JP2011011730A - Storable folding two-wheeler - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems of a conventional two-wheeler wherein, when the two-wheeler is stored, a wide space is required in each of dwelling houses, stations, places of work, schools, and so forth, and the storage in the dwelling houses and the carrying in public institutions are difficult.SOLUTION: This two-wheeler is characterized by a trunk for storage and a structure used commonly to a main frame. The two-wheeler can be easily changed over between the two-wheeler state and the storage state by opening/closing two doors at a storage trunk part by 180°. When folding, the two-wheeler is changed over to the trunk configuration. Since the trunk compactly stores the wheel parts of the two-wheeler together with the contamination, the two-wheeler can be easily carried.

Description

  The present invention relates to a two-wheeled vehicle having a structure in which a two-wheeled vehicle state and a storage state can be easily changed by opening and closing a door.

  Conventional motorcycles have limited space when parked, and are often difficult to store at the entrances of apartments, etc., requiring a dedicated bicycle parking lot.

  Conventional folding bicycles are often folded in the middle, making them difficult to carry and require space equivalent to the trunk of an automobile.

  Some of the special foldable bicycles are very compact, but it takes about 10 seconds to fold and requires a storage bag to carry around without getting dirty. Have

  An object of the present invention is to make it easy to carry in public transportation and store indoors by completely storing wheels and the like while solving such problems in the prior art.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is characterized by a structure that serves as a storage trunk and a main frame. By opening and closing the two doors of the storage trunk section by 180 degrees, the two-wheeled vehicle state and the storage state can be easily achieved. It provides a motorcycle that can be changed to.

  The two-wheeled vehicle of the present invention has the main structure of the two-wheeled vehicle in the trunk.

  When the door is opened Pull out the handle and front wheel and fix the handle with the open door to transform it into a motorcycle.

  When the door is opened The tip of the door functions as a saddle.

  The two-wheeled vehicle of the present invention can be easily transported and stored by changing the form of use by opening and closing the door.

  A preferred embodiment of the motorcycle according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

  In FIG. 1, the two-wheeled vehicle is formed of a control unit, a drive unit, and a door main body unit.

In FIG. 2, a steering wheel 1 a brake 2 a steering part frame 3 a front fork 4 and a front wheel 5 are fixedly arranged in the steering part.
The transmission of the gripping force of the brake 2 arranged in the control unit may be another method such as a link or a rod other than the wire-tube.
In addition to the above, the transfer positioning convex component 6 is fixed and arranged on the control unit.
The transfer positioning convex component 6 disposed in the control unit may have a shape other than a spherical shape.
In addition to the above, a transfer hinge part 7 is arranged in the control section.

In FIG. 3, a saddle 8 lock 9 is fixed to the door body.
The lock 9 of the storage unit main body shown in the figure is used for both the two-wheeled vehicle state and the storage state, but may be installed separately.
In addition to the above, a transfer positioning recess product 10 is fixedly disposed on the door body.

In FIG. 4, a drive unit frame 12, rear fork 13, pedal 14, power transmission component 15, shock absorbing component 16 and rear wheel 17 are fixedly disposed in the drive unit.
The power transmission component 15 disposed in the drive unit may be another timing belt or the like.
The shock absorbing component 16 disposed in the drive unit may be included in the saddle 8 or may not be provided depending on the assumed road pavement state.
In addition to the above, a transfer hinge part 7 is disposed in the drive unit.
The drive unit and the door body are connected by a butterfly 11.

A series of folding operations will be described.
Operation 1 Open the lock 9 and open the two doors to free the transfer positioning and release the motorcycle state.
Operation 2 The free control part is folded around the transfer hinge part 7.
Operation 3 With the control unit folded, rotate the two doors 180 degrees to store the control unit wheels and drive unit.
Operation 4 The storage state is locked with the lock 9 described above.
By the above operation, it is possible to secure in a short time a state that can be stored or transported with about 1/3 the size of a two-wheeled vehicle during storage.

Features other than folding in this embodiment.
The control part frame that protrudes from the main unit door becomes a handle and enables easy transportation.
In the storage state, the wheel and other parts are completely contained, so the surroundings are not contaminated and can be easily carried by public transport and stored indoors.
A simple combination of motorcycles and public transportation can dramatically improve the range of human behavior.

  Since this storage state is the same as a general trunk, it is possible to place casters and shoulder straps. Of course, it is possible to store the empty space without worrying about water drops such as kappa.

  The front fork portion of the motorcycle can be provided with a stretched structure in the same manner as a play equipment such as a kick board.

  Although the illustrated embodiment relates to an inner bicycle of a motorcycle, the same concept can be applied to an electric motorcycle and an electric assist bicycle.
