Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pool bike or AQUA BIKE for professionals, physiotherapists, fitness centers, aqua gym and thalassotherapy centers or individuals.
  • the present invention relates to a bicycle or AQUA BIKE for pedaling in water.
  • the bike hangs on a stainless steel ladder or polyester support, on the edge of the pool.
  • the advantage is that you can remove the bike at any time without any significant manipulation.
  • the bike has a drive with a crankset, an axle and rear hub.
  • the mechanism is driven by a toothed belt.
  • the AQUA BIKE has disadvantages or difficulties because it is a bicycle which is immersed in water and in warm sea water with treatments (thalassotherapy center). Here comes the quality and the search for suitable materials.
  • the invention aims to be able to improve the work, the amplitudes, the progression in an aquatic fitness setting or simply in a rehabilitation setting.
  • this object is to be achieved by means of the pedaling drive of 4 blades which themselves pivot on an axis in order to be able to obtain more or less resistance depending on the opening.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of the front frame of the AQUA BIKE.
  • Figure 2 is a part of the rear frame of the AQUA BIKE.
  • Figure 3 shows a view of the AQUA BIKE with its pedaling and drive system.
  • Figure 4 shows the front and rear axes with pulleys, cranks and system.
  • FIG. 5 represents the second drive system called cascade of pinions (one pinion drives the other pinion and following).
  • Figure 6 shows the foot of the AQUA BIKE.
