MOTORCYCLE STARTER

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a motorcycle starter, usable to start racing motorcycles and the like that usually lack an integrated starter.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In motorcycle competitions many times to save weight on motorcycles, they lack their own starting means, that is, battery, starter motor and starter coupling to the motorcycle's own transmission to drive the piston or pistons and produce the boot For this reason you can see in many competitions the use of starters or even riders to start the motorcycles by pushing.

The existing starters comprise a pair of tractor rollers to print movement to the rear wheel of the motorcycle placed tangentially on them and arranged at height and distance such that the rear wheel is raised above the ground, a transmission to produce the rotation of the tractor rollers in the direction of advancement of the rear wheel of the motorcycle, an electric motor coupled to said transmission to produce its movement, a drive control of said motor, and a structure where the tractor rollers and the transmission are mounted.

This configuration frequently causes very heavy and expensive starters, which limits its possibility of use; also to try to contain prices are usually not very resistant, presenting frequent breaks or breakdowns.

The motorcycle starter of the invention has a configuration that with a contained price is able to offer great strength and durability free from breakage.

The starter is of the type that comprises a pair of transverse tractor rollers to print movement to the rear wheel of the motorcycle placed tangentially on them and arranged at height and distance such that the rear wheel is raised relative to the ground, a transmission to produce the rotation of the tractor rollers in the direction of advance of the rear wheel of the motorcycle, an electric motor coupled to said transmission to produce its movement, a drive control of said motor, and a structure where at least the rollers are mounted tractors and transmission, and according to the invention the structure comprises:

-a side sides materialized in reinforced sheet, on which the axes of the rollers are mounted,

-a greasable and reinforced bearings arranged on said sides, through which the axles of the tractor rollers are mounted,

-a crossbars that are related to both sides, and

-a rear drawer provided with a housing for disposal, at least, of the electric motor

and the power supply of it.

In this way a very economical structure is obtained, since the sides and the transverse bars obtain great rigidity at low cost, being also reinforced the resistance by the addition of the drawer, which reduces the spans and provides greater support surfaces between both sides, with the additional use of the interior space to house the mobile elements that could cause accidents, thus being protected.

The motorcycle starter (1) of the invention is of the type they comprise (see fig. 1):

-a pair of tractor rollers (3) transverse to print movement to the rear wheel (20) of the motorcycle (2) placed tangentially on them and arranged at height and distance such that the rear wheel (20) is raised relative to the ground (100)

-a transmission (4) to produce the rotation of the tractor rollers (3) in the direction of advance of the rear wheel (20) of the motorcycle (2),

- an electric motor (5) coupled to said transmission (4) to produce its movement,

-a motor drive control (5), and

-a structure (7) where at least the tractor rollers (3) and the transmission (4) are mounted; where according to the invention, the structure (7) comprises (see figs 2 and 3):

-one sides (70) made of reinforced sheet material, on which the shafts (33) of the rollers (3) are mounted,

-a greasable and reinforced bearings (35) arranged on said sides (70) through which the axles (33) of the tractor rollers (3) are mounted,

-a crossbars (71) that are relating both sides (70), and -a rear drawer (72) provided with a housing (73) for arrangement, at least, of the electric motor (5) and the power supply (50, 51) thereof.

To achieve a good resistance, it is preferred that the crossbars (71) have a diameter of at least 12 mm and self-braking nuts (75) with washer.

It has also been provided that the sides (70) may comprise screen-printed outer coatings (77) to be able to represent advertising and pay for the acquisition amount of the starter (1). Said outer coatings (77) may be materialized, for example, in:

- reinforced laminated wood,

- sheet metal plates,

- Aluminum plates with polymeric core (for example alucobond®), all baked lacquered

according to normative and qualicoat® guarantee.)

For its part, a transmission (4) comprising a first chain (40) (see fig 3) of coupling between the engine (5) and the nearest tractor roller (3), and a second chain (41) of coupling between the two tractor rollers (3); comprising gears (43) for the chains (40, 41) arranged on the shafts (33) of the rollers (3); the motor (5) being mounted longitudinally and comprising a crown (45) of transverse shaft output coupled to the first chain (40) driven by a cardan (46). This achieves an extremely simple and very low maintenance realization, simply cleaning and greasing the chains (40, 41) can be a transmission of unlimited duration. In addition, it is preferred that the chains (40, 41) comprise safety covers, not shown, which will also hinder the entry of dirt into them.

As for the tractor rollers (3), they most preferably comprise a coating (30) of high friction coefficient with the rear wheel (20) to increase the effectiveness of the contact and prevent slippage even in the presence of rain. Said coating (30) is ideally materialized in rubber. It is also provided that the tractor rollers (3) comprise a diabolo shape externally, either by incorporating the shape in said coating (30) or in the roller itself, with a smaller diameter area (31) surrounded by larger diameter areas ( 32) increasing to force a rear wheel position (20) in the area of smaller diameter (31).

The motor power supply (5), on the other hand, can be:

-a power adapter (50) for connecting to an external electrical network, and / or

-at least a rechargeable battery (51). The engine will ideally have a power of 2200 W.

In addition, the provision of wheels (9) is provided to facilitate the transport of the starter. Said wheels (9) are ideally arranged at the rear end of the structure (7).

As for the control, it preferably comprises (see fig. 2) a first pedal (61) arranged

in the area of the rider's feet so that it can be operated by the same one on the motorcycle, and / or a second pedal (62) arranged on the rear drawer (72) of the structure (7) to be operated by a second person, For example a mechanic.

5 Describing sufficiently the nature of the invention, it is indicated that the description thereof and of its preferred embodiment should be interpreted in a non-limiting manner, and that it encompasses all of the possible embodiments that are deduced from the content of the present memory and claims.
