Abstract
A mechanical system designed to convert, by means of the use of cranks or levers, the force expressed by a user into a driving torque applied to a drive shaft by converting the reciprocating motion of the cranks into a circular motion. The mechanical system of the invention makes it possible to generate effective torque on the employed cranks either with a force applied simultaneously to the cranks or with a force applied alternately to the cranks, where the applied force can be a pulling force or a pushing force.
Claims21
A device for transmitting a driving torque comprising:
- a shaft;
- a crown wheel associated with said shaft;
- a first crank connected to a first transmission element;
- a second crank connected to a second transmission element;
- a first unidirectional joint connected to said first crank;
- a second unidirectional joint connected to said second crank, said unidirectional joints being adapted to lock said cranks with said shaft when said cranks are actuated by a user in a predetermined direction and are such to disengage said cranks from said shaft when said cranks are actuated in the opposite direction with respect to said predetermined direction;
- a torque transmitter which connects said second crank to said second transmission element, said torque transmitter being adapted to bypass said crown wheel so as to avoid interfering with the movement of said crown wheel during the movement of said cranks;
- a reversing element comprising a kinematic mechanism adapted to engage with said first transmission element and said second transmission element and adapted to force said cranks to rotate in opposite directions,
- characterized in that said kinematic motion is of the parallel axis type and adapted to supply continuous driving torque to said shaft and said crown wheel during the movement of said cranks.
