Description

DISPOSITIF DE FIXATION D'UN CYCLE POURVU D'UNE SELLE
SUR UN SUPPORT EQUIPANT UN VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'un cycle pourvu d'une selle sur un support équipant un véhicule automobile, le cycle se trouvant en appui sur le support par ses roues et dans une position généralement verticale.
DEVICE FOR FIXING A CYCLE PROVIDED WITH A SADDLE
ON A SUPPORT EQUIPPED WITH A MOTOR VEHICLE
The present invention relates to a device for fixing a cycle provided with a saddle on a support fitted to a motor vehicle, the cycle being supported on the support by its wheels and in a generally vertical position.

Par le terme "cycle", on entend dans l'ensemble de la présente description et des revendications, les véhicules à deux roues du groupe suivant : bicyclette, tandem, cyclomoteur, vélomoteur, motocyclette. By the term "cycle" is meant throughout this description and the claims, two-wheeled vehicles of the following group: bicycle, tandem, moped, moped, motorcycle.

Par le terme "support" on entend aussi bien une remorque qu'un porte-charge fixé à l'arrière ou sur le toit d'un véhicule. By the term "support" is meant both a trailer and a load carrier fixed to the rear or on the roof of a vehicle.

Des dispositifs de fixation de cycles sur une remorque ou sur un porte-charge monté sur l'attelage arrière de véhicules automobiles ont déjà été proposés.
Ainsi, on décrit dans la demande de brevet français nO 2-642 378 un dispositif permettant le maintien de motocyclettes sur une remorque de transport. Ce dispositif comprend un châssis réglable solidaire de la remorque, qui s'adapte à la taille des motocyclettes. Il comprend également des paires d'étriers réglables qui permettent d'emprisonner les tubes de fourches des motocyclettes. Ce dispositif donne satisfaction pour la fixation de motocyclettes dont les fourches sont facilement accessibles.
Devices for fixing cycles on a trailer or on a load carrier mounted on the rear coupling of motor vehicles have already been proposed.
Thus, there is described in French patent application No. 2-642 378 a device for maintaining motorcycles on a transport trailer. This device includes an adjustable chassis secured to the trailer, which adapts to the size of motorcycles. It also includes pairs of adjustable stirrups that allow the tubes of forks to be trapped in motorcycles. This device gives satisfaction for the fixing of motorcycles whose forks are easily accessible.

Toutefois, un tel dispositif ne convient pas pour d'autres motocyclettes par exemple celles qui comportent un carénage qui empêche l'accès facile à ces fourches.However, such a device is not suitable for other motorcycles, for example those which have a fairing which prevents easy access to these forks.

On décrit dans la demande de brevet français nO 2 642 024 un dispositif porte-bicyclette fixé sur l'attelage arrière d'un véhicule automobile. Le dispositif comprend un élément en forme de crosse réglable dont la partie supérieure prend appui sur le tube sensiblement horizontal du cadre de la bicyclette. L'inconvénient principal d'un tel dispositif est qu'il ne peut s'adapter à la fixation de vélomoteurs ou de motocyclettes. French patent application No. 2,642,024 describes a bicycle carrier device fixed to the rear coupling of a motor vehicle. The device comprises an adjustable buttstock-shaped element, the upper part of which rests on the substantially horizontal tube of the frame of the bicycle. The main drawback of such a device is that it cannot be adapted to the attachment of mopeds or motorcycles.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients. Dans ce but elle propose un dispositif de fixation d'un cycle pourvu d'une selle sur un support équipant un véhicule automobile, de conception simple, s'adaptant à tous les types de cycles tels que définis plus haut. Le dispositif est d'un maniement aisé et permet la fixation d'un cycle en toute sécurité. The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks. To this end, it provides a device for fixing a cycle provided with a saddle on a support fitted to a motor vehicle, of simple design, adapting to all types of cycles as defined above. The device is easy to handle and allows the attachment of a cycle in complete safety.

