Definitions
- the present invention relates to a stabiliser system for two wheeled vehicles, particularly vehicles which are powered by a rider.
- the invention relates most particularly, but not exclusively, to pedal bicycles and pedal-assisted bicycles.
- the rider of a bicycle experiences frequent stops and starts in urban areas due to road intersections, slow moving traffic and traffic congestion, road works and other obstructions. These conditions are a common occurrence for cyclists in towns and in urban areas and can result in potentially dangerous situations where the cyclist has to stop precipitately and may lose his or her balance in the process. In such traffic conditions, the cyclist has to put one or both feet on the ground at each stop and in many instances may have to dismount partially.
- the frequent and often abrupt stops and starts in traffic are highly inconvenient to the cyclist.
- a stabiliser system for two-wheeled vehicles which comprises an arm pivoted at its upper end at or adjacent the rear wheel spindle of the vehicle and having at its lower end a cross shaft carrying stabiliser wheels and a roller, and means for lowering the arm to draw the cross shaft beneath the rear wheel so that the tyre on the wheel engages the roller and the wheel is lifted off the ground.
- the arm carries at its upper end a plate which is rigidly connected to the arm and pivoted about the rear wheel spindle of a bicycle.
- the specification refers to the possibility of the arm being mounted eccentrically with respect to the rear wheel spindle without describing a particular construction for this purpose.
- the present invention is concerned with the provision of means for mounting the arm eccentrically.
- the arm is pivoted to a rearwardly extending portion of a bracket having an aperture intermediate its length to receive the rear wheel spindle, a spring extends between a forwardly extending portion of the bracket and a point on the arm below the point at which the arm is pivoted to the bracket, and the bracket carries, forward of the aperture, a stop engaging the frame of the vehicle and preventing rotation of the bracket about the rear wheel spindle in a direction to raise the forwardly extending portion.
- the stop is adjustable to raise and lower the axis of the pivot between the arm and the 1 bracket.
- the spring for example a gas strut
- the bracket has a short limb to which
- the stabiliser arm including the fully deflated tyre
- the adjustable stop provides for significant variations between the frames of different bicycles to which the system may be attached. These variations occur with different models and largely relate to the position and angle of the slot in the gusset plate into which the rear wheel spindle is inserted and locked in position, the variation being up to 12 mm or thereabouts.
- the adjustable stop engages a plate joining a seat stay and a chain stay of a bicycle to which the system is fitted.
- Such a gusset plate is strong and able to take the loads likely to be imparted by the adjustable stop.
- the adjustable stop may be formed with a groove to receive the lower edge of the gusset plate.
- the adjustable stop therefore provides a very simple means of positioning the mounting bracket and thereby the stabiliser arm and, at the same time, countering any tendency for the bracket to move when under load.
- the stabiliser arm does not move forwardly of an operative position in which it is close to vertical but is slightly inclined rearwardly.
- the arm is pivoted about an axis which is to the rear of the axis of the wheel and is able to move through an arc which includes the vertical through the axis of rotation of the wheel to a position forwardly and downwardly inclined to this vertical.
- the arm is able to move forward to a position in which the wheel with the partially or fully deflated tyre rests on the roller ahead of the said vertical to transfer the greater proportion of the weight through the roller. It is probable that when this occurs it will not be possible easily to move off as is the case when the rider comes to the halt with a normally inflated tyre and the arm does not reach the vertical; however, this will provide the rider with a clear indication that the tyre requires re-inflation.
- Figure l is a diagrammatic and fragmentary side elevation of the rear part of a bicycle with the stabiliser system fitted thereto and to a slightly smaller scale than Figures 2, 3 and 5;
- Figure 2 is a fragmentary horizontal section which is taken approximately on the line II-II in Figure 3 but the section line has been adjusted in parts to show the construction more clearly;
- Figure 3 is an enlarged side elevation partly broken away of the parts of the stabiliser system shown in Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is a fragmentary plan view of the stabiliser system seen in the direction of the arrow IV in Figure 1;
- Figure 5 is a diagrammatic vertical section of the region indicated by the arrow V in Figure 1.
