Abstract
Description
Ancrage de selle de cycle de type oscillant gauche - droite, et
cycles le comportant.Left-Right Oscillating Cycle Saddle Anchor, and
cycles including it.
La présente invention concerne le domaine général des cycles et notamment des "vélos " ou vélocipèdes, et les domaines confrontés au problème énoncé ci-dessous.The present invention relates to the general field of cycles and in particular "bicycles" or velocipedes, and the fields confronted with the problem set out below.
On connaît des selles plus ou moins articulées, et on connaît également une selle montée en deux parties séparées selon un axe longitudinale, chaque partie pouvant basculer vers l'avant ou revenir en arrière, indépendamment de l'autre partie.We know more or less articulated saddles, and we also know a saddle mounted in two separate parts along a longitudinal axis, each part can tilt forward or backward, independently of the other part.
Un inconvénient bien connu de la pratique du vélo résulte de certaines positions soit d'effort ( " sprint " ) soit de relaxation volontaire sur le plat.A well-known drawback of cycling results from certain positions, either of effort ("sprint") or of voluntary relaxation on the flat.
Dans ces configurations, le cycliste fait peser son poids alternativement de gauche à droite sur la selle , et il en résulte un frottement entre la selle et le coccyx.In these configurations, the cyclist alternately weighs his weight from left to right on the saddle, and this results in friction between the saddle and the coccyx.
Ceci est particulièrement le cas lors d'un effort puissant, ou au contraire, sur le plat, lorsque le cycliste décide d'effectuer un " automassage " en modifiant la position de son pied sur le pédalier. Dans cette configuration anormale mais nécéssaire, le talon du pied " s'enfonce " par rapport à sa position habituelle, ce qui provoque le massage recherché, mais provoque aussi un basculement du corps vers la droite et alternativement la gauche.This is particularly the case during a powerful effort, or on the contrary, on the flat, when the cyclist decides to perform a "self-massage" by modifying the position of his foot on the crankset. In this abnormal but necessary configuration, the heel of the foot "sinks" from its usual position, which causes the desired massage, but also causes the body to tilt to the right and alternately the left.
On rencontre des inconvénients dûs à la même cause dans de nombreux secteurs, pour certains postes de travail, sièges de machine, et analogues, et l'invention s'applique à tous ces secteurs. C'est ce que signifie ci dessous l'emploi du mot cycle ou analogue, qui n'a aucun sens limitatif ou restrictif.There are drawbacks due to the same cause in many sectors, for certain workstations, machine seats, and the like, and the invention applies to all these sectors. This is what is meant below by the use of the word cycle or the like, which has no limiting or restrictive meaning.
Ce phénomène , et d'autres similaires, est bien connu depuis des décennies mais, même sur les cycles sophistiqués produits depuis environ une dizaine d'années, aucune solution n'a été proposée.This phenomenon, and others like it, has been well known for decades but, even on the sophisticated cycles produced for about ten years, no solution has been proposed.
Le mérite de l'nvention est d'avoir posé ce problème du frottement latéral dont les professionnels et les amateurs s'étaient apparemment résignés à s'accomoder. The merit of the invention is to have posed this problem of lateral friction which professionals and amateurs had apparently resigned themselves to accommodate.
Selon son concept général, l'invention réside dans le fait que la selle du cycle est montée sur un support capable d'osciller par un moyen général quelconque selon un mouvement au moins gauche - droite.According to its general concept, the invention resides in the fact that the cycle saddle is mounted on a support capable of oscillating by any general means according to a movement at least left - right.
Par "montée sur un support capable d'osciller " on comprendra naturellement toutes les configurations qui apparaîtront à l'homme de métier, c.a.d. la selle montée sur un support oscillant, ou comportant un support Fixe qui est lui même monté sur un dispositif oscillant, etc... c.a.d. tous les moyens techniques de montage direct ou indirect en oscillation, accessibles à l'homme de métier et capables de suivre en oscillation gauche - droite les mouvements imprimés à la selle par le corps du cycliste.By "mounted on a support capable of oscillating" we will naturally understand all the configurations which will appear to those skilled in the art, ie the saddle mounted on an oscillating support, or comprising a fixed support which is itself mounted on an oscillating device, etc ... ie all the technical means of direct or indirect assembly in oscillation, accessible to the skilled person and capable of following in left-right oscillation the movements imparted to the saddle by the body of the cyclist.
