Description

La présente invention concerne un nouveau type de tricycle motorisé pour le déplacement individuel des handicapés physiques ainsi que de leurs fauteuils roulants. The present invention relates to a new type of motorized tricycle for the individual movement of the physically handicapped and their wheelchairs.

Ce véhicule est d'une conception nouvelle, il s'adresse en priorité aux handicapés mais il peut égalemnt entre équipé pour le sport - les loisirs - le travail des personnes dites valides. This vehicle is of a new design, it is primarily intended for the disabled but it can also be equipped for sport - leisure - the work of so-called able-bodied people.

L'objectif principal est donc d'apporter le maximum d'individualité, d'autonomie aux handicapes sans que ceux-ci soient isolés par l'absence de leurs fauteuils. The main objective is therefore to bring the maximum of individuality, autonomy to the handicapped without these being isolated by the absence of their armchairs.

L'idée inovatrice est le transport latéral du fauteuil roulant par un véhicule léger motorisé possédant 3 roues 1 avant directrice - 2 roues arrière motrices. La technique du transport latéral du fauteuil roulant n'étant pas encore exploitée cette réalisation apportera aux handicapés une plus grande individualité pour leurs déplacements. The innovative idea is the lateral transport of the wheelchair by a light motorized vehicle having 3 wheels 1 front steering - 2 rear driving wheels. The technique of lateral transport of the wheelchair not being yet exploited this realization will bring to the handicapped a greater individuality for their displacements.

Sa conception part donc d'un chassis tubulaire m6canosou- dé (1) spécialement étudié pour permettre un déport de l'axe de direction. De ce fait le poste de conduite (2) étant déplacé cela apportera une surface latérale (3) suffisammant importante pour y charger un fauteuil roulant plié1 ou un second siège ou un petit caisson pour le transport. Its design therefore starts from a tubular mechanically welded chassis (1) specially designed to allow the steering axis to be offset. Therefore the driving position (2) being moved this will provide a sufficient lateral surface (3) to load a folded wheelchair1 or a second seat or a small box for transport.

I1 est à noter que la partie avant du chassis (4) doit être formé par cintrage donc l'emploi de tubes ronds s'impose. It should be noted that the front part of the chassis (4) must be formed by bending, therefore the use of round tubes is essential.

L'essieu arrière (5) est soudé sur le chassie pour permettre une rigidité plus importante de l'ensemble. The rear axle (5) is welded to the frame to allow greater rigidity of the assembly.

Cet essieu reçoit donc à ses extrdmités les 2 bras de suspension (6) (7) articulés sur des bagues nylon. This axle therefore receives at its ends the 2 suspension arms (6) (7) articulated on nylon rings.

Ces deux bras sont de longueurs inégales. En effet l'un deux (7) assurera le déport afin de pouvoir trouver la surface utile au transport du fauteuil roulant. These two arms are of unequal length. Indeed one of them (7) will ensure the offset in order to be able to find the area useful for transporting the wheelchair.

Aux extrémités de ces bras de suspension (6) (7) viennent se fixer en (8) les ensembles moyeux - tambours - freins. At the ends of these suspension arms (6) (7) are fixed in (8) the hubs - drums - brakes assemblies.

Sur les articulations de ces mêmes bras de suspension des leviers (9) sont soudes Ces leviers sont ainsi positionnés pour permettre la fixation des amortisseurs (10). Ces amortisseurs seront ensuite reliés au chassis en (11). On the articulations of these same suspension arms, the levers (9) are welded. These levers are thus positioned to allow the shock absorbers (10) to be fixed. These shock absorbers will then be connected to the chassis in (11).

Sur les fixations (12) viendra s'installer un faux chassie permettant l'adaptation de l'ensemble moteur bote inverseur de marche ainsi que tous les equipements électrique - mecani- que - réservoir à carburant. On the fasteners (12) will be installed a dummy frame allowing the adaptation of the gearbox gearbox motor assembly as well as all the electrical - mechanical - fuel tank equipment.

La partie arrière du chassis recevra un langeron de renfort (13) pour y fixer le pare choc ainsi que les supports pour la carrosserie. The rear part of the chassis will receive a reinforcement strip (13) to fix the bumper as well as the supports for the bodywork.

Le langeron avant (14) recevra également des supports pour la carrosserie. Il sera aussi utilisé pour supporter le système d'articulation (15) de la rampe de chargement du fauteuil (16). Cette rampe est recouverte d'une plaque d'aluminium striée. La rampe s'articulera sur les paliers (17), sa manoeuvre pourra se faire soit à la main soit par un système électromécanique connu, agissant sur le levier (18). La rampe sera en position basse pour charger le fauteuil. Après chargement celle ci sera relevée et la partie recourbée (19) servira à immobiliser le fauteuil pendant son transport. The front langeron (14) will also receive supports for the bodywork. It will also be used to support the articulation system (15) of the chair loading ramp (16). This ramp is covered with a ridged aluminum plate. The ramp will be articulated on the bearings (17), it may be maneuvered either by hand or by a known electromechanical system, acting on the lever (18). The ramp will be in the low position to load the chair. After loading it will be raised and the curved part (19) will serve to immobilize the chair during its transport.

Le fourreau (20) recevra une direction (21) déjà existante sur le marché. Celle ci sera du genre scooter. The sheath (20) will receive a direction (21) already existing on the market. This one will be like a scooter.

La motorisation de ce véhicule pourra être réalisée avec un moteur thermique 49,9 cm3 ou un moteur électrique d'une tension de 12 volts. This vehicle could be powered by a 49.9 cc heat engine or an electric motor with a voltage of 12 volts.

L'inversion de la marche pourra être commandée mécaniquement à l'aide d'un levier sous le siège du conducteur ou par un système électromécanique commandé à partir du poste de conduite, plus précisemment du tableau de bord (22). Reverse gear can be controlled mechanically using a lever under the driver's seat or by an electromechanical system controlled from the driver's seat, more precisely from the dashboard (22).

Le freinage sur les roues arrières se fera à l'aide de tambours et segments Ferodo. Il sera hydraulique pour l'utilisation routière - une commande manuelle sera utilisée pour le frein de parking. Braking on the rear wheels will be done using Ferodo drums and segments. It will be hydraulic for road use - a manual control will be used for the parking brake.

Le poste de conduite est constitué d'un guidon (24) réglable en différentes positions. Sur ce guidon est fixée une console tableau de bord (22) comprenant un compteur kilométriqueles divers témoins et les commandes électriques.  The driving position consists of a handlebar (24) adjustable in different positions. On this handlebar is fixed a dashboard console (22) comprising an odometer various indicators and the electric controls.
