Description

CADRE DE CYCLE MUNI D'UN ELEMENT DE FIXATION POUR ATTACHER CYCLE FRAME WITH FASTENING ELEMENT FOR ATTACHING
UN ACCESSOIRE AN ACCESSORY
Arrière-plan de l'invention Background of the invention
La présente invention a trait au domaine des cycles, et plus particulièrement celui de la fixation d'un accessoire à un cadre de cycle.  The present invention relates to the field of cycles, and more particularly that of the attachment of an accessory to a cycle frame.
La présente invention concerne plus spécifiquement un cadre de cycle comportant au moins un élément de fixation pour attacher de manière détachable un accessoire au cadre, l'élément de fixation comprenant un premier organe de fixation solidaire d'une partie du cadre et un second organe de fixation destiné à être fixé audit accessoire, ledit second organe de fixation étant agencé pour venir s'engager de manière détachable avec le premier organe de fixation.  The present invention more specifically relates to a cycle frame comprising at least one fastening element for releasably attaching an accessory to the frame, the fastening element comprising a first fastener integral with a portion of the frame and a second fastener member. fastener for attachment to said accessory, said second fastener being arranged to detachably engage with the first fastener.
Par accessoire, on entend notamment, mais pas exclusivement, un porte-bagage, un porte-panier, un garde-boue, une lampe, une béquille, ou tout autre type de dispositif destiné à être attaché au cadre, par exemple pour améliorer le confort du cycliste sans pour autant être indispensable à la conduite du cycle.  Accessory means in particular, but not exclusively, a luggage rack, a basket holder, a fender, a lamp, a crutch, or any other type of device to be attached to the frame, for example to improve the comfort of the cyclist without being essential to the conduct of the cycle.
Ces accessoires n'étant pas destinés à être fixés de manière permanente au cycle, ils doivent pouvoir être détachés de manière aisée et rapide sans requérir d'outil spécifique supplémentaire.  These accessories are not intended to be permanently attached to the cycle, they must be able to be detached easily and quickly without requiring additional specific tool.
US 2010/0237120 décrit un cadre de cycle comportant un élément de fixation pour attacher de manière détachable un accessoire au cadre. US 2010/0237120 discloses a cycle frame having a fastener for detachably attaching an accessory to the frame.
Dans ce document, le premier organe de fixation présente la forme d'une glissière dans laquelle vient s'insérer un doigt d'une portion de couplage appartenant au second organe de fixation. In this document, the first fastener has the shape of a slide in which is inserted a finger of a coupling portion belonging to the second fastener.
Un inconvénient de cet élément de fixation réside dans le fait que la direction d'engagement du doigt dans la glissière est généralement parallèle au tube du cadre auquel la glissière est fixée. Ce mode de fixation pose problème dans les cas où l'accessoire présente un encombrement important et vient heurter d'autres tubes du cadre. A disadvantage of this fastener is that the direction of engagement of the finger in the slide is generally parallel to the frame tube to which the slide is attached. This method of attachment is problematic in cases where the accessory has a large footprint and hitting other tubes of the frame.
Lorsque les tubes du cadre sont très proches les uns des autres, l'accessoire peut se retrouver bloqué par les tubes de sorte que l'insertion par glissement peut se révéler difficile voire impossible. Objet et résumé de l'invention When the tubes of the frame are very close to each other, the accessory can be blocked by the tubes so that the insertion by sliding can be difficult or impossible. Object and summary of the invention
Un but de l'invention est de remédier à cet inconvénient en proposant un cadre de cycle muni d'au moins un élément de fixation offrant un mode de fixation alternatif.  An object of the invention is to overcome this disadvantage by providing a cycle frame provided with at least one fastening element providing an alternative method of attachment.
L'invention atteint son but par le fait que :  The invention achieves its goal by the fact that:
• ledit premier organe de fixation comprend un corps s'étendant selon un axe transversal à la partie du cadre, et une portion de retenue disposée à une extrémité du corps distante de la partie du cadre, ladite portion de retenue présentant au moins une surface de retenue tournée vers ladite partie du cadre;  Said first fixing member comprises a body extending along an axis transverse to the portion of the frame, and a retaining portion disposed at one end of the body distant from the part of the frame, said retaining portion having at least one surface of the frame; restraint turned towards said part of the frame;
• ledit second organe de fixation est agencé pour venir s'engager avec le premier organe de fixation selon une direction d'engagement sensiblement parallèle à l'axe, le second organe de fixation présentant un logement configuré pour recevoir la portion de retenue du premier organe de fixation, ledit second organe de fixation comprenant au moins un élément de maintien agencé pour venir se positionner entre la surface de retenue et la partie du cadre lorsque le second organe de fixation est engagé avec le premier organe de fixation, afin de verrouiller le second organe de fixation avec le premier organe de fixation.  Said second fixing member is arranged to engage with the first fastener in a direction of engagement substantially parallel to the axis, the second fastener having a housing configured to receive the retaining portion of the first member. fixing device, said second fixing member comprising at least one holding element arranged to be positioned between the retaining surface and the part of the frame when the second fixing member is engaged with the first fixing member, so as to lock the second fastener with the first fastener.
Aussi, on comprend que l'accessoire est engagé selon une direction transversale à la partie du cadre, de préférence perpendiculaire. Lorsque le premier organe de fixation est fixé à un tube du cadre, on comprend que la direction d'engagement est transversale à la direction longitudinale du tube.  Also, it is understood that the accessory is engaged in a direction transverse to the portion of the frame, preferably perpendicular. When the first fastener is attached to a tube of the frame, it is understood that the direction of engagement is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the tube.
