Abstract

The tandem tricycle is for use by a healthy person and one with walking difficulties together. The healthy person sits on the saddle facing forwards, and the cripple in a bucket seat facing rearwards. Rocking hand levers (a) on both sides of the bucket seat are coupled by cranked tubes (b) and ball-bearings to the pedals. ADVANTAGE - The cripple can aid both propulsion and operation of a back-pedalling brake.

Description

Dreirad - Tandem für eine gesunde und eine gehbehinderte Person. Muskelbetriebene Dreiräder gibt es in der Form, daß die gehbehinderte Person vorne auf einem Rollstuhl sitzt, der dann auch abkoppelbar ist, (Rollfiets - Offenlegungsschrift DE 33 03 218 A1) oder hinter dem Fahrer entgegen der Fahrtrichtung transportiert wird, oder aber seitlich neben dem Fahrer ihren Platz einnimmt. (Offenlegungsschrift DE 3 02 847 A1) Alle diese Fahrzeuge haben den gravierenden Nachteil, daß die behinderte Person, die oft durch den durch ihre Behinderung hervorgerufenen Bewegungs­ mangel Übergewicht hat, von ihrem Partner allein bewegt werden muß, obwohl sehr viele Gehbehinderte, auch Querschnittsgelähmte zwei gesunde Arme haben. Meine Erfindung ist ein Dreirad-Tandem für eine gesunde und eine geh­ behinderte Person mit einer 5-Gang-Nabenschaltung. Dabei kann sich die gehbehinderte Person auf Grund eines Handhebel-Antriebs voll an der Fortbewegung des Dreirades mitbeteiligen.Tricycle - tandem for a healthy and a handicapped person. Muscle-powered tricycles exist in the form that the handicapped Person sitting in front on a wheelchair, which can then also be disconnected, (Rollfiets - Offenlegungsschrift DE 33 03 218 A1) or behind the driver is transported against the direction of travel, or to the side the driver takes her place. (Laid-open specification DE 3 02 847 A1) All of these vehicles have the serious disadvantage that the disabled Person who is often caused by the movement caused by their disability is overweight, must be moved by her partner alone, though many disabled people, including paraplegics, have two healthy arms. My invention is a tricycle tandem for a healthy and a go disabled person with a 5-speed hub gear. It can the person with limited mobility due to a hand lever drive involved in the movement of the tricycle.

Auf dem rückwärtigen Teil des Dreirades ist entgegen der Fahrtrichtung ein Schalensitz mit entsprechend verstellbaren Fußstützen montiert. Neben dem Schalensitz sind rechts und links am Rahmen zwei ungefähr in der Mitte an Kugellagern gelagerte bewegliche Handhebel (a) ange­ bracht. Vom unteren Ende der Handhebel wird über besonders abgewinkelte Rohre (b) und mittels entsprechender Kugellager eine bewegliche Verbindung zu den Innenseiten des Dreirad-Tretlagers hergestellt. Der Gehbehinderte kann auf dem bequem angebrachten Sitz Platz nehmen und sich über die beiden Handhebel voll an der Fortbewegung des Fahrzeugs beteiligen. Durch die Sicht nach hinten ist eine optimale Beobachtung des Verkehrs (Linksabbiegen) möglich.On the rear part of the tricycle is against the direction of travel a bucket seat with adjustable footrests. In addition to the bucket seat, there are approximately two on the right and left of the frame movable hand levers (a) mounted on ball bearings in the middle brings. From the lower end of the hand lever is over angled Tubes (b) and a movable one using appropriate ball bearings Connected to the inside of the tricycle bottom bracket. The handicapped can take a seat on the comfortably attached seat and fully engage in the locomotion of the Vehicle. The view to the rear is optimal Observation of traffic (turn left) possible.

Durch die Übertragung der Kraft auf die Fahrrad-Pedale kann gleich­ zeitig mit dem Fahrer die Rücktrittbremse betätigt werden und durch die 5-Gang-Nabenschaltung sind die Bewegungen der Handhebel in einem optimalen Tempo zu betätigen. Mit diesem Fahrzeug können Steigungen von 4-5% bewältigt werden. Sie sind von dem Erfinder mit einer 85 kg wiegenden Gehbehinderten (durch Polio an bd. Beinen gelähmten) Beifahrerin gemacht worden.By transferring the power to the bike pedals can be the same the coaster brake is actuated in good time with the driver and by the 5-speed gear hub are the movements of the hand lever in an optimal To press the pace. With this vehicle gradients of 4-5% to be dealt with. They are from the inventor with a weight of 85 kg Disabled passenger (paralyzed by polio on both legs) been.

Dreirad-Tandem für eine gesunde und eine gehbehinderte Person.Tricycle tandem for a healthy and a handicapped person. Dieses Dreirad-Tandem ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die gesunde Person vorn auf dem Dreirad-Sattel Platz nimmt und die gehbehinderte Person rückwärts auf einem Schalensitz. Durch zwei bewegliche Handhebel an beiden Seiten des Schalensitzes ist über zwei besonders angewinkelte Rohre und entsprechende Kugellager eine Verbindung zu den Tretlagern des Fahrzeuges hergestellt. Somit kann sich der Gehbehinderte an der Fortbewegung des Fahrzeugs aktiv beteiligen, und er kann durch gleichzeitige Verbindung zur Rücktrittbremse am notwendigen Bremsen teilnehmen.This tricycle tandem is characterized in that the healthy person takes a seat on the front of the tricycle saddle and the person with walking difficulties backwards on a bucket seat. Two movable hand levers on both sides of the bucket seat create a connection to the bottom bracket of the vehicle via two specially angled tubes and corresponding ball bearings. Thus, the handicapped can actively participate in the locomotion of the vehicle, and can participate in the necessary braking by simultaneously connecting to the coaster brake.