Ce dispositif est essentiellement caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend au moins un élément de blocage du cycle sur le support, cet élément ayant la forme générale d'un "U" renversé adapté pour enserrer la selle du cycle et le retenir par une action de serrage sensiblement dirigé de haut en bas. This device is essentially characterized in that it comprises at least one element for blocking the cycle on the support, this element having the general shape of an inverted "U" adapted to grip the saddle of the cycle and to retain it by an action of tightening substantially directed from top to bottom.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques avantageuses mais non limitatives
- l'effet de serrage provient en partie d'un effort de compression exercé sur les dispositifs de suspension et/ou les pneus du cycle
- le dispositif comprend au moins un poteau sensiblement vertical dont la base est solidaire dudit support et sur lequel est montée une potence sensiblement horizontale équipée dudit élément de blocage, des moyens permettant le coulissement et l'arrêt en translation verticale de cette potence par rapport au poteau
- lesdits moyens consistent en un manchon pourvu de vis de blocage
- ledit manchon est solidaire d'un second manchon disposé à angle droit, qui autorise le coulissement de la potence selon une direction horizontale
- l'une des branches du "U" renversé de l'élément de blocage fait partie intégrante de la potence alors que le second est solidaire d'un manchon coulissant pourvu d'une vis d'arrêt, monté sur la potence
- la potence peut être orientée par rapport au poteau selon des directions angulaires distantes de 900 les unes des autres.
According to other advantageous but non-limiting characteristics
- the clamping effect comes in part from a compression force exerted on the suspension devices and / or the tires of the cycle
- The device comprises at least one substantially vertical post whose base is integral with said support and on which is mounted a substantially horizontal bracket equipped with said blocking element, means allowing the sliding and stopping in vertical translation of this bracket relative to the post
- Said means consist of a sleeve provided with locking screws
- Said sleeve is integral with a second sleeve disposed at right angles, which allows the sliding of the bracket in a horizontal direction
- one of the branches of the inverted "U" of the blocking element is an integral part of the bracket while the second is integral with a sliding sleeve provided with a stop screw, mounted on the bracket
- The bracket can be oriented relative to the pole in angular directions spaced 900 from each other.

Les contours des deux motocyclettes représentés respectivement en traits mixtes et interrompus à la figure 1 sont ceux de motocyclettes de la marque HONDA. La motocyclette M1 est commercialisée sous l'appellation CBR 1000 F, et la motocyclette M2 sous l'appellation CRM 125. La superposition de ces deux contours montre que les selles S1 et S2 des deux motocyclettes sont positionnées longitudinalement pratiquement de la meme manière par rapport à leurs roues R1, R'1, respectivement R2, R'2. De plus, la hauteur des selles par rapport au sol H est sensiblement la meme, à quelques centimètres près. Cette constatation peut se généraliser sensiblement à l'ensemble des motocyclettes et des cycles à moteur. The contours of the two motorcycles shown respectively in phantom and broken lines in Figure 1 are those of motorcycles of the brand HONDA. The motorcycle M1 is marketed under the name CBR 1000 F, and the motorcycle M2 under the name CRM 125. The superposition of these two contours shows that the saddles S1 and S2 of the two motorcycles are positioned longitudinally in practically the same way with respect to at their wheels R1, R'1, respectively R2, R'2. In addition, the height of the stool relative to the ground H is substantially the same, to within a few centimeters. This observation can be generalized substantially to all motorcycles and motor cycles.

La présente invention est née de cette constatation et plus précisémment du fait qu'il était possible de concevoir un dispositif de fixation s'adaptant pratiquement sur tout type de cycle, la fixation de ce dernier se faisant au niveau de la selle. The present invention was born from this observation and more precisely from the fact that it was possible to design a fastening device adapting to practically any type of cycle, the fastening of the latter being carried out at the level of the saddle.

Le dispositif de l'invention, tel qu'il est représenté à la figure 2, est monté sur un dispositif porte-charge conforme à la demande de brevet nO 90 03588 déposée le 16 mars 1990 par le demandeur. Ce dispositif porte-charge porte la référence générale 4. Il comprend un plateau 40 formé de profilés métalliques, destiné à recevoir le cycle à fixer, ainsi que des rallonges coulissantes 41 et une plaque d'immatriculation 42 identique à celle du véhicule
V.
The device of the invention, as shown in Figure 2, is mounted on a load-carrying device according to patent application No. 90 03588 filed on March 16, 1990 by the applicant. This load-carrying device has the general reference 4. It comprises a plate 40 formed of metal profiles, intended to receive the cycle to be fixed, as well as sliding extensions 41 and a license plate 42 identical to that of the vehicle.
V.

