VEHÍCULO DE PEDALES  PEDAL VEHICLE
D E S C R I P C I Ó N D E S C R I P C I Ó N
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención se refiere a un vehículo de pedales, que puede considerarse como un híbrido entre una bicicleta y un patinete, siendo autopropulsado por la acción de dos pedales horizontales con transmisión por cadena con acción a la rueda trasera. The present invention relates to a pedal vehicle, which can be considered as a hybrid between a bicycle and a scooter, being self-propelled by the action of two horizontal pedals with chain transmission with action to the rear wheel.
El objeto de la invención es facilitar el equilibrio del usuario sobre el vehículo de pedales, con una postura cómoda y erguida permitiendo su utilización con cualquier tipo de calzado. The object of the invention is to facilitate the user's balance on the pedal vehicle, with a comfortable and upright posture allowing its use with any type of footwear.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Son conocidas las bicicletas de dos ruedas accionadas por una cadena montada entre un plato dispuesto en el eje pedalier y un piñón situado en el eje de la rueda trasera, de manera que el problema mas importante que presentan las bicicletas es su falta de equilibrio. Two-wheeled bicycles operated by a chain mounted between a plate arranged on the bottom bracket and a pinion located on the rear wheel axle are known, so that the most important problem that bicycles present is their lack of balance.
Son igualmente conocidos los patinetes con dos ruedas o dos juegos de ruedas, uno delantero y otro trasero, con una plataforma en la que apoya el pie el usuario, siendo impulsado el patinete por el otro pie que apoyará en el suelo. El inconveniente que presentan las bicicletas es su falta de equilibrio, su postura forzada y a veces lo molesta que es la posición sentada sobre el sillín, sobre todo en el caso de tener hemorroides o alguna rozadora, o en ocasiones por otros males entre los glúteos. Scooters with two wheels or two sets of wheels are also known, one front and one rear, with a platform on which the user supports the foot, the scooter being driven by the other foot that will rest on the ground. The inconvenience presented by bicycles is their lack of balance, their forced posture and sometimes it bothers them that is the position sitting on the saddle, especially in the case of having hemorrhoids or a grater, or sometimes due to other ills between the buttocks.
Por su parte los patinetes presentan también una serie de problemas e inconvenientes, ya que la postura que se adopta sobre los mismos es muy forzada, poco natural e incómoda, existiendo también el inconveniente de que los patinetes no incorporan la posibilidad de cambio de velocidades y la potencia transmitida a la rueda motriz es muy limitada. On the other hand, the scooters also present a series of problems and inconveniences, since the position adopted on them is very forced, unnatural and uncomfortable, and there is also the disadvantage that the scooters do not incorporate the possibility of changing speeds and The power transmitted to the driving wheel is very limited.
Además, los patinetes, cuando son autopropulsados, los sistemas son complicados y muy específicos para cada caso, ya que requieren de piezas especiales, lo que indudablemente encarece el producto final. In addition, the scooters, when self-propelled, the systems are complicated and very specific for each case, since they require special parts, which undoubtedly makes the final product more expensive.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN El vehículo de pedales que se preconiza ya se ha dicho que constituye una especie de híbrido entre un patinete y una bicicleta, constituyéndose a partir de un cuadro convencional sobre el que va situado un manillar, incluyendo dos ruedas, una delantera y otra posterior, como si fueran las ruedas de una bicicleta, con la especial particularidad de que el sistema de transmisión por pedales está formado por dos plataformas suficientemente grandes como para que sobre las mismas apoyen los pies del usuario, de manera que estas plataformas están relacionadas, a través de sendas parejas de bielas, con dos conjuntos pedalier, uno delantero formado por el correspondiente eje y el plato correspondiente, y otro posterior que incluye también el eje y otro plato como el delantero, al objeto de que en los movimientos exista una total sincronización. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The pedal vehicle that has been recommended has already been said to constitute a kind of hybrid between a scooter and a bicycle, being constituted from a conventional frame on which a handlebar is placed, including two wheels, a front and a later one, as if they were the wheels of a bicycle, with the special feature that the pedal transmission system is formed by two platforms large enough to support the user's feet on them, so that these platforms are related , through two pairs of connecting rods, with two bottom bracket sets, one front formed by the corresponding axle and the corresponding plate, and another rear one that also includes the axle and another plate like the front, in order that in the movements there is a total synchronization.
