Abstract

The bicycle handle bar pillar (1) has a collar (3) cast facing towards its rear to retain the handle bar tube. The part of the collar (A) opposite the inserted part of the pillar is overhanging and its thickness at the bottom (B) is reduced. In the opening is inserted a plate of deformable plastics (6a). This flows under the locking force to help block the handle bar tube. This ensures parallelism with the opening faces and dampens vibrations.

Description

La présente invention a trait aux guidons pour cycles du genre dans lequel la barre transversale ou cintre est fixé à la potence de façon amovible. The present invention relates to handlebars for cycles of the kind in which the crossbar or hanger is fixed to the stem removably.

Dans la plupart des constructions connues la fixation du cintre à la potence est assurée en faisant comporter à celle-ci un collier en deux parties dont l'une est rigidement solidaire de cette potence, tandis que l'autre peut être serrée contre la première par le moyen de vis ou boulons appropriés. Comme cette disposition est relativement compliquée et disgracieuse, on a également imaginé d'équiper la potence d'un collier fendu en direction de l'carrière et susceptible d'être bloqué sur le cintre par le moyen d'une vis ou équivalent. Toutefois l'expérience montre que les réalisations de ce genre existant à l'heure actuelle n'assurent pas un serrage parfait et entraient parfois une torsion de la vis qui tend alors à se bloquer. In most known constructions, the hanger is fixed to the bracket by making it comprise a collar in two parts, one of which is rigidly secured to this bracket, while the other can be tightened against the first by using suitable screws or bolts. As this arrangement is relatively complicated and unsightly, it has also been imagined to equip the stem with a split collar in the direction of the quarry and capable of being blocked on the hanger by means of a screw or equivalent. However, experience shows that the constructions of this kind existing at present do not ensure perfect tightening and sometimes enter a twist of the screw which then tends to lock.

La présente invention vise à permettre d'établir un dispositif de potence pour guidon à cintre démontable, qui ne comporte pas les incon venients ci-dessus et grâce auquel on puisse réaliser des ensembles plus harmonieux qu'il n'a été possible de le faire jusqu'à ce jour. The present invention aims to make it possible to establish a stem device for a handlebar with a removable handlebar, which does not have the above drawbacks and thanks to which it is possible to produce more harmonious assemblies than it has been possible to do. until this day.

Conformément à l'invention le collier fendu de la potence est surépaissi vers l'avant et au contraire aminci dans sa partie inférieure. According to the invention the split collar of the stem is thickened towards the front and on the contrary thinned in its lower part.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention l'on dispose dans la fente du collier une épaisseur de matière plastique déformable qui flue lors du serrage en venant s'appliquer contre le cintre qu'elle empêche radicalement de tourner. L'expérience montre en outre que cette épaisseur joue le rôle d'amortisseur en absorbant une fraction notable des chocs et vibrations transmis à la potence par la fourche de la bicyclette intéressée. According to another characteristic of the invention, a thickness of deformable plastic material is disposed in the slot of the collar which creeps during tightening and is applied against the hanger which it radically prevents from turning. Experience also shows that this thickness acts as a shock absorber by absorbing a significant fraction of the shocks and vibrations transmitted to the stem by the fork of the bicycle concerned.

Le dessin annexe, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer
Fig. 1 est une vue en perspective explosée d'une potence de guidon suivant l'invention.
The accompanying drawing, given by way of example, will make it possible to better understand the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is likely to provide.
Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a handlebar stem according to the invention.

Fig. 2 en est une vue de côté avec coupe partielle. Fig. 2 is a side view with partial section.

La potence représentée comprend comme à l'ordinaire une partie ou plongeur 1 légèrement oblique par rapport à la verticale, solidaire d'une partie ou avancée 2 substantiellement horizontale et orientée de façon à déterminer un angle aigu avec le plongeur 1. L'extrémité de cette avancée 2 opposée du plongeur 1 est solidaire d'un collier fendu ou oeil 3. La fente de ce collier, référencée 4 en fig. 1, est prévue sur la face de celui-ci tournée vers le plongeur 1 et elle est orientée à peu près perpendiculairement à celle-ci. Comme montré, elle est délimitée dans le bas par une lêvre 3a qui constitue, si l'on veut, I'extrmité libre du collier 3 et dans le haut par une surface plane 3b découpée dans la zone de raccordement entre l'avancée 2 et le collier 3. The represented gallows comprises as usual a part or plunger 1 slightly oblique with respect to the vertical, integral with a part or projection 2 substantially horizontal and oriented so as to determine an acute angle with the plunger 1. The end of this opposite projection 2 of the plunger 1 is integral with a split collar or eye 3. The slot of this collar, referenced 4 in FIG. 1, is provided on the face of the latter facing the plunger 1 and it is oriented approximately perpendicular thereto. As shown, it is delimited at the bottom by a lip 3a which constitutes, if desired, the free end of the collar 3 and at the top by a flat surface 3b cut in the connection zone between the projection 2 and the collar 3.

