Description

Moyen de locomotion permettant de marcher ou de courir avec un poids inférieur au propre poids du corps.Means of locomotion allowing walking or running with less weight than the body's own weight.

La présente invention est un moyen de locomotion ((Fig. 1) et (Fig. 2)) qui permet de marcher ou de courir avec un poids inférieur à son propre poids du corps dans les montées ou sur du plat (Fig. 3) et de rouler dans les descentes grâce à deux repose-pieds (Fig. 4).The present invention is a means of locomotion ((Fig. 1) and (Fig. 2)) which makes it possible to walk or run with a weight less than one's own body weight on climbs or on flat ground (Fig. 3) and roll downhill thanks to two footrests (Fig. 4).

A la différence d’une draisienne à trois roues classique, celui-ci est dépourvu de selle et de barre entre les jambes qui empêchent de marcher ou courir naturellement.Unlike a classic three-wheeled balance bike, this one has no saddle and bar between the legs that prevent you from walking or running naturally.

L’utilisateur est donc debout (Fig. 3), suspendu à un harnais élastique qui est fixé à une barre horizontale, elle-même supportée par deux montants coulissants chacun dans une fourche d’une roue arrière (3). Une partie du poids du corps de l’utilisateur est donc supportée par les 3 roues donc va rouler au lieu d’être portée, soulageant ainsi ses articulations de plus de 12 kg soit environ 16 % de son poids (Fig. 5). Ces deux photos montrent la différence de masse avant et après être accroché au moyen de locomotion.The user is therefore standing (Fig. 3), suspended from an elastic harness which is fixed to a horizontal bar, itself supported by two uprights each sliding in a fork of a rear wheel (3). Part of the weight of the user's body is therefore supported by the 3 wheels and will therefore roll instead of being carried, thus relieving their joints of more than 12 kg or approximately 16% of their weight (Fig. 5). These two photos show the difference in mass before and after being hooked by means of locomotion.

Le moyen de locomotion (Fig. 1) et (Fig. 2) est composé d’une roue 14 pouces à l’avant (1) dirigée par un guidon (2) et de deux roues parallèles 12 pouces à l’arrière (3) entre lesquelles l’utilisateur va se mouvoir. Ce véhicule est donc stable, même à l’arrêt. Ses dimensions sont de 120 cm de long par 90 cm de large et 184 cm de haut avec un écart, entre les deux repose-pieds (16), de 61 cm, permettant de ne pas être gêné lors des virages (Fig. 6).The means of locomotion (Fig. 1) and (Fig. 2) is composed of a 14-inch wheel at the front (1) steered by a handlebar (2) and two 12-inch parallel wheels at the rear (3 ) between which the user will move. This vehicle is therefore stable, even when stationary. Its dimensions are 120 cm long by 90 cm wide and 184 cm high with a gap, between the two footrests (16), of 61 cm, allowing it not to be hampered when turning (Fig. 6) .

Un tube coudé (4) (Fig. 7) en aluminium 20 mm est rentré complètement dans la fourche avant et est fixée (Fig. 8) au fond de la fourche avec un boulon 6 mm prolongeant ainsi celle-ci. Sur ce prolongement (4) est fixé (Fig. 9), par une potence (5), le guidon (2) qui contient un frein avant (6) ainsi que deux cornes (7), à tenir lors des virages et des descentes. Le câble de frein (8) est scotché (9) au prolongement (4) de la fourche avant (Fig. 10).A bent tube (4) (Fig. 7) in aluminum 20 mm is completely retracted into the front fork and is fixed (Fig. 8) to the bottom of the fork with a bolt 6 mm thus extending it. On this extension (4) is fixed (Fig. 9), by a stem (5), the handlebar (2) which contains a front brake (6) as well as two horns (7), to be held during turns and descents . The brake cable (8) is taped (9) to the extension (4) of the front fork (Fig. 10).

