Abstract

The present invention relates to a kick board including a footrest; a steering handle; and front and rear wheels. The kick board, which is a foldable kick board capable of being folded for easy storage and portability, also includes a footrest folding means. Since the footrest is folded by the footrest folding means, the front and rear wheels of the kick board are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance to be located side by side on the same line in a lateral direction. Thus, when the kick board is towed and carried like a carrier in a state in which the footrest and the steering handle are folded, the kick board can be conveniently and stably carried without falling laterally. Moreover, if the front and rear wheels land on the ground in a state in which the footrest and the steering handle are folded, a headlight and a taillight land on the ground at the same time such that the kick board can land on the ground in four spots. Thus, even if a rider does not hold the handle, the kick board can maintain its upright stable posture without randomly falling, thereby enabling the rider to perform other actions such as using a mobile phone, purchasing a product or the like by freely using both hands after parking the kick board while carrying the kick board.

Description

Improved Carrier Type Foldable Kick Board {CARRIER TYPE FOLDABLE KICK BOARD}

The present invention relates to a carrier-type folding kickboard, and more specifically, a carrier-type towing to maintain a stable posture without falling over easily during transport, and can stand stably without falling in a folded state. It is intended to provide a carrier-type folding kickboard that allows the rider to use a mobile phone or purchase items with both hands freely standing upright.

I think the time to travel is too much for busy modern people. So people choose bikes, motorcycles, cars, etc. However, for busy modern people, roads in Korea are very frustrating. So I try to get on public transportation. The most used public transportation in large cities is the subway, which runs on a regular basis.

If the distance to take the subway is close or the final destination is close from the arrival station, you will choose the subway without worrying. However, if the distance to the departure station and the distance from the arrival station to the final destination are long, they are worried that time will be wasteful and difficult again.

Therefore, the number of people who transfer from the departure point to the departure station and from the arrival station to the destination using bicycles or kickboards is increasing.

However, in Korea, bicycles are allowed to ride on the subway only on public holidays, so there are restrictions on use.In contrast, the kickboard has the advantage of being smaller and easier to carry than bicycles and that it can be carried and boarded on the subway. Especially, it is widely used by young people.

As a prior art of the conventional folding kickboard, there is a "foldable kickboard" of the Republic of Korea Utility Model No. 20-004403 (registered on September 15, 2000).

The foldable kickboard of the registered utility model is to be rotated by assembling a frame and a plate to the handle and the board as a shaft, respectively, and the handle is folded over the board by the operation of a lever installed on the frame to facilitate carrying and storage, When carrying, hold the handle part of the handle located on the rear wheel so that the front wheel is in contact with the ground so that it can be towed and transported in a carrier type.

However, the folding kickboard of the registered utility model has the following problems.

There is a problem in that transport becomes inconvenient because only the front wheel is in contact with the ground when transported by being towed in a carrier type in a folded state.

In the folded state, it cannot stand on its own, so it is necessary to keep holding the handle with one hand. Therefore, there is a problem that only the other hand can be used when performing other tasks such as using a mobile phone or purchasing goods during transportation.

In addition, as a prior art of a folding kickboard, there is a "folding kickboard" of International Publication No. WO2013065978 A1 (published on May 10, 2013).

The foldable kickboard of the internationally published patent is configured such that the handle support frame is folded over the footrest, and has a stand on the rear wheel side, so that it can be traction and transported in a carrier type, and can be stood by a stand during transport.

The folding kickboard of the internationally published patent has the advantage of having a stand at the rear end of the footrest so that it can be pulled in a carrier type so as not to fall over during transport.

However, there is a problem in that transportation becomes inconvenient because only the rear wheel touches the ground when transported by traction in a carrier-type in a folded state, so it will fall unless careful attention is paid like a unicycle.

In addition, since the folding structure for folding the handle support frame and the footrest is located between the lower end of the handle support frame and the tip of the footrest, even if the length of the handle support frame is shortened to shorten the overall length when folded, the overall length is less than the length of the board. Since it cannot be shortened, there is a problem in that it takes up a lot of space when stored or loaded in a vehicle.

