Abstract

A motorcycle manoeuvring device consists of a frame with two axles each with a pair of ground engaging wheels. When placed under the rear wheel of the motorcycle the device allows the motorcycle to swivel around the stationary front wheel.

Description

<Desc/Clms Page number 1>
A Motorcycle turning device.
This invention relates to a device which enables a motorcycle to be easily turned in a restricted space.
Once a motorcycle has been ridden forward into a garage or a narrow driveway it is difficult to turn it around to ride back out to the road, This struggle can result in damage to the machine by catching parts on walls etc or worse by falling on its side.
The turning device solves this problem by enabling the rider to swivel the machine round 180 degrees to face back towards the road without the usual and risky shunting back and forth.
My design is in the form of a four-wheeled trolley which fits under the rear wheel of the motorcycle and enables the rear end of the motorcycle to be pushed round until the motorcycle is facing the required direction.
This turning device is very easy and safe to use because it is used with the side stand in the down position so that if at any time the rider does not feel in control or needs to stop the movement of the motorcycle he only needs to lower the angle of the machine slightly to completely stop all movement leaving the machine safely supported on its side stand.
The device is constructed using round steel bar to form the framework and hard plastic wheels to enable the motorcycle to be turned, the two axles are positioned at an angle to one another such that the rear end of the motorcycle moves in an arc around the front wheel which does not move.
FIGURE 1 shows a plan view of the turning device.
FIGURE 2 shows a side view of the turning device.
FIGURE 3 shows an end view of the turning device.
FIGURE 4 shows the movement of the motorcycle using the turning'device.
<Desc/Clms Page number 2>
As shown in Figure 1 the framework of the device forms a four sided shape in which axles'e' & 'f are the same length whilst support bars'b' & 'g' differ in length in order that the device runs round the correct arc to turn the motorcycle without the front wheel moving.
The four wheels'a'rotate on axles'e' & 'f and are held in place between the fixed washers'c'.
The supports and axles are welded'd'together to form a very strong structure.
The back wheel of the motorcycle is reversed onto support bars'b' & 'g' which are shaped to ensure that the wheel (shown as dotted lines'h' & 'j') sits centrally on the device.
The device is used by first parking the motorcycle on its side stand near the left side of the area in which it is to be turned, the device is then placed immediately behind the rear wheel with the short support bar'b'nearest to the tyre, the operator, standing at the left side of the motorcycle then lifts it off the side stand to near vertical and pulls backwards until the rear wheel is seated on the device, holding both handlebars the motorcycle is then pushed round to the right by the operators right hip until the motorcycle is pointing in the required direction at which point the operator stops pushing with his hip and then pushes the machine forwards off the device.
If the operator at any time during the whole operation feels that he is losing control of the motorcycle or its movement he can stop all movement safely and quickly by simply lowering the motorcycle back onto its side stand.
The arc round which the rear end of the motorcycle travels is shown in Figure 4.