Ahora bien, el conjunto pedalier trasero, además del plato referido, incluye otro plato a través del cual y mediante la correspondiente cadena se relaciona con un piñón previsto en el eje de la rueda posterior. Now, the rear bottom bracket assembly, in addition to the aforementioned plate, includes another plate through which and by means of the corresponding chain it is related to a pinion provided on the rear wheel axle.
Los dos ejes de los conjuntos pedalier anterior y posterior son horizontales y los platos de ambos están relacionados mediante una cadena que es accionada cuando se impulsan las plataformas en sentido ascendente y descendente, como si se tratase de los pedalier convencionales de una bicicleta, efectuándose la transmisión del movimiento a la rueda posterior. The two axes of the front and rear bottom bracket assemblies are horizontal and the plates of both are connected by a chain that is driven when the platforms are driven up and down, as if they were the conventional bottom brackets of a bicycle, the transmission of movement to the rear wheel.
Por consiguiente, el eje pedalier delantero incluye un solo plato y el eje pedalier trasero incluye dos platos. Ahora bien, en el caso de utilizar cambios de platos, el conjunto pedalier trasero llevaría mas de dos platos, al menos, y el conjunto pedalier delantero seguiría siempre igual, es decir con un único plato, de manera tal que en el caso del conjunto pedalier trasero un plato se utilizaría para mediante cadena vincular a ese conjunto pedalier trasero con el conjunto pedalier delantero, mientras que los otros platos se utilizarían para mediante la correspondiente cadena unir cualquiera de los platos con el piñón trasero de la rueda posterior para transmitir el movimiento a ésta. Consequently, the front bottom bracket includes a single plate and the rear bottom bracket includes two plates. However, in the case of using plate changes, the rear bottom bracket assembly would carry more than two plates, at least, and the front bottom bracket assembly would always remain the same, that is to say with a single plate, so that in the case of the set Rear bottom bracket a plate would be used to link that rear bottom bracket with the front bottom bracket by chain, while the other plates would be used to connect any of the plates with the rear sprocket of the rear wheel to transmit the movement. this.
Como es evidente, el usuario utilizará el vehículo en posición erguida con sus pies apoyados en las plataformas constitutivas de los pedales, apoyando las manos en el correspondiente manillar que está en la parte delantera y en una cota elevada, permitiendo que el equilibrio del usuario sea óptimo, con una postura cómoda y erguida y permitiendo lógicamente utilizar cualquier tipo de calzado, ya que la totalidad del pie aparece en continuo contacto con la plataforma constitutiva de cada pedal. Los dos grupos pedalier vienen relacionados mediante la cadena y los platos de ambos son exactamente iguales para que el movimiento giratorio sea sincronizado con las plataformas constitutivas de los pedales, incluyendo los ejes respectivos cojinetes a través de los cuales se unen los dos extremos de los pedales o plataformas a las bielas de dichos conjuntos pedalier, consiguiéndose con ello que los pedales o plataformas que los constituyen no giren libremente y se mantengan siempre paralelos al suelo, es decir en un plano horizontal. As it is evident, the user will use the vehicle in an upright position with their feet resting on the platforms constituting the pedals, resting their hands on the corresponding handlebar that is in the front and at a high level, allowing the user's balance to be optimal, with a comfortable and upright posture and logically allowing to use any type of footwear, since the entire foot appears in continuous contact with the constituent platform of each pedal. The two bottom bracket groups are related by means of the chain and the plates of both are exactly the same so that the rotating movement is synchronized with the constituent platforms of the pedals, including the respective bearing axes through which the two ends of the pedals are joined or platforms to the cranks of said bottom bracket assemblies, thereby achieving that the pedals or platforms that constitute them do not rotate freely and always remain parallel to the ground, that is to say in a horizontal plane.
