Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un moyen de préhension d'une bicyclette et, plus particulièrement, d'une bicyclette destinée à des parcours de type montagneux, désignée le plus souvent par le terme anglo-saxon "mountain bike". The present invention relates to a gripping means of a bicycle and, more particularly, of a bicycle intended for mountainous type routes, generally designated by the Anglo-Saxon term "mountain bike".
Dans les parcours de cyclo-cross, il est courant de voir les coureurs porter leur bicyclette sur le dos afin de passer certains obstacles, tels que notamment des pentes raides. Le coin du cadre voisin de la selle est alors souvent accroché sur une épaule. Cela est possible car le cadre est assez grand pour y passer facilement et rapidement le bras et que le coin de cadre voisin de la selle est relativement haut. In cyclo-cross courses, it is common to see runners carrying their bicycles on their backs in order to pass certain obstacles, such as notably steep slopes. The corner of the frame next to the saddle is often hung on a shoulder. This is possible because the frame is large enough to pass the arm easily and quickly and the corner of the frame next to the saddle is relatively high.
les bicyclettes de parcours montagneux, dite "mountain bike", ont des roues relativement petites, par exemple d'un diamètre de 650 mm, ce qui abaisse déjà le coin du cadre voisin de la selle. Par ailleurs, les cadres de ces bicyclettes ne sont pas hauts, particulièrement quand on prévoit que la bicyclette peut servir aussi bien à une- femme qu a un homme, ce qui entraîne l'abaissement de la barre haute du cadre. mountain bikes, known as "mountain bikes", have relatively small wheels, for example with a diameter of 650 mm, which already lowers the corner of the frame adjacent to the saddle. Furthermore, the frames of these bicycles are not high, particularly when it is expected that the bicycle can be used for both a woman and a man, which results in the lowering of the high bar of the frame.
I1 apparaît qu'une fois la barre haute abaissée, le cadre ne constitue plus une grande ouverture si bien que le passage du bras dans le cadre devient difficile. I1 appears that once the high bar is lowered, the frame no longer constitutes a large opening so that the passage of the arm in the frame becomes difficult.
Un objet de l'invention consiste à prévoir un moyen permettant de saisir un cadre de bicyclette à barre horizontale abaissée, par exemple du type "mountain bike" afin de pouvoir le porter lors de la rencontre d'un obstacle obligeant le cycliste à mettre pied à terre. An object of the invention is to provide a means for grasping a bicycle frame with a lowered horizontal bar, for example of the "mountain bike" type so that it can be worn when encountering an obstacle forcing the cyclist to set foot. down.
Suivant une caractéristique de l'invention, il est prévu, dans un cadre de bicyclette comportant une barre pratiquement horizontale entre le tube de selle et le tube de fourche, un tube pratiquement vertical entre le tube de selle et le pédalier et un tube diagonal entre le tube de fourche et le pédalier, une poignée située juste au-dessus des plateaux de pédalier entre le tube diagonal et le tube vertical. According to a characteristic of the invention, there is provided, in a bicycle frame comprising a practically horizontal bar between the seat tube and the fork tube, a practically vertical tube between the saddle tube and the crankset and a diagonal tube between the fork tube and the bottom bracket, a handle located just above the bottom brackets between the down tube and the vertical tube.
Suivant une autre caractéristique, la poignée est un tronçon de tube rigide court. According to another characteristic, the handle is a short rigid tube section.
Suivant une autre caractéristique, la poignée est concave vers le pédalier. According to another characteristic, the handle is concave towards the bottom bracket.
Suivant une autre caractéristique, la zone médiane de la poignée se trouve à environ 25 cm au-dessous de la barre horizontale du cadre
Suivant une autre caractéristique, les extrémités de la poignée sont respectivement soudées aux tubes vertical et diagonal.According to another characteristic, the middle zone of the handle is about 25 cm below the horizontal bar of the frame
According to another characteristic, the ends of the handle are respectively welded to the vertical and diagonal tubes.
Suivant une autre caractéristique, les extrémités de la poignée comporte des systèmes d'attache rapide permettant de les relier respectivement au tube vertical et au tube diagonal. According to another characteristic, the ends of the handle include quick-coupling systems making it possible to connect them respectively to the vertical tube and to the diagonal tube.
Suivant une autre caractéristique, les systèmes d'attache rapide sont des clips. According to another characteristic, the quick coupling systems are clips.
Les caractéristiques de l'invention mentionnées di-dessus, ainsi que d'autres, apparaitront plus clairement à la lecture de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, ladite description étant faite en relation avec le dessin de la Fig. unique jointe. The characteristics of the invention mentioned above, as well as others, will appear more clearly on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment, said description being made in relation to the drawing of FIG. single attached.
