Description

Bicycle and motorcycle

The present invention is easy to handle because the overall length of the entire bicycle can be set short, and the vehicle to be connected can secure a sufficient load space or a passenger's riding space, and also has a low center of gravity position and good running The present invention relates to a bicycle and a motorcycle that can ensure a balance.

Conventionally, loading and the like in bicycles and motorcycles are performed as follows.
In the case of general bicycles for home use and sports use, the loading place is in front of the handle, on the upper pipe, on both sides of the rear wheel, a small luggage table on the rear wheel, etc. , Mainly attached to the parcel table and upper pipe.
In addition, when a bicycle is used for business purposes, the cargo handling work is often performed by attaching a cart to the front wheel, behind the rear wheel, or the side of the bicycle.
On the other hand, in the case of a motorcycle, in general, including a sports car, a loading platform on a rear wheel, a basket attached to a handle, etc. are loading places, and in rare cases, an accessory case or the like is provided on the side of the rear wheel.

As this type of prior document, for example, there is Patent Document 1, which is a small package that can easily connect and disconnect a bicycle and a cart, and can travel stably, smoothly and safely when the cart is towed. The bicycle towing cart suitable for collection and delivery is provided.
JP 2008-12156 A

The following can be considered as problems in loading a conventional bicycle.
(1) Since the load position of the load is high and the center of gravity is high, the balance during running is lost and it is easy to cause an accident. Therefore, volume and weight are limited, and many cannot be stacked.
(2) Passenger seats attached to bicycles, for example, are used for pick-up of kindergarten children, but even if they are kindergarten children, their weight is heavy when riding bicycles, and the position of the passenger seat is high, so they are always exposed to the risk of falling. There is a risk of personal injury.

The following can be considered as problems in loading conventional motorcycles.
(1) A motorcycle is a machine that transports people to their destinations quickly, but because of its high speed, the load often causes the steering to go wrong, so it is not suitable for loading luggage. In particular, the loading place is mainly a loading platform on the rear wheel, and the position of the loading platform is high and the balance is easily lost. Therefore, volume and weight are limited, and many cannot be stacked.
(2) Even when the vehicle is not running, if there is a load on the loading platform on the rear wheel, when the motorcycle is moved manually, the handling of the motorcycle requires a great deal of force and there is a risk of falling.

In view of the above situation, the present invention is easy to handle because the overall length of the entire bicycle can be set short, and it is possible to secure a sufficient load space or a passenger's riding space with the connected vehicle, and to set the center of gravity position.

rear wheels

3 and 3 so that the running stability is high and safe driving is possible. Become. In addition, compared to traveling by the handcart 49 alone, it becomes possible to quickly carry sick persons, care recipients, and the like.

In FIG. 5, reference numeral 250 denotes a bicycle according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The bicycle 250 has wheels (3, 3... In FIG. 1) of the bicycle (210 in FIG. 1). Instead of a collection / delivery box (25 in FIG. 1), a rear end of an arm 26a is attached with a support wheel 26 that rotatably supports one wheel 26b.
A bicycle 250 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention has a support wheel 26 attached to a space formed behind a saddle vertical line that is a vertical line extending downward from the saddle 15, and the entire length of the bicycle 250 is set to be short. Since it can be done, handling is easy. Further, the support wheel 26 can support the main body of the bicycle 250 rearward, and the wheel 26b can serve as a rear wheel to stabilize the bicycle 250.

In FIG. 6, reference numeral 260 denotes a bicycle according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention, and the bicycle 260 has wheels (3, 3... In FIG. 1) of the bicycle (210 in FIG. 1). In place of the collection / delivery box (25 in FIG. 1), a training unit 48 for rotatably supporting a training roller 48b made of a roller having a rear end of an arm 48a having a predetermined weight is attached.
However, in FIG. 6, the lower half of the seat post 16 is formed by the upright pipe 10, the lower pipe is formed in a substantially straight shape, and the upper end of the upright pipe 10 is separated from the middle portion of the lower pipe. The driving wheel 1 has a deformed structure that is rotatably supported by an intermediate portion. However, such a deformed structure may not be used. The same structure as 220, 230, 240, 250, etc. may be used.
A bicycle 260 according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention has a training unit 48 attached to a space formed behind a saddle vertical line that is a vertical line extending downward from the saddle 15, and depends on the weight of the training roller 48 b during traveling. By applying the load, the rider of the bicycle 260 can perform training with an appropriate load by running the bicycle 260. In addition, the bicycle 260 has a relatively short overall length, the training roller 48b is also securely connected, and stable rotation is possible, so that road traveling is possible. Furthermore, since the entire length of the bicycle 260 can be set short, handling is easy, and the training unit 48 has a low center of gravity and supports the bicycle 260 body, so that the running stability is high and safe running is possible. .

In FIG. 7, reference numeral 270 denotes a motorcycle according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention. The motorcycle 270 has a handle 13 fixed to the upper end of the handle post 116 and a telescopic suspension 110 provided at the lower end of the handle post 116. The upper end of the front fork 111 is fixed to the lower end of the suspension 110, the seating seat 115 is fixed to the upper end of the upright frame 106, the backbone frame 105 is fixed to the upper end of the upright frame 106, and the front end is the suspension 110. A bent underframe 107 is provided with a rear end fixed to a lower end portion of the upright frame 106 and a front end fixed to a lower portion of the suspension 110.

The driving wheel 1 is pivotally supported on the rear half of the under frame 107, the slave gear 118 that rotates together with the driving wheel 1 is fixed to the driving wheel 1, and the engine 100 is mounted on the middle upper part between the front wheel 2 and the driving wheel 1. A main gear 117 that rotates together with the rotation shaft of the engine 100 is provided on the rotation shaft of the engine 100, and a fuel tank 104 that supplies fuel to the engine 100 is provided near the lower end of the seating seat 115. The chain 6 is stretched over the main gear 117, and the front end of a vehicle, for example, a carriage 20 with four

wheels

3, 3... Is fixed to the lower end of the upright frame 106, and the drive wheel 1 stands upright with the front wheel 2. The frame 106 is configured to be positioned at a substantially middle portion with the lower end portion.
The bent under frame 107 includes a bridge frame 108 formed in a bridge shape in the front half to avoid interference with the front wheel 2, a horizontal frame 119 disposed horizontally in the rear half, and a horizontal frame 119. The drive wheel 1 is pivotally supported at a substantially intermediate portion.
An arch frame 109 formed in an arch shape along the outer periphery of the upper half of the drive wheel 1 is arranged with the front end fixed to the rear end of the bridge frame 108 and the rear end fixed to the lower part of the upright frame 106. It is installed.

Thus, when the motorcycle 270 is driven, when the rider of the motorcycle 270 starts the engine 100 and connects a clutch (not shown), the rotation of the main gear 117 is transmitted to the slave gear 118 via the chain 6. The motorcycle 270 moves forward by the rotation of the drive wheel 1 that rotates together with the slave gear 118. At this time, since the front end portion of the carriage 20 is connected to the connection portion 22, the carriage 20 moves forward together with the motorcycle 270 main body.