On comprend que le verrouillage est obtenu par le fait que l'élément de maintien vient en butée contre la surface de retenue lorsqu'une traction axiale dirigée selon la direction d'engagement, dans un sens opposé à l'engagement, est exercée sur le second organe de fixation ; cela a pour effet d'empêcher le retrait axial du second organe de fixation.  It is understood that the locking is obtained by the fact that the holding element abuts against the retaining surface when an axial traction directed in the direction of engagement, in a direction opposite to the engagement, is exerted on the second fixing member; this has the effect of preventing the axial withdrawal of the second fastener.
De préférence, pour détacher le second organe de fixation du premier organe de fixation, l'utilisateur agit pour écarter l'élément de maintien, de sorte que ce dernier ne se trouve plus entre la surface de retenue et la partie du cadre. De préférence, l'élément de maintien est monté sur des moyens élastiques qui le maintiennent en position. Encore de préférence, l'opérateur doit actionner lesdits moyens élastiques pour pouvoir détacher le second organe de fixation. Preferably, in order to detach the second fixing member from the first fixing member, the user acts to move the holding element away, so that the latter is no longer between the restraint and part of the frame. Preferably, the holding element is mounted on elastic means which hold it in position. Still preferably, the operator must actuate said elastic means to be able to detach the second fastener.
Avantageusement, le second organe de fixation comporte en outre une portion d'actionnement reliée à l'élément de maintien et configurée pour dégager radialement l'élément de maintien de la surface de retenue lorsqu'une pression dirigée vers l'axe du corps est exercée sur la portion d'actionnement.  Advantageously, the second fixing member further comprises an actuating portion connected to the holding element and configured to radially disengage the holding element from the retaining surface when a pressure directed towards the axis of the body is exerted. on the actuating portion.
II suffit donc à l'utilisateur d'exercer une pression sur la portion d'actionnement pour déverrouiller le second organe de fixation.  It is therefore sufficient for the user to exert pressure on the actuating portion to unlock the second fastener.
De préférence, l'élément de maintien fait saillie dans le logement. De manière avantageuse, lorsque le second organe de fixation est verrouillé au premier organe de fixation, le second organe de fixation peut néanmoins pivoter par rapport au premier organe de fixation. En d'autres termes, dans ce cas, le verrouillage du second organe de fixation par rapport au premier organe de fixation est un verrouillage uniquement axial, ce qui signifie que l'élément de maintien, en position verrouillée et en l'absence d'action spécifique de la part de l'utilisateur, s'oppose au retrait du second organe de fixation. Bien évidemment, un léger jeu axial pourra exister entre le second organe de fixation et le premier organe de fixation.  Preferably, the holding member protrudes into the housing. Advantageously, when the second fastener is locked to the first fastener, the second fastener may nevertheless pivot relative to the first fastener. In other words, in this case, the locking of the second fastener relative to the first fastening member is a solely axial locking, which means that the holding member, in the locked position and in the absence of specific action on the part of the user, opposes the removal of the second fastener. Of course, a slight axial clearance may exist between the second fastener and the first fastener.
Avantageusement, la surface de retenue constitue un épaulement formée sur la portion de retenue du premier organe de fixation.  Advantageously, the retaining surface constitutes a shoulder formed on the retaining portion of the first fixing member.
On comprend que le verrouillage axial est obtenu par le fait que l'élément de maintien vient en butée contre l'épaulement lorsqu'une traction axiale est exercée sur le second organe de fixation.  It is understood that the axial locking is obtained in that the holding member abuts against the shoulder when axial traction is exerted on the second fixing member.
De préférence, la portion de retenue présente une forme générale tronconique et le corps présente une forme générale cylindrique ; le diamètre maximal de la portion de retenue étant supérieur au diamètre du corps.  Preferably, the retaining portion has a generally frustoconical shape and the body has a generally cylindrical shape; the maximum diameter of the retaining portion being greater than the diameter of the body.
De préférence, l'élément de maintien est un ergot présentant une face inclinée destinée à coopérer avec la portion de retenue afin de faciliter l'engagement du second organe de fixation sur le premier organe de fixation. Avantageusement, le corps comporte une gorge, et l'élément de maintien est agencé pour venir se loger dans la gorge lorsque le second organe de fixation est engagé avec le premier organe de fixation. Preferably, the holding element is a lug having an inclined face intended to cooperate with the retaining portion to facilitate engagement of the second fastener member on the first fastener. Advantageously, the body comprises a groove, and the holding member is arranged to be housed in the groove when the second fastener is engaged with the first fastener.
On comprend que la surface de retenue est constituée par la surface latérale de la gorge qui est tournée vers la partie du cadre. Là- encore, le verrouillage axial est obtenu par le fait que l'élément de maintien vient en butée contre cette surface latérale de la gorge lorsqu'une traction axiale est exercée sur le second organe de fixation.  It is understood that the retaining surface is constituted by the lateral surface of the groove which is turned towards the part of the frame. Here again, the axial locking is obtained by the fact that the holding element abuts against this lateral surface of the groove when axial traction is exerted on the second fixing member.
De manière avantageuse, le premier organe de fixation présente une géométrie de révolution autour de l'axe du corps du premier organe de fixation. Préférentiellement, mais pas exclusivement, le corps présente une forme cylindrique, grâce à quoi le second organe de fixation peut facilement pivoter par rapport au premier organe de fixation.  Advantageously, the first fastener has a geometry of revolution about the axis of the body of the first fastener. Preferably, but not exclusively, the body has a cylindrical shape, whereby the second fastener can easily pivot relative to the first fastener.
