Abstract

The invention relates to a device allowing a pedal to oscillate in vertical plane and in horizontal plane without measurable play or friction right through the revolution, thus, despite a shoe firmly attached to the pedal, preventing injuries to the joints and ligaments. It consists of a body (1) resting, at its centre of thrust, on a rolling bearing operating in a misaligned way (2) (or a ball joint with balls) allowing, apart from revolution, an oscillation in the vertical and horizontal planes. This freedom about these two axes may be adjusted by simple translation of the cone (4) along the threaded spindle. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for bicycles and other machines transmitting human power via pedals and cranks.

Description

DESCRIPTION
PEDALE DE VELO MOBILE SUR 3 AXES, A LIBERTE REGLABLE
La présente invention concerne un dispositif assurant à une pédale de vélo deux libertés de mouvement supplémentaires, dans le plan vertical et dans le plan horizontal d'amplitude réglable.DESCRIPTION
MOBILE BIKE PEDAL ON 3 AXES, WITH ADJUSTABLE FREEDOM
The present invention relates to a device ensuring a bicycle pedal two additional freedom of movement, in the vertical plane and in the horizontal plane of adjustable amplitude.

Certaines pédales de vélo permettent de solidariser très fermement et sans jeu la chaussure à la pédale ce qui entraine des sollicitations orthopédiques à chaque révolution, occasionnant en utilisation intensive , des traumatismes articulaires et ligamentaires parfois irréversibles notamment au niveau des genoux. Certain bicycle pedals make it possible to secure the shoe to the pedal very firmly and without play, which causes orthopedic stresses at each revolution, causing in intensive use, joint and ligament injuries which are sometimes irreversible, especially at the knees.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.

Il est constitué en effet d'une pédale dont la particularité est d'autoriser un fonctionnement désaligné , de sorte que tout au long de la révolution le pied de l'utilisateur a toute liberté de rotation horizontale et de basculement vertical sans jeu et sans frottement mesurable , malgré une ferme solidarisation de la chaussure à la pédale. It consists in fact of a pedal whose particularity is to authorize misaligned operation, so that throughout the revolution the foot of the user has complete freedom of horizontal rotation and vertical tilting without play and without friction measurable, despite firm attachment of the shoe to the pedal.

La révolution est sans contrainte orthopédique et permet d'appliquer l'effort dans le meilleur respect de la bio-mécanique particulière de chaque individu. The revolution is without orthopedic constraint and allows to apply the effort in the best respect of the particular bio-mechanics of each individual.

La mobilité est obtenue soit par l'utilisation d'un roulement du commerce à double rangée de billes à fonctionnement désaligné dont la piste externe est un anneau de sphère ( soit par une rotule à bille) placé au centre de poussée de la pédale. Mobility is obtained either by using a commercially available double row ball bearing with misaligned operation, the external track of which is a sphere ring (or by a ball joint) placed at the center of thrust of the pedal.

L'amplitude de la liberté d'oscillation peut être réglée par l'interposition en position latérale interne d'un roulement dont la portée sur l'axe est contituée d'un cône qui , par translation, augmente ou limite de O à 100 environ les libertés d'oscillation pour les fixer aux valeurs souhaitées.  The amplitude of the freedom of oscillation can be adjusted by the interposition in the internal lateral position of a bearing whose bearing on the axis is made up of a cone which, by translation, increases or limits from 0 to 100 approximately the freedom of oscillation to fix them at the desired values.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent respectivement en plan et en coupe le dispositif selon l'invention. Figures 1 and 2 show respectively in plan and in section the device according to the invention.

Le dispositif comporte:
- un corps de pédale (1) percé en son axe de rotation d'un alésage 20 environ dans lequel sont usinés deux sièges de roulements 22 environ, l'un en son axe d'oscillation destiné au roulement central à fonctionnement désaligné (2) (auquel peut être substitué une rotule à bille), l'autre en son extrémité côté manivelle , destiné à la piste externe (3) du roulement de réglage d'oscillation.The device includes:
- a pedal body (1) pierced in its axis of rotation with a bore 20 approximately in which two bearing seats 22 are machined, one in its axis of oscillation intended for the central bearing with misaligned operation (2) (which can be replaced by a ball joint), the other at its end on the crank side, intended for the external track (3) of the oscillation adjustment bearing.

- un axe de pédale possèdant côte manivelle une partie filetée 13 X 100 environ destinée à recevoir le cône de réglage (4) et son contre-écrou de blocage (5), une partie cylindrique 12 environ à l'extrémité de laquelle est usinée la portée du roulement central (2)( ou de la rotule) au diamètre 8 environ et le filetage pour l'écrou (6) d'immobilisation de la piste interne. - a pedal axle having a crank side with a threaded portion 13 X 100 approximately intended to receive the adjustment cone (4) and its locking lock nut (5), a cylindrical portion 12 approximately at the end of which the bearing of the central bearing (2) (or of the ball joint) to the diameter approximately 8 and the thread for the nut (6) immobilizing the internal track.

Le dispositif est complété par un capuchon (7) immobilisant la piste externe du roulement central ( ou de la rotule ) et assurant l'étancheïté , par un jonc (8) d'arrêt de la piste externe (3) du roulement de réglage d'oscillations , et par un soufflet en caoutchouc synthétique (9) d'étancheïté côté manivelle. The device is completed by a cap (7) immobilizing the external track of the central bearing (or of the ball joint) and ensuring the tightness, by a ring (8) for stopping the external track (3) of the adjustment bearing d 'oscillations, and by a synthetic rubber bellows (9) on the crank side.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné aux bicyclettes et autres machines transmettant l'énergie humaine par pédales et manivelles.  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for bicycles and other machines transmitting human energy by pedals and cranks.
