Description

Pedal strap and pedal including the pedal strap

The invention relates to a pedal strap and a pedal including the pedal strap.

Generally, the pedals of bicycles or exercise bikes always have a strap. The straps are arranged on opposite sides of the pedals to form a cuff for the user's feet to wear, so as to prevent the user's feet from being placed on the pedal. It slips easily when stepping on the pedal. The conventional pedal strap is a belt extending in the shape of a flat plate. Therefore, the radial dimension of the cuff enclosed by the conventional pedal strap remains unchanged along the length of the foot, and cannot correspond to the instep of the human body. The height changes and there are different radial dimensions, resulting in the situation that the part with higher instep height is too tight and the part with lower instep height is too loose when wearing the sleeve, which makes it inconvenient to put on the sleeve, move around, and has poor comfort.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide a novel and progressive pedal strap and a pedal including the pedal strap to solve the above-mentioned problems.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a pedal strap and a pedal including the pedal strap, which is easy to wear and comfortable in use.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a pedal strap, including: a belt body, including an abutting portion corresponding to a back of an instep and a protruding tongue connected to one side of the abutting portion in the width direction, the abutting portion The portion includes a first surface facing the instep, and the protruding tongue extends obliquely toward a side away from the first surface in the thickness direction of the abutting portion.

To achieve the above objective, the present invention further provides a pedal including the pedal strap as described above, and further includes: a body including a front side and a rear side, the pedal strap is arranged between the front side and the rear side, The first surface faces the body and the protruding tongue faces the rear side.

The following examples are only used to illustrate the possible implementation aspects of the present invention, but they are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention, and are described first.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, which show a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The pedal strap 1 of the present invention includes a belt body 10, including a supporting portion 11 for a corresponding instep, and a supporting portion connected to the supporting portion 11 11 of the tongue 12 on one side in the width direction W, the abutment portion 11 includes a first surface 111 for facing the instep, and the tongue 12 faces away from the first surface 111 in the thickness direction T of the abutment portion 11 One side of a surface 111 extends obliquely; the extending direction of the tongue 12 is oblique to the width direction W of the abutting portion 11. Thereby, when the pedal strap 1 is installed on a pedal 2, the tongue 12 can be used to correspond to the side with a higher instep height, which is convenient for wearing, moving and comfortable in use.

In this embodiment, the pedal strap 1 is an integrally formed single member, which has a simple structure, good strength and easy production; preferably, the tongue 12 is integrally bent from the abutting portion 11 to extend in an arc. The outer contour of the protruding tongue 12 extends in an arc shape, and the surface is smooth, easy to put on, and comfortable. In other embodiments, the protruding tongue and the abutting portion can also be connected to each other to form an integral body; the protruding tongue can also be connected to the abutting portion in a pivoting manner; the outer contour of the protruding tongue can also be configured in other shapes as required. 3, the extension length L1 of the tongue 12 is preferably at least 1/3 of the extension length L2 of the abutting portion 11; the maximum width W1 of the tongue 12 is preferably the maximum width of the abutment portion 11 At least 1/4 of W2, whereby the area of the protruding tongue 12 is larger and the force between it and the instep can be dispersed, and the comfort is better.

The abutting portion 11 further includes a second surface 112 opposite to the first surface 111. At least one of the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 is provided with at least one groove 113 so that the abutting portion 11 It is easy to deform to fit the instep. In this embodiment, both the first surface 111 and the second surface 112 are provided with the at least one groove 113; the depth of each groove 113 is not greater than 1/2 of the maximum thickness of the abutting portion 11, so that The abutting portion 11 is easy to flex and deform while maintaining proper strength and not easy to be damaged. Of course, the abutting portion can also be provided with at least one perforation, and the same effect can also be achieved.

The belt body 10 further includes a first buckling portion 13 and a second buckling portion 14 connected to two opposite sides in the length direction of the abutting portion 11, the first and second buckling portions 13, 14 They respectively extend obliquely toward a side away from the protruding tongue 12 in the width direction W. In this embodiment, the length direction of the abutting portion 11 defines A first extension line E1 and the length directions of the first and second buckling portions 13, 14 respectively define a second and a third extension line E2, E3, the first extension line E1 and each of the second and the first extension line E1 The angles between the three extension lines E2 and E3 are equal. Thereby, when the pedal strap 1 is installed on the pedal 2, the first surface 111 of the abutting portion 11 can be inclined relative to a stepping surface 21 of the pedal 2 in the width direction W, so that the belt body The radial dimension of the opening 22 surrounding the treading surface 21 and 10 is tapered toward the side away from the protruding tongue 12, so that the first surface 111 can stably abut the instep and avoid the user's foot Excessive displacement toward the front, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6. Of course, the angle between the first extension line and each of the second and third extension lines can also be set to be different according to configuration requirements. One of the first buckling portion 13 and the second buckling portion 14 includes at least one buckle hole 131 for buckling to a pedal 2, and the other includes a plurality of buckles for engaging with a buckle of the pedal 2. The clamping teeth 141 that reach the limit make it easy to adjust and position. Of course, the first and second buckling parts can also be connected with a plurality of the buckle holes, both of which are provided with the plurality of teeth, or at least one of them includes a hook and loop fastener, etc., which can be set to other buckles according to configuration requirements structure.

With reference to Figures 4 to 6, the present invention also provides a pedal 2, which includes the pedal strap 1 as described above, and further includes: a body 20, including a front side 23 and a rear side 24, the pedal harness The belt 1 is arranged between the front side 23 and the rear side 24, the first surface 111 faces the main body 20 and the tongue 12 faces the rear side 24. Thereby, the first surface 111 and the protruding tongue 12 can abut against the instep more stably, which is convenient for sleeve and has good comfort.
