Description
. Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein' Fahrrad,
auf welchem der Fahrer zwecks Verringerung des Luftwiderstandes beim Fahren,
ausgestreckt auf dem Rücken liegt.
Um diese gestreckte Körperlage einnehmen zu können, ist am Fahrrad gemäß der Erfindung
eine langgestreckte, aus einer Stoffbahn bestehende Rückenauflage verwendet, die in
der Neigung und in der Entfernung zum ίο Tretkurbellager verstellbar ist. Ferner erfolgt
das Lenken nicht durch "eine gebräuchliche Lenkstange, sondern durch zwei seitlich
am Fahrer vorbeiführende Taue oder Stangen, die an Verlängerungen der Vorderradachse
und an einem die Bewegung des Vorderrades mitmachenden Querstab des Fahrgestells
angreifen.. The invention relates to a bicycle on which the rider lies stretched out on his back in order to reduce air resistance when riding.
In order to be able to assume this stretched body position, an elongated backrest made of a fabric web is used on the bicycle according to the invention, which is adjustable in inclination and in the distance to the pedal crank bearing. Furthermore, the steering is not done by "a common handlebar, but by two ropes or rods running laterally past the driver, which attack extensions of the front wheel axle and a cross bar of the chassis that participates in the movement of the front wheel.
Auf der Zeichnung ist der Erfindungsgegenstand in einer beispielsweisen Ausführungsform von der Seite gesehen dargestellt. Das Fahrgestell c besteht aus einem langgestreckten, hölzernen Träger. Die Übersetzung von der Tretkurbel α zum Triebrad b erfolgt mittels Kegelräder. Als Rückenauflage dient eine zwischen zwei Stützpunkten am Fahrgestell c aufgehängte Leder- oder Stoffbahn/, die in der Neigung und in der Entfernung zum Tretkurbellager verstellbar ist. Hierbei ist die Entfernung der Tretkurbel α zum Triebrad b so bemessen, daß der Fahrer beim Fahren eine ausgestreckte Rückenlage einnimmt. Das Lenken des Fahrrades erfolgt hierbei durch rechts und links an der Körperauflage / vorbeigeführte, gleich lange Taue, Stangen o. dgl., die an den Verlängerungen e, e' der Vorderradachse und an einem hinter der Körperauflage / am Fahrgestell angelenkten Querstab h angreifen.In the drawing, the subject matter of the invention is shown in an exemplary embodiment seen from the side. The chassis c consists of an elongated, wooden beam. The translation from the pedal crank α to the drive wheel b takes place by means of bevel gears. A sheet of leather or fabric / suspended between two support points on the chassis c serves as a backrest, the inclination and the distance to the crank bearing being adjustable. Here, the distance between the crank α and the drive wheel b is such that the driver assumes an extended supine position when driving. The bicycle is steered by ropes of equal length, rods or the like that are passed right and left of the body support / the like, which attack the extensions e, e 'of the front wheel axle and a crossbar h hinged behind the body support / on the chassis.
Bei der dem Fahrgestell gegebenen Länge federt dieses in sich, so daß durch Radstöße auftretende dynamische Hemmungen ganz wesentlich herabgemindert werden. Um den Luftwiderstand noch weiterhin zu verringern, kann das Fahrrad mit einer windschnittigen Karosserie umbaut werden. Auch läßt sich diese Konstruktion auf Dreiradräder anwenden. Given the length of the chassis, it springs in itself, so that by wheel joints occurring dynamic inhibitions are reduced quite significantly. To the To further reduce air resistance, the bike can with a streamlined Body can be rebuilt. This construction can also be applied to three-wheeled bicycles.
