Abstract

Conventional towing machines for skating devices or gliding devices are either unsprung or the springing is heavy and expensive to produce. According to the invention, the above disadvantages are avoided, whereby the frame of the towing machine itself acts as a spring.

Description

Zugmaschine zu Fußrollern Tractor to scooters
Beschreibungdescription
Fußroller und Fußgleiter im Sinne der Erfindung sind Vorrichtungen, die ein Rollen oder Gleiten auf den Füßen ermöglichen. Teils sind sie an den Füßen befestigt wie Rollschuhe oder In- lineskater. Teils, so beim Skateboard, steht man frei auf der Vorrichtung. Vergleichbare Vorrichtungen sind auch solche, die nicht auf Rollen bewegt werden sondern gleiten. Herkömmliche Skier, deren Länge verschiedenen historischen Wandlungen unterworfen ist bis hin zu Gleitern, die nicht wesentlich länger als 'die Fußlänge selbst ist. Gleitvorrichtungen derselben Gruppe sind beispielsweise auch Snowboards und Schlittschuhe .Foot rollers and foot gliders in the sense of the invention are devices which enable rolling or sliding on the feet. Sometimes they are attached to the feet like roller skates or rollerblades. Partly, so with the skateboard, you stand freely on the device. Comparable devices are also devices that do not move on rollers but slide. Conventional skis, the length of which is subjected to various historical changes to gliders, which is not significantly longer than 'the foot length itself. Sliding devices from the same group include snowboards and ice skates.
Allen gemeinsam ist es, daß die Fortbewegung nur durch Muskelkraft, also chne Motor, geschieht.What they all have in common is that locomotion only takes place through muscle power, i.e. a motor.
All diese Vorrichtungen haben es gemeinsam, daß über die bloße Fortbewegung hinaus weitere sportliche Anwendungs- möglichkeiten gegeben sind. Man kann springen. Es können Figuren, Tricks und Kunststücke gefahren werden. Es gibt Skateparks und Hallen mit unterschiedlichen Halfpipes, Rampen und Hindernissen, die weitere Voraussetzungen solcher besonderen Nutzung schaffen.All of these devices have in common that there are other sporting applications beyond mere movement. You can jump. Figures, tricks and tricks can be driven. There are skate parks and halls with different half pipes, ramps and obstacles that create further conditions for such special use.
Die Höhe eines Sprungs und die Ausführung einer Figur ist abhängig von der Anlaufgeschwindigkeit. Die Anlaufgeschwindigkeit läßt sich nur über ein vorgelagertes Gefälle herstellen oder aber mit einer Zugmaschine, die Gegenstand der Erfindung ist. Solche Zugmaschinen sind Stand der Technik. Sie haben gegenüber der Erfindung aber eine Reihe von Nachteilen, die die Erfindung vermeidet: Aus der US-Patentschrift 5,385,210 ist eine elektrisch betriebene Zugmaschine für Iniineskater bekannt. Der Nachceil dieser Maschine besteht darin, daß es sich beim gesamten Fahrzeuggewicht mit Motor, Batterien und Fahrgestell um ungefedertes Gewicht handelt. Eine solche Einrichtung ist nicht für' Sprünge geeignet. Es würde bei der Landung zu Beschädigungen an Befestigung und Rahmen führen. Zudem ist sie zu schwer. Dasselbe gilt für die Lösungen, die in den folgenden Schriften offenbart sind: US-Patent 4,456,089; WO 97/12651; WO 9718866.The height of a jump and the execution of a figure depend on the speed at which the jump starts. The starting speed can only be produced over an upstream slope or with a tractor, which is the subject of the invention. Such tractors are state of the art. However, they have a number of disadvantages compared to the invention, which the invention avoids: From US Pat. No. 5,385,210 an electrically operated tractor for Ini skaters is known. The disadvantage of this machine is that the total weight of the vehicle with the engine, batteries and chassis is unsprung. Such a device is not suitable for jumps. It would damage the mount and frame when landing. It is also too heavy. The same applies to the solutions disclosed in the following documents: US Patent 4,456,089; WO 97/12651; WO 9718866.