La bicyclette montrée dans le dessin comprend classiquement un cadre formé d'un tube presque horizontal 1, encore appelé barre horizontale, d'un tube presque vertical 2, encore appelé tube de selle, d'un tube diagonal ou oblique 3, d'un tube de fourche 4 porté par une fourche avant 5 et portant un guidon 6, d'une fourche arrière supérieure 7 et d'une fourche arrière inférieure 8, une roue avant 9, une roue arrière 10, une selle 11 et un pédalier 12. The bicycle shown in the drawing conventionally comprises a frame formed by an almost horizontal tube 1, also called horizontal bar, by an almost vertical tube 2, also called seat tube, by a diagonal or oblique tube 3, by a fork tube 4 carried by a front fork 5 and carrying a handlebar 6, an upper rear fork 7 and a lower rear fork 8, a front wheel 9, a rear wheel 10, a saddle 11 and a crankset 12.
A titre d'exemple, les roues avant 9 et arrière 10 ont un diamètre de l'ordre de 65 cm. La garde au sol du pédalier 12, éventuellement protégé vers le bas, est de l'ordre de 33 cm et la hauteur du tube 1 au-dessus du sol, à l'aplomb de l'axe du pédalier 12, est de l'ordre de 70 cm. Le tube de réglage de la hauteur de la selle 11 et la hauteur du tube 1 permettent à un homme aussi bien qu'à une femme d'utiliser la bicyclette. La distance entre les axes des roues avant et arrière est d'environ 100 à 105 cm. Il apparaît que, dans ces conditions, le cadre est très allongé et qu'en parti,cu- lier la distance entre le tube 1 et le pourtour du plateau de pédalier le plus grand est de l'ordre de 40 cm. Les mouvements à effectuer pour mettre sur son épaule une telle bicyclette ne sont pas commodes.Il faut beaucoup se baisser De plus, si, comme le montre le dessin, le tube horizontal 1 monte vers l'avant, la position du coin voisin de la selle 11 sur l'épaule n'est pas stable. By way of example, the front 9 and rear 10 wheels have a diameter of the order of 65 cm. The ground clearance of the bottom bracket 12, possibly protected down, is of the order of 33 cm and the height of the tube 1 above the floor, perpendicular to the axis of the bottom bracket 12, is of the order of 70 cm. The seat height adjustment tube 11 and the height of the tube 1 allow a man as well as a woman to use the bicycle. The distance between the axes of the front and rear wheels is approximately 100 to 105 cm. It appears that, under these conditions, the frame is very elongated and that, in part, the distance between the tube 1 and the periphery of the largest bottom bracket is of the order of 40 cm. The movements to carry out to put on his shoulder such a bicycle are not convenient. It is necessary to bend down a lot. Furthermore, if, as shown in the drawing, the horizontal tube 1 rises forward, the position of the corner next to the saddle 11 on the shoulder is not stable.
C'est pourquoi, suivant l'invention, on a prévu une poignée 13, juste au-dessus des plateaux de pédalier, entre le tube vertical 2 et le tube diagonal 3. Dans l'exemple de réalisation montré, la poignée 13 est un tronçon de tube rigide, concave vers le bas, les extrémités du tronçon de tube étant respectivement soudées aux tubes 2 et 3. On notera que la distance entre le haut de la poignée 13 et le tube 1 est de l'ordre de 25 cm, ce qui correspond à la distance moyenne entre le creux de la main et celui du coude. Ainsi, en passant le bras par dessus le tube 1, il est très facile de saisir la poignée 13 et de soulever la bicyclette. Cela permet de soulever et porter la bicyclette d'une seule main. This is why, according to the invention, a handle 13 is provided, just above the bottom brackets, between the vertical tube 2 and the down tube 3. In the embodiment shown, the handle 13 is a rigid tube section, concave downwards, the ends of the tube section being respectively welded to tubes 2 and 3. It will be noted that the distance between the top of the handle 13 and the tube 1 is of the order of 25 cm, which corresponds to the average distance between the palm of the hand and that of the elbow. Thus, by passing the arm over the tube 1, it is very easy to grasp the handle 13 and lift the bicycle. This allows you to lift and carry the bicycle with one hand.
D'autres formes de réalisation de la poignée sont possibles. Other embodiments of the handle are possible.
Ainsi, toujours en partant d'un tronçon de tube rigide, on peut prévoir, à ses extrémités des dispositifs de fixation amovibles, telles que des plaques qui se vissent sur des plaques associées portées sur les tubes 2 et 3. On peut aussi munir les extrémités du tronçon 13 de clips qui s'accrochent élastiquement aux tubes 2 et 3.Thus, still starting from a rigid tube section, it is possible to provide, at its ends, removable fixing devices, such as plates which are screwed onto associated plates carried on the tubes 2 and 3. It is also possible to provide the ends of the section 13 of clips which hook elastically to the tubes 2 and 3.
De préférence, les branches de ces clips sont revêtus d'une couche de matière élastique ou plastique de manière à ne pas rayer les tubes émaillés. La poignée peut aussi être souple, par exemple en treillis métallique serré, etc. Preferably, the branches of these clips are coated with a layer of elastic or plastic material so as not to scratch the enamelled tubes. The handle can also be flexible, for example in tight wire mesh, etc.
