Description

Double Shifting Pedal for Motorcycle
The present invention relates to a double shifting pedal for a motorcycle.
Motorcycles today, as in the past, are designed with a manual gear box, i.e. not an automatic one, with a clutch. There is a shifting pedal which is activated by the foot which is used as a sort of "jack" for shifting the gears. When the first gear is in the upward position (and not in the downward position as is the case in certain types of motorcycles), the rest of the gears are in the downward position (and not in the upward position as in the case of said certain types of motorcycles). While kicking the shifting pedal upwards and/or downwards, a gear is being shifted in the motorcycle by pressing on the handle which is on the clutch. On the face of it, it appears that the shifting pedal remains in the same position. However while riding, when a rider, e.g. motorcycle operator wishes to shift to a higher gear and/or a lower gear, the foot has to perform a sort of diversionary movement so as to remain above the shifting pedal and/or below it, in order to raise and/or lower a gear. Said diversionary movement is time-consuming and requires concentration during riding the motorcycle, especially during motorcycle racing. During a motorcycle race, in which the final finishing time is in essence the most important feature of the race, saving just a fraction of a second by one action may afford the advantage necessary to win. The motorcycle operator must perform diversionary movements very many times during a motorcycle race, i.e. he must often shift the gear either upward or downward. Therefore the skill and coordination required by the motorcycle operator in shifting the gear efficiently and quickly during a motorcycle race is critical.
There are known various solutions for the above problem such as the ones described in:
WO 2005/100143 describes a foot operated gear-shift assembly, gear shift conversion kit, and method for converting the shifting gears of a conventional motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle and like vehicle wherein the heel and toe shift elements of the conventional rocker-arm gear shift assembly are separated and pivot about separate pivot axes. Said assembly is complicated and requires modifications to the body of the motorcycle. Furthermore it is not comfortable from the standpoint of human engineering.
US 5,661 ,999 describes a motorcycle shift pedal assembly to shift gears in a transmission upward or downward by using downward foot pressure for either up-shifting or down-shifting, wherein there is a pair of shift pedals linked by a lever assembly to move a shift lever and in turn a rod to the transmission in order to shift gears. This invention requires technological modifications to the body of the motorcycle and is not comfortable from the standpoint of human engineering.
US 2005/230209A describes a motorcycle transmission shifting mechanism including a foot-operated gearshift assembly provided with a pedal and cam subassembly, displaceable relative to one another to establish a desired speed-ratio position, and a hand-operated clutch release mechanism operative to release a clutch for shifting through multiple speed-ratio positions. This invention requires technological modifications to the body of the motorcycle and is not comfortable from the standpoint of human engineering.
US 6,394,214B describes a motorcycle shifting arrangement connected to the transmission of the motorcycle for shifting the transmission between a higher gear and a lower gear. The motorcycle includes an original shifting structure having an original shifting pedal pivotally mounted on an original pivot shaft coupled to the transmission at a location adjacent to a foot rest attached to a bottom portion of the motorcycle. A supplementary shifting structure is constructed and arranged to permit alternative shifting of the motorcycle while the motorcycle operator has his or her legs in a raised, extended position resting upon a highway peg attached to a supporting structure at a forward location of the motorcycle. Said shift control is designed for the comfort of the motorcycle operator. However it does not solve the present problem. Moreover it is complicated.
In view of the above, all known patents are complicated to manufacture, i.e. they are rather expensive and/or are more difficult and slower to produce, and/or are composed of several parts and/or elements, and/or do not have the required properties.
It is thus desirable to design a shifting pedal or the like which overcomes the above drawbacks, at the same time will be simple to manufacture and to use, and most importantly will result in fast operation of the motorcycle.
The shifting pedal of the present invention may be also a shifter pedal, a kickstand or the like. However for easy reference it will be regarded as a shifting pedal.
The present invention thus relates to a double shifting pedal for a motorcycle, which consists of two shifting pedals.
In a further embodiment of the present invention the two shifting pedals are selected from among two shifting pedals having the same form or two shifting pedals having different forms.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the two shifting pedals are connected to each other preferably at their end. Furthermore, said double shifting pedal is connected to the motorcycle at the original shifting pedal location, preferably at the connecting point of the two shifting pedals. However, the invention is not restricted to said embodiment.
Each shifting pedal of the present invention may be an ordinary shifting pedal or the like, e.g. consisting of a rod, a stick, a pole, a pipe, a bar, a shaft, a post, a beam etc., said shifting pedal being provided with a location for the foot. Said location for the foot may be part of the shifting pedal per se or an additional surface. Said surface is preferably at the front position of each shifting pedal, i.e. of the rod or the like.
The surface for locating the foot may be in any form which is suitable for the foot. Said form may be selected inter alia from among a square form, a rectangular form, a triangular form, a trapezoidal form, a circular form etc.
The surface may be part of the shifting element, e.g. of the rod or the like, or it may be a separate unit connected thereto.
The double shifting pedal may be connected to the motorcycle and/or the surface may be connected to the shifting pedal by any connecting method such as a by screwing, by welding etc.
The double shifting pedal may be manufactured from any suitable rigid or semi-rigid material such as a metal, e.g. aluminium etc., a rigid plastic, e.g. ABS etc. or combinations thereof.
In view of the above, the present invention results, inter alia in an uncomplicated double shifting pedal which is inexpensive to manufacture and simple to use.
The present invention further relates to the use of the double shifting pedal for shifting gears.
The present method relates also to a method for using the double shifting pedal by pressing one shifting pedal at a time for shifting gears, i.e. one shifting pedal for shifting the gears upward and the other shifting pedal for shifting the gears downward.
The present invention also relates to a motorcycle having a double shifting pedal.
The present invention will now be illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings without being limited by them. (Identical parts appearing in several drawings will be marked for sake of clarity by the same numerals). Said drawings illustrate the following features:
Fig. 1 shows a side view of an existing gear's shifting pedal;
Fig. 2 shows a side view of a double gear shifting pedal according to the present invention;
Fig. 3 shows a side view of a foot, which is illustrated by a shoe, under the existing shifting pedal in order to shift the gear downward;
Fig. 4 shows a side view the foot, which is illustrated by a shoe, above the existing shifting pedal in order to shift the gear upward; and