Also, as a prior art of folding kickboard, there is a "folding kickboard" with three wheels. Such a folding kickboard has the advantage of being able to stably transport because three wheels including one front wheel and two rear wheels touch the ground when transporting by traction in a carrier type in a folded state by consisting of two rear wheels on the left and right.

However, since this folding kickboard is in a straight line with one front wheel and two rear wheels in a straight line, when folded, it cannot stand on its own, so you have to keep holding the handle with one hand. There is a problem in that only the other hand can be used when performing other tasks such as doing the same, and above all, the three wheels are densely located and thus unstable. This problem is commonly caused by folding the kickboard vertically.

Accordingly, the present inventor has repeatedly researched and developed to solve all the disadvantages while taking advantage of the prior art and the prior art, and completed the carrier-type folding kickboard of the present invention.

Republic of Korea Utility Model No. 20-004403 (Registered on September 15, 2000) "Foldable Kickboard" International Patent Publication WO2013065978 A1 (published on May 10, 2013) "Foldable Kickboard"

As the front scaffold 11 and the rear scaffold 12 are folded, the front end of the front scaffold 11 and the rear end of the rear scaffold 12 gradually approach, and the front scaffold 11 and the rear scaffold 12 are completely When it reaches just before folding, the hook 102 of the elastic hook 101 fixed to one side of the front end of the front foot plate 11 and the hooking jaw of the hook piece 104 fixed to one side of the rear end of the rear foot plate 12 ( 105) is approached (see FIG. 8), and when the folding operation of the front foot plate 11 and the rear foot plate 12 proceeds further in this state, the hook 102 of the elastic hook 101 becomes the locking piece 103 While being in contact with the side of the side, it is bent by its own elasticity and crosses over the locking jaw 105, and when the front foot plate 11 and the rear foot plate 12 are completely folded, the elastic hook 101 is restored by its own elasticity. The hook 102 is caught on the locking projection 105 (see Figs. 13 to 15), and the front foot plate 11 and the rear foot plate 12 are locked in a folded state (see Figs. 9 to 12).

As described above, when the front footrest 11 and the rear footrest 12 are folded, the front wheels 60 and the rear wheels 70 are positioned side by side on the same line in the left and right directions.

[Process of folding the steering wheel]

When pressing the unlocking handles 124 of the locking plate 112 rotatably installed on the neck body 30 in a direction approaching each other, the locking plate 112 rotates against the elasticity of the torsion spring 114, Accordingly, the locking piece 113 caught in the locking groove 111 is separated from the locking groove 111.

When the steering handle 40 is pushed rearward in this state, the neck body 30 coupled to the lower end of the lower handle post 43a constituting the steering handle 40 is pushed rearward.

At this time, the guide protrusions 31 formed on both sides of the neck body 30 move along the arc-shaped guide groove 22 formed in the guide plate 21 of the neck guide 20, so that the neck body 20 and the handle shaft (41), the entire steering wheel 40 including the handle arm 42, the handle post 43, and the handle 45 starts to be folded while rotating downwardly (see FIGS. 16 to 18).

As the steering wheel 40 is folded, the hook 122 of the locking plate 121 coupled to the upper end of the lower handle post 43a becomes the front footrest frame 11a of the front footrest 11 and the front footrest upper deco panel ( It approaches the rear end of 11b), and when the steering wheel 40 reaches just before it is completely folded, the hook 122 of the locking plate 121 contacts the rear end of the upper deco panel 11b of the front footboard and the locking plate (121) is rotated against the elasticity of the torsion spring 127 so that the hook 122 passes through the rear end of the front scaffold upper deco panel 11b and the rear end of the front scaffold frame 11a, and the hook 122 When passing through the rear end of the front scaffold top deco panel 11b and the rear end of the front scaffold frame 11a, the locking plate 121 is restored by the elasticity of the torsion spring 127 so that the hook 122 is moved to the front scaffold frame ( In addition to being caught on the lower surface of the rear end of 11a), the locking piece 123 is caught on the upper surface of the rear end of the front deco panel 11b, so that the steering handle 40 and the neck body 30 coupled thereto are arbitrarily erected. It is locked without this (see Figs. 27 to 30).

