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 folding 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)。

Bicycles that have been foldable can be seen in conventional bicycles in order to make effective use of bicycle parking lots. Specifically, a stopper shaft slidably fitted to the pedal tread is urged by a spring, and a fitting wall provided at the tip of the stopper shaft is formed at the center of the tip of the pedal rotating body. For example, the pedal tread plate is fixed to a predetermined use state by being fitted to the entrance of the mating wall so that the pedal tread plate is in a predetermined use state (see, for example, Patent Document 1). A structure that is pivotally supported by a moving button and fixed to the pedal body when the pedal tread plate moves away from the crank arm side has been adopted (see, for example, 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 folding pedals, the state of the pedals after being folded cannot be maintained, so that the pedals that are folded inadvertently may return to the original use state position, for example, in a bicycle parking lot. There was a problem that took time to organize.

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 solves the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to improve the management operability by ensuring that the pedal is in a folded state.

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、上記ペダル踏板の一部に上記クランクアームに嵌合する嵌合溝を設けて、折りたたんだペダル踏板を上記クランアームに保持する保持手段としたものである。 In order to achieve the above object, a bicycle according to the present invention includes a pedal main body rotatably attached to a pedal main shaft that forms a rotation center of a crank arm, a pedal tread plate that is foldably supported by the pedal main body, and the pedal. The pedal pedal has a folding pedal which is held on the pedal main shaft in a use form, and is released from the above-described holding to enable the pedal tread to be folded, and the crank arm is provided on a part of the pedal tread. the fitting groove for fitting is provided in the pedal tread plate folded is obtained by the holding means for holding to the clan click arm.

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、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 pedal is used, the management space in a bicycle parking lot or the like can be reduced, and the folding state of the pedal is maintained, so that the 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、上記ペダル踏板の一部に上記クランクアームに嵌合する嵌合溝を設けて、折りたたんだペダル踏板を上記クランアームに保持する保持手段としたものである。したがって、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。 In the embodiment of the present invention, a pedal body that is rotatably attached to a pedal main shaft that forms a rotation center of a crank arm, a pedal tread plate that is foldably supported by the pedal body, and the pedal tread plate are used. There is a folding pedal that is held on the pedal spindle and has a stopper means that releases the above-mentioned holding by operation and enables folding displacement of the pedal tread, and is fitted to the crank arm on a part of the pedal tread the provided groove, the pedal tread plate folded is obtained by the holding means for holding to the clan click arm. Therefore, the folded state of the pedal is reliably maintained.

(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
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below 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 fixed to the pedal main shaft 1 so as to be rotatable.

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に嵌合することでストッパー手段を構成し、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 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 body, which is provided in a substantially central portion 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 a stopper means is configured by fitting a fitting port 7 provided in a substantially central portion to the fitting member 5 , and the fitting port 7 is a fitting member 5. It is always urged by a spring in the direction of fitting to.

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の先端部に設けた保持手段である嵌合溝で、ペダル折りたたみ時、クランクアーム10と嵌合させることで折りたたんだペダルを保持することができる。 8 is a substantially U-shaped handle provided on the sliding plate 6 so as to be disposed in the pedal tread 3, and 9 is a fitting groove which is a holding means provided at the tip of the pedal tread 3, when the pedal is folded. The folded pedal can be held by fitting with the crank arm 10.

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 slide plate 6 is moved by the handle 8 in the direction in which the fitting body 5 and the fitting port 7 are detached, so that the pedal tread plate 3 becomes rotatable. The pedal can be folded by rotating as shown in FIG.

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。   And the fitting state 9 provided in the front-end | tip part of the pedal tread 3 is fitted in the crank arm 10, and the folding state is maintained.

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 moved to the travel 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に嵌合することでストッパー手段を構成し、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 , a stopper 11 is formed by fitting the fitting port 7 to the fitting member 5 by the spring 11, and the fitting port 7 is the fitting member 5. The sliding plate 6 is always urged in a direction to be fitted to the pedal, and a substantially hemispherical handle 12 having a screw is provided on the side surface of the sliding plate 6 through a long hole 3 a provided on the side surface of the pedal tread plate 3. Screwed into the screw hole. By moving the substantially hemispherical handle 12 with a finger, the sliding plate 6 is also moved, 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 bicycle parking lots and the like because the folding state of the folding pedal is reliably maintained. Deployment to electric bicycles or motorcycles can also be facilitated.
