  • the invention relates to a human-powered vehicle, in particular a human-powered vehicle which is drivable by using both feet and hands.
  • the invention further relates to a driving and steering assembly for a human-powered vehicle or vessel.
  • a human-powered vehicle usually comprises a frame, a front wheel and at least one rear wheel.
  • the front wheel is rotatable about a horizontal axis for riding and pivotable about a substantially vertical axis for steering.
  • the at least one rear wheel is rotatable relative to the frame about a horizontal rotation axis for riding only.
  • the front wheel is connected to a steer that is operable by the hands of a user, and the rear wheel is driven by the feet, usually using a chain-drive arranged between the frame and the at least one rear wheel.
  • the hands/arms have to perform two functions at the same time.
  • the hands have to steer the front wheel about a substantially vertical axis, and the vehicle has to be driven by hand such that the front wheel and rear wheel rotate about their respective horizontal rotation axes, wherein preferably the driving operation is not interfering with the steering operation.
  • One way to cope with this problem is to use the feet to drive the rear wheel and the hands to drive the front wheel.
  • the entire driving mechanism for the front wheel will rotate along with the front wheel during steering, the two operations do not interfere with each other, see for examples US 201 1/018220 A1 and US5908199A.
  • the steering function of the hands is taken over by the body of the user, e.g. the head or upper body of a user as is shown in DE102009019138 and US 2007/145708A1.
  • a disadvantage of separately driving the front and rear wheel is that the trajectories of the front wheel and the rear wheel do not necessary have to be equal, so that asynchronous driving of the front and rear wheel is the result. - -
  • DE19606772A1 , DE10317206A1 and DE102008054168A1 (extendable) bars and respective hinges are provided between either the steer and the chain-drive or between the steer and the front wheel in order to couple the steering possibility to the driving possibility.
  • this results in large, complex and fragile structures that have to withstand relatively large forces.
  • DE102008054168 this also results in a non-traditional way of steering as the steer is pivoted about a horizontal pivot axis to pivot the front wheel about a substantially vertical pivot axis.
  • a human-powered vehicle in which a steer and handle bar are provided that implement both the steering function and the driving function and provides power to the rear wheels.
  • the vehicle is equipped with bevel gears to transfer the driving rotation of the steer about a horizontal axis to a shaft having a rotation axis parallel with the pivot axis of the steering column, so that a steering pivotal motion will not interfere with the driving rotation.
  • Other bevel gears are provided to transfer the rotation of said shaft to the rear wheels eventually.
  • a disadvantage of the bevel gears is that steering of the front wheel results in asynchronous driving of the rear wheel due to the steering rotation.
  • Another disadvantage of the bevel gears is that a set of bevel gears extends significantly in three directions and thus needs to be designed small in order to reduce the amount of space required and to reduce the weight.
  • a well-known alternative driving arrangement uses chain-drives which have a small thickness compared to the length and width and thus only significantly extend in two directions.
  • chain-drives have the disadvantage that they are not easy to be implemented when two rotational movements, i.e. steering and driving, are required that are substantially perpendicular to each other.
  • a chain-drive is here understood to comprise two gears with an endless chain provided in between and around the two gears so that rotation of one gear causes the other gear to rotate as well due to the chain. It is an object of the invention to provide an improved human-powered vehicle which is driven by hand and by feet using both a chain-drive for the feet drive and a chain-drive for the hand drive while, at the same time, the hands are able to steer the vehicle. This object is achieved by a human-powered vehicle according to claim 1.
  • An advantage of a vehicle according to the invention is that the secondary chain-drive does not have to pivot during steering.
  • the steering and driving axle can be positioned in different angular positions for steering the vehicle, while still being able to, at the same time, transmit a continuous rotational movement of the steering and driving axle about the longitudinal axis of the axle via the inner member to the outer member and thus to the secondary chain-drive.
  • Another advantage of the driving and steering assembly is that the construction and design can be compact and rigid, so that the assembly does not occupy too much space and is able to withstand and transmit the relatively large driving forces in combination with the steering forces.
  • AU2007/203319A1 discloses a driving and steering assembly in which the steer is able to be pivoted in two perpendicularly oriented directions, one for steering and one for driving.
  • a reciprocal movement of the steer is transferred to a chain-drive using a flexible cable or rigid shaft.
  • a continuous rotation allows for a movement of the arms/hands which is synchronizable with the movement of the legs/feet, and which is more fluently.
  • the ability to synchronize the movement of the arms/hands with the movement of the legs/feet further allows to closely mimic the forward motion of a tetrapod.
  • the invention further allows the chain-drive to be more closely connected to the steering and driving axle as it can directly be connected to the outer member.
  • the movement of the arms/hands and the feet during driving of the vehicle are synchronized by providing a secondary chain-drive in series with the primary chain-drive, i.e. the secondary chain-drive is indirectly driving the rear wheel via the primary chain-drive, which may mean that a gear of the primary chain-drive and a gear of the secondary chain-drive are mounted on a common axle, and wherein both gears of the secondary chain-drive have the same size/effective diameter.
  • the crankset arranged on the steering and driving axle is configured to move between a position in line with the longitudinal axis of the steering and driving axle and a position perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the steering and driving axle to allow the user to choose/switch respectively between a driving and steering assembly that allows steering only and a driving and steering assembly that allows both steering and driving.

  • one crank may be fixed to the steering and driving axle via hand operable fixing and releasing means, so that the crank may be released from the steering and driving axle to be fixed in another angular position relative to the steering and driving axle.
  • This allows for instance to rotate said crank about the longitudinal axis of the steering and driving axle such that both cranks extend in the same direction from the steering and driving axle. This may be advantageous when the steering and driving axle is only used for steering purposes and not for driving purposes.
  • the cranks can be locked in a certain position in order to prevent the cranks from rotating and inadvertently driving the second chain-drive.
  • This locking of the cranks is preferably also operable by hand. More preferably, the locking and or operation of the fixing and releasing means can be done without having to lift the hands of the handlebars of the steering and driving axle.

  • One crank is provided with an opening or hole at one end of the crank which has a shape that is complementary to the square cross-section of the steering and driving axle. It is then possible to attach the crank at four different angular positions to the portion of the steering and driving axle having the square cross-section.
  • the fixing and releasing means may be a pin/hole combination, wherein one of the pin or hole is provided on the steering and driving axle and the other one of the pin or hole is provided on the crank.

  • the crank can be moved sideways to the portion of the steering and driving axle having a circular cross-section so that the crank can be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the steering and driving axle to another angular position corresponding to the four sides of the square cross-section. Locking of the crank in the other position can be done by again making use of a pin/hole combination.
