Description
QUICK ASSEMBLY BICYCLE FRAME OR THE LIKE
>»X<«
DESCRIPTION
The present invention refers to a frame for a bicycle or the like and, more precisely, to a frame for a bicycle or the like which is capable to be manually assembled and disassembled in a quick manner and without the use of tightening tools.
State of the art
Research on bicycle frames aimed mainly at improving performance has produced a continuous evolution of the same which has led to the creation of ever lighter systems with the same structural stiffness.
Furthermore, for many decades different constructive solutions have been proposed for such frames with the aim of improving the transportability according to the needs requirements (for example, during transfers on public/private transportation vehicles and/or for the sheltering during no using periods). As an example, in the past, folding frames have been produced wherein one or two hinge points on the frame itself were provided, and in such a way that such frames could be completely folded during the transporting thereof with the aim of being able to minimize the overall dimensions and facilitate and easing the handling thereof.
However, these solutions entail a disadvantage which is given by the fact that they have to integrate joint hinges into the frame (which allow the frame to completely fold) but which, at the same time, generally require larger sections to give appropriate structural stiffness. Therefore, such a constructive solution is a compromise between overall dimensions and weights, and even when the bicycle is folded, it is of less than optimal weight and overall dimensions.
Furthermore, an alternative solution is known from the patent document FR808180A1, which discloses a bicycle frame made of a light alloy metal, and which consists of a series
of members that can be mounted on respective joints, the members being lockable in said joints by means of pins or bolts, thereby locking said components on their respective joints.
This constructive solution although it is practical for transporting the bicycle or for replacing some components of the frame, but has the disadvantage given by the need to provide one or more tools for the tightening / disassembling the aforementioned pins or bolts at said joints, otherwise making impossible the disassembling thereof.
Therefore, the aim of the present invention is to solve the aforementioned disadvantages of the state of the art by providing a bicycle frame or the like which can be rapidly assembled and which is completely removable / mountable and lockable with an exclusively manual operation and without the use of any tool.
Brief description of the invention
The present invention provides a bicycle frame or the like for a quick assembling / disassembling and locking which comprises a plurality of elongated structural members, at least three connecting joints of said plurality of elongated structural members, and locking means for locking said structural members on said connecting joints, and characterized in that said locking means are manual locking type and lock said structural members following to a manual action without the use of any tools.
Hence, the present invention provides a quick assembly bicycle frame or the like substantially according to the appended claims.

Furthermore, it integrally has two further tubular bodies 31 and 32 for the supporting of the end parts of a respective tubular structural member 2 (better illustrated below).
With reference now to Figure 3B, it is a perspective view of a joint 3 related to the pedal support (or bottom bracket). From now on, this joint will be referred to as the "lower joint" 3.
The lower joint 3 comprises a first tubular body 33 which supports the rolling of the pedal shaft in a manner already known per se. Furthermore, it integrally has two further tubular bodies 34 and 35 for the supporting of the end parts of respective tubular structural members 2 (better illustrated below).
Figure 3C illustrates in perspective a joint 3 related to the support of the saddle 8 and the rear forks 50 (the latter not in the figure). From now on, this joint will be referred to as "rear joint" 3.
The rear joint 3 comprises a first tubular body 36 for the supporting of a respective tube 80 for supporting the saddle 8 (the latter not shown in the figure). Furthermore, it integrally has a tubular body 37 for the supporting of one end part of a respective tubular structural member 2 (better illustrated below).
With reference now to Figures 4 to 7, it will be illustrated the reversible locking system 20 of the tubular structural members 2 on the respective joints 3 according to the present embodiment of the frame 10 of the present invention.
In the figures and for the sake of clarity, it is partially illustrated for illustrative and non-limiting purposes an end part of the tubular body 37 of the rear joint 3 (the latter not in the figure) and an end part of a
respective tubular structural member 2 (the latter partially illustrated) .
It should be pointed out here that the present arrangement applies to all the components of the frame 10, i.e. to all tubular structural members 2 and to the relevant joints 3 of the frame 10.
With reference now to Figure 4, the locking system 20 provides that the tubular body 37 of the respective joint 3 comprises at its free end part a cylindrical member 300 inserted inside said end part, and which has a protruding part 301 from said end part, the protruding part 301 having a cylindrical shape with a "D" shaped cross section.
The protruding part 301 of the member 300 also has a transverse groove 302.
Similarly, at each end of each tubular structural member 2 there is comprised an end part 200 which has a surface on which a slot 201 it is obtained and which extends inside for at least part of the length of the tubular member 2.
As will be better illustrated here below, the slot 201 has a shape which is complementary to the shape of the protruding part 301 of the member 300.
Further, on the surface of the tubular structural member 2 and at the end part thereof a longitudinal groove 202 it is obtained, the groove 202 extending transversely and longitudinally on the end part 200 of the tubular structural member 2.
At the edge part of the groove 202 on the end part 200 there is provided a lever 203 integrally mounted on a pin 204 and in a swinging manner with respect to said groove 202. The pin 204 it is housed in a respective threaded seat obtained at the end part 200, and in such a manner that a rotation of the pin 204 corresponds to a displacement of the latter in the threaded seat.
The lever 203 comprises a cam 205 which is adapted to interact with the groove 302 at the protruding member 301 (better illustrated below).
With reference now to Figure 5 there is shown in a
longitudinal section the components 2 and 300 in the condition illustrated in Figure 4.
How it is apparent in the figure, the shape of the protruding part 301 of the member 300 is such that it realize a guide member capable of to be inserted inside the slot 201 at the end part of the tubular structural member 2 during the coupling of the two components 37 and 2.
With reference now to Figure 6, the components shown in Figure 4 are illustrated in a longitudinal section and after their mutual coupling and reciprocal clamping.
As it is evident in the figure, the part 301 of the member 300 following the coupling of the components 2 and 37 it is totally inserted inside the slot 201 at the end part of the tubular structural member 2. In this condition the lever 203 it is totally lowered and inserted in the groove 202.
It should be noted here that according to the present invention, the rotation of the lever 203 causes the rotation of the relevant pin 204 integrally associated to the former. Said rotation of the pin 204 causes a narrowing of the end part 200 as a result of elastic deformation of the material constituting the groove 202. Said deformation of the end part 200 causes a narrowing of the cross-sectional area of the slot causing a tightening of the end part 301 of the member 300 inside the end part 200 of the tubular member 2.
Further, consequently the shape of the cam 205 it is adapted to cooperate to lock the end part 301 of the member 300 on the groove 302 in the manner already known and as illustrated in the figure. Furthermore, the type of coupling of the cam 205 on the groove 302 it is such that for a traction force (i.e., during the mutual spacing of the end parts 200 and 300) a friction force it is generated and causing a rotation of the cam 205 and the associated pin 204, thereby increasing the tightening of the end part 200 on the protruding part 301 of the end part 300.
As it is immediately evident the present arrangement of all the members that are part of the locking means 20 provide
the necessary structural support for continuity.
With reference now to figure 7 there is shown components 2 and 37 in the coupled and locked condition in a perspective view thereof and as previously illustrated in Figure 6.
As can be seen in the figure, following the coupling and tightening of the lever 203 in the relevant groove 202, the two components 2 and 37 are perfectly abutting and giving a mechanical continuity solution.
To unlock the above illustrated locking means, it is simply performed the operation described above in a reverse manner.