Un intérêt est de pouvoir ajuster le positionnement de l'élément de maintien. Un autre intérêt est de pouvoir ajuster aisément la position de l'accessoire par rapport au cadre.  An interest is to be able to adjust the positioning of the holding element. Another advantage is to be able to easily adjust the position of the accessory relative to the frame.
Pour sa fixation au cadre de cycle, le premier organe de fixation comprend préférentiellement un perçage, qui débouche axialement de part et d'autre du premier organe de fixation, et le premier organe de fixation comporte en outre une pièce de verrouillage s'étendant dans le perçage afin de solidariser le premier organe de fixation au cadre.  For fixing it to the cycle frame, the first fixing member preferably comprises a bore, which opens out axially on either side of the first fixing member, and the first fixing member further comprises a locking piece extending into drilling to secure the first fastener to the frame.
De préférence, la pièce de verrouillage est une vis ayant une tête de vis, et le perçage présente une première cavité, ménagée au moins en partie dans la portion de retenue, qui est destinée à recevoir la tête de vis.  Preferably, the locking piece is a screw having a screw head, and the bore has a first cavity, formed at least partly in the retaining portion, which is intended to receive the screw head.
La vis comporte en outre une portion filetée qui est destinée à coopérer avec un taraudage formé dans la partie du cadre.  The screw further comprises a threaded portion which is intended to cooperate with a tapping formed in the part of the frame.
Pour faciliter l'engagement du second organe de fixation avec le premier organe de fixation, la portion de retenue présente une surface inclinée qui s'étend autour de l'axe du corps du premier organe de fixation.  To facilitate engagement of the second fastener with the first fastener, the retainer portion has an inclined surface that extends about the body axis of the first fastener.
Par surface inclinée, on entend une surface biseautée, ou une surface bombée, concave ou convexe. Par ailleurs, cette surface inclinée peut être continue ou discontinue.  By inclined surface is meant a beveled surface, or a curved, concave or convex surface. Moreover, this inclined surface can be continuous or discontinuous.
Cette surface inclinée permet d'écarter progressivement l'élément de maintien pendant l'engagement du second organe de fixation sur le premier organe de fixation. Pour ce faire, l'élément de maintien est de préférence déformable élastiquement, ou bien monté sur un support déformable élastiquement, ou bien monté sur un support déformable élastiquement. This inclined surface makes it possible to gradually remove the holding element during the engagement of the second fastener member on the first fastener. To do this, the holding element is preferably elastically deformable, or mounted on an elastically deformable support, or mounted on an elastically deformable support.
De préférence, la portion de retenue présente une forme conique ou tronconique.  Preferably, the retaining portion has a conical or frustoconical shape.
Avantageusement, le logement comprend une paroi périphérique, et l'élément de maintien fait saillie radialement depuis une surface intérieure de ladite paroi périphérique.  Advantageously, the housing comprises a peripheral wall, and the holding element protrudes radially from an inner surface of said peripheral wall.
Ainsi, lors de l'engagement du second organe de fixation, l'élément de maintien se rétracte radialement au passage de la portion de retenue puis se déploie radialement vers l'axe afin de venir se loger entre la partie de cadre et la surface de retenue. Ce mouvement radial peut éventuellement être associé à un mouvement de pivotement de l'élément de maintien selon un axe perpendiculaire à la direction d'engagement.  Thus, during the engagement of the second fixing member, the holding member retracts radially to the passage of the retaining portion and then extends radially towards the axis so as to be housed between the frame portion and the surface of the detention. This radial movement may optionally be associated with a pivoting movement of the holding element along an axis perpendicular to the direction of engagement.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, le second organe de fixation comporte une base et une pluralité d'ailes s'étendant angulairement depuis ladite base, de façon que les ailes entourent la portion de retenue lorsque le second organe de fixation est engagé avec premier organe de fixation ; et au moins l'une des ailes porte ledit élément de maintien.  According to a first embodiment of the invention, the second fixing member comprises a base and a plurality of wings extending angularly from said base, so that the wings surround the retaining portion when the second fixing member is engaged with first fastener; and at least one of the wings carries said holding member.
Ces ailes font saillie depuis le pourtour de la base et définissent ensemble le logement.  These wings project from the periphery of the base and together define the housing.
Avantageusement, chaque aile porte un élément de maintien agencé pour venir se positionner entre la surface de retenue et la partie du cadre lorsque le second organe de fixation est engagé avec premier organe de fixation, afin que ladite aile soit retenue axialement par la portion de retenue.  Advantageously, each wing carries a holding element arranged to be positioned between the retaining surface and the part of the frame when the second fastener is engaged with the first fastener, so that said wing is retained axially by the retaining portion. .
Avantageusement, au moins l'une des ailes est élastiquement déformable de manière à pouvoir engager, et de manière détachable, le second organe de fixation avec le premier organe de fixation ; ladite aile élastiquement déformable comporte une première extrémité, opposée à la base, qui porte l'élément de maintien de ladite aile élastiquement déformable.  Advantageously, at least one of the wings is elastically deformable so as to engage, and detachably, the second fastener with the first fastener; said elastically deformable flange comprises a first end, opposite to the base, which carries the holding element of said elastically deformable flange.
