Abstract

This invention consists in creating one or more compressed air reservoirs in the main tubes or pressed sheet metal elements constituting the frame of the cycles and mopeds, either by blocking their ends for some, or by sealed assemblies or built-in reservoirs for others. By virtue of valves fitted to the inflating machines at garages and service stations for use by cars, fixed to the tanks in question, they may be pressurised each time it is necessary and, if need be, used for inflating tyres with the aid of a suitable connector.

Description

DESCRIPTION
Cette invention permet de remplacer ia pompe à main montée extérieurement sur les cycles et cyclomoteurs par un ou plusieurs réservoirs d'air comprimé constitués par les tubes, rendus étanches, du cadre de ces engins.DESCRIPTION
This invention makes it possible to replace the hand pump mounted externally on cycles and mopeds with one or more compressed air tanks constituted by the tubes, made watertight, of the frame of these machines.

Conséquences : rapidité de gonflage, suppression des efforts physiques pendant cette opération et, éventuellement, des déconvenues provoquées par la perte ou le vol de la pompe.Consequences: rapid inflation, elimination of physical efforts during this operation and, possibly, disappointments caused by the loss or theft of the pump.

Les principaux tubes du cadre des cycles et cyclomoteurs, obturés hermétiquement à leurs extrémités, par l'intermédiaire des raccords de cadre ou autres assemblages, au moyen des éléments qui les réunissent : tube de direction, bottier de pédalier (ne comportant évidemment pas d'ouverture aux emplacements des jonctions) ou de leur assemblage entre eux : tube horizontal et tube de selle, (obturé par une coupelle soudée ou brasée à un endroit permettant l'introduction de la tige de selle) forment des réservoirs. The main tubes of the frame of cycles and mopeds, hermetically sealed at their ends, by means of frame fittings or other assemblies, by means of the elements which bring them together: head tube, bottom bracket (obviously not having opening at the locations of the junctions) or of their assembly together: horizontal tube and seat tube, (closed by a welded or brazed cup at a place allowing the introduction of the seat post) form reservoirs.

Le tube de selle peut également être obturé par la compression de joints serrés entre des coupelles ou rondelles indépendamment ou ensemble ou encore par l'emboîtement et le blocage, dans le tube de selle, de la tige de selle elle-meme, fermée au moins à une extrémité et munie de joints annulaires dans des rainures appropriées, pratiquées dans la partie emboîtée ou enfin par la combinaison des deux séparément ou ensemble. The seat tube can also be closed by compressing tight seals between cups or washers independently or together or by fitting and locking, in the seat tube, the seat post itself, closed at least at one end and provided with annular seals in appropriate grooves, formed in the nested part or finally by the combination of the two separately or together.

Les réservoirs, définis ci-dessus, peuvent être réunis entre eux, pour ne constituer qu'une ou deux réserves, par des conduits à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur du tube de direction et du boîtier de pédalier, fixés sur eux, débouchant de part et d'autre à l'intérieur des tubes qui sty adaptent. Ces conduits peuvent également être constitués par le volume intérieur de tube de direction et de bottier de pédalier à double paroi, communiquant avec les tubes du cadre par des orifices percés dans la paroi extérieure aux emplacements ou ils s'y adaptent. Les tubes de la fourche horizontale peuvent alors éventuellement être utilisés comme réservoirs d'air en communiquant de la même façon. The tanks, defined above, can be joined together, to constitute only one or two reserves, by conduits inside or outside of the head tube and the bottom bracket, fixed on them, opening out on both sides inside the tubes which adapt. These conduits can also be formed by the interior volume of the double-walled head tube and bottom bracket, communicating with the tubes of the frame through holes drilled in the external wall at the locations where they adapt to them. The tubes of the horizontal fork can then possibly be used as air tanks by communicating in the same way.

Une double paroi du boîtier de pédalier peut être obtenue par l'utilisation d'un ensemble monobloc constitué d'un tube renfermant les roulements et l'axe de pédalier. Ce tube peut être vissé directement dans le filetage prévu à cet effet à l'intérieur et de chaque côté du boîtier de pédalier. I1 peut également y être vissé par l'intermédiaire de coupelles dans lesquelles il s'emboite hermétiquement par ses deux extrêmités. L'étanchéité est obtenue à l'aide de film en matière plastique dans les filetages ou autres produits d'étanchéité. Des rondelles d'étanchéité peuvent également être insérées entre les écrous ou contre-écrous vissés généralement de chaque côté de ces ensembles monoblocs et le bottier de pédalier pour les bloquer dans leur position. Une soupape de sûreté peut être utilisée pour palier les surpressions éventuelles de réservoirs. A double wall of the bottom bracket can be obtained by using a monobloc assembly consisting of a tube containing the bearings and the bottom bracket. This tube can be screwed directly into the thread provided for this purpose inside and on each side of the bottom bracket. I1 can also be screwed into it by means of cups in which it fits hermetically by its two ends. The seal is obtained using plastic film in the threads or other sealants. Sealing washers can also be inserted between the nuts or locknuts generally screwed on each side of these monoblock assemblies and the bottom bracket to lock them in their position. A safety valve can be used to compensate for any overpressures in tanks.

Pour les cyclomoteurs dont le cadre est composé d'éléments assemblés de tôles embouties, la ou les réserves d'air peuvent y etre constituées par un assemblage étanche ou, sinon, en y incorporant un réservoir étanche. For mopeds, the frame of which is made up of elements assembled from stamped sheets, the air reserve or reserves may be formed therein by a sealed assembly or, if not, by incorporating a sealed reservoir therein.

Une ou plusieurs valves correspondant aux appareils de gonflage employés dans les garages ou stations service fixées sur ce ou ces réservoirs ou réserves, permet leur mise en pression aussi souvent que nécessaire. One or more valves corresponding to the inflation devices used in garages or service stations attached to this or these tanks or reserves, allows them to be pressurized as often as necessary.

Un raccord souple, muni éventuellement d'un manomètre, adapté, à une extrémité, à la valve des boyaux ou pneumatiques montés sur les cycles ou aux pneumatiques montés sur les cyclomoteurs, l'autre extrémité, à une valve du cadre, commandant l'ouverture et la fermeture de l'air comprimé, assure le gonflage, à la demande, des uns ou des autres.  A flexible connector, possibly fitted with a pressure gauge, adapted, at one end, to the valve of the hoses or tires mounted on the cycles or to the tires mounted on the mopeds, the other end, to a valve of the frame, controlling the opening and closing of compressed air, ensures inflation, on demand, of one or the other.
