Abstract

Device for converting two two-wheeled vehicles into a tandem. The invention relates to a removable connection device between two cycles allowing one of them to tow or to aid the other temporarily. It consists of a cable (1) fixed to the leading cycle (3) by a winder (2) and fixed to the 2<nd> cycle (14) by a quick-release buckle composed of the elements (4 and 5). The opening of the buckle is controlled from the 2<nd> cycle (14) by a knob (8 or 9). The cable (1) coils up in the winder (2) under the action of the spring (11). A guide (10) prevents the cable (1) from catching up in the chain of the leading cycle (3).

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné à transformer 2 véhicules à 2 roues en unatandem. La liaison des 2 cycles est réalisée par un cable(l)lové dans un enrouleur(2)que l'on fixe au ler cycle (3) par exemple sous la selle ou sur le cadre.L'extrémitée libre du cable(l) est munie d'un élément (4) d'une boucle à largage rapide.L'autre élément (5) de la boucle est fixée sur le 2ème cycle, par exemple sous le guidon. The present invention relates to a device intended to transform 2 vehicles with 2 wheels into an unatandem. The connection of the 2 cycles is made by a cable (l) coiled in a reel (2) which is fixed to the 1st cycle (3) for example under the saddle or on the frame. is fitted with an element (4) of a quick-release buckle.The other element (5) of the buckle is attached to the 2nd cycle, for example under the handlebars.

La fixation t6) de l'enrouleur et la fixation(7) de l'élément(5) de la boucle sont réalisés par un système d'attache rapide réglable pour permetre une adaptation à tous les types de cycle(route ou tout terrain par exemple)
La liaison des 2 cycles se fait en réunissant les 2 parties(4et5) de la boucle. La séparation des 2 cycles se fait en désacouplant les 2 éléments (4et5) de la boucle en actionant le bouton(8) situé sur 1' un des éléments de la boucle.Une commande d'ouverture de la boucle peut etre faite à distance par un bouton(9) fixé par exemple sur le guidon du 2ème cycle. (14)
La Longueur du cable(l) est réglable pouréviter tout risque d'accrochage entre les cycles.The attachment t6) of the reel and the attachment (7) of the element (5) of the buckle are made by an adjustable quick-release system to allow adaptation to all types of cycle (road or all terrain by example)
The connection of the 2 cycles is done by joining the 2 parts (4 and 5) of the loop. The separation of the 2 cycles is done by uncoupling the 2 elements (4 and 5) of the buckle by pressing the button (8) located on one of the elements of the buckle. A command to open the buckle can be made remotely by a button (9) fixed for example on the handlebars of the 2nd cycle. (14)
The length of the cable (l) is adjustable to avoid any risk of snagging between cycles.

Un guide (10) orientable facilite la prise de la partie mobile(4) de la boucle et évite au cable(l) de s'accrocher à la chaine du ler cycle.(3)
L'enroulement du cable se fait automatiqument grace au ressort(ll) qui actione le réa(12) en le faisant touner sur l'axe(13) de l'enrouleur(2). An orientable guide (10) makes it easier to grip the movable part (4) of the loop and prevents the cable (l) from catching on the chain of the 1st cycle. (3)
The cable is wound up automatically thanks to the spring (II) which actuates the sheave (12) by causing it to rotate on the axis (13) of the reel (2).

A titre d'exemple non limitatif,le boitier de l'enrouleur(2) aura des dimentions de l'ordre de 12cm pour la hauteur et la largeur et de 4cm pour l'épaisseur. Les formes générales du boitier seront aerodynamiques. By way of non-limiting example, the casing of the reel (2) will have dimensions of the order of 12cm for the height and the width and of 4cm for the thickness. The general shapes of the case will be aerodynamic.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à transformer,lorsque les 2 cyclistes le désirent, 2 vélos individuels en un tandem afin d'unir leurs efforts et de surmonter ensemble les difficutées d'un parcour. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to transform, when the 2 cyclists so desire, 2 individual bikes into a tandem in order to unite their efforts and together overcome the difficulties of a journey.
