CAMPO DE LA INVENCIÓNFIELD OF THE INVENTION
Esta invención tiene su aplicación dentro de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de bicicletas y similares.This invention has its application within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of bicycles and the like.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Es conocido, por parte de los usuarios de bicicletas y similares, la necesidad imperiosa de trans¬ portar bombas destinadas al inflado de los neumáticos, debido a la pluralidad de averías que pueden presentarse en las ruedas de este tipo de vehículos, lo cual, en sí mismo, supone un notable inconveniente.It is known, by users of bicycles and the like, the imperative need to transport pumps intended for tire inflation, due to the plurality of breakdowns that can occur in the wheels of this type of vehicle, which, in itself, is a notable drawback.
En efecto, por una parte, la bomba de inflado ocupa un espacio en el vehículo, siendo preciso disponer de un anclaje para la misma, el cual no siempre presenta características sustanciales de seguridad, en cuanto a su potencial pérdida o expolio, además, aún cuando en principio pueda parecer trivial, el peso de esta bomba de inflado supone la realización de un esfuerzo extra para el usuario.Indeed, on the one hand, the inflation pump occupies a space in the vehicle, being necessary to have an anchor for it, which does not always have substantial safety features, in terms of its potential loss or plunder, in addition, even When in principle it may seem trivial, the weight of this inflation pump implies an extra effort for the user.
También es conocido por parte de los usuarios de- este tipo de vehículos, la reducida eficacia de la mayoría de las bombas de inflado, así como el notable esfuerzo que supone el "inflado" de una rueda con este tipo de dispositivos.'It is also known by users of this type of vehicles, the reduced efficiency of most of the inflation pumps, as well as the remarkable effort involved in the "inflation" of a wheel with this type of device. '
La solución evidente a la problemática existen¬ te en la actualidad en esta materia, sería la de poder disponer de un cuadro de bicicleta, fabricado a base de tubos huecos estancos, en el interior del cual se pudiera disponer de una cantidad de aire a presión, el cual pudiera ser recuperado para su utilización a través de una válvula apropiada, cuya cantidad pudiera ser vigilada por un manómetro montado sobre el propio cuadro, dispo- niendo de un dispositivo de válvula, que mediante un rácor roscado y la pertinente salida provista de válvula, permitiera su extracción.The obvious solution to the problem currently existing in this area would be to have a bicycle frame, made of watertight hollow tubes, inside which a quantity of pressurized air could be available , which could be recovered for use through an appropriate valve, the amount of which could be monitored by a manometer mounted on the panel itself, having a valve device, which by means of a threaded fitting and the relevant outlet provided with valve, allow its extraction.
Igualmente, a tenor de la disponibilidad de aire a presión en el interior del cuadro, podría dispo- nerse de forma opcional de un dispositivo de actuación neumática, mediante el cual se pudiera regular la altura del sillín de la bicicleta a tenor de la talla del usuario, y que este cuadro pudiera ser rellenado de aire en caso de requerirlo el usuario mediante un dispositivo generador de aire comprimido, que a tenor de un embrague, permitiera su acoplamiento o desacoplamiento, con el fin de rellenar el depósito formado por el cuadro o bastidor cuando éste lo necesitara, y teniendo por último la posibilidad de disponer de un rácor que permitiera la extracción y trasvase del aire contenido en el depósito, de forma simplificada.Likewise, given the availability of pressurized air inside the frame, it could have optionally become a pneumatic actuation device, by which the height of the bicycle saddle could be adjusted according to the user's size, and that this frame could be filled with air if the user required it by means of a device compressed air generator, which under a clutch, would allow its coupling or decoupling, in order to fill the tank formed by the frame or frame when it needed it, and finally having the possibility of having a fitting that would allow the extraction and transfer of the air contained in the tank, in a simplified way.
Sin embargo, hasta el momento, no se tiene conocimiento de la existencia de un cuadro para bicicleta que esté dotado de las características señaladas como idóneas.However, so far, there is no knowledge of the existence of a bicycle frame that is equipped with the characteristics indicated as suitable.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Siguiendo la figura número 2, se observa qu opcionalmente, el cuadro representado en la figura númerFollowing figure number 2, it can be observed that optionally, the table represented in figure number
1, puede disponer de un dispositivo de válvula co indicador de presión aplicable a cuadros de bicicleta similares, referenciándose el cuadro en esta figur número 2 con (11) y que interiormente dispone de la cámara (12) estanca totalmente, y destinada a permitir la incorporación en su interior de valores apropiados a la presión de aire, y que dispone de un orificio pasante roscado (13) para el acoplamiento del dispositivo de válvula (15) que cuenta con un extremo roscado (14) que se fija en el hueco (13) , disponiendo de un rácor roscado1, you can have a valve device with pressure gauge applicable to similar bicycle frames, referring to the frame in this figure 2 with (11) and that internally has the chamber (12) completely sealed, and intended to allow incorporation of values appropriate to the air pressure inside it, and which has a threaded through hole (13) for coupling the valve device (15) that has a threaded end (14) that is fixed in the hollow ( 13), having a threaded fitting
(16) en el extremo opuesto.(16) at the opposite end.
En el cuerpo de la válvula (15) , y concretamen¬ te en su interior, se ha previsto la existencia de una perforación lateral (17) en el que se monta un muelle helicoidal (19) situado longitudinalmente en el espacio interno (18) , así como un émbolo (21) provisto de una porción inferior (20) que actúa como elemento de junta estanca con relación al espacio interior hueco (18) , y disponiendo el émbolo (21) de un extremo superior (22) en forma de elemento marcador.In the body of the valve (15), and specifically in its interior, the existence of a lateral perforation (17) in which a helical spring (19) located longitudinally in the internal space (18) is mounted , as well as a piston (21) provided with a lower portion (20) that acts as a seal element in relation to the hollow interior space (18), and the piston (21) having an upper end (22) disposed in form of marker element.
Al margen de lo anteriormente citado, en el extremo libre de la proyección hueca (18) se ha montado de forma estanca una tapa transparente (23) provista de una escala graduada, la cual se encuentra enfrentada operativamente al elemento marcador (22) del émbolo (21) .Apart from the aforementioned, at the free end of the hollow projection (18) a transparent lid (23) provided with a graduated scale has been mounted tightly, which is operatively facing the marker element (22) of the plunger (twenty-one) .
De esta forma, la presión del aire comprimido contenido en el interior de la cámara (12) es indicada convenientemente con la adecuada calibración de la escala montada en el marcador situado sobre la tapa (23) .In this way, the pressure of the compressed air contained inside the chamber (12) is conveniently indicated with the proper calibration of the scale mounted on the marker located on the cover (23).
Debe indicarse que la válvula (15) sirve para cargar o descargar el aire comprimido a través del rácor (16) .It should be noted that the valve (15) is used to load or discharge the compressed air through the fitting (16).
Siguiendo las figuras números 3, 4 y 5, se observa, que el cuadro para bicicletas (31) , de caracte- rísticas similares al representado en la figura número 1, puede incorporar un sillín (32) montado sobre una tija (33), que cuenta con una superficie lateral (33') provis¬ ta de resaltes, y un vastago cilindrico (33''), que dispone en su parte inferior de unas piezas cilindricas o émbolos en su extremo libre (33, ( l).Following the figures numbers 3, 4 and 5, it is observed that the bicycle frame (31), of similar characteristics to that shown in figure number 1, can incorporate a saddle (32) mounted on a seat post (33), which has a lateral surface (33 ') provided with projections, and a cylindrical rod (33''), which has in its lower part cylindrical pieces or pistons at its free end (33 , (l ).
