Claims1
A hydraulic coupling mechanism for bicycles comprising:
- at least a pair of opposed spaced apart channel members;
- a rectangular member having a pair of opposed sides which are disposed slidably along said opposed channel members and a pair of opposed free sides, said rectangular member having a generally elliptical opening at the middle thereof;
- a drive shaft disposed normally through said elliptical opening in said rectangular member;
- means for rotating said drive shaft;
- a cam disposed eccentrically on said drive shaft and within said elliptical opening to reciprocate said rectangular member upon rotation of said shaft;
- a pair of transmitting hydraulic cylinders disposed in close proximity to the opposed free sides of said rectangular member, each of siad transmitting hydraulic cylinders having a corresponding piston rod the outer end of which is connected to the adjacent free opposed side of said rectangular member;
- a pair of hydraulic receiving cylinders operably and synchronously connected to said transmitting hydraulic cylinders each of said hydraulic receiving cylinders having a corresponding piston rod;
- and
- a crankshaft operably connected to said piston rods of said hydraulic receiving cylinders, said crankshaft serving as the shaft of the rear wheel of said bicycle.