- FIG. 1 shows, in simplified form, the rear wheel 11 of a bicycle having a rear wheel hub 12 carried on each side in a gusset plate 13 which is welded to the ends of a seat stay 14 and a chain stay 15.
- the bicycle includes a bottom bracket 16 to which is connected the seat tube 17 and the down tube 18 and which provides bearings for the pedal spindle 19.
- the pedal spindle carries a chain wheel, not shown, and a chain passes around the chain wheel and the drive sprocket on the rear wheel hub 12.
- the bicycle includes a derailleur change speed gear which is not shown in the drawing but, alternatively, the bicycle could include a hub-type change speed gear or no gear change means.
- Bracket 24 Attached to the frame of the bicycle in the vicinity of the rear wheel hub 12 and on the side of the frame opposite to that of the drive sprocket is an elongate bracket 24 made as a flanged steel pressing.
- the bracket has an apertured ear 25 on its upper edge intermediate its length which is clamped by one of the rear wheel spindle nuts between this nut and the gusset plate 13.
- a stabiliser strut or arm 26 has at its upper end a lug 27 by which is is pivoted to a stub axle 21 at the rear end of the bracket 24 about a horizontal axis which is parallel to but is spaced rearwardly from the axis of the rear wheel spindle 12.
- the strut 26 is biased to the raised or inoperative position as shown in Figure 1 by a gas or other spring 28 which is pivoted at one end to a lug 29 intermediate the ends of the strut 26 and at another point intermediate its length to a stub axle 30 at the forward end of the bracket 25.
- a mounting block is carried by a pin 22 rotatable in the bracket, the block having a threaded aperture through which is threaded a bolt 31 having at its upper end an abutment block 31a which is pivoted to the bolt for rotation about the longitudinal axis of the bolt.
- the block 31a is formed with a notch to receive the lower edge of the gusset plate 13.
- the mounting block, the bolt 31 and the abutment block 31a constitute an adjustable stop which transfers loads acting clockwise (as seen in Figure 1) from the strut 26 to the frame of the bicycle and permits adjustment of the location of the strut as will be described below.
- the lower end of the strut 26 carries a sleeve 32 ( Figure 4) in which a hollow cross shaft 33 is rigidly secured. Opposite ends of the shaft 33 carry freely rotatable ground engaging stabiliser wheels 34,35.
- a freely rotatable roller 36 which is generally aligned with the plane of the wheel 11 and has flanges 37 which are spaced apart so as snugly to engage the opposite sides of the tyre when the stabiliser is in operation as will be described below.
- a pair of sleeves 38 which are rigidly secured by pins 39 to the shaft 33 and a shaped cable guide plate 41 is secured to these sleeves.
- the plate 41 is generally C-shaped having a pair of spaced limbs 42 which are curved at their extremities as can be seen in Figure 5 so as to correspond to the curvature of the outer surface of the sleeves 38 and a generally rectangular connecting portion 43.
- a pair of gussets 44 are secured to the sleeves 38 and to the plate 41 to provide stiffening.
- the outer edge of the plate 41 is formed with a relatively deep groove 45 to provide a guide for a cable 46, the cable being a loose fit in the groove so that it may slide along the groove in either direction, the curvature of the outer ends of the limbs 42 of the plate 41 providing a convenient transition zone at each end of the groove 45 as can be seen in Figure 5.
- the cable 46 is formed into an endless loop by means of a single connector 48 which joins the two ends of the loop and provides a means for adjusting the length of the loop.
- the angling of the plate 41 (as viewed in Figures 1 and 5) serves two purposes.
- the path of the cable 46 changes direction as it enters and leaves the groove 45 and is partially wrapped around the sleeves 38.
- the sleeves 38 are non-rotatable so that friction is developed between the sleeves 38 and the cable 46, thus reducing the load imparted by the cable to the plate 41. While this friction is advantageous in reducing the load applied to the plate 41, it should not be so great as to prevent the cable slipping lengthwise of itself in order substantially to equalise the tension in the parts of the cable on opposite sides of the bicycle.
