mechanism kinematics 15 in the closed state with adjacent plates, wherein an engagement of the corresponding pinion 14.11 takes place in the bicycle chain 9. The pinion is positioned on the chain, so it engages from above into the chain, especially in the loaded section of the chain (Lasttrum). An intervention in the unloaded section (empty strand) does not take place.

In Fig. IL it can be seen that a pressure pin 13.6A acts from above on the upper plate 15.1 and thereby closes the traction mechanism kinematics. After closing, a spring-loaded retaining pin or bolt acts on the upper plate 15 and holds it closed until the retaining pin is displaced against a resilient bias out of the holding position, in particular by operating a cable system by means of an actuating lever, whereby the corresponding cable 23.2 is tightened and the upper plate 15.1 is released for spring-driven pivoting back up. The pressure pin is preferably made of inelastic, non-deformable material.

Fig. IM shows the manner of interaction of the components of the cable-actuatable trigger mechanism 15.9. A spring-loaded retaining pin 15.93 can be actuated by means of a cable 23.2 coupled via a deflection roller 15.97 to a shaft or a cable. When closing the two plates, so when pressing the traction mechanism kinematics by means of the pressure bolt 13.6A, the retaining pin is pushed back against a spring preload, and locks the plates as soon as they rest against each other. The retaining pin can be retracted to open or pivot back the plates in the open position by means of the rope. The plates jump up and the pinion is separated from the chain (decoupling).

Fig. 2A shows components of the transmission device 14 and the Seitenstandwerkes 13 in a plan view.

Fig. 2B shows the cable shaft 16.1, which both side stands 13 A, 13 B coupled together.

Fig. 3A, 3B shows the spring mounting of jockey wheel 13.9 and support bracket 13.73. The spring force of the springs 13.8 can be used to the support wheels 13.9 in any driving situation extend to the ground, optionally in different height positions on uneven ground. 3B shows the kinematics by means of spring bolts 13.6A, 13.6B. 4A, 4B show the arrangement as in Fig. 3 A, 3B, in the opposite direction. FIG. 5A shows, isolated as a single component, one of the two side stands 13B with the toothing line 13.7 formed on the supporting support 13.73. Fig. 5B additionally shows the manner of engagement of the boom 13.5 with the tripping mechanism 15.8. FIG. 5C additionally shows the cable-shaft 16.1 or individual pinions or rollers 16.4, 16.6. Springs, traction means or ropes or other components of the cable system are not shown for the sake of clarity.

Figs. 5A to 5C and Fig. 7B, the operation of the spring-loaded bolts 13.6A, 13.6B are removed. The arranged above the transmission device 14 transmission pressure pin 13.6A is arranged and arranged for actuating the traction mechanism kinematics 15 and thereby indirectly also for switching the transmission device 14. Der

Transmission pressure pin 13.6A allows a movement coupling between side stand 13, traction mechanism kinematics 15 and transmission device 14. The transmission device 14 can be closed / locked by means of the bolt 15.93 with the engagement pinion 14.11 in engagement with the chain 9, so that the respective side stand against the spring force the springs 13.8 can be biased in an upper, retracted height position.

The spring-mounted support post 13.73 of the respective Seitenstandwerkes 13A, 13B is arranged and adapted to compensate for unevenness of the ground, and thus for setting an adequate height difference of the two Seitenstandwerke 13A, 13B. In this case, for example, a height difference of ± 5cm per side can be compensated, as shown in Fig. 12. This also allows holding in an upright position on an inclined plane. The pressure pin 13.6B acts together with the toothing line 13.7. The pressure pin 13.6B (ratchet opening bolt) has in particular a spring travel in the range of 10 to 12 cm. In this regard, three height positions on the tooth line 13.7 can be described here by way of example: in an upper position, the extension distance of the corresponding side stand is extended, for example by 5 cm. In a middle position, the end position of the corresponding support wheel with the height position of the bottom (or the support point) of the rear wheel of the bicycle. In a lower position the extension of the corresponding side stand is shortened, eg by 5cm.

FIG. 6 shows individual components of the support device 12, in the form of a luggage carrier or as a device for mounting on or above a luggage carrier. Figures 9A, 9B, 9C show one of several possible ways of mounting to a bicycle.

FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C show details of the interaction of individual components for path coupling.

Fig. 8 shows an example of a cable with different ropes, whether for forwarding an actuation movement to the terminals 15.8, 15.9, either to forward an actuating movement to the respective Seitenstandwerk. The respective clamp 15.8, 15.9 may have a longitudinal bore and a lateral bore, for the arrangement and relative guidance of the corresponding component.

Fig. 10 shows a movement coupling of an actuator 20 and the release mechanisms 15.8, 15.9, wherein the guide of the individual ropes 23.1, 23.2, 23.3 can also be varied, depending on the manner of the desired operation, with further over- / reductions or deflections ,

Fig. I IA shows a rear view of an arrangement in an upper height position, without intervention. Fig. IB shows the bicycle with extended Seitenstandwerk 13, upon engagement of the traction mechanism kinematics or the transmission device in the bicycle chain 9, so that now when driving the bicycle chain 9, the support wheels 13.9 against a spring force biased again shifted to a desired upper retracted height position can be, especially automatically when driving off. An upper stop edge of the pressure bolt 13.6B acts together with the ratchet fastener 13.72 and releases it, thus unlocking the detected supports 13.73.

If the stands 13 A, 13 B extended, then pushes the bolt 13.6 A of a stand 13 B, the two gear plates 15.1, 15.2 together. In this case, the retaining pin is first pushed back to the top of the transmission plates 15.93. Upon complete merger of the two plates of the retaining pin jumps 15.93 driven by spring force from the spring element 15.82 and locks the two plates together. The contact pinion 14.11 is now on the chain 9. By pedaling in the direction of travel, the chain moves the contact pinion, and via the gear 14, the cable shaft 16.1 is driven. The two ropes 15.62, 15.63 of the standard wheels 13.9 now pull the standard wheels. This is a fully automated process.

Uncoupling from the bicycle chain 9 can be done as follows. Both stands are retracted in an upper height position. By means of the cable release 15.5, a shift down (an extension) can be triggered. If the cable shaft 16.1 now picks up the respective rope, the two stands are raised a good 2 cm above the original height position. Then also the other rope is stretched 15.61 or 23.2, which is connected to the retaining pin of the transmission. The retaining pin 15.93 is withdrawn in such a way that the gearbox springs open and the engagement pinion 14.11 is separated from the chain 9. Then the two stands can fall back to their retracted height position.

The spring 13.63 of the pressure pin 13.6A is stronger than the springs 15.23 of the transmission plate. The springs 13.62 of the two ratchet opening bolts 13.6B are stronger than the springs 13.8 of the stands. The ratchet opening bolts can slide past the ratchet 13.7 when the support wheels are extended. The Seitenabstützvorrichtung can be tuned so that after triggering by the cable release 15.5 the stands 13 A, 13 B extend as quickly as possible, especially in the tenth of a second range.

The locking means 13.7 may comprise a ratchet, which is arranged in a housing and may be formed as a small plate with a Verharkung in the direction of the rack.

The small plate is pressed by means of a small spring against the toothing and thus forms the ratchet closure. The housing has a bore through which a bolt abuts when extending the landing gear. If the landing gear is to be retracted, pull the corresponding rope on the bolt and then dive from bottom to top again into the hole. A cone of the bolt presses against the small plate inclined by the small spring plate and aligns it so straight that the Verharkung is solved with the rack of the landing gear. The ratchet is thus released again. Fig. 13 shows an example of a cable tensioner 16.9 with a deflection roller 16.91, a spring-loaded (pivot) hinge 16.92 and a spring 16.93. When pivoting lots can be obtained from a guided over the pulley 16.91 rope. The cable tensioner is set up to compensate for different working lengths of several cables and to keep the cables in tension. Such a cable tensioner is useful in particular for the rope, which actuates the plate of the traction mechanism kinematics, in particular because it has a large length and thus can be kept under tension.

Figs. 14A, 14B, 14C show the operation of individual components. Fig. 14A describes the structure of the transmission device 14 and the cable system 16 in a general manner separately from the traction mechanism kinematics. FIG. 14B illustrates the individual directions of rotation and the tensile forces acting or exerted on the individual traction means. Fig. 14C exemplifies translation stages between the individual components. The translation can also be larger or smaller, depending on the application.