De préférence, une seule des ailes est déformable élastiquement, l'autre ou les autres ailes étant rigides. Pour faciliter la déformation de l'aile déformable élastiquement lors du retrait du second organe de fixation, l'aile élastiquement déformable comporte en outre une portion d'actionnement qui s'étend depuis la première extrémité de l'aile élastiquement déformable en s'éloignant de la partie du cadre. Le retrait du second organe de fixation est réalisé en exerçant une pression sur la portion d'actionnement dirigée selon une direction orthogonale à la direction d'engagement. Cela a pour effet de faire pivoter l'aile déformable élastiquement, et de déplacer l'élément de maintien jusqu'à ce que ce dernier ne se trouve plus entre la surface de retenue et la partie du cadre. Le second organe de fixation peut alors être découplé et retiré du premier organe de fixation. Preferably, only one of the wings is elastically deformable, the other or the other wings being rigid. To facilitate the deformation of the resiliently deformable wing during the removal of the second fastener, the elastically deformable flange further comprises an actuating portion which extends from the first end of the elastically deformable flange away from part of the frame. The removal of the second fastener is achieved by exerting pressure on the actuating portion directed in a direction orthogonal to the direction of engagement. This has the effect of pivoting the elastically deformable wing, and move the holding member until it is no longer between the retaining surface and the part of the frame. The second fastener can then be decoupled and removed from the first fastener.
Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, le second organe de fixation comporte au moins une aile rigide qui est disposée en regard de l'aile élastiquement déformable.  According to a preferred embodiment, the second fixing member comprises at least one rigid wing which is arranged facing the elastically deformable wing.
Avantageusement, l'aile rigide porte un autre élément de maintien qui est disposé en regard de l'élément de maintien de l'aile élastiquement déformable, de façon que, lorsque le second organe de fixation est engagé avec premier organe de fixation, les éléments de maintien de l'aile élastiquement déformable et de l'aile rigide sont positionnés entre la surface de retenue et la partie du cadre, grâce à quoi le second organe de fixation est verrouillé avec le premier organe de fixation.  Advantageously, the rigid wing carries another holding element which is arranged opposite the holding element of the elastically deformable wing, so that, when the second fixing member is engaged with the first fixing member, the elements for holding the elastically deformable flange and the rigid flange are positioned between the retaining surface and the part of the frame, whereby the second fastener is locked with the first fastener.
De préférence, mais pas exclusivement, le second organe de fixation comporte une seule aile rigide et une seule aile élastiquement déformable.  Preferably, but not exclusively, the second fixing member comprises a single rigid wing and a single elastically deformable wing.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le second organe de fixation comprend une paroi périphérique, et l'élément de maintien est relié à une lame souple qui est déformable élastiquement, ladite lame souple prenant appui sur la paroi périphérique.  According to another embodiment, the second fixing member comprises a peripheral wall, and the holding element is connected to a flexible blade which is elastically deformable, said flexible blade bearing on the peripheral wall.
La lame souple exerce une force sur l'élément de maintien qui est orientée de telle sorte que ledit élément de maintien est amené entre la partie du cadre et la surface de retenue.  The flexible blade exerts a force on the holding member which is oriented such that said holding member is brought between the frame portion and the retaining surface.
Pour détacher le second organe de fixation, l'utilisateur exerce de préférence une force sur la lame souple de manière à la déformer, ce qui a pour effet d'écarter l'élément de maintien.  To detach the second fastener, the user preferably exerts a force on the flexible blade so as to deform, which has the effect of spreading the holding member.
Avantageusement, le second organe de fixation comporte en outre une portion d'actionnement qui comprend un bouton poussoir relié à l'élément de maintien, le bouton poussoir traversant la paroi périphérique tout en étant déplaçable selon une direction diamétrale de la paroi périphérique, et la lame souple prend appui sur une partie de la paroi périphérique qui est opposée au bouton poussoir, grâce à quoi une pression sur le bouton poussoir permet de dégager radialement l'élément de maintien de la surface de retenue. Advantageously, the second fixing member further comprises an actuating portion which comprises a push button connected to the holding element, the push button traversing the peripheral wall while being movable in a diametrical direction of the peripheral wall, and the flexible blade bears on a portion of the peripheral wall which is opposite the push button, whereby a pressure on the push button radially disengages the retaining element from the retaining surface.
Ainsi, pour détacher le second organe de fixation, il convient d'exercer une pression sur le bouton poussoir, ce qui a pour effet de déformer la lame souple et de dégager l'élément de maintien de sorte que ce dernier ne s'oppose plus au retrait axial du second organe de fixation.  Thus, to detach the second fastener, it is appropriate to exert pressure on the push button, which has the effect of deforming the flexible blade and to release the holding element so that it no longer opposes axial removal of the second fastener.
L'invention porte également sur un ensemble comportant un accessoire et un cadre de cycle selon l'invention, le second organe de fixation étant fixé à l'accessoire.  The invention also relates to an assembly comprising an accessory and a cycle frame according to the invention, the second fixing member being attached to the accessory.
De préférence, le second organe de fixation est monté rotatif à l'accessoire. Un intérêt est de pouvoir ajuster la position du second organe de fixation lors de sa fixation au cadre, par exemple pour amener l'aile élastiquement déformable ou bien le bouton poussoir dans une position plus facilement accessible pour l'utilisateur.  Preferably, the second fastener is rotatably mounted to the accessory. An interest is to be able to adjust the position of the second fastener when attached to the frame, for example to bring the elastically deformable wing or the push button in a position more easily accessible to the user.
L'invention porte enfin sur un vélo qui comporte un cadre de cycle selon l'invention, ainsi qu'une paire de roues montées sur le cadre de cycle.  Finally, the invention relates to a bicycle which comprises a cycle frame according to the invention, and a pair of wheels mounted on the cycle frame.