Sur la douille de direction (10) est soudé (Fig. 10), à l’horizontale, un tube rond (11) en fer 21 mm de 68 cm de long dont ses extrémités contiennent un bout de tube carré (12) de côté 21 mm et de longueur 4 cm. Ce tube rond (11) est pourvu également (Fig. 11) de deux raccords articulés (13) permettant de plier, de chaque côté, le tube à 90 ° vers le haut. Un demi rond en tube (Fig. 12), fixé par un élastique, a été rajouté pour empêcher que les raccords (13) ne s’ouvrent pendant l’utilisation. Il suffit de faire pivoter ces deux demi ronds vers le haut pour arriver à plier les raccords (13).On the steering tube (10) is welded (Fig. 10), horizontally, a round iron tube (11) 21 mm 68 cm long whose ends contain a piece of square tube (12) with a side of 21 mm and a length of 4 cm. This round tube (11) is also provided (Fig. 11) with two articulated connectors (13) making it possible to bend, on each side, the tube at 90° upwards. A half-round tube (Fig. 12), fixed by a rubber band, has been added to prevent the fittings (13) from opening during use. Just rotate these two half circles upwards to manage to bend the fittings (13).

Sur ses extrémités carrées (12) s’emboîte (Fig. 13) un bout de tube carré (14) de côté 25 mm, d’épaisseur 1,5 mm et de 40 mm de long sur lequel sont soudés deux morceaux de tube rond de diamètre 25 mm pour y fixer une des deux structures similaires (Fig. 14) contenant les roues arrière (3) ainsi qu’un écrou pour y visser une vis papillon permettant d’empêcher le coulissement lors de l’utilisation.On its square ends (12) fits (Fig. 13) a piece of square tube (14) of side 25 mm, thickness 1.5 mm and 40 mm long on which are welded two pieces of round tube 25 mm in diameter to attach one of the two similar structures (Fig. 14) containing the rear wheels (3) to it, as well as a nut for screwing a butterfly screw therein to prevent sliding during use.

Chaque structure similaire est composée:
1) d’un tube coudé (15) rond 20 mm en aluminium (Fig. 15) et d’épaisseur 2 mm, comme tous les autres tubes en aluminium utilisés, sur lequel est fixée, par 3 rivets pop, une cornière (16) de 32 mm par 65 mm permettant de reposer son pied lors des descentes. Ce tube (15) rentre, d’un côté (Fig. 16), dans le morceau de tube rond femelle soudé au fer carré coulissant (14) et est fixé par un boulon 6 mm et de l’autre côté, il est aplati et percé pour se visser sur l’axe d’une roue arrière (3).
2) d’une roue (3) avec fourche (17) (Fig. 17).
3) d’un tube acier (18) rond 25 mm presque vertical (Fig. 18) soudé sur le haut de la fourche (17) prolongeant celle-ci.
4) d’un autre tube coudé (19) rond (Fig. 19) 20 mm en aluminium rentrant (Fig. 20) d’un côté dans un morceau de tube mâle 16 mm en acier soudé à la fourche acier (17) et de l’autre dans un morceau de tube femelle 25 mm soudé au carré coulissant (14). Le tube (19) est boulonné des deux côtés par un boulon 6 mm.
5) d’un tube en aluminium (20) 20 mm coulissant (Fig. 21) dans la fourche (18) et percé à trois endroits afin, à la fois, de l’ajuster à la taille de l’utilisateur et d’avoir une hauteur de passage, sous la barre, de 1 m 82, 1m 91 et 2 m. Un boulon (Fig. 22) avec écrou rentre dans un des trous pour faire l’arrêt avec le haut de la fourche (19). Ce tube (20) est en fait constitué de deux morceaux emboités (Fig. 23) dans un tube en aluminium 16 mm et de longueur 36 mm reliés par un élastique 4 mm fixé aux extrémités de chaque tube par une tige de fer de 3 mm traversant de part en part le tube de 20 mm.
Each similar structure is composed of:
1) a bent tube (15) round 20 mm in aluminum (Fig. 15) and 2 mm thick, like all the other aluminum tubes used, on which is fixed, by 3 pop rivets, a 32 mm by 65 mm angle iron (16) allowing its foot during descents. This tube (15) fits, on one side (Fig. 16), into the piece of female round tube welded to the sliding square iron (14) and is fixed by a bolt 6 mm and on the other side, it is flattened and drilled to be screwed onto the axle of a rear wheel (3).
2) a wheel (3) with fork (17) (Fig. 17).
3) a round steel tube (18) 25 mm almost vertical (Fig. 18) welded to the top of the fork (17) extending it.
4) another bent tube (19) round (Fig. 19) 20 mm aluminum re-entrant (Fig. 20) on one side in a piece of male tube 16 mm steel welded to the steel fork (17) and the other in a piece of female tube 25 mm welded to the sliding square (14). The tube (19) is bolted on both sides by a bolt 6mm.
5) an aluminum tube (20) 20 mm sliding (Fig. 21) in the fork (18) and drilled in three places in order both to adjust it to the size of the user and to have a passage height, under the bar, of 1m82, 1m91 and 2m. A bolt (Fig. 22) with nut goes into one of the holes to make the stop with the top of the fork (19). This tube (20) is in fact made up of two nested pieces (Fig. 23) in an aluminum tube 16 mm and 36 mm long connected by an elastic 4 mm fixed at the ends of each tube by an iron rod of 3 mm crossing right through the tube of 20mm.

