Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a recreational bicycle device.

In the past, cycling was thought to be something to be enjoyed by one person, and not much was done to enjoy the variety of fun that many people had together.

This invention is a completely new recreational bicycle device that breaks with conventional common sense, and its purpose is to enable a large number of people to enjoy playing at amusement parks, cycle centers, sports centers, etc. A saddle, a foot pedal, and a wheel that rotates with the rotation of the saddle are attached via a support that is rotatably inserted into the boss of the vertical rod of the handlebar. , are connected to form a single bicycle, and the frame protruding from the boss part of the handle of the single bicycle is detachably attached to the joint member, and a plurality of bicycles are connected in a dotted manner on a plane. It is in.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated embodiments.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 indicates three bicycles, and the bicycle 1 includes a wheel 2, a foot pedal 3 attached directly to the axle, a saddle 4,
A handle portion 5 is provided. Furthermore, the bicycle 1 has a support column 7 with a small caster 6 attached to the rear of the wheel 2.

Reference numeral 8 designates a joint member, specifically, a skewer-shaped joint member is inserted into the holes of the boss portions 9, 9 at both ends of the belt-shaped joint member 8, and into the opening hole at the upper end of the support column portion 7 of the bicycle unit 1. Insert the connecting pin 10 into the joint member 8, attach the bicycle unit 1 to the joint member 8, connect the three joint members 8, 8, 8 sequentially in plan view, and form a triangular shape as shown in Figs. 2 and 4. , and the bicycles 1, 1, 1 are disposed at each vertex and are assembled by connecting them in a dotted manner on a plane.

Further, the vertical rod 11 of the handle portion 5 is curved into an arcuate shape, and the support portion 13 of the saddle 4 is inserted into the boss portion 12 at the base of the vertical rod 11 so as to be rotatable as shown by arrow A.
The saddle 4, the pillar part 13, the fork part 14, and the wheel 2 are configured so that they can swing as shown by arrow A, and the upper end boss part of the support pillar part 7,
The boss portion 9 of the joint member 8 is pivotally connected to the boss portion 9 of the joint member 8 through a pin 10 so as to be rotatable as shown by arrow B. Therefore, each unit 1, 1, 1 can be directed in the same direction as shown in Fig. 4, or each can be directed in an arbitrary direction as shown in Fig. 2. In the former case, each person's In addition, in the latter case, it is unknown which direction the bicycle will travel in, and the bicycle 1 is pulled towards the side of the bicycle 1 on which the person with the stronger foot pressure is riding, and the pedal force is combined. It can be used for competitive play.

Of course, the connecting pin 10 is made of a square bar, etc., and the holes at the upper ends of the boss part 9 and the support column part 7 are made of square holes, so that the swinging in the direction of arrow B is stopped, and each unit 1 is set opposite to each other as shown in Fig. 2. It is also very desirable to fix it in one direction or, as shown in FIG. 4, to fix it in the same direction and selectively attach it depending on the way of play.

Alternatively, the handle part 5 may be connected to the support column 13, and the handle part 5, the saddle 4, and the wheel 2 may be made to swing as shown by the arrow A, or the handle part 5 and the wheel 2 may be made to swing as shown by the arrow A. It is also free to move it (not shown). Furthermore, omitting the handle portion 5 may be preferable depending on the purpose of play.

In addition, the assembled shape of the joint members 8... can vary from a single piece in FIG. You can freely set it to a square or circular shape.

Therefore, if the joint members 8, 8 themselves are pivotably connected to each other as illustrated in FIG.
In the connected shape shown in Fig. 4,...
The assembled shape of the joint members 8 changes from moment to moment due to the difference in foot pedal force of each bicycle 1, and thus the speed difference, thereby providing even new riding pleasure.

In addition, joint members 8 having various shapes in a plane as illustrated in FIG. You are free to select any one of them and attach it to the bicycle alone. At that time, joint members 8 suitable for attaching the number of units 1 according to the number of people in the group can be selected.

Next, in another embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the joint member 8 is rectangular in plan view, and a support column 7 is provided at each vertex, and the lower end of the support column 7 is Attach the caster 6 to the. On the other hand, on the bicycle unit 1 side, the support pillar part and caster in the previous embodiment are omitted, and the insertion shaft part 16 protruding downward from the frame 15 is attached to the upper end of the support pillar part 7 of the joint member 8. It is removably inserted into the hole 17.

It goes without saying that the various design changes already explained in the previous embodiment can also be made freely in the embodiment shown in FIG.

According to the effects of the above-described embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to easily select the optimal planar shape of the joint members 8 depending on the number of people in the group who wish to play.
In particular, various interesting planar shapes can be freely selected by combining the joint members 8.
In addition, the bicycle unit 1 is connected to the joint member 8,
If you fix it in opposite directions or mount it so that it can rotate in any direction, it will travel in unexpected directions depending on the difference in foot pressure of each person, allowing you to enjoy a fresh and fun experience. . In other words, you can enjoy the fun of riding a bicycle, like the two-person race or the centipede race at a sports day. In addition, when multiple bicycle devices according to the present invention are raced, it is necessary to maintain a balance between the pedal forces of each person in order to go straight, and the handling of the handlebars also requires skill, which is difficult to do at amusement parks, sports centers, etc. Therefore, it can be said that it is a vehicle device that provides extremely fresh fun and thrills.

The recreational bicycle device according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and includes wheels 2 to which foot pedals 3 are attached.
and the saddle 4 rotate together, so the running direction of the bicycle 1 can be changed freely, and no matter what direction the bicycle 1 is traveling, the foot pedal 3 can be rotated. The position is always maintained at a position that is easy for the rider to step on. In addition, you can freely increase or decrease the number of bicycles depending on the number of people you want to play with, and you can make noise and play together.
A completely new form of entertainment that allows you to enjoy the fun of bicycling (centipede race), where everyone has to coordinate their foot effort and handlebars in order to move in the desired direction. It is a vehicle.