- the amount by which the plate 41 is angled will be selected to produce an appropriate amount of friction around the sleeves 38 while producing the required ground clearance for the plate 41.
- Clamped to the forward ends of the chain stays 15 adjacent the bottom bracket 16 is an adjustable anchorage 51 carrying a central horizontal pivot 52 for the upper end of a swing arm 53 ( Figures 2 and 3) which is able to pivot in the plane of the rear wheel 11.
- the swing arm which is formed of a square tube, carries at its lower end a U-shaped bracket 54 having a pair of rearwardly and downwardly directed arms 55 having apertures containing bearings in which a spindle 56 is journalled.
- a tyre engaging rotary member or wheel 57 and a pair of spools or winches 58 are rigidly secured to the spindle 56 between the two arms 55.
- the wheel 57 has outer flanges 57a and a central groove 57b all of which are formed with teeth to achieve a good entrain ent between the tyre and the wheel, this being assisted by the fact that the teeth on the flanges are displaced by half a tooth pitch around the circumference relative to the teeth in the groove.
- the diameter of the tyre-engaging wheel 57 is approximately six times that of the base of the groove in each of the spools 58.
- the stabiliser system includes an actuator means v/hich includes a stator unit 61 which comprises a box member 62 which is of generally triangular elevation and is pivoted at its upper corner on the pivot 52 on the bracket 51 and is held in position by an adjustable length strut 63 pivoted at one end to a lug 64 on the box member 62 and at the other end to an adjustable clamp 65 on the down tube 18.
- a stator unit 61 which comprises a box member 62 which is of generally triangular elevation and is pivoted at its upper corner on the pivot 52 on the bracket 51 and is held in position by an adjustable length strut 63 pivoted at one end to a lug 64 on the box member 62 and at the other end to an adjustable clamp 65 on the down tube 18.
- a transverse pin 66 extending between the side walls of the box member 62 carries a cam 67 which has a lobe 68 engaging the swing arm 53 and an arm 69 receiving one end of the core of a Bowden cable 75.
- This cable extends to a manually operable control lever (not shown) on the handlebars of the bicycle.
- the sheath of the Bowden cable is adjustably secured to the front wall of the box member 62.
- the actuator lever on the handlebars has a latching operative position and a secondary lever by which the actuator lever can be released from its operative position.
- housings 76 Extending from each side of the box member 62 adjacent its bottom are housings 76 containing tapered flanged guide pulleys 77 which are rotatable on a cross-shaft 78.
- the run of the cable 46 is best seen in Figures 2, 4 and 5 and is as follows. From one end of the groove 45 in the cable guide plate 41, the cable extends forward to one of the guide pulleys 77 and then rearwardly to one of the spools 58. It then passes through a bore 79 extending through the inner flange of the said spool, the tyre-engaging wheel 57 and the inner flange of the other spool 58.
- the cable passes around the other guide pulley 77 and extends rearwardly to the other end of the groove 45 and along the groove to complete the loop.
- the housings 76 have windows to permit passage of the cable 46 to and from the pulleys 77. Operation of the stabiliser is as follows. During normal riding, the stabiliser system is in the condition shown in Figure 1 with the strut 26 in the raised position. It is maintained in this position by the gas spring 28 tending to pivot the strut 26 in the anti-clockwise direction as seen in Figure 1, such movement being prevented by tension in the cable 46.
- the weights of the rider and of the bicycle are largely transferred to the ground through the tyre, the roller 36 and the wheels 34 and 35 but a small proportion of this weight will be transmitted through the strut 26. It will be seen that the stabiliser device will, provided that the bicycle is maintained approximately upright, support the bicycle in the upright position without the rider having to place a foot on the ground. It is also possible for the rider to dismount and to leave the bicycle in a parked condition.
