Abstract

The land vehicle is man-powered being a streamlined bicycle with stabilisers. The entirely streamlined vehicle moves only on two wheels and therefore requires the use of the stabilisers when at a standstill, and they are retractable into the faring. The vehicle also include a tubular structure to which the stabilisers are attached. Stabilisers are formed with vertical shaft whose top has ball-and-socket joint and the bottom has an eccentric mounted on a ball bearing. ADVANTAGE - Has collapsible stabiliser which allows elimination of permanent tricycle configuration and with driven in lengthwise position, better transmission of muscular power is achieved.

Description

VE@LCULE TERRESTRE A PROPULSION BUMAINE
BICYCLE CARENE AVEC STABILTSATEURS
La présente invention, concerne un véhicule terrestre i pro.VE @ LCULE TERRESTRE A PROPULSION BUMAINE
BICYCLE CARENE WITH STABILIZERS
The present invention relates to a land vehicle i pro.

plusion humaine, a deux roues entièrement caréné, Muni d'un ou plusieurs stabilisateurs pour maintenir celui-ci en équi- libre à l'arrêt, ces stabilisateurs s'escamotant totalement dans le carénage.plusion human, two wheels fully faired, Equipped with one or more stabilizers to keep it in balance when stopped, these stabilizers retracting completely in the fairing.

Les véhicules carénés a propulsion humaine qui existent actuellement, utilisent le tricycle, ce qui permet une stabi- lité permanente, mais a des inconvénients t peu de stabilité dans les virages par grande vitesse, un carénage important en largeur du fait des roues, donc-une augmentation de la surface frontale et augmentation du poids.The fairing vehicles with human propulsion which currently exist, use the tricycle, which allows a permanent stability, but has disadvantages t little stability in the turns by high speed, an important fairing in width because of the wheels, therefore- increased frontal area and increased weight.

Pour éviter ces inconvéniente, le véhicule a deux roues permet d'autre part des évelutions comparables à la moto dans les courbes. Par centre le véhicule a deux roues exige des stabilisateurs, qui, comme le train d'attérissage rentrant d'un avion, s'effacent totalement a l'intérieur du carénage.To avoid these drawbacks, the two-wheeled vehicle also allows developments comparable to the motorbike in curves. By center, the two-wheeled vehicle requires stabilizers, which, like the landing gear returning from an airplane, completely disappear inside the fairing.

La description du iéhicule ne diffère pas des engins exis- tants hors ses deux roues au lieu d'un tricycle. The description of the vehicle does not differ from the existing gear other than its two wheels instead of a tricycle.

Le pilote est assis dans une position allongée pour obtenir la meilleure transmission des efforts musculaires. The pilot sits in a reclining position to obtain the best transmission of muscular efforts.

Deux nouveautés essentielles existent
La premi8re est que l'ossature du véhicule au lieu d'être en alliage léger utilise des tubes en composite qui sont reliés suivant une tecunique déjà brevetée et publiée (n 8608761 du 13 Juin 1986).Two essential novelties exist
The first is that the frame of the vehicle instead of being of light alloy uses composite tubes which are connected according to a technique already patented and published (n 8608761 of June 13, 1986).

D'autre part, l'engin se déplaçant sur deux roues seule- ment, un ou plusieurs stabilisateurs sont encastres dans le corps de l'engin et se dégage avant l'arrêt complet du véhicule pour permettre sa stabilité.On the other hand, the machine moving on two wheels only, one or more stabilizers are embedded in the body of the machine and disengages before the complete stop of the vehicle to allow its stability.

Chaque stabilisateur est composé d'un axe vertical dont la partie haute est reliée à une rotule et la partie inférieure a une roue folle montée eur roulement à bille.Each stabilizer is made up of a vertical axis, the upper part of which is connected to a ball joint and the lower part of which has a loose wheel mounted on a ball bearing.

Hormis ces deux nouveautés, transmission, direction, freinage ne varient pas des utilisations courantes actuelles. Apart from these two new features, transmission, steering, braking do not vary from current common uses.
