Description

本発明は折りたたみ式のペダルを有する自転車に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a bicycle having a foldable pedal.

これまでの自転車において、駐輪場等の有効活用を図る上からペダルを折りたたみ式にしたものが見受けられるようになった。具体的には、ペダル踏板に摺動自在に嵌装されたストッパー軸がスプリングで付勢され、このストッパー軸の先端部に設けた嵌合壁をペダル回動体の先端中央部に形成された嵌合壁受入口に出入自在に嵌合してペダル踏板を所定の使用状態に固定するものとか（例えば、特許文献１参照）、ペダル踏板がペダル本体にペダル主軸と垂直方向に配設された摺動ボタンにて軸支され、ペダル踏板がクランクアーム側より離れる方向に移動したとき、ペダル本体と固定される構造を採用していた（例えば、特許文献２参照）。
実公昭６２−３４８７７号公報 実開平５−１６８９号公報 In the past bicycles, folding pedals have come to be seen for effective use of bicycle parking lots and the like. Specifically, a stopper shaft slidably fitted to the pedal tread plate is urged by a spring, and a fitting wall provided at the distal end of the stopper shaft is fitted at the central portion of the distal end of the pedal rotating body. For example, the pedal tread plate is fixed to a predetermined use state by being fitted into and out of the joint wall receiving port (for example, refer to Patent Document 1), or a slider in which the pedal tread plate is disposed in the pedal body in a direction perpendicular to the pedal main axis. A structure is used in which the pedal is supported by a moving button and is fixed to the pedal body when the pedal tread plate moves in a direction away from the crank arm side (for example, see Patent Document 2).

しかしながら、これら従来の折りたたみ式ペダルにあっては、折りたたんだ後のペダルの状態保持ができず、したがって、不用意に折りたたんだペダルが元の使用状態位置に戻ることがあって、例えば、駐輪場での整理に手間がかかる課題があった。   However, in these conventional foldable pedals, the state of the pedal after folding cannot be maintained, and therefore, the carelessly folded pedal may return to the original use state position, for example, in a bicycle parking lot. There was a problem that it took time to arrange the items.

本発明は上記課題を解決するもので、ペダルの折りたたみ状態を確実に維持できるようにして、管理操作性を高めることを目的とする。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and has as its object to improve management operability by reliably maintaining a folded state of a pedal.

上記目的を達成するために本発明の自転車は、クランクアームの回転中心をなすペダル主軸に回転自在に取着されたペダル本体と、上記ペダル本体に折りたたみ自在に支持されたペダル踏板と、上記ペダル踏板を使用形態でペダル主軸に保持し、操作により上記の保持を解除してペダル踏板の折りたたみ変位を可能にするストッパー手段とからなる折りたたみペダルを有し、上記ペダル踏板と自転車構成部品との間には、折りたたんだペダル踏板を保持する保持手段を設けたものである。   In order to achieve the above object, a bicycle according to the present invention includes a pedal body rotatably mounted on a pedal main shaft serving as a rotation center of a crank arm, a pedal tread plate foldably supported by the pedal body, and the pedal. A folding pedal comprising a stopper means for holding the tread plate on the pedal main shaft in use and releasing the above-mentioned holding by operation to enable the folding displacement of the tread plate; between the pedal tread plate and the bicycle component; Is provided with holding means for holding the folded pedal tread.

本発明の自転車によれば、折りたたみ式のペダルとしたことによって、駐輪場等における管理スペースを小さくできるとともに、ペダルの折りたたみ状態が維持されるため、課管理作業性も大いに向上できるものである。   According to the bicycle of the present invention, since the folding type pedal is used, the management space in a bicycle parking lot or the like can be reduced, and the folded state of the pedal can be maintained, so that the section management workability can be greatly improved.

本発明の実施の形態は、クランクアームの回転中心をなすペダル主軸に回転自在に取着されたペダル本体と、上記ペダル本体に折りたたみ自在に支持されたペダル踏板と、上記ペダル踏板を使用形態でペダル主軸に保持し、操作により上記の保持を解除してペダル踏板の折りたたみ変位を可能にするストッパー手段とからなる折りたたみペダルを有し、上記ペダル踏板と自転車構成部品との間には、折りたたんだペダル踏板を保持する保持手段を設けた。したがって、以ペダルの折りたたみ状態が確実に維持されることとなる。   An embodiment of the present invention uses a pedal main body rotatably attached to a pedal main shaft that forms a rotation center of a crank arm, a pedal tread plate foldably supported by the pedal main body, and the pedal tread plate. It has a folding pedal consisting of a stopper means which is held on the pedal main shaft and releases the above-mentioned holding by operation to enable the folding displacement of the pedal tread plate, and the folding pedal is folded between the pedal tread plate and the bicycle component. A holding means for holding the pedal tread plate is provided. Therefore, the folded state of the pedal is reliably maintained.