De acuerdo con las características referidas, mediante el vehículo de pedales de la invención se consigue una propulsión eficaz y cómoda, pudiendo resultar útil en sectores como el deporte, jugueterías, en cuyo caso existirían pequeños modelos infantiles, y utilizarlo igualmente para el desplazamiento de adultos. In accordance with the aforementioned characteristics, an efficient and comfortable propulsion is achieved by means of the pedal vehicle of the invention, and can be useful in sectors such as sports, toy stores, in which case there would be small children's models, and also be used for adult travel. .
Se pueden usar distintos diseños e implementaciones con opciones tales como diferentes tamaños de ruedas, cambios de velocidades, frenos, etc., pudiéndose conseguir desplazamientos en distintos terrenos, con una mayor velocidad y mayor potencia que las proporcionadas por los patinetes convencionales. Different designs and implementations can be used with options such as different wheel sizes, gear changes, brakes, etc., being able to get displacements in different terrains, with greater speed and greater power than those provided by conventional scooters.
También cabe destacar el hecho de que la relación esfuerzo/rendimiento es muy superior a otros sistemas de propulsión mecánica utilizados en los patinetes, ofreciendo además una mejor ergonomía y diseño, y resultando fácil su fabricación ya que permite utilizar piezas existentes en el mercado para otros productos, siendo compatible con cambio de velocidades. También se consigue un mejor equilibrio que en una bicicleta convencional, ya que el punto de apoyo de las manos está mas alejado del centro de masas del conjunto. Also noteworthy is the fact that the stress / performance ratio is far superior to other mechanical propulsion systems used in scooters, also offering better ergonomics and design, and making it easy to manufacture since it allows the use of existing parts in the market for others. products, being compatible with gearshift. A better balance is also achieved than on a bicycle conventional, since the point of support of the hands is farther from the center of mass of the whole.
Adicionalmente, consigue una mejor visión del camino por parte del usuario, así como una visión mejor por parte de terceros, tanto en calles como en carreteras, ya que al ir el usuario de pie sobre el vehículo, aquel sobresaldrá por encima de la altura de los turismos y la mayoría de las furgonetas pequeñas, pudiendo evitar sustos y accidentes con otros conductores de las vías públicas. Additionally, it achieves a better view of the road by the user, as well as a better view by third parties, both in streets and on roads, since when the user is standing on the vehicle, it will stand out above the height of cars and most small vans, being able to avoid scares and accidents with other drivers on public roads.
También cabe decir que el vehículo puede considerarse indicado para usuarios con problemas de espalda, de rodillas e incluso con hemorroides, a los cuales la postura que se mantiene en una bicicleta les perjudica o les molesta, resultando muy indicado como medio de transporte en ciudades o para deportistas que no tienen mucho tiempo, ya que comparado con una bicicleta común se hace el mismo ejercicio en menos de la mitad de tiempo. It can also be said that the vehicle can be considered suitable for users with back problems, knees and even hemorrhoids, which the position that is maintained on a bicycle harms or bothers them, resulting very indicated as a means of transport in cities or For athletes who do not have much time, since compared to a common bicycle, the same exercise is done in less than half the time.
Por último decir que en aquellos casos en los que el vehículo no requiera de cambio de marchas, se podría utilizar un único plato en cada conjunto pedalier y una sola cadena que uniera los dos platos de ambos conjuntos pedalier y a su vez el piñón de la rueda trasera, es decir se utilizará una única cadena para todo el sistema, resultando muy aconsejable en el caso de que se trate de vehículos infantiles sin cambios de marcha, o solo con cambios de marcha en los piñones de la rueda trasera. Finally, in those cases in which the vehicle does not require a gearshift, a single plate could be used in each bottom bracket and a single chain that joined the two plates of both bottom brackets and in turn the wheel sprocket rear, that is to say, a single chain will be used for the entire system, being very advisable in the case of children's vehicles without gear changes, or only with gear changes in the rear wheel sprockets.
