Structure of mechanism |
Function |
The studied mecanism is a folding bike, which allows easy transport and saves space. It folds around two axes : one vertical, on the center bar of the bicycle, and the other at the handlebars. This allows positioning of the handlebars to the frama parallelism, always to save space. |
Comment |
Authors : Romain GUINOT based on a model of I Artobolevski book. Modified by : Miguel PEREZ BORRAJO IFMA (French Institute for Advanced Mechanics) - http://www.ifma.fr Clermont-Ferrand, FRANCE This model was generated to explain a certain patent in more detail. The model and all attached items were made within this context. |
