Abstract

A cycle, motor cycle or moped has a frame 11 to which stand(s) 15 are attached. The stand, or stands, 15 are raised and lowered by an associated servo-mechanism, in example shown electric motors 19, which can be automatically actuated by a speed dependent switch 22 or by the rider operating switch 21. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Automatic cycle, motor cycle & moped stand(s) This invention relates to cycle, motor cycle & BR< moped stands.
Stands appertaining to the above vehicles keep them in an upright or near upright position when the vehicle is stationary, the stands usually being lowered by one of the riders feet. Currently the rider of such a vehicle has to maintain it in an upright position at low or zero speed until the stand can be lowered.
According to the invention presented here it is proposed that the stand(s) will be lowered and raised by a servo-mechanism actuated by the rider, or at predetermined speed(s) through suitable connection to the vehicles speedometer or some other mechanism dependent on the vehicles speed. (i.e. the actuator could be electrical, centrifugal, visco-static, pressure sensitive, etc.).
The servo-mechanism could be electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or a combination of any of the foregoing.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described as an example with reference to the accompanying drawings and diagram in which: Figure 1 shows side view of vehicle with stand(s) lowered.
Figure 2 shows side view of vehicle with stand(s) lowered.
Figure 3 shows end view of vehicle with stand(s) lowered.
Figure 4 shows plan view of vehicle with stand(s) lowered.
Figure 5 shows side view of vehicle with stand(s) raised.
Figure 6 shows end view of vehicle with stand(s) raised.
Figure 7 shows plan view of vehicle with stand(s) raised.
Figure 8 shows a basic wiring diagram of system.
Figures 9, 10 & ii show a possible development of the invention incorporating a battery of stands.
Referring to the drawings the vehicle comprises a wheeled chassis of frame 11 to which the stand(s) 1 5 and servo-mechanism are attached at pivots 16 & 18.
In this embodiment electric motors 19 are shown to be used to raise and lower the stand(s) 15 via threaded shaft(s) 20 and pivotted nut(s) 17. The control of the electric motor(s) 19 being by limit switches 13 & 14 and by manual switch 21 or speedometer switch 22. The limit switches to be open and closed circuit by the stand(s) 15 coming into or leaving contact with the ground or with the stop(s) 12 on the frame 11.
The stand(s) would have castors or slides fitted to the free or lower end of them to cater for the low speed motion of the vehicle.
For the rider to raise stand(s) 15 switch 21 would be operated (closed) completing a circuit, Fig. 8, which would make the electric motor(s) 19 turn anti-clockwise winding the top end of the stand(s) 15 away from the motor 19 thereby pivotting the stand(s) 15 about support 16 raising the free end at which limit switch 14 is situated, when the limit switch 13 contacts the stop 12 the motor(s) 19 would stop turning and the stand(s) 15 stop rising. For the rider to lower the stand(s) 15 the switch 21 is open circuited and the electric motor(s) 19 would turn the opposite way, clockwise, winding the stand(s) 15 toward the motor(s) 19 thereby lowering the free end of the stand(s) 15 until limit switch 14 is operated by the stand(s) 15 contacting the ground.
Automatic operation of the stand(s) 15 occurs when switch 21 is left open circuitted.
With the vehicle in motion the stand(s) would rise or be up when the vehicles speed is S1, or in excess of S1, the lowest preset actuation speed. At speed S1 the speedometer switch 22 is closed circuitted via needle 23 operating the relays 24 completing one circuit for the electric motor(s) 19 to turn anticlockwise, stopping when limit switch 13 is opened. At speeds less than S1 the stand(s) 15 would be lowered, or remain down as the relays 24 would complete a different electrical circuit turning the electric motor(s) 19 clockwise stopping when limit switch 14 is opened by contact with the ground.
The above embodiment is only one possible arrangement of components and it is only a basic one. A practical scheme would probably utilise a battery of sets of stands, actuation speeds S1, S2, etc., as illustrated in Figs. 9, 10 & 11.
1. A cycle, motor cycle or moped comprising a wheeled chassis or frame to which a stand, or stands, are attached such that depending on the speed of the vehicle it/they can be automatically raised and lowered by associated servo-mechanism.
2. A vehicle as in claim 1 wherein means is provided for the stand, or stands, to be raised and lowered at the will of the rider.