At this time, the hook 122 hooked on the lower surface of the rear end of the front footrest frame 11a performs a locking action in the direction in which the steering handle 40 is erected, and is hooked on the upper surface of the rear end of the front footrest upper surface deco panel 11b. The locking piece 123 performs a locking action in a direction in which the steering handle 40 is further folded, so that the steering handle 40 is maintained in a folded state.

22 shows the position of the neck body 30 with respect to the neck guide 20 in the state where the steering handle 40 is erect, and FIG. 25 shows the neck guide 20 with the steering handle 40 fully folded. It shows the position of the neck body 30.

[Process of adjusting the length of the steering wheel]

In the state shown in Figs. 31 to 33, when the clamp lever 44e constituting the handle post fixing means 44 provided at the lower end of the middle handle post 43b constituting the steering handle 40 is pulled upward, it is extended. The tightening cam portion 44f, which tightened the piece 44c, is released from the extension piece 44c, and the C-shaped tightening ring 44a that tightened the lower outer circumferential surface of the middle handle post 43b is relaxed, and the lower handle post 43a and The middle handle post 43b is slidable in the longitudinal direction.

In this state, pressing the middle handle post (43b), the upper handle post (43c), and the handle handle (45) toward the lower handle post (43a), the lower handle post (43a) is inserted into the interior of the middle handle post (43b). The overall length of the handle post 43 is shortened (see FIGS. 34 to 36).

After the handle post 43 is adjusted to the desired length, when the clamp lever 44e is pressed, the tightening cam portion 44f tightens the extension piece 44c, thereby tightening the C-shaped tightening ring 44a that was relaxed. The inner circumferential surface of the lower end of the middle handle post 43b is tightened to the outer circumferential surface of the lower handle post 43a, so that the handle post 43 is fixed in a length-adjusted state.

In addition, when the clamp lever 44e constituting the handle post fixing means 44 provided at the lower end of the upper handle post 43c is pulled upward, the tightening cam portion 44f that tightens the extension piece 44c becomes the extension piece 44c. The C-shaped tightening ring 44a, which is released from and tightens the lower outer circumferential surface of the upper handle post 43c, is relaxed, so that the middle handle post 43b and the upper handle post 43c are slidable in the longitudinal direction.

In this state, when the upper handle post (43c) and the handle handle (45) are pressed in the direction of the middle handle post (43b), the middle handle post (43b) is inserted into the interior of the upper handle post (43c) and the entire handle post (43) is The length becomes short (see Figs. 37 to 39).

After the handle post 43 is adjusted to the desired length, when the clamp lever 44e is pressed, the tightening cam portion 44f tightens the extension piece 44c, thereby tightening the C-shaped tightening ring 44a that was relaxed. The inner circumferential surface of the lower end of the upper handle post 43c is tightened to the outer circumferential surface of the middle handle post 43b, so that the handle post 43 is fixed in a length-adjusted state.

In the case of adjusting the length of the steering wheel 40, the length of the lower handle post 43a, the middle handle post 43b, and the upper handle post 43c is increased while the handle post fixing means 44 is relaxed. Next, it is sufficient to tighten the handle post fixing means 44 again.

In the case of transporting the carrier-type folding kickboard according to the present embodiment by traction in a carrier-type, the length of the steering handle 40 may be lengthened as shown in Figs. 31 to 33 according to the rider's physical condition, or As shown in 36, it can be shortened.

In addition, in the case of storing or loading the carrier-type folding kickboard according to the present embodiment into a vehicle, the length of the steering wheel 40 may be shortened to the minimum length, thereby minimizing the space occupied during storage or transportation.

[Process of folding the folding handle handle]

In the state shown in Figs. 19 to 21, the locking ring 48d is screwed to the handle bar 47a of the folding handle handle 45, and the locking ring 48d surrounding the slide rotation support 48a is rotated in the direction in which it relaxes. ) Is separated from the slide rotation support (48a), and then the folding handle handle (45) is rotated around the slide hinge pin (48c) supported by the hinge extension hole (48b) by pulling and turning the folding handle handle (45). To fold.

