Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour fixer un siège pour bébé sur une bicyclette, de type VTT, VTC ou autre cycle pour adultes. The present invention relates to a device for fixing a baby seat on a bicycle, of mountain bike, hybrid bike or other cycle for adults.
Les modes de fixation traditionnellement utilisés placent le siège soit en position arrière, avec tout l'inconfort qui en résulte pour le bébé et l'équilibre du vélo, soit en position avant avec une fixation au cadre. Dans ce dernier cas, si le bébé s'accroche au guidon, cela entraîne une modification de la trajectoire, avec tous les risques que cela peut occasionner. The traditionally used attachment methods place the seat either in the rear position, with all the discomfort that results for the baby and the balance of the bicycle, or in the front position with attachment to the frame. In the latter case, if the baby clings to the handlebars, this causes a change in the trajectory, with all the risks that this may cause.
D'autre part, tous les systèmes existants exigent un temps de montage et démontage relativement long, ou laissent sur la bicyclette des éléments de fixation souvent disgracieux. On the other hand, all existing systems require a relatively long assembly and disassembly time, or leave often unsightly fastening elements on the bicycle.
Les avantages du siege en situation avant ne sont plus à prouver, que ce soit pour l'équilibre des masses, la surveillance du bébé, mais surtout pour son champ de vision et la possibilité d'échanges entre les deux passagers. The advantages of the front seat are no longer to be proven, whether for the balance of the masses, the monitoring of the baby, but above all for his field of vision and the possibility of exchanges between the two passengers.
Le dispositif décrit ici utilise une liaison non pas au cadre, mais au guidon. The device described here uses a connection not to the frame, but to the handlebars.
Cette solution présente l'avantage de permettre au bébé de s'agripper au guidon, de le pousser ou le tirer sans provoquer aucun effet néfaste, puisqu'il est lui-meme solidaire du guidon. This solution has the advantage of allowing the baby to grip the handlebars, push or pull without causing any harmful effect, since it is itself integral with the handlebars.
D'autre part, les protections latérales que constituent les bras du conducteur suivent tous les mouvement du guidon et donc du siège, et leur efficacité s'en trouve ainsi améliorée. On the other hand, the lateral protections constituted by the driver's arms follow all the movement of the handlebars and therefore of the seat, and their efficiency is thereby improved.
Enfin l'augmentation de masse et donc d'inertie de l'ensemble guidon et roue avant améliore la stabilité de trajectoire sans trop limiter l'angle de braquage, ce qui constitue un gage de sécurité. Finally, the increase in mass and therefore of inertia of the handlebar and front wheel assembly improves trajectory stability without limiting the steering angle too much, which constitutes a guarantee of safety.
Le système de fixation est décrit sur les dessins en annexe:
La figure 1 décrit la mise en situation du siège sur le cycle en vue de côté.The fixing system is described on the attached drawings:
Figure 1 describes the situation of the seat on the cycle in side view.
La figure 2 montre les différents éléments qui constituent la fixation en perspective.Figure 2 shows the different elements that make up the binding in perspective.
La figure 3 précise un mode de liaison possible entre le siège et le support.Figure 3 specifies a possible connection mode between the seat and the support.
En référence la figure 2, le système est constitué d'une fourche- support (5) terminée par deux formes en U destinées à prendre appui sous le guidon. Leur courbure est prévue pour être compatible avec les guidons les plus courants, et permettre une mise en place aisée. With reference to FIG. 2, the system consists of a support fork (5) terminated by two U-shaped shapes intended to bear on the handlebars. Their curvature is designed to be compatible with the most common handlebars, and allow easy installation.
Sur cette fourche, on a fixé un étrier (4), dont la forme convenablement recourbée permettra de prendre appui sur la potence (2). Le système offre plusieurs possibilités de positionnement pour s'adapter aux différentes longueurs de potence, et comporte deux lumières qui permettent d'ajuster la hauteur du siège en fonction de la géométrie de la bicyclette en laissant un espace suffisant entre le support (5) et le cadre de la bicyclette. On this fork, a stirrup (4) has been fixed, the suitably curved shape of which will allow it to bear on the stem (2). The system offers several positioning possibilities to adapt to the different stem lengths, and includes two lights which allow the seat height to be adjusted according to the geometry of the bicycle, leaving sufficient space between the support (5) and the frame of the bicycle.
Le blocage en position après réglage pourra être réalisé à partir de simples systèmes vis-écrou de forme adaptée pour ne pas constituer d'angles vifs, et éviter un desserrage intempestif, pour des raisons évidentes de sécurité. Locking in position after adjustment can be achieved using simple screw-nut systems of suitable shape so as not to constitute sharp angles, and to avoid untimely loosening, for obvious safety reasons.
Dans le cas d'un siège ne comportant pas d'élément de liaison à l'origine, on pourra adopter le mode de fixation décrit à la figure 3. In the case of a seat that does not have an original connecting element, the method of attachment described in FIG. 3 can be adopted.
La position du siège (1) sur le support (5) est règlable en avant-arrière. Le dispositif assurant cette liaison, qui peut être intégré au siège ou ajouté et adapté à celui-ci selon les modèles, agit par pincement sur les barres cylindriques qui forment le support. Ce règlage est nécessaire pour faire en sorte que les repose-pieds du siège limitent le moins possible l'angle de braquage. The position of the seat (1) on the support (5) is adjustable in front-rear. The device ensuring this connection, which can be integrated into the seat or added to and adapted to it depending on the model, acts by pinching on the cylindrical bars which form the support. This adjustment is necessary to ensure that the footrests of the seat limit the steering angle as little as possible.
Pour améliorer le confort du passager et libérer le guidon, le système pourra être équipé d'un petit guidon servant d'appui-mains pour le bébé. Ce guidon est simplement lié au support (5) par deux barres cylindriques de forme adaptée pour assurer un maximum de confort au bébé. To improve passenger comfort and free the handlebars, the system can be fitted with a small handlebar used as hand support for the baby. This handlebar is simply linked to the support (5) by two cylindrical bars of suitable shape to ensure maximum comfort for the baby.
Dans l'hypothèse où une réglementation l'imposerait, le système peut comporter un dispositif de verrouillage rapide sur la potence. In the event that a regulation requires it, the system may include a quick locking device on the stem.
Dans le but d'éviter un marquage ou une détérioration des équipements, des bagues de protection pourront être disposées préalablement sur le guidon ou la potence, si les éléments du système ne comportent pas eux-memes un revêtement élastique de type élastomère. In order to avoid marking or deterioration of the equipment, protective rings may be placed beforehand on the handlebars or the stem, if the elements of the system themselves do not include an elastic coating of elastomer type.
Enfin le système de fixation décrit dans la présente invention pourra être utilisé pour d'autres accessoires qu'un siège pour bébé, avec les mêmes caractéristiques que le système faisant l'objet de la description. Finally, the fastening system described in the present invention can be used for accessories other than a baby seat, with the same characteristics as the system which is the subject of the description.