Sur la figure 1 on a représenté un exemple de vélo 10 conforme à l'invention, qui comporte un cadre de cycle 12 ainsi qu'une paire de roues 14,16 montées sur le cadre de cycle 12.  FIG. 1 shows an example of a bicycle 10 according to the invention, which comprises a cycle frame 12 and a pair of wheels 14, 16 mounted on the cycle frame 12.
Le vélo 10 comporte en outre un accessoire 18, en l'espèce un garde-boue, qui est fixé au cadre de cycle. La référence E correspond à l'ensemble constitué de l'accessoire 18 et du cadre de cycle 12.  The bicycle 10 further comprises an accessory 18, in this case a fender, which is attached to the cycle frame. The reference E corresponds to the assembly consisting of the accessory 18 and the cycle frame 12.
L'accessoire 18 est fixé au cadre de cycle de manière détachable par le biais d'au moins un élément de fixation 100 qui va être décrit plus en détails ci-après.  The accessory 18 is attached to the cycle frame detachably through at least one attachment member 100 which will be described in more detail below.
L'élément de fixation comporte un support 20 qui est relié à l'accessoire 18 par le biais de tiges 22.  The fixing element comprises a support 20 which is connected to the accessory 18 by means of rods 22.
A l'aide des figures 2A à 2E, on va décrire plus en détails l'élément de fixation 100.  With the help of FIGS. 2A to 2E, the fixing element 100 will be described in more detail.
Dans le premier mode de réalisation illustré aux figures 2A à 2E, l'élément de fixation 100 comprend un premier organe de fixation 200 qui est solidaire d'une partie 12a du cadre de cycle 12. Dans cet exemple, la partie du cadre de cycle est celle qui supporte la roue arrière du vélo. Bien entendu, sans sortir du périmètre de la présente invention, le premier organe de fixation pourrait être disposé à un autre endroit du cadre de cycle. Dans cet exemple, le premier organe de fixation 200 est fixé à la partie du cadre 12a par l'intermédiaire d'une vis 202. Pour ce faire, le premier organe de fixation 200 comprend un perçage 204 qui débouche axialement de part et d'autre du premier organe de fixation, la vis 202 formant une pièce de verrouillage, s'étendant dans le perçage 204 afin de solidariser le premier organe de fixation 200 à un taraudage formé dans la partie du cadre. In the first embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 2A to 2E, the fixing element 100 comprises a first fixing member 200 which is integral with a portion 12a of the cycle frame 12. In this example, the part of the cycle frame is the one that supports the rear wheel of the bike. Of course, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the first fastener could be disposed at another location of the cycle frame. In this example, the first fastening member 200 is fixed to the part of the frame 12a by means of a screw 202. To do this, the first fastening member 200 comprises a hole 204 which opens axially on both sides. another of the first fastener, the screw 202 forming a locking piece, extending into the bore 204 to secure the first fastener 200 to a thread formed in the part of the frame.
Le premier organe de fixation 200 comprend un corps cylindrique 206 qui s'étend selon un axe A qui est transversal à la partie du cadre. Dans cet exemple, l'axe A est perpendiculaire à la partie du cadre 12a. Sans sortir du périmètre de la présente invention, cet axe A pourrait être incliné par rapport à la partie du cadre.  The first fastener 200 comprises a cylindrical body 206 which extends along an axis A which is transverse to the part of the frame. In this example, the axis A is perpendicular to the portion of the frame 12a. Without departing from the scope of the present invention, this axis A could be inclined relative to the part of the frame.
Le premier organe de fixation 200 comporte en outre une portion de retenue 208 qui est disposée à une extrémité 206a du corps qui est distante de la partie du cadre.  The first fixing member 200 further comprises a retaining portion 208 which is disposed at an end 206a of the body which is remote from the part of the frame.
Comme on le constate sur ces figures, la portion de retenue présente une surface inclinée 208a qui s'étend autour de l'axe A du corps du premier organe de fixation.  As seen in these figures, the retaining portion has an inclined surface 208a which extends around the axis A of the body of the first fastener.
Plus généralement, on constate que le premier organe de fixation 200 présente une géométrie de révolution autour de l'axe A du corps du premier organe de fixation 200.  More generally, it can be seen that the first fixing member 200 has a geometry of revolution about the axis A of the body of the first fixing member 200.
Lorsque le second organe de fixation 300 est engagé avec le premier organe de fixation, ledit second organe de fixation est bloqué axialement, tout en pouvant éventuellement tourner sur lui-même.  When the second fastener 300 is engaged with the first fastener, said second fastener is axially locked, while possibly rotating on itself.
En se référant plus particulièrement aux figures 2A et 2E, on constate que la portion de retenue présente une forme généralement tronconique. Comme on le constate sur les figures 2A et 2E, la portion de retenue 208 présente un diamètre maximal qui est supérieur au diamètre du corps 206, de sorte que la portion de retenue présente un épaulement 210. Dans cet exemple, l'épaulement 210 s'étend annulairement autour de l'axe A.  Referring more particularly to Figures 2A and 2E, it is found that the retaining portion has a generally frustoconical shape. As can be seen in FIGS. 2A and 2E, the retaining portion 208 has a maximum diameter that is greater than the diameter of the body 206, so that the retaining portion has a shoulder 210. In this example, the shoulder 210 s extends annularly around the axis A.
Cet épaulement 210 forme une surface de retenue 210 qui est tournée vers la partie du cadre 12a.  This shoulder 210 forms a retaining surface 210 which is turned towards the part of the frame 12a.
