Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • scooters with a footboard for carrying a user are generally known from the prior art under the terms “kick scooter” and “roller board” or “skateboard”. While scooters have always had a handlebar in the form of a handlebar with a vertical steering column In the case of roller boards, designs which have a vertical handrail for the user have only recently become established. With the growing need of broad sections of the population for unlimited and combinable mobility, designs with removable or foldable handrails have been on the market in recent years which can be folded up for transport, for example in public transport As such vehicles were originally designed as toys, but are now used in city traffic as means of transport, the safety-related design of the current V use is not fair, so that there is always injury to people due to poorly designed vehicle elements.
  • the object is therefore to provide a vehicle which at least partially avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. This object is achieved by the vehicle according to claim 1.
  • the vehicle has a running board, wheels that support the running board, and a handrail that the user standing on the running board can grip.
  • the handrail is fastened to the rest of the vehicle with a hinge, which enables the handrail to be folded down from the operating position, ie from the position which the handrail has when the vehicle is used as intended, into a non-operating position and vice versa.
  • the joint is located at the end of the support rod that is closest to the running board in the operating position.
  • Locking means are arranged in or on the joint, for example latching elements or clamping elements, with which the joint can be locked at least in the operating position.
  • the joint together with the locking means arranged in the joint area, forms a compact functional unit, the front and sides of which, viewed in the intended direction of travel, form an essentially closed outer contour with smooth surfaces.
  • “Functional unit” means that the joint and the locking means share certain components in order to perform their tasks, or in other words that when the components required for the joint are removed, at least one part is missing that is required for the locking essentially closed outer contour with smooth Surfaces "is the outer contour of a body, the outer surface of which has essentially no abrupt steps or sharp-edged projections or edges. Recesses or depressions, such as bores and gaps between molded bodies, with a small extension in relation to the total surface of the outer contour, are permitted. Both “straight or curved rod-shaped elements” and “T-shaped or L-shaped arrangements of rod-shaped elements” are regarded as “holding rods”.
  • the handrail is arranged in the region of one of the ends of the footboard, inside or outside it, and is advantageously arranged on the front end of the footboard, as viewed in the intended direction of travel. In this way, gripping the handrail by the user is particularly easy. With such an arrangement, the front part of the closed outer contour of the functional unit also points outward in the direction of travel, which results in increased personal protection.
  • the locking means are preferably designed to lock the holding rod both in the .operating position and in the non-operating position, as a result of which the holding rod can be used as a carrying handle during transport.
  • the outer contour formed by the front and the sides of the functional unit is essentially convex, this favors a shape that is as rounded and therefore harmless as possible, it being preferred if the outer contour has an essentially cylindrical, frustoconical or barrel-shaped shape. This results in both manufacturing technology and design advantages.
  • the functional unit formed by the joint and by the locking means additionally has actuating elements for initiating and / or releasing the respective locking, which are advantageously integrated into the functional unit in such a way that they form a partial surface of the closed outer contour formed by the front and the side parts of the functional unit, for example in such a way that a specific surface part is designed as a push button.
  • the actuating means form essentially the entire outer surface of the outer contour of the functional unit, which is the case, for example, when the outer contour is essentially formed by a sleeve which is used to release and / or initiate a locking can be moved or rotated. This results in a functional unit which combines all mechanical elements and operating elements which are essential for the articulation movement and the locking or initiation / release of the locking.
  • the actuators are designed in such a way that they act by pressure, preferably in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the support rod and / or perpendicular to the intended direction of travel, by rotation, preferably around the longitudinal axis of the support rod, by thrust, advantageously along the Longitudinal axis of the support rod around, or can be actuated by a combination of these, making it a simple
  • the locking means are designed in such a way that when the operating position and / or the non-operating position is set, locking takes place automatically from the other position or from an intermediate position, with spring means, e.g. Coil springs, leaf springs or rubber elements are used, which the
  • Locking means regardless of the position of the vehicle with respect to gravity in a locking position hold. Such a configuration increases comfort and enables the use of simple actuation means.
  • the hinge has stop means, e.g. Stop shoulders, which are formed separately from the locking means and in the operating position and / or in the non-operating position limit movement of the joint in at least one direction of movement thereof. If the stop means are designed in such a way that they form the boundary in the main direction of force of the respective position, the locking means become significantly less and moreover not loaded in all directions permitted by the joint and can therefore be dimensioned weaker.
  • stop means e.g. Stop shoulders
  • the joint used is advantageously a swivel joint, the axis of rotation of which is preferably arranged transversely to the intended direction of travel of the vehicle, which automatically results in a small space requirement for the vehicle when the holding rod is folded down into the non-operating position.