La lèvre 3a est percée d'un trou lisse 3c dans lequel passe une vis 5 qui vient se visser dans un trou borgne 2a perce dans l'avancée 2 à peu près parallèlement à l'axe du plongeur 1. Le trou 2a est préférablement muni à cet effet d'un filetage en acier rapporté, du genre connu sous la désignation "Hélicon". The lip 3a is pierced with a smooth hole 3c through which passes a screw 5 which is screwed into a blind hole 2a pierces in the projection 2 roughly parallel to the axis of the plunger 1. The hole 2a is preferably provided for this purpose an added steel thread, of the kind known under the designation "Helicon".

On notera que le collier 3 n'est pas à épaisseur régulière. It will be noted that the collar 3 is not of regular thickness.

Celle-ci est renforcée dans la zone antérieure référencée A, c'est-à-dire dans celle opposée au plongeur 1, tandis qu'elle est au contraire réduite dans la zone référencée B au-dessous de l'alésage de ce collier 3.This is reinforced in the anterior zone referenced A, that is to say in that opposite the plunger 1, while it is on the contrary reduced in the zone referenced B below the bore of this collar 3 .

La fente 4 est prévue de façon à renfermer normalement une plaquette 6 (fig. 1) faite en une matière plastique relativement déformable et convenablement perforée en 6a pour le passage de la vis 5. The slot 4 is provided so as to normally enclose a plate 6 (fig. 1) made of a relatively deformable plastic material and suitably perforated at 6a for the passage of the screw 5.

La potence représentée en fig. 1 est destinée à recevoir un cintre de guidon 7, comme représenté en fig. 2, ce cintre étant engagé dans le collier 3 où il est bloqué en position par serrage de la vis 5. The gallows shown in fig. 1 is intended to receive a handlebar hanger 7, as shown in FIG. 2, this hanger being engaged in the collar 3 where it is locked in position by tightening the screw 5.

L'expérience démontre que grâce à la surépaisseur A et à l'amincissement B, lors du serrage, la face de la lèvre 3a en vis-à-vis de la surface 3b reste parallèle à celle-ci, au contraire de ce qui est le cas dans les constructions connues où ces deux faces se décalent angulairement l'une par rapport à l'autre au fur et à mesure du serrage. Quant à la plaquette 6, il convient de noter tout d'abord qu'elle contribue à réaliser ce parallélisme des faces en vis-à-vis de la fente 4. Si en fig. 2 on suppose que la lèvre 3a ait tendance à se tordre dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre on comprend que la compression locale de la plaquette 6 combattrait cette tendance. Experience shows that thanks to the extra thickness A and the thinning B, during tightening, the face of the lip 3a facing the surface 3b remains parallel to the latter, contrary to what is the case in known constructions where these two faces offset angularly with respect to each other as and when tightening. As for the plate 6, it should first be noted that it contributes to achieving this parallelism of the faces opposite the slot 4. If in FIG. 2 it is assumed that the lip 3a tends to twist in the direction of clockwise it is understood that the local compression of the wafer 6 would combat this tendency.

En second lieu, sous l'effet de la pression la matière constitutive de la plaquette 6 tend à fluer latéralement. Elle vient ainsi exercer une forte pression contre la périphérie du cintre 7 qui ne risque donc plus de tourner intempestivement dans le collier 3. Secondly, under the effect of the pressure, the material constituting the wafer 6 tends to creep laterally. It thus exerts a strong pressure against the periphery of the hanger 7 which therefore no longer risks inadvertently turning in the collar 3.

Enfin l'expérience a encore montré de façon assez inattendue que la présence de cette plaquette plastique 6 réalise un amortissement notable des vibrations que la fourche de la bicyclette impose à la potence. Les poignées du cintre sont donc moins sollicitées et la fatigue du cycliste s en trouve réduite d'autant. Finally, experience has again shown, quite unexpectedly, that the presence of this plastic plate 6 achieves a significant damping of the vibrations that the fork of the bicycle imposes on the stem. The handlebars of the hanger are therefore less stressed and the cyclist's fatigue is reduced accordingly.

On peut noter subsidiairement que l'agencement général permet de donner à la potence un aspect aérodynamique particulièrement harmonieux, bien supérieur à cet égard à celui des potences connues du genre en question. It may be noted in the alternative that the general arrangement makes it possible to give the stem a particularly harmonious aerodynamic appearance, much superior in this respect to that of the known stems of the genus in question.

I1 doit d'ailleurs être entendu que la description qui précède n'a été donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'exécution décrits par tous autres équivalents.  It should moreover be understood that the above description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the field of the invention from which one would not depart by replacing the execution details described by all other equivalents.
