The present invention relates to a device on a motorized or non-motorized bicycle to protect the cyclist from rain and cold caused by the relative wind when traveling. Traditionally, the cyclist protects himself with waterproof clothing which has the main disadvantages:
To hinder the cyclist's freedom of movement.
Figure img00010001

De ne pas protéger le visage et éventuellement le maquillage. Not to protect the face and possibly the makeup.

D'augmenter la transpiration sans possibilité d'évacuation. Increase sweating without the possibility of evacuation.

De ne pas protéger les pieds.  Not to protect the feet.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il est escamotable permettant ainsi de retrouver une configuration classique du cycle.  The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It is retractable allowing to find a classic configuration of the cycle.

Le système est d'abord constitué d'une boite rectangulaire (partie A de la figure 9) fixée à l'avant du vélo par une potence elle même fixée au cadre (partie B de la figure 9).  The system consists first of all of a rectangular box (part A of figure 9) fixed to the front of the bike by a stem itself fixed to the frame (part B of figure 9).

De cette boite il est possible de déplier deux armatures flexibles constituées d'éléments emboîtables de 25 cm environ reliés par un élastique commun (partie E de la figure 9).  From this box it is possible to unfold two flexible frames made up of interlocking elements of about 25 cm connected by a common elastic (part E of Figure 9).

Ces deux armatures parallèles partent de l'avant de la boite vers l'arrière du vélo pour se loger dans deux douilles fixées sous la selle sur les haubans du cadre (partie C de la figure 7).  These two parallel frames leave from the front of the box towards the rear of the bike to be housed in two sockets fixed under the saddle on the seat stays of the frame (part C of figure 7).

La boite rectangulaire est constituée de 5 panneaux. Les panneaux latéraux sont conçus en deux parties identiques l'une étant fixe, l'autre étant articulée par une charnière au panneau avant de la boite et verrouillable sur ce dernier par un loquet. Le départ des arceaux se fait sur cette partie mobile avant d'être verrouillée ceci afin de faciliter la future mise en place de la toile le long des arceaux (figure 4).  The rectangular box consists of 5 panels. The side panels are designed in two identical parts, one being fixed, the other being hinged by a hinge to the front panel of the box and lockable on the latter by a latch. The start of the hoops is done on this mobile part before being locked this in order to facilitate the future positioning of the fabric along the hoops (Figure 4).

Une fois effectuée la mise en place des deux arceaux qui forment ainsi deux arcs, une toile transparente rangée dans la boite peut être dépliée et mise en place en la faisant coulisser entre les 2 arceaux grâce à des anneaux répartis de façon régulière sur chaque bord de cette toile (partie D de la figure 9).  Once the two arches have been put in place which thus form two arcs, a transparent canvas stored in the box can be unfolded and put in place by sliding it between the 2 arches thanks to the rings evenly distributed on each edge of this canvas (part D of figure 9).

Une fois la toile mise en place, une barre transversale pliable constituée de trois éléments emboîtables de 20 cm est installée perpendiculairement aux arceaux au niveau le plus élevé pour tendre et rigidifier l'ensemble (partie F de la figure 9).  Once the canvas is in place, a foldable crossbar made up of three interlocking elements of 20 cm is installed perpendicular to the arches at the highest level to tension and stiffen the whole (part F of Figure 9).

La forme aérodynamique de cette protection est obtenue grâce à l'inclinaison donnée à l'avant et à l'arrière des arceaux. Cette inclinaison peut être modifiée grâce à la partie mobile du support arrière (figure 7) en effet les deux douilles recevant les arceaux sont reliées entre elles par un cadre lui même pivotant dans un cadre plus grand fixé aux haubans du vélo.  The aerodynamic shape of this protection is obtained thanks to the inclination given at the front and at the rear of the hoops. This inclination can be modified thanks to the movable part of the rear support (Figure 7) in fact the two sockets receiving the arches are connected together by a frame itself pivoting in a larger frame attached to the shrouds of the bicycle.

Le système comprend en outre une partie complémentaire pour protéger plus particulièrement le bas des jambes et les pieds. Cette protection est constituée de deux plaques agissant comme déflecteurs (rangées dans le fond de la boite) qui peuvent être fixées le long de la fourche du vélo et inclinées à 450 par rapport au sens de déplacement Les deux plaques peuvent être des éléments constitutifs du fond de la boite à l'avant du vélo. The system also includes an additional part to more particularly protect the lower legs and feet. This protection consists of two plates acting as deflectors (stored in the bottom of the box) which can be fixed along the fork of the bike and inclined at 450 with respect to the direction of movement. The two plates can be constituent elements of the bottom. from the box at the front of the bike.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure (1) représente l'installation de la boite et de sa potence à l'avant du vélo.  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: Figure (1) shows the installation of the box and its stem at the front of the bicycle.

La figure (2) représente la boite et sa potence une fois installée sur l'avant du vélo. Figure (2) shows the box and its stem once installed on the front of the bike.

Les figures (3) et (4) représentent l'ouverture de la boite et la sortie des deux arceaux sous forme de tronçons de tubes reliés entre eux par un élastique. Figures (3) and (4) show the opening of the box and the outlet of the two arches in the form of sections of tubes connected together by an elastic band.

La figure (5) représente la mise en place des deux arceaux. Les tronçons sont emboîtés les uns dans les autres. L'extrémité de chaque arceau étant introduite dans l'une des deux douilles de la pièce située à l'arrière. Figure (5) shows the placement of the two arches. The sections are nested one inside the other. The end of each hoop being inserted into one of the two sockets of the part located at the rear.

La figure (8) représente la pièce permettant de fixer l'extrémité des arceaux au cadre du vélo sur les haubans à l'arrière sous la selle. Cette pièce permet en outre de régler la courbure des arceaux et de ce fait l'inclinaison de la toile. The figure (8) represents the part allowing to fix the end of the hoops to the frame of the bike on the shrouds at the back under the saddle. This part also makes it possible to adjust the curvature of the arches and therefore the inclination of the fabric.

La figure (9) représente l'ensemble du dispositif une fois installé. Figure (9) shows the entire device once installed.

Le système est universel, il peut s'installer sur la plupart des vélos. Il est constitué d'éléments simples : tubes d'aluminium, de fibre de verre ou de carbone pour les arceaux et la barre transversale, film plastique souple de 10 à 30/100 de mm pour la toile transparente, éléments en plastique, en contreplaqué ou en aluminium pour la boite. La potence et les fixations avants ou arrières peuvent être en acier, en aluminium ou en plastique. Les déflecteurs peuvent être en plexiglas transparents ou en plastique, renforcés par un profilé en aluminium ou en acier. The system is universal, it can be installed on most bikes. It consists of simple elements: aluminum, fiberglass or carbon tubes for the hoops and the crossbar, flexible plastic film of 10 to 30/100 mm for the transparent canvas, plastic elements, plywood or aluminum for the box. The stem and the front or rear fixings can be made of steel, aluminum or plastic. The deflectors can be made of transparent plexiglass or plastic, reinforced with an aluminum or steel profile.
