Description

La presente invention concerne, de façon générale, le domaine du vélo. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un système d'antivol d'accessoires de vélos type selle, tout en préservant le réglage ou l'ajustement de cet accessoire à la morphologie de chaque utilisateur, sans équipement ou outillage particulier lié à cette dernière fonction. Le renforcement des normes de respect de l'environnement ont récemment conduit au développement exponentiel des parcs de location de vélos (parcs de location de vélos dans les collectivités principalement). Le principe même de la location génère une 15 exploitation à utilisateurs multiples. Ces exploitations permettant à toute personne d'emprunter ou de louer, à des conditions contractuelles prédéfinies, un véhicule, justifie la mise en place de systèmes de préservation sur les 20 produits mis à disposition afin de garantir l'intégrité de structures concernées. L'existant propose aujourd'hui des principes de réglage de hauteur de selle par emmanchement et coulissement du tube de selle dans le cadre du vélo, 25 lui-même fendu en extrémité pour assurer l'élasticité pour le serrage. Le dit serrage étant assuré à l'aide d'une bride élastique autour du tube de cadre de vélo, elle-même contrainte par le blocage d'une vis (justifiant un 30 outil type clé) ou par un levier avec excentrique (pouvant être manœuvré sans outillage). The present invention relates, in general, the field of cycling. More specifically, the invention relates to a bicycle saddle accessories antitheft system, while preserving the adjustment or adjustment of this accessory to the morphology of each user, without special equipment or tools related to the latter function. The reinforcement of environmental standards has recently led to the exponential development of bike rental facilities (mainly bike rental facilities in communities). The very principle of leasing generates a multi-user operation. These farms, which allow anyone to borrow or lease, under pre-defined contractual conditions, a vehicle, justify the establishment of preservation systems on the 20 products made available to guarantee the integrity of the structures concerned. The existing today offers principles of seat height adjustment by fitting and sliding of the seat tube in the frame of the bike, itself split at the end to provide elasticity for tightening. The said clamping being ensured by means of an elastic strap around the bicycle frame tube, itself constrained by the locking of a screw (justifying a key-type tool) or by an eccentric lever (which can be maneuvered without tools).

Ce principe assure la possibilité d'adaptation à la morphologie de l'utilisateur mais n'interdit pas l'extraction aisée de l'ensemble selle/ tube de selle du cadre du vélo avec un outil classique ou sans outil. Un autre principe propose de remplacer la vis ou le levier par un composant « spécifique » du type vis (ou écrou) à tête avec empreinte personnalisée. Cette dernière solution assure le verrouillage 10 de l'ensemble selle/tube de selle (retardateur de vol) sur le cadre de vélo, sans en permettre le réglage autrement qu'à l'aide de l'outil spécifiquement adapté (clé avec empreinte personnalisée). Dans le contexte d'utilisateurs multiples, il ne 15 peut être envisagé de fournir à chaque utilisateur l'outil en question, bien que le réglage de la selle reste une fonction rendue indispensable pour le confort de l'utilisateur. L'invention, qui se situe dans ce contexte, a 20 pour but de proposer des éléments mécaniques additifs aux systèmes existants, en première monte ou en pièces de rechanges, afin d'assurer à la fois le réglage sans outil (ou avec outil standard) et le verrouillage de préservation (avec outil spécifique). 25 Le démontage pour entretien ou remplacement devant pouvoir être assuré. Pour ce faire, la fonction réglage et la fonction antivol sont distinctement séparées. La fonction réglage sera assurée par un serrage 30 sans outil ou avec outil standard et la fonction antivol sera assurée par un serrage avec outil standard ou outil personnalisé. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront clairement de la description qui en est faite ci-après, à titre indicatif et nullement limitatif, en référence aux dessins, dans lesquels : -la figure 1 est constituée par une vue en perspective du système à titre d'exemple, conforme à 10 l'invention. - la figure 2 est une représentation en coupe du système à titre d'exemple. - la figure 3 est une représentation en perspective du fourreau à titre d'exemple. 15 la figure 4 et la figure 5 représentent des variante du fourreau intégrant directement la fonction réglage. A cette fin, le principe de l'invention, conforme au préambule ci-dessus, est principalement 20 caractérisée par la réalisation d'une pièce nommée fourreau (1) qui comprendra une zone d'emmanchement rigide « Al » fig. 2 & 3 pénétrant à l'intérieur du tube de cadre (2) de vélo standard (ou non standard). L'adaptation aux différents diamètres de tubes de 25 cadres(2) utilisés pouvant justifier plusieurs variantes de diamètres sur ce fourreau (1). Ce fourreau (1), après montage dans le cadre (2) sera verrouillé par un collier de serrage (4) lui- même contraint par une vis (5) nécessitant un outil 30 spécifique ou non. This principle ensures the possibility of adaptation to the morphology of the user but does not prohibit the easy extraction of saddle / seat tube assembly from the bike frame with a conventional tool or without tools. Another principle proposes to replace the screw or the lever by a "specific" component of the type screw (or nut) with head with personalized imprint. This latter solution locks the saddle / seat tube assembly (flight retarder) on the bicycle frame, without allowing adjustment otherwise than with the aid of the specifically adapted tool (key with personalized imprint ). In the context of multiple users, it can not be envisaged to provide each user with the tool in question, although the adjustment of the seat remains a function made indispensable for the comfort of the user. The invention, which is in this context, is intended to provide additive mechanical elements to existing systems, original equipment or spare parts, to ensure both the setting without tools (or with standard tool ) and preservation lock (with specific tool). 25 Disassembly for maintenance or replacement to be assured. To do this, the adjustment function and the anti-theft function are separately separated. The adjustment function will be ensured by a clamping 30 without tool or standard tool and the anti-theft function will be ensured by clamping with standard tool or custom tool. Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge clearly from the description which is given below, by way of indication and in no way limiting, with reference to the drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is constituted by a perspective view of the by way of example, in accordance with the invention. - Figure 2 is a sectional representation of the system by way of example. - Figure 3 is a perspective representation of the sheath as an example. FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 represent variants of the sleeve directly integrating the adjustment function. To this end, the principle of the invention, in accordance with the preamble above, is mainly characterized by the realization of a piece called sheath (1) which will include a rigid fitting zone "Al" fig. 2 & 3 penetrating inside the standard (or non-standard) bike frame tube (2). The adaptation to the different diameters of tubes of 25 frames (2) used can justify several variants of diameters on this sleeve (1). This sheath (1), after mounting in the frame (2) will be locked by a clamp (4) itself constrained by a screw (5) requiring a specific tool 30 or not.

