Abstract

The land and water bicycle has a toothed belt drive between the pedal crank and the wheels which are grooved in the middle. Paddles are mounted on the spokes of each wheel to assist passage through water.

Description

- 1- La présente invention concerne un vélo à deux roues, permettant de- 1- The present invention relates to a two-wheeled bicycle, making it possible to

circuler sur route, sur terre ou sur le sable, ainsi que dans l'eau douce ou l'eau de mer. Lorsque le vélo est immergé, le cycliste a de l'eau jusqu'à la taille. Ce vélo, fabriqué en matière P.V.C., ne comporte aucun élément  travel on the road, on land or on sand, as well as in fresh or sea water. When the bicycle is submerged, the cyclist has water up to his waist. This bike, made of P.V.C. material, has no components

métallique pouvant être altéré par l'eau.  metallic that can be altered by water.

Il comporte deux modes de propulsion, un pédalier actionné par les jambes, faisant tourner la roue arrière et une manivelle actionnée par les bras, faisant tourner la roue avant. Ces deux fonctions peuvent être actionnées  It has two modes of propulsion, a crankset actuated by the legs, turning the rear wheel and a crank actuated by the arms, turning the front wheel. These two functions can be operated

ensembles ou séparément.together or separately.

La transmission du pédalier et de la manivelle,  Transmission of the crankset and the crank,

placés dans l'axe des roues, se fait par deux courroies cran-  placed in the axis of the wheels, is made by two notched belts

Le système de propulsion dans l'eau est fixé sur un rayon de roue, de part et d'autre du moyeu. Ce système comporte deux nageoires, montées sur charnières, pour chaque  The propulsion system in water is fixed on a wheel spoke, on both sides of the hub. This system has two fins, mounted on hinges, for each

nisme de la flèche. Cette flèche est reliée par un bras à un cercle servant de guide au bras. Celui-ci est fixé à la fourche du vélo, pour ne pas tourner et il est excentré par rapport au moyeu. Lorsque la roue tourne les nageoires et la flèche tournent avec. Le bras de la flèche, étant relié au cercle servant de guide, fera actionner d'avant en arrière la flèche qui entrera et sortira de la charnière, ce qui aura pour effet d'ouvrir et de fermer les nageoires, pour faire  arrow nism. This arrow is connected by an arm to a circle serving as a guide for the arm. This one is fixed to the fork of the bike, so as not to turn and it is offset from the hub. When the wheel turns the fins and the arrow turns with. The arm of the arrow, being connected to the circle serving as a guide, will actuate back and forth the arrow which will enter and leave the hinge, which will have the effect of opening and closing the fins, to make

Claims (3)

REVENDICATIONS 1) Cycle caractérisé par un système de transmission par courroies crantées passant autour des roues, dans un logement prévu à cet effet, le caoutchouc à crampons servant de pneu thermo-collé sur la roue, est fendu au centre, tout5 autour de la roue pour laisser passer la courroie. Celle-ci va rejoindre le pédalier qui se trouve dans l'axe de la roue, ainsi, par l'action du pédalage, celle-ci entraînera la roue, qui, en tournant, fera fonctionner les nageoires installées sur un rayon de chaque roue, de part et d'autre du10 moyeu pour permettre au vélo d'avancer dans l'eau, les nageoires montées sur charnières s'ouvrent et se ferment grâce au mécanisme de la flèche; cette flèche est reliée par un bras à un cercle qui entoure le moyeu mais qui est fixé à la fourche pour ne pas tourner et il est excentré par rapport au moyeu. Ce cercle sert de guide au bras de la flèche; celui-ci étant excentré, il aura pour effet, lorsque la roue tourne, de faire actionner d'avant en arrière la flèche qui entrera et sortira de la charnière pour ouvrir et fermer les nageoires.  1) Cycle characterized by a transmission system by toothed belts passing around the wheels, in a housing provided for this purpose, the studded rubber serving as a tire heat-bonded to the wheel, is split in the center, all around the wheel to let the belt pass. This will join the crankset which is in the axis of the wheel, so, by the action of pedaling, it will drive the wheel, which, by turning, will operate the fins installed on a radius of each wheel , on either side of the hub to allow the bicycle to advance in the water, the fins mounted on hinges open and close thanks to the mechanism of the arrow; this arrow is connected by an arm to a circle which surrounds the hub but which is fixed to the fork so as not to rotate and it is eccentric with respect to the hub. This circle serves as a guide for the boom arm; this being eccentric, it will have the effect, when the wheel turns, of actuating from front to back the arrow which will enter and leave the hinge to open and close the fins. 2) Cycle selon la revendication 1, caractérisé par deux systèmes semblables de transmissions, l'une à l'arrière actionné par les jambes, l'autre à l'avant actionné par les bras.2) Cycle according to claim 1, characterized by two similar transmission systems, one at the rear actuated by the legs, the other at the front actuated by the arms. 3) Cycle selon la revendication 1 ou la revendi-  3) Cycle according to claim 1 or the claim cation 2, caractérisé par le fait qu'il ne comporte aucun élément métallique pouvant être altéré par l'eau, ce qui lui permet de rouler sur route, sur terre, sur sable ou dans l'eau.  cation 2, characterized in that it does not contain any metallic element which can be altered by water, which allows it to roll on the road, on land, on sand or in water.