Dans cet exemple, la hauteur radiale de la surface de retenue 210 est de l'ordre de 2,5 mm. En se référant à la figure 2E, on constate que le perçage 204 comprend une première cavité 204a qui est ménagée au moins en partie dans la portion de retenue, et qui est destinée à recevoir la tête de vis 202a de la vis 202. In this example, the radial height of the retaining surface 210 is of the order of 2.5 mm. Referring to FIG. 2E, it can be seen that the bore 204 comprises a first cavity 204a which is formed at least partly in the retaining portion, and which is intended to receive the screw head 202a of the screw 202.
Dans cet exemple, la surface inclinée 208a de la portion de retenue est continue et plane, mais elle pourrait être légèrement bombée.  In this example, the inclined surface 208a of the retaining portion is continuous and flat, but it could be slightly curved.
Conformément à l'invention, l'élément de fixation 100 comporte en outre un second organe de fixation 300 qui est agencé pour venir s'engager, de manière détachable, avec le premier organe de fixation 200. Comme on le comprend à l'aide de la figure 2A, l'engagement du second organe de fixation sur le premier organe de fixation se fait selon une direction d'engagement D qui est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe A du corps. Plus précisément, dans cet exemple, la direction d'engagement D et sensiblement confondue avec l'axe A du corps.  According to the invention, the fastening element 100 further comprises a second fastener 300 which is arranged to detachably engage with the first fastener 200. As can be understood by using of Figure 2A, the engagement of the second fastener on the first fastener is in a direction of engagement D which is substantially parallel to the axis A of the body. More precisely, in this example, the engagement direction D and substantially coincides with the axis A of the body.
Sur les figures 2B et 2C on a représenté le second organe de fixation 300 engagé avec le premier organe de fixation 200.  FIGS. 2B and 2C show the second fixing member 300 engaged with the first fixing member 200.
Selon un aspect avantageux de l'invention, le second organe de fixation 300 peut être détaché du premier organe de fixation 200. C'est ce qui a été illustré sur la figure 2D.  According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, the second fastening member 300 can be detached from the first fastening member 200. This has been illustrated in FIG. 2D.
En se référant à nouveau à la figure 2D, on constate que le second organe de fixation 300 présente un logement 302 qui est configuré pour recevoir la portion de retenue 208 du premier organe de fixation 200 lorsque le second organe de fixation est engagé avec le premier organe de fixation.  Referring again to FIG. 2D, it can be seen that the second fastener 300 has a housing 302 which is configured to receive the retaining portion 208 of the first fastener 200 when the second fastener is engaged with the first fastener fastener.
Une fois engagé sur le premier organe de fixation, le second organe de fixation 300 reste engagé avec le premier organe de fixation grâce au fait que le second organe de fixation comprend plusieurs éléments de maintien 304a qui font saillie radialement dans le logement 302.  Once engaged on the first fastener, the second fastener 300 remains engaged with the first fastener due to the fact that the second fastener comprises a plurality of retaining elements 304a which project radially into the housing 302.
Comme on le comprend à l'aide de la figure 2C, les éléments de maintien 304 sont agencés pour venir se positionner entre la surface de retenue 210 et la partie du cadre 12a lorsque le second organe de fixation est engagé avec le premier organe de fixation, ce qui permet de verrouiller le second organe de fixation avec le premier organe de fixation. En effet, les éléments de maintien 304 s'opposent au retrait axial du second organe de fixation par rapport au premier organe de fixation en venant en butée contre la surface de retenue. On comprend que le second organe de fixation se déforme élastiquement pour permettre le passage des éléments de maintien derrière la portion de retenue. As can be understood from FIG. 2C, the holding elements 304 are arranged to be positioned between the retaining surface 210 and the part of the frame 12a when the second fastening member is engaged with the first fastening member. , which makes it possible to lock the second fastener with the first fastener. Indeed, the holding elements 304 oppose the axial withdrawal of the second fastener relative to the first fastener by abutting against the retaining surface. It is understood that the second fixing member is deformed elastically to allow the passage of the holding elements behind the retaining portion.
En se référant maintenant à la figure 2E, qui illustre en vue éclatée les premier et second organes de fixation, on constate que le second organe de fixation 300 présente une base 310 qui est munie d'une ouverture 312 pour son montage à l'accessoire 18. L'ouverture 312 présente un axe B qui est sensiblement coaxial à l'axe A du corps lorsque le second organe de fixation 300 est assemblé au premier organe de fixation 200. Plus spécifiquement, le second organe de fixation présente une géométrie de révolution autour de l'axe B.  Referring now to Figure 2E, which illustrates in an exploded view the first and second fasteners, it is found that the second fastener 300 has a base 310 which is provided with an opening 312 for mounting accessory 18. The opening 312 has an axis B which is substantially coaxial with the axis A of the body when the second fixing member 300 is assembled to the first fixing member 200. More specifically, the second fixing member has a geometry of revolution. around the B axis.
De cette base 310 s'étendent angulairement une première aile 314 et une seconde aile 316.  From this base 310 extend angularly a first wing 314 and a second wing 316.
Comme on le comprend à l'aide des figures 2b et 2c, les première et seconde ailes 314, 316 entourent la portion de retenue 208 du premier organe de fixation lorsque le second organe de fixation 300 est engagé avec le premier organe de fixation 200. Chaque aile, 314, 316 porte en son extrémité un élément de maintien 304,304a qui vient se positionner entre la surface de retenue 210 et la partie du cadre 12a lorsque le second organe de fixation est engagé avec le premier organe de fixation. Chacune des ailes est donc retenue axialement par la portion de retenue.  As can be understood from FIGS. 2b and 2c, the first and second wings 314, 316 surround the retaining portion 208 of the first fastener when the second fastener 300 is engaged with the first fastener 200. Each wing 314, 316 carries at its end a retaining element 304,304a which is positioned between the retaining surface 210 and the portion of the frame 12a when the second fastener is engaged with the first fastener. Each of the wings is thus retained axially by the retaining portion.