Par "au moins gauche-droite ", on comprendra que l'invention réside dans le moyen général consistant à permettre l'oscillation gauche - droite, mais que l'invention n'est pas incompatible avec d'autres mouvements de la selle, par exemple le mouvement de basculement avant - arrière évoqué plus haut.By "at least left-right", it will be understood that the invention resides in the general means consisting in allowing left-right oscillation, but that the invention is not incompatible with other movements of the saddle, for example example the tilting movement forward - back mentioned above.
L'invention comprend donc toutes ces variantes de réalisation, même si par simplicité, on se limite dans ce qui suit au vocable " oscillation gauche droite " ou un vocable analogue.The invention therefore includes all these variant embodiments, even if for simplicity, we limit ourselves in what follows to the term "left-right oscillation" or a similar term.
L'invention s'applique à tout type de cycle ou siège dont l'utilisation entraîne l'inconvénient précité du frottement, ainsi qu'à toute machine ou siège ou poste de travail dont le conducteur ou l'opérateur souffrirait du même inconvénient, même pour d'autres raisons que celles d'un effort, par exemple pour de simples raisons ergonomiques. Le vocable " selle " comprend dans ce texte toutes ces applications relevant de la même fonction générale.The invention applies to any type of cycle or seat, the use of which causes the abovementioned drawback of friction, as well as to any machine or seat or work station the driver or operator of which would suffer from the same drawback, even for reasons other than effort, for example for simple ergonomic reasons. The term "saddle" in this text includes all these applications falling under the same general function.
La Figure 1 décrit une selle et son ancrage selon l'invention, en coupe longitudinale;
La Figure 2 décrit la Figure 1 selon la coupe A - A
Les mêmes références ont les mêmes significations.Figure 1 depicts a saddle and its anchoring according to the invention, in longitudinal section;
Figure 2 describes Figure 1 in section A - A
The same references have the same meanings.
On voit sur le Dessin annexé que la selle 1 est solidaire d'une armature 2.It can be seen in the attached drawing that the saddle 1 is secured to a frame 2.
Cette armature 2 vient coulisser de manière connue dans les gorges des "cavaliers" 9 , comme celà est visible sur la Figure 2. Ces cavaliers comportent une surface crantée et , après que le règlage longitudinal de la selle ait été effectué par coulissement approprié dans les gorges, ( en fait, les demi-gorges du chariot coopèrent avec les demi-gorges des cavaliers ) sont serrés sur le chariot 8 au moyen d'un boulon 10 Ce chariot est monté solidaire d'une entretoise 6 qui entoure une pièce 4 formant axe de rotation autour de l'axe longitudinal du cycle, c'est à dire vers la gauche ou la droite.This frame 2 slides in a known manner in the grooves of the "jumpers" 9, as can be seen in FIG. 2. These jumpers have a notched surface and, after the longitudinal adjustment of the saddle has been carried out by appropriate sliding in the grooves, (in fact, the half-grooves of the carriage cooperate with the half-grooves of the jumpers) are tightened on the carriage 8 by means of a bolt 10 This carriage is mounted integral with a spacer 6 which surrounds a part 4 forming axis of rotation around the longitudinal axis of the cycle, i.e. to the left or right.
L'ensemble est fixé en position par une vis et une rondelle d'arrêt, respectivement 7 et 5.The assembly is fixed in position by a screw and a locking washer, respectively 7 and 5.
On procède également de manière connue à la fixation du système sur le cadre 3 du cycle par un moyen classique de fente serrée par un écrou.One also proceeds in a known manner to the fixing of the system on the frame 3 of the cycle by a conventional slot means tightened by a nut.
Il est tout à fait préférable de prévoir un moyen de rappel de la selle vers la position neutre, par exemple lorsque le contact selle - cycliste cesse; de tels moyens peuvent consister en blocs de mousse insérés sous la selle. La plus ou moins grande rigidité de la mousse permet alors, de plus, de règler la sensibilité du déclenchement de l'oscillation. Le cycliste peut ainsi règler son confort à volonté.It is entirely preferable to provide a means for returning the saddle to the neutral position, for example when the saddle-cyclist contact ceases; such means may consist of foam blocks inserted under the saddle. The greater or lesser rigidity of the foam then makes it possible, moreover, to adjust the sensitivity of the triggering of the oscillation. The cyclist can thus adjust his comfort at will.
Bien entendu, on envisagera tout autre moyen tel que lame ressort, etc... qui sera à la portée de l'homme du métier.Of course, we will consider any other means such as leaf spring, etc ... which will be within the reach of ordinary skill in the art.
Ce qui précède décrit un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, qui est bien entendu non limitatif, notamment dans le détail de ses réalisations mécaniques. The above describes a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is of course non-limiting, in particular in the detail of its mechanical embodiments.
