Embodiment Construction

[0042]The principles and operation of a recyclable cardboard bicycle according to the present invention may be better understood with reference to the drawings and the accompanying description.

[0043]Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates an assembled recyclable bicycle [A] featuring a frame [B] a pedal-crank drivetrain [C], a hub arrangement [D], wheels [E], fork [F] and hinge [G]. In addition a cardboard handlebar [1a] is attached to for [F] and a cardboard seat [1b] is detachably attached to frame [B]. The bicycle is constructed from honeycomb cardboard with cardboard and / or PET components. The bicycle as depicted is capable of supporting the weight of at least 200 Kg.

[0044]FIG. 2 illustrates the frame [B]of the embodiment of FIG. 1. The frame is formed by bending a linerboard sheet into a U-shaped construct with side boards [2a] of equal length and filled with honeycomb cardboard filler. The transverse U-shaped cross-section is designed to support a significant weight,...

Abstract

A human powered land vehicle sufficiently rigid so as to transport a human rider constructed only from pulpably recyclable and shreddably recyclable materials.

Description

FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a recyclable velocipede and, more particularly, to a bicycle made from honeycomb cardboard or corrugated honeycomb cardboard, with various polyethylene terephthalate (PET) components.[0002]Typically, bicycles and children's vehicles (tricycles, ‘scooters’, etc.) are constructed from durable, lightweight materials which are not easily recycled. Steel, plastic, rubber and numerous other materials are combined together to provide a comfortable, utilitarian vehicle for recreational use. The final products range from the moderately priced to the very expensive. Typically, such vehicles are purchased and kept until they become unusable, either due to damage or no longer being age appropriate. At this point the vehicle is usually discarded, destined to take its place in some unnamed landfill.[0003]The current invention provides a lightweight, durable and fully recyclable bicycle. The embodiments depicted here-below...