Un autre tube (Fig. 24) en aluminium (21) 25 mm, en forme de U à l’envers, s’emboîte sur le haut de chaque montant (20) faisant la jonction entre les deux structures. Il contient (Fig. 25) deux petits morceaux de tube de 20 mm enfoncés jusqu’au coude pour éviter aux montants de rester coincés dans le tube lors du démontage. Le tube (Fig. 26) en U (21) supporte le harnais (22) de l’utilisateur.Another tube (Fig. 24) in aluminum (21) 25 mm, U-shaped upside down, fits on the top of each upright (20) forming the junction between the two structures. It contains (Fig. 25) two small pieces of tube of 20 mm sunk to the elbow to prevent the uprights from getting stuck in the tube during dismantling. The tube (Fig. 26) in U (21) supports the harness (22) of the user.

Pour que l’utilisateur ait une plus grande liberté de déplacement en ne gardant pas constamment les mains sur le guidon (2), un système (Fig. 27) de deux ressorts (24) a été monté sur une pâte en forme de T (25) qui est soudée à la douille de direction (10). Ces ressorts (24) ont pour dimensions 62 mm de long par 13 mm de large et sont accrochés (Fig. 28) d’un côté, à un écrou soudé à chaque branche de la fourche et de l’autre côté, à deux vis à œil traversant la pâte (25) et retenues par deux boulons, vissés plus ou moins. Ils règlent ainsi la rigidité de la roue avant (1) et l’empêchent de vaciller lors du déplacement.So that the user has greater freedom of movement by not constantly keeping his hands on the handlebar (2), a system (Fig. 27) of two springs (24) has been mounted on a T-shaped paste ( 25) which is welded to the steering sleeve (10). These springs (24) have dimensions of 62 mm long by 13 mm wide and are attached (Fig. 28) on one side to a nut welded to each branch of the fork and on the other side to two screws eye through the paste (25) and retained by two bolts, screwed more or less. They thus adjust the rigidity of the front wheel (1) and prevent it from wobbling when moving.

Ce moyen de locomotion est pliable (Fig. 29). Il est aussi démontable (Fig. 30).This means of transport is foldable (Fig. 29). It is also removable (Fig. 30).

Ses dimensions pliées (Fig. 31) sont de 130 cm de long par 82 cm de haut et seulement 31 cm de large. On peut encore, si nécessaire, réduire la longueur de 15 cm en démontant la roue avant (1) de telle sorte qu’il peut se mettre dans une voiture (Fig. 32) entre le dos des sièges avant et les sièges arrière ou bien dans une housse de transport de vélo pour le train par exemple.Its folded dimensions (Fig. 31) are 130 cm long by 82 cm high and only 31 cm wide. You can still, if necessary, reduce the length by 15 cm by removing the front wheel (1) so that it can be placed in a car (Fig. 32) between the backs of the front seats and the rear seats or else in a bicycle transport bag for the train for example.

