Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rim for driving tires according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • Bicycles may only be moved in road traffic with the prescribed lighting equipment, which also includes fluorescent materials and retroreflective agents.
  • lighting equipment which also includes fluorescent materials and retroreflective agents.
  • either two yellow spoke reflectors acting on each side or a ring-shaped, reflecting white cord must either be attached to the side of the bicycle jacket or in the spokes of each wheel. Additional yellow retroreflective agents acting to the side are also permitted.
  • a disadvantage of the yellow spoke reflectors is that they are retrofitted into the spokes of an impeller, so that the tension of the spokes can be unintentionally adversely affected, that the rest is negatively influenced by the additional mass and imbalance and that one parked between two The wheel driving out of the car cannot be recognized immediately if the two spoke reflectors are vertical at this moment.
  • the white reflex cords braided in the spokes have the disadvantage of only having a very small surface in the vertical side direction, which can also be removed from dirt only with difficulty.
  • the known bicycle sheaths provided with white reflective strips have the disadvantage that they are more expensive to buy than conventional tires, so that a cheaper version of a bicycle sheath is used in the event of a replacement.
  • a wheel with a rim is known (DE 28 37 61 5 AI), in which reflective material is arranged on both side surfaces of the rim.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is that conventional rim brakes cannot be used with such a rim, since the reflective layer would be removed quickly because of the abrasion of the brake pads and, moreover, the braking behavior would be greatly deteriorated.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a rim which, without influencing the spoke tension, the concentricity and the braking effect of an impeller, permanently improves traffic safety by increasing the lateral securing.
  • This invention ensures that the ability to apply a reflective strip on both sides of the rim greatly improves the visibility of a bicycle in the dark, since the entire contour of a wheel extends over a large diameter. is formed. Furthermore, a bicycle can be recognized almost immediately after driving out between two obstacles, such as parked cars. Even if there are only small obstructions such as bushes, small walls or the like, part of the strip always remains visible. Furthermore, the reflective strip is firmly connected to the rim, so that it cannot be lost. It is also designed so that it can be cleaned by simply cleaning it after it has been soiled, for example after driving in the rain.
  • a further advantage is that the construction and design of the rim can be carried out in such a way that all commercially available tires can be used. If a bicycle owner practices incorrect economy when purchasing new bicycle coats with side reflective strips and purchases them without these strips, the nighttime safety is nevertheless maintained when the rim according to the invention is present.
  • the rim between the brake ring and the annular side surface has a circumferential nose which, on the one hand, mechanically separates the two surfaces and, on the other hand, prevents the strip from becoming dirty due to brake abrasion.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment has a further circumferential nose on the inner diameter, which shape ensures that damage to the strip by incoming foreign bodies is prevented.
  • This nose or lugs is advantageously formed in one piece with the aluminum profile of the rim which is essentially U-shaped in cross section. This can also consist of other materials, be it ferrous or non-ferrous metals, plastics or mixed forms.
  • the lugs could also be formed on an L-shaped or U-shaped profile, into which the reflective strip is introduced and which can be attached laterally to a rim.
  • the reflective strip ideally consists of a reflective tape that is glued on or in the profile of the rim and for which an official type approval and the prescribed test mark can be achieved. After application to the rim, this film can no longer be removed over a large area. It is preferably white, but can also be yellow. Also advantageous is a version of the strip, which continues to glow for a certain time after being illuminated, fluoresces in order to safely overcome dark sections at night, for example between two more distant lanterns, without lateral safety losses.
  • the two-sided annular side surfaces of the rim or the reflective strips can be aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle, but they are advantageously conical, so that a bicycle can be recognized early in the dark from an angle of almost 3 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle from the front or rear .
  • Fig. 2 shows a cross section through a reflective strip
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of the geometry in plan view.
  • the rim 1 consists of a double-walled hollow chamber profile made of aluminum and has on its two side flanks an outer brake ring 2 and an inner annular side surface 3, to which a reflective strip 4 is glued.
  • Brake ring 2 and side surface 3 are separated by a circumferential nose 5, which is designed so that the abrasion of the brake is kept away from the reflective strip 4.
  • the rim 1 has a further circumferential nose 6 on the inside diameter, which protects the strip 5 against mechanical destruction by incident foreign bodies or abrasion, for example on curbs.
  • the annular side surface 3 can be arranged normal, that is to say at right angles and even to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle, but it can advantageously also be conical, which improves the visibility from the front and rear, which is also illustrated by FIG. 3.

Abstract

L'invention vise à accroître la sécurité routière d'une bicyclette au moyen d'un élément de sécurité latéral durable, sans influer sur la tension des rayons, les qualités de roulement et l'action de freinage de freins sur jante. A cet effet, la jante (1) présente au moins une surface latérale annulaire (3) supplémentaire, à l'intérieur et/ou à l'extérieur dans le sens radial des bordures latérales servant de jante de freinage (2), pour permettre la fixation de bandes réfléchissantes (4).