In this state, the locking ring 48d is rotated in the tightening direction again so that its tip is in close contact with the slide rotation support 48a so that the foldable handle handle 45 does not rotate arbitrarily (see Fig. 31).

[Carrier type transportation process]

As described above, when both the footrest 10 and the steering handle 40 are folded, the front wheel 60 and the rear wheel 70 contact the ground, and the rider grabs the fixed handle 46 and pulls it to be transported in a carrier type. I can.

At this time, since the front wheel 60 and the rear wheel 70 are located side by side on the same line in the left and right directions, the kickboard can be transported in a stable and convenient manner without the kickboard going to fall left and right during the transportation process in a carrier type.

[The process of putting the kickboard on the ground]

As described above, when the front wheel 60 and the rear wheel 70 land on the ground when the footrest 10 and the steering wheel 40 are folded, the headlight 130 and the rear light 140 land on the ground at the same time. Since the kickboard lands on the ground at 4 points, the kickboard does not fall arbitrarily and maintains an erect state in a stable posture (see FIG. 40).

At this time, the headlight 130 and the taillight 140 may prevent the lens from being damaged because the lens does not directly contact the ground by protruding the edge of the housing from the lens.

[Restore to riding state]

As described above, in order to restore the riding state from the folded state of both the footrest 10 and the steering wheel 40, first, the process of unfolding the folded folding steering wheel handle 45 and the process of erecting the folded steering wheel 40 and the footrest The process of unfolding (10) is sequentially performed.

[Expanding process of the folding handle handle]

In the state shown in Figs. 31 to 39, by turning the locking ring (48d) in which the tip is in close contact with the slide rotation support (48a) in a relaxed direction so that the tip is separated from the slide rotation support (48a), and then the folding handle handle Turn (45) so that it is placed on the same line as the slide rotation support (48a), and rotate the locking ring (48d) in the locking direction to wrap the slide rotation support (48a), so that the folding handle handle (45) is in an unfolded state. It is locked.

[Process of setting up the steering wheel]

When the unlocking handle 124 of the locking plate 121 constituting the steering handle folding locker 120 is pushed toward the front, the locking plate 121 rotates against the elasticity of the torsion spring 127 so that the hook 122 In addition to being separated from the lower surface of the rear end of the front scaffold frame (11a), the locking piece (123) is separated from the upper surface of the front scaffold upper deck panel (11b), so that the folded state between the front scaffold (11) and the rear scaffold (12) It is released.

In this state, when the steering wheel 40 is rotated upward toward the front, the steering wheel 40 is erected and the guide protrusion 31 of the neck body 30 is rotatably supported by the lower end of the steering wheel 40 While being guided along the guide groove 22 of the guide 20, it moves upward toward the front, and when the steering wheel 40 reaches just before it is completely erected, the locking plate 112 constituting the steering wheel stand rocker 110 The locking piece 113 approaches the locking groove 111 of the neck guide 20, and at this time, the steering handle 40 is further rotated while pressing the locking release lever 115 of the locking plate 112 to be locked. After making the piece 113 coincide with the locking groove 111, when the locking release lever 115 is released, the locking plate 112 rotates due to the elasticity of the torsion spring 114, and the locking piece 113 becomes the locking groove ( It is inserted into 111) and locked with the steering handle 40 upright.

[The process of spreading the foothold]

By pressing the locking release lever 115 of the elastic hook 101 constituting the footrest folding locker 100, the hook 102 is released from the hook 105 of the hook piece 104 to release the folded state locking, When the rear footrest 12 is rotated horizontally with the hinge pin 83 of the footrest folding means 80 as the center, the front footrest 11 and the rear footrest 12 are unfolded, and the front footrest 11 and the rear footrest When (12) is reached just before the fully unfolded, the hook 92 of the elastic hook 91 comes close to the hook groove 94, and the hook 92 contacts the hook groove 94 while the torsion spring 95 When the hook (92) and the hook groove (94) are completely aligned with the elasticity of the hook (92), the hook hook (91) rotates by the elasticity of the torsion spring (95), and the hook hook (92) is inserted into the hook groove (94). It is fitted so that the front footrest 11 and the rear footrest 12 are locked in an unfolded state without being arbitrarily folded.