Dans cet exemple, les éléments de maintien 304,304a sont des ergots qui font saillie radialement dans le logement depuis les extrémités des ailes vers l'axe B.  In this example, the retaining elements 304, 304a are lugs which protrude radially in the housing from the ends of the wings towards the axis B.
La seconde aile 316 est élastiquement déformable de manière à pouvoir engager, de manière détachable, le second organe de fixation avec le premier organe de fixation. On comprend donc que lorsque l'élément de maintien 304a, qui est disposé à une première extrémité 316a de l'aile élastiquement déformable 316 opposée à la base, vient en contact de la surface inclinée 208a de la portion de retenue, ledit élément de maintien est éloigné radialement de l'axe B par une déformation élastique de l'aile 316 puis est ramené vers l'axe B une fois que l'élément de maintien affranchit axialement l'épaulement.  The second flange 316 is elastically deformable so as to detachably engage the second fastener with the first fastener. It is therefore understood that when the retaining element 304a, which is disposed at a first end 316a of the resiliently deformable flange 316 opposite the base, comes into contact with the inclined surface 208a of the retaining portion, said retaining element is radially away from the axis B by elastic deformation of the wing 316 and is returned to the axis B once the holding element axially frees the shoulder.
Dans cet exemple, la première aile 314 du second organe de fixation 300 est rigide. En d'autres termes elle ne se déforme pas lorsque le second organe de fixation vient au contact du premier organe de fixation. In this example, the first flange 314 of the second fastener 300 is rigid. In other words, it does not deform when the second fastener comes into contact with the first fastener.
Dans cet exemple, la première aile 314 s'étend sur environ 180°, tandis que la seconde aile 316 présente une envergure angulaire d'environ 30°.  In this example, the first wing 314 extends over about 180 °, while the second wing 316 has an angular span of about 30 °.
En se référant à la figure 2D, on constate que l'élément de maintien 304 de la première aile, l'aile rigide 314, est disposé en regard de l'élément de maintien 304a de l'aile élastiquement déformable 316, de façon que, lorsque le second organe de fixation est engagé avec le premier organe de fixation, les éléments de maintien 304, 304a de l'aile élastiquement déformable 316 et de l'aile rigide 314 sont positionnés entre la surface de retenue 210 et la partie du cadre 12a, grâce à quoi le second organe de fixation est verrouillé axialement avec le premier organe de fixation.  Referring to FIG. 2D, it can be seen that the holding element 304 of the first wing, the rigid wing 314, is arranged facing the holding element 304a of the elastically deformable wing 316, so that when the second fastening member is engaged with the first fastening member, the holding members 304, 304a of the elastically deformable flange 316 and the rigid flange 314 are positioned between the retaining surface 210 and the frame portion. 12a, whereby the second fastener is axially locked with the first fastener.
Sur les figures 3A et 3B, on a illustré une variante de l'élément de fixation 100. Cette variante se distingue du mode de réalisation des figures 2a à 2e, par le fait que l'aile élastiquement déformable 316 comporte en outre une portion d'actionnement 320 qui s'étend depuis la première extrémité 316a de l'aile élastiquement déformable 316 en s'éloignant de la partie du cadre 12a. Cette portion d'actionnement s'étend donc sur une direction sensiblement parallèle à l'axe B de la base 310. Lorsqu'on exerce une force F, orientée perpendiculairement à l'axe de la base, sur cette portion d'actionnement, l'aile élastiquement déformable 316 se déforme légèrement en pivotant ce qui a pour effet d'écarter les éléments de maintien 304,304a l'un de l'autre. La distance entre l'élément de maintien 304a de l'aile élastiquement déformable 316 et l'élément de maintien 34 de l'aile rigide 314 augmente ; grâce à quoi on peut détacher le second organe de fixation du premier organe de fixation, comme cela est illustré sur la figure 3B.  FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate a variant of the fastening element 100. This variant differs from the embodiment of FIGS. 2a to 2e in that the elastically deformable flange 316 further comprises a portion of actuation 320 which extends from the first end 316a of the elastically deformable wing 316 away from the portion of the frame 12a. This actuating portion therefore extends in a direction substantially parallel to the axis B of the base 310. When a force F, oriented perpendicular to the axis of the base, is exerted on this actuating portion, elastically deformable wing 316 is slightly deformed by pivoting which has the effect of spreading the holding elements 304,304a one of the other. The distance between the holding member 304a of the elastically deformable wing 316 and the holding member 34 of the rigid wing 314 increases; whereby it is possible to detach the second fastener from the first fastener, as shown in Figure 3B.
On comprend donc que la portion d'actionnement 320 est reliée à l'élément de maintien et configurée pour dégager radialement l'élément de maintien de la surface de retenue lorsqu'une pression dirigée vers l'axe du corps est exercée sur la portion d'actionnement.  It is therefore understood that the actuating portion 320 is connected to the holding member and configured to radially disengage the retaining element from the retaining surface when a pressure directed towards the axis of the body is exerted on the portion of the retaining portion. actuation.