Diese Nachteile vermeidet die Erfindung damit, daß der Rahmen (4) federnd ausgebildet ist (Anspruch 1 und 2) .The invention avoids these disadvantages in that the frame (4) is resilient (claims 1 and 2).
Bei der Zugmaschine, die aus der Schrift WO 00/44607 bekannt ist, ist das Problem der Federung gesehen. Es wird mit einem doppelt gefederten Nickgelenk gelöst. Diese Lösung ist konstruktiv aufwendig und schwer. Dasselbe gilt für die Federkonstruktion, die in Anmeldung vom 23.02.2001 - 10109089.7 - offenbart ist. Beide Nachteile vermeidet die erfinderische Lösung, also die Ausbildung des Rahmens (4) selbst als elastische Feder: Sie ist in der Herstellung billig und hat nur ein geringes Gewicht .In the tractor, which is known from WO 00/44607, the problem of the suspension is seen. It is released with a double spring-loaded pitch joint. This solution is structurally complex and difficult. The same applies to the spring construction, which is disclosed in the application from February 23, 2001 - 10109089.7. The inventive solution avoids both disadvantages, that is to say the design of the frame (4) itself as an elastic spring: it is cheap to manufacture and has only a low weight.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß die gefederte Lagerung schwerer Teile auf einfache Weise damit gelöst werden kann, daß diese am Rahmen oberhalb der Krümmung befestigt werden (Anspruch 3) . Weitere Zugmaschinen nach dem Stand der Technik sind solche wie sie beispielsweise in den Schriften US 4,456,089 oder US 5,562,176 offenbart sind. Sie sind ungefedert mit den bereits dargestellten Nachteilen, die die Erfindung vermeidet. Auch sind sie mit Verbrennungsmotoren ausgestattet, die nach den Ansprüchen 3 und 4 der vorliegenden Erfindung vermieden werden weil die Explosionsgefahr und auch die Gefahr einer Beschädigung bei einem mißglückten Aufprall aus der Höhe nachteilig ist. Auch sind die Zugmaschinen nach diesen Schriften zu schwer, um Sprünge zuzulassen.Another advantage of the invention is that the spring-loaded storage of heavy parts can be easily solved by attaching them to the frame above the curvature (claim 3). Further tractors according to the prior art are those as disclosed, for example, in US 4,456,089 or US 5,562,176. They are unsprung with the disadvantages already presented, which the invention avoids. They are also equipped with internal combustion engines, which are avoided according to claims 3 and 4 of the present invention because the risk of explosion and the risk of damage in the event of a failed impact from the height is disadvantageous. The tractors are too heavy according to these writings to allow jumps.
Schließlich ist im Gebrauchsmuster G 9105050 eine Zugmaschine offenbart, die das Problem der Federung aber nicht löst sondern umgeht. Die schweren Teile werden am Körper getragen, was hinderlich ist. Im übrigen ist das Gerät nicht mit einer Bremse ausgestattet, wie es im Anspruch 5 der vorliegenden Erfindung beansprucht wird.Finally, utility model G 9105050 discloses a tractor which, however, does not solve the suspension problem but bypasses it. The heavy parts are carried on the body, which is a hindrance. Otherwise, the device is not equipped with a brake, as claimed in claim 5 of the present invention.
Vorteilhaft ist es, die erfinderische Lösung neben dem Antriebsrad mit einem weiteren, nicht angetriebenen Rad (6) zu versehen, das als Stützrad wirkt, wie es mit Anspruch 6 beansprucht wird. It is advantageous to provide the inventive solution in addition to the drive wheel with a further, non-driven wheel (6), which acts as a support wheel, as claimed in claim 6.
