Abstract

he scooter can be telescoped, collapsed or folded into a pocket size, so that it may be carrying around in a pocket or on a belt. The steering column and handlebar slide or fold into each other. The steering column is positively or non-positively connected to the front wheel fork (9) by a joint or push-in mechanism. The front wheel suspension (2) is connected to the front wheel fork with a hinge or ball and socket joint. The scooter control may be achieved through a vertical axle (A) between the front wheel (8), which is rotatable with a connecting rod (1), and fixed side arms (3). The control may alternatively be achieved by having the connecting rod and front wheel fork fixed to the front wheel suspension and rotating about a vertical axle (B) connected to the side arms. The side arms are connected to a rotatable tread board (5).

Description

The invention is a muscle-powered means of locomotion that is pushed together in the or folded, can be carried comfortably in your pocket or on your belt. His Use does not require any special skill and can be controlled at any time.

In order to achieve distances faster than walking in daily life and less tiring over a longer period of time than to Sprinting, to be able to overcome, you need a means of transportation.

All means of transport offered, such as roller skates, so-called inline scaters, scooters, bicycles, etc., require sometimes considerable dexterity and are also too bulky to be carried anywhere. In addition, their use in relation to the environment is only possible to a limited extent and requires or for changes in direction Braking maneuvers a lot of space.

To solve this problem, the invention provides in a means of locomotion of the type mentioned in the characterized part of claim 1 specified features. Design are the subject of Subclaims 2 to 8.

Claim 2 provides that the handlebar with handlebars according to claim 2 can be slid into one another or alternatively foldable to at least one fifth of its operating length and that it is positively or non-positively connected to the front fork (9) via a joint or alternatively a plug mechanism.

Claim 3 provides that the front suspension ( 2 ) with the front fork ( 9 ) via a swivel or ball joint or alternatively rigidly - see dependent claim 4 - is connected.

Claim 4 provides that the control of the pocket scooter via a vertical axis by means of a handlebar and handlebar ( 1 ) rotatable front wheel ( 8 ) and rigid steering knuckles ( 3 ) or with the handlebar and handlebar ( 1 ) and front fork ( 9 ) firmly connected front suspension ( 2 ) and on this rotatably mounted steering knuckle ( 3 ) in connection with a rotatable step surface ( 5 ).

Claim 5 provides that the stub axles ( 3 ) are rotatably connected to one another via at least one vertical axle bearing (B) or alternatively positively or non-positively.

Claim 6 provides that the stub axles ( 3 ) can be slid into one another or alternatively folded over at least half their operating length.

Claim 7 provides that at least one rear wheel ( 7 ) is rotatably mounted on at least one steering knuckle ( 3).

Claim 8 provides that the tread surface ( 5 ) can be pushed together, placed or folded.

Claim 9 provides that the step surface ( 5 ) is rigidly or rotatably connected via the axle connector ( 4 , 6 ) to at least one steering knuckle ( 3 ) and, alternatively, if there is more than one steering knuckle ( 3 ), this is force- or connects positively to one another.

Claim 10 provides that the axle connectors ( 4 , 6 ) are connected to one another via a joint (C) and can be pushed together, folded or folded.