  • the swivel joint is designed in such a way that it consists of two main elements that can move with respect to one another and are connected to one another via the axis of rotation, and the main element on the handlebar side is designed on its side facing away from the handlebar as a fork with at least two prongs for receiving one or more tines of the other main element between them , with the two outermost tines preferably forming part of the outer contour of the functional unit with their outer sides, this results in a particularly stable joint which additionally gives the possibility of arranging any actuating elements in the outer region of the two outer tines of the main element on the handlebar side.
  • the joint has a swivel angle of at most 100 °, preferably of at most 90 ° and even more preferably of at most 85 °, the locking means advantageously being designed in such a way that the joint can be locked in exactly two positions is possible.
  • the joint is preferably rigidly fastened to the running board with respect to the running board.
  • the holding rod also preferably has a hand knob on its end facing away from the joint, which can be gripped by a user standing on the running board when the vehicle is being used as intended. In this way, the user can use the holding rod to bring about a certain inclination of the running board in a simple and controlled manner and thus steer the vehicle.
  • the joint is rotatably fastened to the running board relative to the running board and is connected to the steerable wheels of the vehicle in such a way that the vehicle is steered by turning the joint opposite to the running board, it being preferred if the joint in the operating position of the holding rod is arranged rotatably about the longitudinal axis of the holding rod on the vehicle and the holding rod at its end facing away from the running board has a handlebar arranged essentially transversely to its longitudinal axis which, when the vehicle is used as intended, by a standing on the running board can be grasped.
  • the vehicle is a motorless vehicle, i.e. it has no external drive but is intended to be set in motion with human muscle strength or, on an inclined plane, by gravity.

  • the vehicle 1 has three wheels 6a, 6b which carry the running board 3, one of which is designed as an unguided rear wheel 6a and the other two are designed as front wheels 6b which can be steered by inclining the running board 3 relative to the standing surface of the vehicle.
  • the joint 4 is a swivel joint with a swivel angle of 90 °, which consists of two main elements 8a, 8b, which are rotatably connected to one another via an axis of rotation 7 oriented transversely to the intended direction of travel F.
  • the main element 8a on the handrail side forms a fork on its side facing away from the handrail 3 with two prongs which hold a corresponding prong of the other main element 8b between them.
  • the joint 4 has in its main element 8a on the side of the support rod an actuating element designed as a pushbutton 9 for locking means arranged inside the joint 4, which enable the joint 4 to be locked both in the operating position and in the non-operating position.
  • FIG. 3 which represents a vertical section through the axis of rotation of the joint 4 in the operating position according to FIG. 1

  • the vehicle-side main element 8b has a second recess 12 which is arranged on the latter in such a way that the slide latch 10 engages in the non-operating position and thus also a locking in the non-operating position is possible , Characterized in that the sliding bolt 10 is biased by the coil spring 11, when the operating or non-operating position is set, the sliding bolt 10 automatically snaps into the respective recess 12, and thus the respective position is automatically locked.
  • the joint with the locking means and the actuating members forms a functional unit in the region of the joint using certain components. As can be seen from FIG.
  • the vehicle-side main element 8b has additional stop lugs 13, which limit the angle of rotation of the joint 4 by the fact that in the operating position as well as in the non-operating position, corresponding stop surfaces of the main-element 8a on the handlebar side strike it , Since both the stop lugs 13 and the associated stop surfaces of the support rod side main element 8a are formed independently of the locking means and in the operating position limit the movement of the support rod 3 in the forward direction, which is the main direction of force in this position, the slide latch 10 and the recess 12 are not loaded in this direction and can be dimensioned weaker be than without such a sling.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une trottinette (1) comprenant une planchette pose-pied (2) munie d'une roue arrière montée fixe (6a) et de deux roues avant orientables (6b), laquelle peut être articulée par inclinaison de la planchette (2) par rapport à la surface au sol. Il est prévu, à l'extrémité avant de la planchette (1), une tige de blocage (3) qui, par une articulation (4), peut être repliée aussi bien en position rabattue qu'en position de marche, et qui est fixée de manière à pouvoir être bloquée, sur le véhicule (1). L'articulation (4) est réalisée de manière à pouvoir être bloquée automatiquement lors du réglage de l'une des deux positions précitées, cependant que tous les composants requis pour la fonction d'articulation, pour le blocage et pour un desserrage des moyens de blocage, forment, dans la zone de l'articulation (4), une unité fonctionnelle dont la partie avant et ses parties latérales forment un profil extérieur sensiblement fermé présentant des surfaces lisses. L'invention permet ainsi de réduire notablement, par rapport aux solutions connues jusqu'à présent, les risques de blessures par collision avec des personnes.