Le dispositif de fixation de cycles est composé essentiellement d'un poteau 1, d'une potence 2, et d'un élément de blocage 8. The device for fixing cycles is essentially composed of a post 1, a stem 2, and a locking element 8.

Le poteau 1 est un profilé métallique tubulaire, de section carrée. Il est disposé verticalement et est fixé par sa base au dispositif porte-charge 4 par des moyens connus non représentés tels que des vis. The post 1 is a tubular metal profile, of square section. It is arranged vertically and is fixed by its base to the load-carrying device 4 by known means, not shown, such as screws.

La position longitudinale du poteau 1 sur le support 4 (c'est-à-dire sa position transversale par rapport au sens de déplacement du véhicule V) est déterminée pour correspondre à l'emplacement moyen qui - comme indiqué plus haut - est à peu près constant et indépendant du type de cycle, de la selle équipant le cycle auquel on a affaire, lorsque ce dernier est correctement en appui sur le support. The longitudinal position of the post 1 on the support 4 (that is to say its transverse position relative to the direction of movement of the vehicle V) is determined to correspond to the average location which - as indicated above - is approximately close constant and independent of the type of cycle, of the saddle equipping the cycle in question, when the latter is properly supported on the support.

Le poteau 1 reçoit un manchon 21 qui peut coulisser le long de ce dernier, l'arret en translation du manchon étant assuré par des vis de blocage 6 facilement manoeuvrables à la main, par exemple des vis dont la tete est munie d'un bouton moleté. Au manchon 21 est fixé, par exemple par soudage, un autre manchon 22 qui s'étend sensiblement horizontalement, et dans lequel est engagée la potence 2, également constituée d'un profilé métallique tubulaire à section carrée. The post 1 receives a sleeve 21 which can slide along the latter, the stop in translation of the sleeve being ensured by locking screws 6 which can be easily operated by hand, for example screws whose head is provided with a button knurled. To the sleeve 21 is fixed, for example by welding, another sleeve 22 which extends substantially horizontally, and in which the stem 2 is engaged, also consisting of a tubular metal section with square section.

Le poteau 1 ainsi que la potence 2 sont pourvus de goupilles 7 formant butée, limitant respectivement le coulissement du manchon 21 le long du poteau 1 et de la potence 2 par rapport au manchon 22. The post 1 as well as the stem 2 are provided with pins 7 forming a stop, respectively limiting the sliding of the sleeve 21 along the post 1 and of the stem 2 relative to the sleeve 22.

La potence 2 possède une extrémité 20 coudée vers le bas et orientée selon un angle aigu, de faible valeur, par rapport à la verticale. Sur la partie horizontale de la potence est monté un manchon coulissant 30 du même type que les manchons 21 et 22. Sur la face inférieure de ce manchon est soudée une tige 3 qui est orientée selon une direction symétrique à celle de l'extrémité 20 de la potence. Ainsi, la tige 3, la potence 2 ainsi que son extrémité 20 définissent une sorte de "U" renversé à branches légèrement divergentes qui, comme on le verra plus loin, constitue l'élément de blocage 8. The bracket 2 has an end 20 bent downward and oriented at an acute angle, of small value, relative to the vertical. On the horizontal part of the bracket is mounted a sliding sleeve 30 of the same type as the sleeves 21 and 22. On the underside of this sleeve is welded a rod 3 which is oriented in a direction symmetrical to that of the end 20 of gallows. Thus, the rod 3, the bracket 2 as well as its end 20 define a sort of inverted "U" with slightly divergent branches which, as will be seen below, constitutes the locking element 8.

