Field of application of the invention

The invention relates to the attachment and securing of the shoes on the pedals when using normal touring and children's bicycles.

Characteristic of the known state of the art

In known safety devices for shoes on bicycle pedals, the determination of the shoes by belt (DE-A 13306925), with hangers (DE-A 13337927) or via sole adapter (DE-A 13722192). All of these solutions have the disadvantage that they are either very complex or only suitable for special adapted to the pedal shape shoes in construction and beyond a normal unsecured use of the pedals do not allow.

Object of the invention

The invention pursues the goal of developing a simply designed, cost-effective to manufacture and easy-to-use shoe protection for Fahrradpeciale.

Explanation of the essence of the invention

The invention has for its object to develop a shoe protection for bicycle pedals, which allows the universal adaptation to all shoe shapes and sizes and use of the pedals even without backup, although the known provided with shoe protection pedals suitable only for specially adapted shoes or limited shoe size ranges and do not allow any or only limited unsecured use. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the commonly used bicycle pedal is provided with a known Velcro closure system. Such, consisting of hook and i-lauichband Velcro closure systems have long been known and are also available everywhere. Despite the very numerous applications due to their excellent peel, adhesion and shear strength, they have not yet been used in the field of bicycle construction. The solution according to the invention provides for shoe protection for each pedal one or more in its length the intended shoe area adapted backup tapes, which are attached to the cranks of the facing sides of the pedals and provided at the opposite end on the inside with a belonging to the Velcro system Flauschbandschicht, these Velcro tape layers are associated with hook tape layers attached to the outer sides of the pedals applied to the cranks. The attachment of the backup tapes can be done arbitrarily, for example, by U-shaped adapter, which are attached to one end of the backup tapes and hooked from below into the inner support webs of the pedals and can be additionally retired ai if necessary. By suitable adapter design, the shoe protection can be adapted to the majority of known Pudalformen.

In addition, on the side facing the cranks of the pedals or on the outer sides of the backup tapes in Area of the pedal inner sides arranged hook tape layers, which also embodiments are possible in denan Velcro and Hakenbandschichten swapped or attachment of the backup tapes on the side facing away from the cranks or

can be made at another location of the pedals.

To use the shoe protection feet are placed on the pedals and the backup tapes with the desired Tension around the shoes wrapped around and Velcro and outer hook tape the Velcro fasteners engaged with each other

brought.

Furthermore, it is possible to include the shoes in the Velcro system by their surface with a Hook tape layer and the backup tapes over the entire length are provided with a loop tape layer. When not using the bike or the shoe protection tape can be wrapped around the pedal and the Flauschb'indschicht the security band are brought into engagement with the inner hook tape layer. Ausführungsbelsplel

The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to an embodiment. In the. corresponding drawing show:

1: a side view of the shoe protection according to the invention FIG. 2: a section A-A through FIG. 1.

By means of a U-shaped Adapteis 1 is a two longitudinal belt existing backup tape 4 on the crank arm side voln

hung down the inner support web 3 of the pedal 2 h.

The consisting of two longitudinal belt backup tape 4 is provided at one end with a U-shaped adapter 1, the of

can be hung down in the lying on the crank side inner support web 3 of the pedal 2. Inner support web 3 and outer support web 10 are provided with hook tape layers 5,11, the free ends 6 of the securing tape loops 9 have on their inner side 7, the associated loop tape 8.

The erfindugnsgemäße shoe fuse has the advantage that it can be used for the majority of known bicycle pedals and

a single version, unlike the strapped metal straps, is suitable for all shoe sizes. There are also no special requirements for the design of the shoes.

When learning to ride with children's bikes and children's tricycles, these shoe locks are for achieving a round Trittbewegung and to prevent slipping particularly advantageous, their dimensioning can be done so that

for the purpose of hazard prevention, an independent opening occurs when predetermined shear forces are exceeded.

In contrast, the inclusion of shoes, with its own hook tape layer in the shoe protection offers the possibility of Achieving particularly strong adhesive forces that can withstand even extreme loads.