保持手段としては、クランクアームに嵌合する嵌合溝をペダル踏板の一部に設けることが考えられる。   As the holding means, it is conceivable to provide a fitting groove for fitting to the crank arm in a part of the pedal tread plate.

（実施例１）
以下本発明の実施例１を図１、図２、図３及び図４を用いて説明する。 (Example 1)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4. FIG.

図１〜図４において、１はペダル主軸で、このペダル主軸１に回転自在にペダル本体２が固定されている。   1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a pedal main shaft, and a pedal main body 2 is rotatably fixed to the pedal main shaft 1.

このペダル本体２には、ペダル主軸１の軸方向と垂直方向に配設する軸４により回転自在にペダル踏板３が軸支されている。５は嵌合体で、ペダル本体２のほぼ中央部に前記ペダル主軸１の軸方向に突出するように設けられている。６は摺動プレートで、ペダル踏板３に摺動自在に取り付けられ、ほぼ中央部に設けた嵌合口７が嵌合体５に嵌合する方向にスプリングにより常時付勢されている。   A pedal tread plate 3 is rotatably supported on the pedal main body 2 by a shaft 4 disposed in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the pedal main shaft 1. Reference numeral 5 denotes a fitting, which is provided substantially at the center of the pedal body 2 so as to protrude in the axial direction of the pedal main shaft 1. Reference numeral 6 denotes a sliding plate which is slidably attached to the pedal tread plate 3 and is always urged by a spring in a direction in which a fitting port 7 provided at a substantially central portion is fitted to the fitting body 5.

８はペダル踏板３内に配設されるように摺動プレート６に設けたほぼＵ字状の取手、９はペダル踏板３の先端部に設けた嵌合溝で、ペダル折りたたみ時、クランクアーム１０と嵌合させることができる。   Reference numeral 8 denotes a substantially U-shaped handle provided on the slide plate 6 so as to be disposed in the pedal tread plate 3, and reference numeral 9 denotes a fitting groove provided at the tip of the pedal tread plate 3. Can be fitted.

上記の構成において、ペダルを折りたたむときは、まず図３において、取手８により摺動プレート６を嵌合体５と嵌合口７とがはずれる方向に移動させることにより、ペダル踏板３は回転自在となり、図４のように回転させることによりペダルを折りたたむことができる。   In the above configuration, when the pedal is folded, first, in FIG. 3, the sliding plate 6 is moved by the handle 8 in a direction in which the fitting body 5 and the fitting opening 7 are disengaged, so that the pedal tread plate 3 becomes rotatable. By rotating the pedal as shown in FIG. 4, the pedal can be folded.

そして、ペダル踏板３の先端部に設けた嵌合溝９をクランクアーム１０に嵌めておくことによって、その折りたたみ状態が保持されるものである。   The folded state is maintained by fitting the fitting groove 9 provided at the distal end portion of the pedal tread plate 3 into the crank arm 10.

次に組み立てるときは、取手８を移動させ、ペダル踏板３を走行位置にし取手８から手を放すと、ペダル踏板３は固定され自転車は走行可能となる。   Next, when assembling, the handle 8 is moved, the pedal tread plate 3 is set to the running position, and the hand is released from the handle 8, the pedal tread plate 3 is fixed and the bicycle can run.

（実施例２）
図５は本発明の第２の実施例を示しており、この実施例ではスプリング１１により、嵌合口７が嵌合体５に嵌合する方向に摺動プレート６を常時付勢し、そしてネジを有したほぼ半球状の取手１２をペダル踏板３の側面に設けた長穴３ａを介して摺動プレート６の側面に設けたネジ穴にネジ止めしたものである。このほぼ半球状の取手１２を指で移動させることにより、摺動プレート６も移動し、容易にペダルの組み立て及び折りたたみ操作が行える。 (Example 2)
FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the sliding plate 6 is constantly urged by the spring 11 in the direction in which the fitting opening 7 is fitted into the fitting body 5, and the screw is removed. The handle 12 having a substantially hemispherical shape is screwed into a screw hole provided on the side surface of the slide plate 6 through an elongated hole 3a provided on the side surface of the pedal tread plate 3. By moving the substantially hemispherical handle 12 with a finger, the sliding plate 6 also moves, and the pedal can be easily assembled and folded.

本実施例において、ほぼ半球状の取手１２の代わりに、図６に示すようなリフレクター機能を有するほぼ長方形状の取手１３を用いてもよい。   In this embodiment, instead of the substantially hemispherical handle 12, a substantially rectangular handle 13 having a reflector function as shown in FIG. 6 may be used.

以上のように本発明の自転車は、折りたたみペダルの折りたたみ状態が確実に保持されるため、駐輪場等の管理上非常に有効であり。電動自転車、或いは、オートバイ等への展開も容易にできる。   As described above, the bicycle of the present invention is very effective in managing a bicycle parking lot and the like because the folding state of the folding pedal is reliably maintained. It can be easily applied to electric bicycles or motorcycles.