Les manchons 22 et 30 possèdent des vis de blocage 6 du même type que celles qui équipent le manchon 21. Le montage d'une vis 6 sur le manchon 30 est montré plus particulièrement à la figure 4. Le blocage du manchon sur la potence 2 s'obtient par simple vissage, sous l'effet de la friction de l'extrémité de la vis, comme cela est bien connu. The sleeves 22 and 30 have locking screws 6 of the same type as those which equip the sleeve 21. The mounting of a screw 6 on the sleeve 30 is shown more particularly in FIG. 4. The locking of the sleeve on the bracket 2 is obtained by simple screwing, under the effect of the friction of the end of the screw, as is well known.

Le coulissement du manchon 30 le long de la potence 2 (flèche f, figure 3) est limité d'une part par le manchon 22, et d'autre part par un revêtement protecteur en caoutchouc synthétique 5 qui garnit l'extrémité 20 ainsi qu'une partie de la portion horizontale de la potence 2. Un revêtement similaire est également prévu sur la tige 3. The sliding of the sleeve 30 along the bracket 2 (arrow f, FIG. 3) is limited on the one hand by the sleeve 22, and on the other hand by a protective coating of synthetic rubber 5 which lines the end 20 as well as part of the horizontal portion of the stem 2. A similar coating is also provided on the rod 3.

Dans la position qu'elle occupe à la figure 2, la potence 2 est en position de non-utilisation, c'est-à-dire qu'elle est dirigée parallèlement à la direction longitudinale du support 4, transversalement par rapport à la direction d'avance du véhicule V. In the position it occupies in Figure 2, the bracket 2 is in the non-use position, that is to say that it is directed parallel to the longitudinal direction of the support 4, transversely to the direction vehicle advance V.

En vue de l'utilisation du dispositif pour la fixation d'un cycle on dispose la potence selon une direction perpendiculaire au support en enlevant dans un premier temps la goupille 7 qui équipe le poteau 1, en faisant coulisser le manchon 21 le long du poteau de manière à le désolidariser de celui-ci, et en remettant à nouveau le manchon sur le poteau après pivotement de la potence de 900 autour de l'axe vertical du poteau.With a view to using the device for fixing a cycle, the bracket is placed in a direction perpendicular to the support, first removing the pin 7 which is fitted to the pole 1, by sliding the sleeve 21 along the pole. so as to separate it therefrom, and again putting the sleeve back on the post after pivoting of the post by 900 around the vertical axis of the post.

La moto M1 représentée à la figure 5 est fixée sur un support 4 à l'aide du dispositif de l'invention. L'élément de blocage, dont on voit seulement l'extrémité 20, enserre la selle S1 de la moto. Les roues de la moto sont encastrées dans le support 4, dans des logements adéquats formés par les barres longitudinales et transversales (non représentées) constitutives de ce support. The motorcycle M1 shown in Figure 5 is fixed on a support 4 using the device of the invention. The locking element, of which only the end 20 can be seen, encloses the saddle S1 of the motorcycle. The wheels of the motorcycle are embedded in the support 4, in suitable housings formed by the longitudinal and transverse bars (not shown) constituting this support.

Après que le cycle ait été-placé sur le support, sa fixation s'opère de la manière suivante. After the cycle has been placed on the support, it is fixed as follows.

On positionne tout d'abord la potence 2 dans sa position active, comme expliqué plus haut, parallèle à la direction d'avance du véhicule, et on place le manchon 21 à une hauteur suffisante pour que les organes de blocage 20, 3 se trouvent au-dessus du niveau de la selle du cycle. Par coulissement de la potence 2 dans le manchon 22, on amène ensuite ces organes 20, 3 sensiblement à l'aplomb de la selle, puis on ajuste l'écartement mutuel de ces derniers, par coulissement du manchon 30 sur la potence, afin de les adapter à la largeur de la selle. Firstly, the bracket 2 is positioned in its active position, as explained above, parallel to the direction of advance of the vehicle, and the sleeve 21 is placed at a height sufficient for the locking members 20, 3 to be above the cycle saddle level. By sliding the stem 2 in the sleeve 22, these members 20, 3 are then brought substantially in line with the saddle, then the mutual spacing of the latter is adjusted, by sliding the sleeve 30 on the stem, in order to adapt them to the width of the saddle.

