FR2824518A1 - Load transporting scooter comprises flat chassis, front steering wheel, rear wheel fixed on offset support and stand - Google Patents

Abstract

The scooter comprises a flat chassis (1), a front steering wheel (2), a steering tube, handlebar and brake unit (6), a rear wheel (4) fixed on a removable support (5) and a double fold down stand (7). The rear wheel and its support are fixed to the chassis offset from the front wheel alignment allowing an offset center of gravity (3) to be obtained.

Description

biodogradable.

  -1 The present invention relates to a load transport vehicle driven by a walker. The vehicles, non-motorized, of current load transport are, roughly, two in number: trolleys and bicycles. The disadvantage of the trolleys is their size. The bikes are narrower but for a walker, the pedals

  often represent a risk of shock to the legs.

  The vehicle according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks.

It includes:

  -a flat chassis forming a fairly low platform.

-a front steering wheel.

  -a rear wheel whose characteristic is to be fixed back from the alignment of the front wheel. The width of the chassis (around forty centimeters) can therefore be used entirely without there being an overhang thanks to the repositioning of the center of gravity. The vehicle becomes stable while having a

small footprint.

  -a double folding stand on the back of the chassis.

  According to particular embodiments, the vehicle becomes easily removable to be transported in the boot of an automobile, in particular

  in the front part at the chassis-steering link tube (6 fig. 1).

  The rear wheel can be fixed on a removable support and bolted to the chassis (5).

  This wheel support can be provided with lights instead of the fixing holes

  to precisely adjust the center of gravity.

  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

  FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of the invention.

  FIG. 2 a top view of the vehicle.

  With reference to these drawings, the vehicle comprises a flat chassis (1); a front steering wheel (2) with its steering tube, its handlebars, its brakes; a rear wheel (4) fixed on its support (5) itself bolted to the chassis (1) but set back from the front wheel thus giving a center of gravity in the middle of the chassis (3);

  a double folding stand (7) at the rear of the chassis.

  Other methods of manufacturing the chassis, eg a central beam connecting the two wheels, an inverted chassis for left-handers, etc. Other steering systems, other models of wheels represent several possible adaptations but do not

  in no way modify the primary definition of the present invention.

  This vehicle for transporting various loads (liquids or solids) is

  particularly intended for use by a walker.

  Its all-terrain bearing does not limit its use to asphalt surfaces.
