Description

1/4 back device for carrying a bike with hands

  The present invention relates to a back device for wearing including mountain bike said mountain bike, having his hands free, when the pedaling

es- impossible.

  The porting of V7r7 in difficult areas is traditionally done: -S3t by a padding system performed on the rear angle of the tube

  upper ve! o and allows to wear the mountain bike on the shoulder.

  -Sct ern - holding, in the back, using the hands, the upper tube of the bike

at the height of the shoulders.

  The dispostifL seiDrn the invention allows to have hands free.

  I [comprises according to a first feature a reinforcement broken down into four parts, a central part, an upper part, a lower part, a plate. The frames of these parts are made of resistant and light materials (example: aluminum, composite materials, titanium, steel

"Cromoly", etc ...).

  The central part is composed of: - a square tube on which is made a hook at its high end, this hook allows to hang the tube

superior of the bike.

  - A padded plate and straps and a ventral strap, the whole is linked to the square tube of the hook (this connection can be made by welding, gluing, by screws,

  etc ... to be used as a backpack frame.

  * The plate is thin, the shape of a rounded inverted triangle, it is fixed by sliding between: the back of the square tube of the central part at the hook, and a metal plate. This plate allows the user (equipped with the central part and the plate placed in the back with the help of the straps), to hang the tube more easily

superior of the bike.

  * The upper part consists of a square tube with two hooks at its ends. These hooks are parallel and above the square tube to allow to hang the bike in the direction of the height (the front wheel is at the top and the hooks hold the bike by its front triangle: a hook holds the top tube of the bike and the other hook holds the lower tube of the bike). On this square tube is welded (or glued, screwed, etc ...) another square tube, fixed perpendicular to the first in the middle. This second square tube is designed to fit into the square tube of the hook, at the top of the central part. The first square tube with the two hooks must be wider than the flap of a regular backpack

  and can be padded at both ends.

  * The lower part consists of a square tube on which is welded (or glued, screwed .... etc) another square tube, fixed perpendicularly to the first in the middle, this second square tube is intended to fit into the bottom of the square tube of the central part. The first square tube shall have a width less than that of an ordinary rucksack and may be

pad at both ends.

  These different parts can be assembled to each other according to the desired use: - Competition: the user uses the central part with the plate, the whole door in the back as a backpack. By being back and parallel to the bike, the user is lowered along the upper tube of the bike until the upper tube bears on the plate. The user just has to get up to block the upper tube of the bike in the hook,

  to pick up it is enough that the user goes down again.

  - Randonnee: the user uses the central part on which we place the upper part and the lower part. The different parts are nested using a system of complementary shapes (for example: a square tube slips into another square tube to hang the upper part and the lower part on the square tube of the central part, the plate can be stuck between a metal blade and the back of the hook of the central part). Then slip the three connected parts, in a normal backpack, once the backpack closes the upper part must protrude from each side of the flap of the bag, while the lower part must be slightly shorter than the width of the bag back as its purpose is to convey the

mass of the bike at the bottom of the bag.

  The upper part must be padded so as not to damage the bike that will be hooked on it: - Either the bike is hung horizontally, on the hooks of the square tube of the upper part, by the upper tube of the bike. - Either the bike is hung vertically, with the front wheel at the top) on the hooks of the square tube of the upper part (with a hook holding the top tube of the bike and the other hook holding the lower tube of the bike) this possibility allows to reduce the horizontal size of the bike without removing the wheels. To improve the attachment of the bike with the upper part we use straps (for the two cases described above). This possibility does not use the plate and is less rapid since it is necessary to remove the backpack to hang or unhook the bike but it allows to transport objects

  clothing, food, tools, etc ...) in the backpack.

  According to particular embodiments: - The device according to the invention can be made only for 'a cci: petitlon (the central part with the plate) for reasons of gain

of polders.

  -The device according to the invention can be realized only for ra-data for reasons of weight (the upper part, the central part and the lower part connected together in a single piece, or only one

  upper part connected directly to a rigid frame backpack).

  -The device according to the invention can be realized: the upper part, the central part and the plate detachable to each other with the part

  base and the central part united in one piece.

  The device according to the invention can be made with different types of tube (the important thing being that the mass of the bicycle is transmitted to a bag ad, s or directly to the back of the user and that the bike is door without

to be damaged.

  14 / For hiking: the central part (1) accompanied by the upper part (3) and the lower part (4), then slid into a backpack (5) allows the user to wear the mountain bike without the obligation to have the plate (2). The bike can be fixed in several ways: - Either the bike placed horizontally with its upper tube (7) on the hooks of the upper part (3) (we can hang the wheels of the bike on the bike frame for

  save space horizontally). Figure 1 and Figure 2.

  - Either the bike placed vertically / with the front wheel at the top), on the hooks of the upper part (3): one hook holds the upper tube (7) and the other the lower tube (15) of the bike, this solution allows a horizontal space saving without removing the wheels. In the two previous cases it is necessary to finish fixing the bike on the part

high (3) by straps (8).

  These two possibilities require removing the backpack (5) to attach

  or detach the ATV. Figures 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4.

  The central part (1) and the upper part (3) and the lower part (4), or the central part (1) and the plate (2) are combined using different nesting thanks to complementary forms so that the assembly and disassembly of the different parts

be easy and fast.

  For the competition the central part (1) can be equipped with shoulder straps (6) and a lap strap (12) and system-level padding

  to hang it on the back (see (1) and (9) figure 7).

  The upper part (3) can be provided with padding to protect the MTB, its length is such that it must exceed each side of the backpack (5),

  (see (3) and (5) Figure 1 and Figure 3).

  The lower part (4) has the role of transmitting the weight of the bike to the bottom of the backpack, its length must be less than that of the width of the bag

  back, this part can be padded. (see (4) Figure 1 and Figure 3).