- the telescopic strut 26 has adjustment means, in this particular case a screw-threaded rod having a turn-key 95 at its upper end by which the pre-compression of a variable rate spring provided between the two telescoping parts of the strut can be adjusted, in order to accommodate riders of different weights.
- adjustment means in this particular case a screw-threaded rod having a turn-key 95 at its upper end by which the pre-compression of a variable rate spring provided between the two telescoping parts of the strut can be adjusted, in order to accommodate riders of different weights.
- the control lever on the handlebars is released thus causing the cam 67 to retract to allow the swing arm 53 to move clockwise as seen in Figure 3 to release the wheel 57 from the tyre of the wheel 11 and removing the restraint on rotation of the spools 58.
- a spring may be provided to bias the swing arm clockwise to encourage movement of the wheel 57 away from the tyre.
- the strut 26 then moves back towards the retracted position under the influence of the gas spring 28 and the tendency of the bicycle to move forwards as the rear wheel drops off the roller 36 once the bicycle brakes have been released. Simultaneously the rider rotates the pedals and rides away smoothly. Since the cable is able to move longitudinally in the groove 45 in the plate 41, the stabiliser system will be stressed approximately evenly by the two limbs of the cable 46 so that it is not necessary to ensure that initially the two limbs are of equal length and any differential takeup between the two spools 58 or any differential stretch in the two limbs of the cable will be self compensated.
- the adjustable stop afforded by the bolt 31 is adjusted to position the bracket 4 and hence the lug 27 appropriately so that, because of the eccentricity between the pivotal axis of the strut 26 and the axis of the rear wheel hub 12, the roller 36 is sufficiently spaced from the tyre when the strut is in its retracted position but is sufficiently close to the axis of the rear wheel hub 12 when the strut is in the operative position for the bicycle wheel to be lifted off the ground by the roller 36, taking account of the compressibility of a properly inflated tyre.
- the strut 26 v/ill be able to move forwardly beyond the operative position and, in the case of a fully deflated tyre, reach a position in which the strut is forward of the vertical and the weight of the rider is transferred to the roller 36 essentially through the rim of the wheel and the flattened walls of the tyre.
- the stabiliser system will still be operative and the strut 26 will not be excessively stressed.
- Such a second adjustable stop can be of lighter construction than the first as it does not take any operational loads. It will be appreciated that various modifications and additions to the construction described can be made and a number will now be described.
- the cable 46 passes through a bore 79 extending through the inner flanges of the two spools and the tyre engaging wheel 57. With this construction it is essential that the entries to the bore in the two inner spool flanges are suitably flared to avoid damage to the cable.
- grooves are provided in the peripheries of the two inner flanges of the spools 58 and in the periphery of the wheel 57 and means such as returns at the bottoms of the grooves or cover plates retained by screws are provided for holding the cable within the grooves.
- Such a construction has the advantage over the bore 79 that it is not necessary to have access to an end of the cable 46 to pass it through the bore 79, the cable 46 can merely be laid in the groove at any point along its length so that it is possible to provide the cable 46 initially in a closed loop. This facility installation by mechanically unskilled bicycle owners.
- the preferred ratio of the diameters of the wheel 57 and the spools 58 is 6:1, other ratios between 2:1 and 10:1, for example, may be employed; larger diameters of spools are preferred to increase the radius of wrap of the cable on the spool but it v/ill be appreciated that the larger the diameter of the spool the smaller the increase in power that can be applied to the cable.
- the bracket has been described as being a pressing it could alternatively be a metal forging or of some other construction.
- the strut 26 is described as having means 95 for adjusting the precompression of the spring between the telescoping parts of the strut this may not be necessary.
- limiting means may be provided, preferably on the gas strut 28.
- the cylinder of the gas strut may have an internal stop which is engaged by the piston or the piston rod may have a stop which engages the end of the cylinder of the gas strut.
- a compression spring may be provided to prevent excessive shock as the end position is 1 approached.
- the gas strut 28 is pivoted to the bracket 24 at a
- stator unit 61 facilitates rapid adaptation of the stator unit 61