Une fois ces adaptations effectuées, on bloque les manchons 30 et 22, et on fait coulisser le manchon 21 vers le bas de telle façon que l'élément 8 vienne enserrer, à la manière d'une mâchoire, la selle S dont le cycle est équipé. Once these adaptations have been made, the sleeves 30 and 22 are blocked, and the sleeve 21 is made to slide down so that the element 8 comes to grip, in the manner of a jaw, the saddle S whose cycle is team.

On imprime alors à la potence 2 et à la selle S un mouvement dirigé de haut en bas. On comprend aisément que du fait que le cycle est en appui sur un support, cet effort provoque une action de serrage qui provient en grande partie de la compression exercée sur les suspensions A du cycle et également sur les pneus P de celui-ci. We then print on stem 2 and saddle S a movement directed from top to bottom. It is easy to understand that because the cycle is supported on a support, this effort causes a tightening action which comes largely from the compression exerted on the suspensions A of the cycle and also on the tires P thereof.

Lorsque cette action de serrage est réalisée, on immobilise en hauteur la potence 2 en vissant les vis 6 du manchon 21. When this tightening action is carried out, the bracket 2 is immobilized in height by screwing the screws 6 of the sleeve 21.

Le cycle se trouve alors parfaitement immobilisé, sous contrainte, entre le support 4 et l'élément 8. The cycle is then perfectly immobilized, under stress, between the support 4 and the element 8.

Bien entendu, si l'on souhaite compléter la fixation du cycle, il est toujours possible d'immobiliser en plus la partie avant de ce dernier à l'aide de sangles rattachées au support. Of course, if one wishes to complete the fixing of the cycle, it is always possible to immobilize in addition the front part of the latter using straps attached to the support.

Bien entendu, pour des bicyclettes ou autres cycles dépourvus de suspension, l'action de serrage provient uniquement de la compressibilité des pneus du cycle, ce qui est cependant suffisant car ce type de cycle est plus léger. Of course, for bicycles or other cycles without suspension, the tightening action comes only from the compressibility of the tires of the cycle, which is however sufficient because this type of cycle is lighter.

Les garnitures souples recouvrant les organes de serrage 3 et 20 préviennent toute détérioration du siège. The flexible linings covering the clamping members 3 and 20 prevent any deterioration of the seat.

On a représenté à la figure 7 un dispositif de fixation double qui comporte une base 10 solidaire de deux poteaux verticaux parallèles 1 et 1'. Sur ces poteaux sont fixées des potences 2 et 2' similaires à celles déjà décrites, pourvues chacune d'un élément de blocage de la selle 20-3, 20-3'. Un tel dispositif est particulièrement approprié pour être monté sur une remorque tractée par un véhicule ; il assure la fixation de deux cycles côte à cote, parallèlement à la direction d'avance du véhicule. FIG. 7 shows a double fixing device which comprises a base 10 secured to two parallel vertical posts 1 and 1 '. On these posts are fixed brackets 2 and 2 'similar to those already described, each provided with a blocking element of the saddle 20-3, 20-3'. Such a device is particularly suitable for being mounted on a trailer towed by a vehicle; it ensures the fixing of two cycles side by side, parallel to the direction of advance of the vehicle.

Lorsque l'on souhaite décharger le cycle du support sur lequel il se trouve, il est particulièrement avantageux d'enlever la potence 2 du poteau 1 de manière à l'orienter selon une direction parallèle à celle du cycle, la manoeuvre de déchargement de celui-ci étant ainsi facilitée. When it is desired to unload the cycle from the support on which it is located, it is particularly advantageous to remove the bracket 2 from the pole 1 so as to orient it in a direction parallel to that of the cycle, the unloading operation of that thus being facilitated.

A titre indicatif, la hauteur des poteaux 1, 1' sera de l'ordre de 0,9m et la longueur des potences 2, 2' de l'ordre de 0,5m.  As an indication, the height of the posts 1, 1 'will be of the order of 0.9m and the length of the brackets 2, 2' of the order of 0.5m.