Ce fourreau(l) acceptera en coulissement, le tube de selle (3), et comportera une zone « A2 », fig.2 & fig.3, élastique, permettant la mise en place d'un collier (8) pour le serrage du tube de selle(3) à la hauteur désirée à l'aide du levier/ écrou à excentrique (7) et/ou tout autre système apparenté ou l'usage d'un outil standard (clé, pince, etc.). Cette fonction de serrage réalisée par la bague (8) pourra être intégrée d'une façon monobloc au fourreau (1) comme représenté sur les fig. 4 et fig. 5. La mise en place d'un élément, ici appelé butée (6), et représenté sous la forme d'une douille épaulée, rendu solidaire du tube de selle (3) par vissage, collage ou tout autre moyen de liaison rigide, interdira l'extraction de celui-ci du fourreau (1) rendant ainsi solidaire le tube de selle et la douille, elle-même rendu solidaire au cadre par l'intermédiaire du collier de serrage (4). This sheath (1) will slidably accept the seat tube (3), and will include an area "A2", fig.2 & fig.3, elastic, allowing the establishment of a collar (8) for clamping from the seat tube (3) to the desired height using the eccentric lever / nut (7) and / or any other related system or the use of a standard tool (wrench, pliers, etc.). This clamping function performed by the ring (8) can be integrated integrally with the sheath (1) as shown in Figs. 4 and fig. 5. The establishment of an element, here called abutment (6), and represented in the form of a shouldered sleeve, secured to the seat tube (3) by screwing, gluing or any other rigid connection means, it will prevent the extraction of the latter from the sheath (1) thus making the saddle tube and the socket, secured to the frame by means of the clamping collar (4), integral with it.

Tout argument tel que goupille, déformation locale du tube de selle, ou autre artifice pouvant assurer cette fonction de butée entre tube de selle(3) et fourreau (1) pourra être retenue. Selon un autre aspect important de l'invention, les matériaux choisis pour le fourreau (1) devront permettre le coulissement et le blocage du tube de selle (3) et la mise en place et le blocage /verrouillage dans les cadres standard ou non. Les matériaux choisis pour la fonction butée (6) devront présenter les caractéristiques mécaniques suffisantes pour garantir l'inviolabilité, même temporaire, du système. L'invention est particulièrement applicable pour le réglage des selles ou des guidons mais peut s'appliquer à toutes configurations justifiant un coulissement télescopique avec serrage en position intermédiaire et un besoin de verrouillage à l'extraction. Any argument such as pin, local deformation of the seat tube, or other device that can provide this stop function between seat tube (3) and sleeve (1) may be retained. According to another important aspect of the invention, the materials chosen for the sheath (1) must allow the sliding and locking of the seat tube (3) and the establishment and locking / locking in standard frames or not. The materials chosen for the stop function (6) must have sufficient mechanical characteristics to guarantee the inviolability, even temporary, of the system. The invention is particularly applicable for the adjustment of saddles or handlebars but can be applied to all configurations justifying a telescopic sliding with clamping in the intermediate position and a need for locking on extraction.