A l'aide des figures 4A et 4B, on va maintenant décrit un second mode de réalisation de l'élément de fixation 100' du cadre de cycle 12. L'élément de fixation 100' est également configuré pour attacher de manière détachable un accessoire au cadre du vélo. Dans ce second mode de réalisation, l'élément de fixation 100' comporte un premier organe de fixation 200' qui comporte un corps cylindrique 206' dans lequel est formée une gorge 205'. Le premier organe de fixation 200' comporte également une portion de retenue 208' présentant, là-encore, une forme tronçon ique. With the aid of FIGS. 4A and 4B, a second embodiment of the fastening element 100 'of the cycle frame 12 will now be described. The fastening element 100' is also configured for attaching detachable way an accessory to the frame of the bike. In this second embodiment, the fixing element 100 'comprises a first fixing member 200' which comprises a cylindrical body 206 'in which a groove 205' is formed. The first fastener 200 'also has a retaining portion 208' again having a sectional shape.
De manière similaire au premier mode de réalisation, le premier organe de fixation 200' est monté à la partie du cadre à l'aide d'une pièce de verrouillage constituée d'une vis.  Similarly to the first embodiment, the first fastener 200 'is mounted to the part of the frame by means of a locking piece consisting of a screw.
La portion de retenue 208' comporte également une surface de retenue 210' qui est constituée par la paroi latérale de la gorge tournée vers la partie du cadre 12a.  The retaining portion 208 'also has a retaining surface 210' which is constituted by the side wall of the groove facing the portion of the frame 12a.
L'élément de fixation 100' comporte en outre un second organe de fixation 300', agencé pour venir s'engager avec le premier organe de fixation 200' selon une direction d'engagement sensiblement coaxiale à l'axe A du premier organe de fixation. Le second organe de fixation 300' présente en outre un logement 302' qui comprend une paroi périphérique 303' de géométrie cylindrique d'axe B.  The fixing element 100 'further comprises a second fixing member 300', arranged to engage with the first fixing member 200 'in a direction of engagement substantially coaxial with the axis A of the first fixing member . The second fastener 300 'further has a housing 302' which comprises a peripheral wall 303 'of cylindrical geometry of axis B.
Le second organe de fixation 300' comprend en outre des éléments de maintien 304' et 304'a qui font saillie radialement dans le logement 302' depuis la paroi périphérique 303'. Ces éléments de maintien 304', 304'a sont agencés pour venir se positionner dans la gorge 205' lorsque le second organe de fixation est engagé avec le premier organe de fixation de sorte que les éléments de maintien se trouvent entre la surface de retenue 210' et la partie du cadre.  The second fixing member 300 'further comprises holding elements 304' and 304'a which project radially into the housing 302 'from the peripheral wall 303'. These holding elements 304 ', 304'a are arranged to be positioned in the groove 205' when the second fastener is engaged with the first fastener so that the holding elements are between the retaining surface 210 'and the part of the frame.
Cela permet de verrouiller axialement le second organe de fixation avec le premier organe de fixation.  This allows axially locking the second fastener with the first fastener.
Grâce aux géométries cylindriques, on comprend que le second organe de fixation peut pivoter autour de l'axe A par rapport au premier organe de fixation.  Thanks to the cylindrical geometries, it is understood that the second fixing member is pivotable about the axis A relative to the first fixing member.
Dans cet exemple, l'un des éléments de maintien 304'a présente une certaine élasticité ce qui permet de pouvoir détacher le second organe de fixation du premier organe de fixation.  In this example, one of the holding elements 304 'has a certain elasticity which allows to be able to detach the second fastener of the first fastener.
Les figures 5A, 5C décrivent des variantes du second organe de fixation 300", 300"',300"" dans lesquelles les éléments de maintien sont reliés à des lames souples et prennent appui sur la paroi périphérique. Le second organe de fixation 300", 300"', 300"" comporte par ailleurs un une portion d'actionnement comprenant un bouton poussoir 309", 309"', 309"" relié à l'élément de maintien 304", 304"',304"" , qui traverse la paroi périphérique tout en étant déplaçable selon une direction diamétrale X de la paroi périphérique, tandis que la lame souple prend appui sur une partie de la paroi périphérique opposée au bouton poussoir, grâce à quoi une pression sur le bouton poussoir permet de déformer la lame souple. Cela a pour effet de dégager l'élément de maintien radialement de la surface de retenue du premier organe de fixation, grâce à quoi on peut retirer le second organe de fixation du premier organe de fixation. On comprend donc que la portion d'actionnement 309", 309"', 309"" est reliée à l'élément de maintien et configurée pour dégager radialement l'élément de maintien de la surface de retenue lorsqu'une pression dirigée vers l'axe du corps est exercée sur la portion d'actionnement. FIGS. 5A and 5C describe variants of the second fixing member 300 ", 300"', 300 "" in which the holding elements are connected to flexible blades and rest on the peripheral wall. The second fastening member 300 ", 300"', 300 "" further comprises an actuating portion comprising a push button 309 ", 309"', 309 "" connected to the holding member 304 ", 304"' 304 "", which passes through the peripheral wall while being movable in a diametral direction X of the peripheral wall, while the flexible blade is supported on a portion of the peripheral wall opposite the push button, whereby pressure on the push button allows to deform the flexible blade. This has the effect of releasing the retaining element radially from the retaining surface of the first fastener, whereby we can remove the second fastener of the first fastener. It is therefore understood that the actuating portion 309 ", 309"', 309 "" is connected to the holding member and configured to radially disengage the retaining member from the retaining surface when a pressure directed towards the body axis is exerted on the actuating portion.
