Abstract
Description
On a décrit au Brevet princi?sl un dispositif par- meçtGnt de faire varier la longueur du bras de levier d'une manivelle de bicyclette. A device has been described in the main patent for varying the length of the lever arm of a bicycle crank.
Un des inconvéniénts de ce dispositif est que le moyen de variation de la longueur du bras de levier de la manivelle est un axe de pédale excentrique. Ce qui impliune méthode de fabrication différente pour l'axe de pédade l'invention. One of the drawbacks of this device is that the means for varying the length of the lever arm of the crank is an eccentric pedal pin. Which impliune a different manufacturing method for the axis of the invention.
Un autre inconvénient du dispositif est que le moyen d'association de la manivelle avec l'axe de la pédaest un accouplement à friction qui comporte un écrou à double portée. Ce qui implique un usinage. Another drawback of the device is that the means of association of the crank with the axis of the peda is a friction coupling which comprises a double-bearing nut. Which implies machining.
Le dispositif de l'invention permet d'éviter ces inconvénients. Il est caractérisé par un moyen nouveau de variation du bras de levier-de la manivelle et un moyen nouveau d'association de l'axe de la pédale avec lamanivelle. The device of the invention avoids these drawbacks. It is characterized by a new means of variation of the lever arm-of the crank and a new means of association of the axis of the pedal with the crank.
Le moyen de variation de la longueur du bras de 1ffi- vier de la manivelle est un manchon excentrique terminé à une de ses extrémités par une tête de faible épaisseur de forme géométrique quelconque destinée à le mouvoir. The means of varying the length of the crank arm of the crank is an eccentric sleeve terminated at one of its ends by a thin head of any geometric shape intended to move it.
L'excentricité du du manchon est obtenue par le décentrage de la paroi interne du manchon par rapport à la paroi externe du manchon, le moyen d'association de l'axe de la pédale avec la manivelle est un écrou et une rondelle à friction déjà connus.The eccentricity of the sleeve is obtained by off-centering the internal wall of the sleeve relative to the external wall of the sleeve, the means of association of the axis of the pedal with the crank is a nut and a friction washer already known.
On ne reprendra pas la description détaillée du dispositif déjà donnée dans le brevet principal. Comme on l'a décrit dans ce dernier, il comporte un axe 4, une clé 11, une rondelle 6, un ecrou 10 et une manivelle 18. We will not repeat the detailed description of the device already given in the main patent. As described in the latter, it comprises an axis 4, a key 11, a washer 6, a nut 10 and a crank 18.
Tel qu'il est représenté par les dessins annexés le dispositif comporte
- sur la figure 1, vue de profil de l'axe de pédale 20 la tette de la vis 21, la vis 22.As shown in the accompanying drawings, the device comprises
- in FIG. 1, side view of the pedal pin 20 the head of the screw 21, the screw 22.
- sur la figure 2, vue de profil du mancon excentri
que 23 et sa tête 24.- in Figure 2, side view of the eccentric mancon
that 23 and his head 24.
- sur la figure 3, vue de face du manchon, la teste 24, en pointillé le manchon 23, les axes X et Y qui dé terminent l'exentricité du qanchon 23. - in FIG. 3, front view of the sleeve, the test 24, in dotted line the sleeve 23, the axes X and Y which determine the eccentricity of the qanchon 23.
- sur a figure 4 la rondelle à friction 6 vue de profil. - In a figure 4 the friction washer 6 side view.
- sur la figure 5 la rondelle 6 vue de face. - In Figure 5 the washer 6 front view.
- sur la figure 6 la clé 11 déjà décrite au brevet principal. - In Figure 6 the key 11 already described in the main patent.
- sur la figure 7 la clé 11 de profil. - In Figure 7 the key 11 in profile.
- sur la figure 8 la manivelle 18 de face. - In Figure 8 the crank 18 from the front.
- sur la figure 9 l'écrou 25 de profil. - In Figure 9 the nut 25 in profile.
- sur la figure 10, vue en coupe du dispositif, la manivelle I8 dans le trou de laquelle I9 est introduit à fond le manchon 23 qui, dans cette condition, à son extrémité qui débouche du trou de la manivelle d'une longueur en rapport avec l'épaisseur de la rondelle à friction 6. La clé 11, par sa mâchoire 12, est engagée sur la tête 24 ajustée à cet effet. La vis 22 de l'axe 20 est introduite à fond dans l'ouverture du manchon 23, la rondelle à friction 6 est positionnée sur l'extrémité libre de manchon 23 puis, l'écrou 25 est bloqué sur le manchon 23.Dans cette condition, la rondelle 6 est prise comme dans un étau entre l'écrou 25 et la tête de la manivelle TR Il en résulte qu'une friction étalonnée est établie / et la manivelle Is entre la tête 24 du manchon 23' et la position angulaire du manchon 23 ne peut varier qu'en utilisant la clé 11. - In Figure 10, sectional view of the device, the crank I8 in the hole of which I9 is fully inserted the sleeve 23 which, in this condition, at its end which opens out from the crank hole of a length related with the thickness of the friction washer 6. The key 11, by its jaw 12, is engaged on the head 24 adjusted for this purpose. The screw 22 of the axis 20 is fully inserted into the opening of the sleeve 23, the friction washer 6 is positioned on the free end of the sleeve 23 then the nut 25 is locked on the sleeve 23. condition, the washer 6 is taken as in a vice between the nut 25 and the head of the crank TR It follows that a calibrated friction is established / and the crank Is between the head 24 of the sleeve 23 'and the angular position of the sleeve 23 can only vary by using the key 11.
Quand on fait tourner la clé 11 dans le sens inverdes aiguilles d'une montre, la butée 16 prend appui sur la manivelle I8 après avoir effectué un déplacement angulaire de 1800. Le bras de levier de la manivelle 18 a donc été raccourci de deux fois la distance calculée entre les axes X et Y. When the key 11 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the stop 16 is supported on the crank I8 after having made an angular displacement of 1800. The lever arm of the crank 18 has therefore been shortened twice the calculated distance between the X and Y axes.
Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, peut être utilisé dans tous les cas ou le cycliste en éprouve le besoin. Par exemple, quand il aborde une pente à fort pourcentage, il a tout intérêt à utiliser les manivelles à grande longueur du bras de levier. The device, object of the invention, can be used in all cases or the cyclist feels the need. For example, when he approaches a steep slope, it is in his interest to use the long cranks of the lever arm.
Tel que le dispositif est reprenté, la butée 14 est en contact avec le bras de la manivelle I8. As the device is shown, the stop 14 is in contact with the arm of the crank I8.
