Abstract
A training bike has a main column 20 having a seat post 24 retractably received in a first end thereof, a rear support 40 pivotally connected to a first end of the main column 20, and a handlebar tube 30 pivotally connected to the main column 20 at a point 201 lower than the connection of the rear support 40 to the main column 20. The main column has a support bar 23 at the second end thereof and a pedal crank assembly 21. The rear support 40 and the handle bar tube 30 can be attached to the main column via sets of lugs 200, 201, and have resilient abutment pads 401, 301. The bike can thus be folded compactly for storage (figs 3, 4), whilst reducing trembles during use. The handlebars 31 may rotate down (figs 3, 4), and the bike may have an illustration gauge 32.
Description
2361651 TRAINING BIKE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a training bike, and more particularly to an foldable training bike which allows the frames of the training bike to be as compact as possible.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional training bike generally includes an X-shaped frame which has two upper ends one of which has a seat and the other upper end has a handlebar.
Two lower ends of the X-shaped frame each have a transverse bar so as to firmly stand on the ground. A cycling means is connected to the front portion of the frame so that the user sits on the seat and holds the handlebar to rotate the cycling means by his/her feet. The frame of the training bike is so simple so that it is welcomed in the market. However, the intersectional portion of the X-shaped frame is not strong enough so that the frame will shake when the user steps the crank of the cycling means, this is partly because the sole intersectional portion of the Xshaped frame bears the total weight of the user. Besides, although the frame is foldable, the intersectional portion cannot be folded to be a compact size so that it is inconvenient for the user to store or transport the training bike.
The present invention intends to provide a foldable training bike whose frame is able to be folded to a compact size. The frame includes a rear support pivotally connected to the main column at the position which is higher than the position at which the handlebar tube is connected to the main column. The frame can effectively reduce the trembling of the frame when in use.
SUMMARYQF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a training bike comprising a main column having a seat post retractably received in a first end thereof and a support bar connected to a second end of the main column. A I cycling means is connected to the main column and has a crank rotatably connected thereto. A rear support is pivotally connected to the main column at the first end of the main column, and a handlebar tube is pivotally connected to the main column at a position which is located lower than the position where the rear support is 5 connected to the main column.
The training bike of the present invention is to provide a training bike which can be folded to let the handlebar tube and the rear support be folded adjacent to the main column so as to be easily stored and/or transported.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a training bike which will not tremble when in use.
These and fiti-ther objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, several embodiments in accordance with the present invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OEIHE DRAWINGS
Fig. I is a perspective view of the training bike in accordance with the present invention, Fig. 2 is a side view to shoe the training bike of the present invention; Fig. 3 is a perspective view to show the training bike of the present invention when being folded, and Fig. 4 is a side view to show the folded training bike of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
For a better understanding of the present invention, reference is made to Figs. I and 2 for illustrating the training bike I in accordance with the present invention. The training bike I comprises a main column 20 having a seat post 24 retractably received in a first end thereof and a support bar 23 connected to a second 2 end of the main column 20. A seat 240 is connected to the seat post 24 which has a lot of indents 241 in the outside thereof, and a bolt 202 extends through the main column 20 and is engaged with one of the indents 241 so as to position the seat post 24 relative to the main column 20. A cycling means 21 is connected to the main column 20 and a crank 210 with two paddles 22 is rotatably connected to the cycling means 2 1.
A rear support 40 is pivotally connected to the main column at the first end of the main column 20, wherein the main column 20 has two first lugs 200 extending radially outward therefrom so that the rear support 40 is pivotally connected between the two first lugs 200. A resilient pad 401 is connected between the rear support 40 and the main column 20. A bar 41 is connected transversely to the other end of the rear support 40.
A handlebar tube 30 is pivotally connected to the main column 20 at a position which is located lower than the position where the rear support 40 is connected to the main column 20. In other words, the main column 20 has two second lugs 201 extending radially outward therefrom so that the handlebar tube 30 is pivotally connected between the two second lugs 201. Similarly, a resilient pad 301 is connected between the handlebar tube 30 and the main column 20. A bandlebar 31 is connected to the other end of the handlebar tube 30 and a illustration gauge 32 is connected to the handlebar 31 as known.
It is advantageous that the two connection points of the handlebar tube 30 and the rear support 40 are located at different height relative to the main column 20 so that the load of the user will not be concentrated at one point and is dispensed so that the training bike will not tremble when in use.
Referring to Figs. -3) and 4, the rear support 40 and the handlebar tube 30 can be respectively pivoted toward the main column 20 as shown in Figs. - 3) and 4.
The rear support 40 and the handlebar tube 30 are pivoted to a position in parallel 3 with the main column 20 so that the folded frame of the training bike I is so. small so that it is easily to be stored and/or transported.
While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that ffirther embodiments may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
