Definitions

  • the invention refers to the bicycle for riding in lying posture, in particular to a bicycle fitted with chain gear and pedals, mounted in the driving wheel axle and provided with a specially designed frame which makes the cyclist assume a lying posture during the ride and provides for a significantly faster ride.
  • the invention is classified into Class B 62K 3/02 of the International Patent Classification.
  • the technical problem successfully solved by the invention in question refers to the design and implementation of such bicycle which allows for lying and/or the maximum possible aerodynamic posture of the cyclist in order to achieve the maximum possible utilization and the fastest possible ride.
  • the bicycle referred to in this invention is provided with a specially shaped frame and with a specially adapted driving mechanism enabling the cyclist to assume an optimum posture, in particular during a fast ride.
  • the specially designed frame consists of the basic part of the frame in the form of an approximately right-angled triangle and of the auxiliary parts of the frame which enable the cyclist to assume a practically lying posture; this is accompanied by mounting of pedals and of the chain wheel on the axle of the last driving wheel as well as by chain transmission via the central section of the basic part of the frame bearing the driving wheel axle.
  • the bicycle for riding in lying posture referred to in this invention consists of the basic part of the frame A, made up of profiled tubes 1 ,2,3, assembled in the form of a triangle with the tubes 2 and 3 forming an 80° - 90° angle and with the tubes 1 and 3 forming a 50° - 65° angle.
  • a freely rotating chain wheel 4 At the junction of the tubes 1 and 3 there is mounted a freely rotating chain wheel 4, whereas the junction of the tubes 1 and 2 is rigidly fixed to the carrier tube 5 of the steering tube 6.
  • both tubes 9,9' are rigidly connected with tube 2 of the basic part of the frame A via the tubes 15,15' to form between the tubes 9,9' and 15,15' an angle of 50° - 60°.
  • the free ends of the tubes 15,15' continue, via flexible joints or bearings 16,16' into the tubes 17,17' which finally join in the breast support 18 which is in its turn mounted on the tube
  • the cyclist While riding the bicycle referred to in this invention, the cyclist is in lying posture, not sitting, but rather stretched in the way that his breast is supported by the breast support 18 which due to the shock absorber 19 represents a counter-support to the cyclist's weight. In this way the cyclist assumes a very aerodynamic posture, which reduces the air resistance and in its turn provides for higher speed and/or better utilization of the cyclist's power.
  • the fixing of the driving pedals 11 on the axle of the rear wheel 10 allows for full utilization of the cyclist's lying posture during the ride as well as for maximum utilization of his pedalling.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne une bicyclette permettant de conduire en position allongée. Cette invention concerne plus particulièrement une bicyclette dont l'engrenage à chaîne et les pédales sont montés sur le moyeu de la roue motrice, laquelle bicyclette possède un cadre d'une conception spéciale qui permet au cycliste de se mettre en position allongée lors de la conduite, et de se déplacer beaucoup plus rapidement. Cette bicyclette comprend un cadre d'une forme spéciale, ainsi qu'un mécanisme d'entraînement spécialement conçu pour que le cycliste adopte une position optimale, notamment à grande vitesse. Ce cadre spécial comprend une partie de base de cadre (A) qui possède une forme globale de triangle rectangle, ainsi que des parties secondaires de cadre permettant au cycliste de se mettre en une position quasiment allongée. Les pédales (11) et l'engrenage à chaîne (12) sont montés sur le moyeu de la roue motrice arrière (10), tandis que la transmission par chaîne se fait par l'intermédiaire de la section centrale de la partie de base du cadre (A) qui supporte le moyeu de la roue motrice (10).