Le pliage est simple et rapide puisqu’il faut moins d’une minute et se réalise en 8 étapes dans l’ordre:
1) Retirer le tube en U (21) des deux montants (20) (Fig. 24).
2) Dévisser (Fig. 33) un des deux vis papillons pour faire coulisser, vers le centre, une structure (Fig. 14) contenant une roue arrière(3).
3) Remonter (Fig. 34) la partie articulée grâce au raccord (13) en faisant pivoter vers le haut le demi rond maintenu par l’élastique.
4) Dévisser (Fig. 35) l’autre vis papillon pour faire coulisser, vers le centre, la deuxième structure.
5) Remonter (Fig. 36) l’autre partie articulée.
6) Faire pivoter (Fig. 37) le guidon (2) vers le bas.
7) Déboîter (Fig. 38) la partie supérieure de chaque montant (20) et la poser sur la fourche avant.
8) Poser (Fig. 39) le tube en U (21) entre le guidon (2) et le tube rond (11) contenant les deux raccords articulés (13).
Une fois plié, on peut le porter (Fig. 40) en l’attrapant par le prolongement du guidon (4) puisqu’il ne pèse que 10 kg ou bien le faire rouler (Fig. 41) sur la roue avant (1) en l’attrapant par le guidon (2).
Folding is simple and quick since it takes less than a minute and is carried out in 8 steps in order:
1) Remove the U-tube (21) from the two uprights (20) (Fig. 24).
2) Unscrew (Fig. 33) one of the two butterfly screws to slide, towards the center, a structure (Fig. 14) containing a rear wheel (3).
3) Reassemble (Fig. 34) the articulated part using the connector (13) by pivoting the half circle held by the elastic upwards.
4) Unscrew (Fig. 35) the other butterfly screw to slide the second structure towards the centre.
5) Refit (Fig. 36) the other hinged part.
6) Pivot (Fig. 37) the handlebar (2) downwards.
7) Disengage (Fig. 38) the upper part of each upright (20) and place it on the front fork.
8) Fit (Fig. 39) the U-shaped tube (21) between the handlebar (2) and the round tube (11) containing the two articulated joints (13).
Once folded, it can be carried (Fig. 40) by grabbing it by the extension of the handlebar (4) since it weighs only 10 kg or rolling it (Fig. 41) on the front wheel (1) grabbing it by the handlebar (2).

Ses dimensions démontées sont de 90 cm de long par 75 cm de large et 31 cm de haut. Il rentre (Fig. 42) donc facilement dans le coffre d’une voiture. Le démontage (Fig. 30) est encore plus rapide que le pliage. Il se réalise en 4 étapes:
1) Retirer le tube en U (21) des deux montants (20).
2) Sortir les deux tubes (20) des fourches arrière (19) et les plier en deux, grâce aux l’élastiques.
3) Dévisser les deux vis papillons, pour faire coulisser, vers l’extérieur cette fois, les deux structures contenant une roue arrière (3).
4) Remonter les deux raccords articulés (13) installés sur le tube central (11) afin de réduire la largeur de la partie contenant la roue avant (1).
Its disassembled dimensions are 90 cm long by 75 cm wide and 31 cm high. It fits (Fig. 42) therefore easily in the trunk of a car. Dismantling (Fig. 30) is even faster than folding. It is done in 4 steps:
1) Remove the U-tube (21) from the two uprights (20).
2) Remove the two tubes (20) from the rear forks (19) and fold them in half using the rubber bands.
3) Unscrew the two wing screws, to make the two structures containing a rear wheel (3) slide outwards this time.
4) Refit the two articulated connectors (13) installed on the central tube (11) in order to reduce the width of the part containing the front wheel (1).

