Abstract
Provided is a horse-riding bicycle in which a horse-riding effect is obtained by performing both normal driving and horse-riding driving (swinging driving), a user is allowed to simply switch a driving mode between a normal driving mode and a horse-riding driving mode, and a horse-riding driving structure is improved to have a simple structure so that a reduction in costs is achieved and, further, a switching operation between the normal driving mode and the horse-riding driving mode is smoothly performed.
Claims4
A horse-riding bicycle comprising:
- a front hub installed in a front wheel of the bicycle and a rear hub installed in a rear wheel of the bicycle;
- each hub comprising a pair hub plates, each hub plate includes a longitudinal guide hole and a longitudinal roller hole, a first connection plate connected between the pair of hub plates forwardly of the longitudinal roller hole and a second connection plate connected between the pair of hub plates rearwardly the longitudinal roller hole, the first and second connection plates having a shaft hole formed therein,
- a pair of support plates that support a hub shaft connected to a fork are connected together by a connection plate and which are movably assembled inwardly the guide holes between the pair of hub plates;
- each hub plate comprising guide plates which are respectively attached to inner upper portions and inner lower portions of the hub plate and guide movement of the hub;
- a screw rod which is fixed to the connection plate that is connecting the pair of support plates together and is disposed in center portions of the shaft holes;
- a movement roller which is installed in the shaft holes such that both ends of the movement roller are rotatable in a state where the movement roller is thread-joined to the screw rod and an outer surface of the movement roller protrudes outside the hub through the roller hole and moves the hub to a position of a normal driving mode or a horse-riding driving mode by rotating in a normal direction or a reverse direction;
- left and right fixing rings which are disposed in an outer side of the hub and include pads of which inner surfaces selectively come into contact with the movement roller;
- left and right operation members which are installed in the fork and selectively cause the left and right fixing rings to come into close contact with the movement roller;
- and
- a pair of switching members which are installed in handles on both sides of the bicycle and respectively pull or release the left and right operation members through wires.
