Description

DESCRIPTION

Description of industrial model having as title: mechanical system for driving and for the consequent rotation of the forks of scooters and all small vehicles (even non-toys) with 4 and 2 wheels, (or alternatively on snow with 4 and 2 skis ).

Description text

The present invention relates to the idea that through the tilting movement of a central table (table 1 letter A) on a tubular or in any case round axis (table 1 iett.B), suitably connected to two forks (table .1 letter F) to which either 1 or 2 wheels are applied each, it is possible to determine the rotation of the same thus causing the change of direction of the tool being used.

The invention consists of the assembly of various pieces which are drawn in more detail in tables 2 and 3 and listed below:

-frame (letter B> - is tubular in the central part and ends in the shape as in the drawing at the ends to allow the forks and wheels to rotate,

- two forks (letter F) - go to get stuck in the joints (letter l) in the way that is normally used for bicycle forks, possibly with spiked crowns,

-table (letter A) - is applied on the axis of the frame (Iett.B) with simple collars (letter C) in order to be left free to rotate on itself.

-four rods (letter D) - have joints at the ends (letter E), joints which can be of any type but always allow free rotation of the ends. The ends of the rods are connected with simple weld point bolts to the two forks and to the corners of the table as in the drawing table 1,

- tube (letter L) - is applied on the frame (letter B) with a weld or with a coupling but in such a way as to be one with the same,

- the wheels (letter H) - are applied with the pins (letter G) to the two forks Yes, they can put indifferently and this is very important, 1 or 2 wheels for each fork and at the distance between them you want , (from a few mm. to the entire width of the fork).

At this point, to make the invention work, it is sufficient to hold the tube (L) still with one hand, tilting the table (A) and the two forks rotate in the desired direction.

With the same identical system but using two smaller tables (table 4 letter O) and two tubular axes (table 4 letter P) always connected in the same way to the forks it is possible to obtain the same result.

Finally, it should be noted that the dimensions of the invention can vary according to its application, and that the construction material can also vary from metal, to wood, to plastic and in particular the rods (D) can also be of simple rope.

CONSTRUCTION VARIANTS OR OTHER WAYS

TO OBTAIN SIMILAR RESULTS.

-The ends of the rods (D) can be applied in various points of the fork (F) and depending on the point obtain different results For example if connected to the fork at point (Z) as in the drawing table 1, one obtains that by pressing the table to left the forks turn in the same direction, ie to the left, if they are applied in point (M), the forks rotate in the opposite direction, ie to the right. The rods can also be cross linked to each other.

It is also possible to use only one rod (D) for each fork.

-SI can insert the tube (L) into the joint (I).

-In place of individual wheels, series of in-line wheels or tracks can be placed.

-In place of wheels you can put skis to use the tool on the snow.

- The system can also be used with a single fork, placing the other fixed, i.e. not free to rotate.

-As in table 6 you can connect the two forks with longer rods (Q) always with the joint at the ends.

-You can insert the tube (L) into the joint (I) connect the forks with only the longer rods (Q), in this way maneuver the forks through the tube (L).

-SI can connect the table (A) with the two forks (F) with two half-sprockets (R) as shown in table 7.

-You can place the two forks (F) horizontally and connect them to the table (A) as in the drawing of table 8, that is with the arms without articulation fixed on the table that transmit the tilting impulse to the two forks with a pin in the tube (T).

Of course, there are dozens of ways to convey board motion to the forks and it's impossible to describe them all.

EXAMPLES OF USE

-As a scooter- simply by fixing a fake handlebar in the tube (L) as in the figure table 9 and in this way use the tool as a mixture between the scooter and the skate. that is, they use a skate with a fake handlebar fixed on the board. But these are tools that obtain very different results from the scooter in question for the following reasons:

a) the way of construction is completely different and the ease of change of direction is unmatched in favor of this scooter.

b) the scooter in question can also be used with two wheels (one per fork), while the others require four.

c) in the scooter in question if four wheels are used, respectively the two front and rear wheels can be placed at variable distances, from a few mm. to the whole width of the fork, without this affecting in the least the ease of the change of direction. while in the others the wheels must be placed at least 20 cm. between them.

d) in this scooter the fake handlebar is fixed on the frame and therefore independent of the tilting movement of the board and therefore the change of direction of the tool can also take place by holding the board still and tilting the handlebar to the right and left. possible in the other tool since the fake handlebar is fixed on the skateboard.

-As a ski simulator- as in the drawing of table 10 by putting a fake handlebar in the tube (L). The person will make movements very similar to those of skiing.

-As a toy - as in the drawing of table 1 1 by putting a handlebar end in the tube (L), using 4 wheels and placing a seat on the tilting table for the child who will have fun spinning the tool with the body swing .

The propulsion for all the tools described can take place in all possible ways and naturally also by motor. It is particularly recommended to make the tools work downhill and by appropriately increasing their size they can also be used on the ski slopes with wheels in the summer and with small skis in the winter.

Claims (1)

CLAIMS The following claims concern all mechanical tools in general, scooters, skates, skates, vehicles and the like that use wheels or alternatively on the snow using skis. For convenience, we will define them as mechanical tools below. 1) Mechanical tools that use the idea that in the invention, holding the tube (L) still, the tilting movement of the central table (A) determines the rotation of the two forks (F), (or even just one). 2) Mechanical tools that use the idea that in the invention by holding the tube (L) still, the tilting movement of the central table (A) determines the change of direction of the wheels. 3) Other mechanical devices that use the idea that, as in the invention, the tilting movement of the table (A) determines the rotation of the two forks (F), (or even just one). without the tube (L). 4) Mechanical tools, according to the preceding claims, which use two tables (O) on two cylindrical axes (P) as in the drawing in table 4 to transmit movement to the forks (F). 5) Mechanical tools that use the system for transmitting the movement of the tilting table (A) to the forks (F) by means of the rods with the joints (D) as described in the drawing table 1. 6) Mechanical tools that use other systems for transmitting the movement of the tilting table (A) to the forks (F) both described in the drawings table 7 and table 8 and not described. 7) Mechanical tools which, like the invention, have two rotating forks at their ends and not, as usually, one rotating and one fixed. 8) Mechanical tools that have two rotating forks at the ends, connected together with rods with joints (Q) as shown in table 6. 9) Mechanical tools which, like the invention, have the frame (B) in the central part having a cylindrical shape in order to allow the table (A) to tilt. 10) Mechanical tools, according to the preceding claims, which, like the invention, have the fake handlebar fixed on the frame and not connected to the fork. 11) Mechanical tools, according to the preceding claims, which use tracks or skis or the like instead of single wheels or series of wheels in line. 12) 4-wheeled vehicles according to the preceding claims, which by connecting the system to the guide use it to increase cornering stability.