Décrivons maintenant le harnais (22) que doit enfiler l’utilisateur avant de s’accrocher au véhicule. Il s’agit (Fig. 43) de deux chambres à air linéaires 26 pouces de long par 1,2 pouce de large. Elles sont fixées, chacune (Fig. 44), d’un bout à l’autre par une boucle rapide (23) permettant d’ajuster leur longueur en fonction de la taille de l’utilisateur et de ses besoins en terme d’allègement de poids. Un nœud (Fig. 45) en ficelle, réunissant deux points de la chambre à air crée deux boucles et empêche (Fig. 46) l’air de passer dans la boucle contenant la boucle rapide (23) lors du gonflage de la boucle contenant la valve. L’utilisateur (Fig. 47) glissera donc chaque jambe dans chaque boucle contenant la valve de la chambre à air et leur gonflement épousera la forme du haut de chaque cuisse. De plus, pour éviter le frottement entre les deux chambres à air au niveau de l’entrejambe, un fourreau (Fig. 48) en tissu élastique recouvre la boucle contenant la valve. Il s’agit d’un morceau de bande tubulaire en jersey de 3 cm de large. Enfin, pour s’accrocher au véhicule (Fig. 49), l’utilisateur n’a plus qu’à refermer chaque boucle rapide (23) autour d’un montant (20) et de faire passer (Fig. 50) la chambre à air au dessus du tube en U (21).Let us now describe the harness (22) that the user must put on before attaching himself to the vehicle. These are (Fig. 43) two linear air chambers 26 inches long by 1.2 inches wide. They are each fixed (Fig. 44) from one end to the other by a quick-release buckle (23) allowing their length to be adjusted according to the size of the user and their needs in terms of relief. weight. A knot (Fig. 45) in string, joining two points of the air chamber creates two loops and prevents (Fig. 46) the air from passing into the loop containing the quick loop (23) during inflation of the loop containing the valve. The user (Fig. 47) will therefore slip each leg into each loop containing the valve of the inner tube and their swelling will follow the shape of the top of each thigh. In addition, to avoid friction between the two air chambers at the crotch, a sheath (Fig. 48) in elastic fabric covers the loop containing the valve. This is a 3cm wide piece of stockinette tubular band. Finally, to cling to the vehicle (Fig. 49), the user only has to close each quick loop (23) around an upright (20) and pass (Fig. 50) the chamber above the U-tube (21).

Ce moyen de locomotion (Fig. 51) pourrait intéresser:
- Une personne qui veut se mettre à courir ou se remettre à courir mais qui trouve que c’est trop dur notamment à cause de son surpoids.
- Une personne âgée qui a du mal à marcher et qui pourrait reprendre plaisir à se promener sans béquille.
- Un centre de rééducation des membres inférieurs ayant un espace extérieur pour pratiquer la marche plutôt qu’un appareil intérieur avec tapis de course.
- Une personne qui veut marcher et qui pourra rouler dans les descentes.
- Une personne qui s’est blessée à un membre inférieur et qui aimerait reprendre la marche puis la course.
- Une personne sportive qui aimerait faire une plus grande distance en course à pied sans en augmenter le temps.
- Une personne sportive qui trouve la course en descente lassante peut faire toutes les descentes en roulant.
- Une personne sportive qui veut s’entrainer pour un «Run and Bike» toute seule sans faire de boucle, va courir sur le plat et les montées et se reposer dans les descentes.
- Une personne sportive qui souhaite faire un renforcement musculaire en courant avec du poids supplémentaire. Cette surcharge est alors accrochée à l’avant du véhicule donc poussée et non portée pour ne pas rajouter du poids sur les articulations.
This means of locomotion (Fig. 51) could interest:
- A person who wants to start running or start running again but who finds it too hard, in particular because of their overweight.
- An elderly person who has difficulty walking and who could enjoy walking again without a crutch.
- A lower limb rehabilitation center with an outdoor space for walking rather than an indoor device with a treadmill.
- A person who wants to walk and who can ride downhill.
- A person who has injured their lower limb and who would like to resume walking and then running.
- A sporty person who would like to run a longer distance without increasing the time.
- A sporty person who finds downhill running tiresome can do all the descents while rolling.
- A sporty person who wants to train for a "Run and Bike" on their own without making a loop, will run on the flat and the climbs and rest on the descents.
- An athletic person who wants to build muscle by running with extra weight. This overload is then hooked to the front of the vehicle and therefore pushed and not carried so as not to add weight to the joints.
