Description

[0001] Driving device with guide rod

[0002] The invention relates to a driving device according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0003] The invention relates to a riding device for children comprising a standing area, at least one front wheel articulated in the front region of the standing area via a front chassis support, at least one rear wheel articulated in the rear region of the standing area via a rear chassis support, which riding device is moved in a direction of travel, wherein the at least one rear chassis support and the at least one front chassis support are connected by a chassis.

[0004] In particular, in the case of a one-piece design of at least two elements comprising a standing surface, chassis supports, chassis, mounting device and brake, the elements mentioned are fluid in the case of scooters according to the prior art or in the subject matter of the invention and therefore cannot be clearly identified by a person skilled in the art.

[0005] The vehicle can be, for example, a kickboard or a scooter. The standing surface can be designed as a chassis, which provides a static connection between the chassis supports. The exact design of the standing surface and the chassis has no influence on the invention disclosed here.

[0006] Such a driving device is known, for example, from W02017045002A1 .

[0007] The standing surface can be designed, for example, as a plate or some other geometric shape. Such a vehicle with a holding surface and thus a standing surface designed as a plate is described, for example, in patent application PCT / EP2023 / 062146.

[0008] Known in the art are kick scooters with a seat assembly, on which a guide rod is arranged for controlling the scooter by a person standing behind the scooter. EP2996928A2, for example, shows such a kick scooter.

[0009] CN209719703 , in particular Figure 1 discloses a scooter in which a rod as a guide rod for a person walking behind the scooter is arranged via a further console at the front end of the chassis.

[0010] FR3018260 describes a scooter with a seat attached to its handlebar. A guide rod is located at the free end of the seat.

[0011] CN207045546, in particular Figure 1, and CN217260472, Figure 8, disclose a scooter with a seat attached to its handlebar. A guide rod is attached to this seat.

[0012] The documents WO 2017193166 A1, CN 205524404 U, CN 209454926 U, DE 202011051444 U1, IT UB20155519 A1, US 2005057012 A1, CN 105539669 A, CN 103895683 B, and FR 3018260 A1 show a vehicle with a support device that forms a raised portion above the standing surface. These documents contain no reference to a one-piece design of the support device and the rear wheel brake. In the documents mentioned WO 2017193166 A1, CN 205524404 U, CN 209454926 U, DE 202011051444 U1, IT UB20155519 A1, US 2005057012 A1, CN 105539669 A, CN 103895683 B, FR 3018260 A1, the guide rod is connected to the standing surface and to the seating device or to another component, so that there is a bearing at two points (standing surface and seating device or other component).

[0013] Connecting the guide rod to the step surface or the chassis and to another element of the vehicle such as the seat has the disadvantage that the guide rod is restricted to the use of the other element such as the seat.

[0014] A guide rod connected to a seat assembly of a scooter has the disadvantage, from a static point of view, that the guide rod is connected to the seat assembly as a cantilevered element. Furthermore, a rod as described below can only be used as a guide rod as long as the scooter includes a seat assembly.

[0015] The invention disclosed here addresses the problem of connecting the guide bar to the ride-on device in such a way that the ride-on device can be adapted to the child's abilities and the correspondingly required support. This problem includes the possibility of arranging the guide bar on the ride-on device in an arrangement of the ride-on device elements for a child standing and holding onto the handlebar, as well as for a child sitting on a seat.

[0016] According to the invention, this problem is solved by claim 1 (first approach to a solution) or claim 2 (second approach to a solution) or claim 3 (third approach to a solution). The further claims relate to advantageous embodiments. The first approach to a solution is characterized in that a recess is arranged near the rear region of the standing surface as a receiving device for receiving a rod as a guide rod, to which receiving device a connected end of the guide rod is connected and from which receiving device the guide rod extends in a cantilever manner, the free end of the rod received by the receiving device being arranged as a guide rod higher than the standing surface and / or in a projection from above behind or above the rear wheel, so that the vehicle can be controlled by a person located behind the vehicle via the rod as a guide rod.

[0017] The second approach is characterized in that a receiving device for receiving a rod as a guide rod is arranged near the rear area of ​​the standing area and / or the chassis, wherein the chassis and / or the standing area has a recess through which the receiving device extends, wherein the free end of the rod received by the receiving device is arranged as a guide rod (10) higher than the standing area and / or in a projection from above behind or above the rear wheel, so that the vehicle can be controlled by a person located behind the vehicle via the rod as a guide rod.

[0018] The first approach is also based on the basic idea that a recess is formed in the standing surface and / or in the chassis for arranging the receiving device. This approach also includes the receiving device being inserted through the recess in the

[0019] Standing surface and / or in the chassis and no further workpiece is arranged in the recess to form the receiving device.

[0020] The recess in the base ensures that, when the guide rod is removed, the entire base can be used as a stand. The recess for the holder, or for the formation of the recess for the holder, must be sufficiently small so that it is not obstructive. In particular, the recess must be small enough that a child cannot get a part of its body caught in the recess.

[0021] The recess in the chassis ensures that the guide rod is inserted into a supporting element of the driving device, which supporting element is or can be dimensioned sufficiently strong as a standard element so that it can absorb the forces introduced via the guide rod.

[0022] The first approach has the technical effect that the mounting device is flush with the upper surface of the standing surface or the upper surface of the chassis. The mounting device does not form a raised area above the standing surface or the chassis.

[0023] The chassis extends, among other things, between the at least one front wheel and the at least one rear wheel.

[0055] A driving device with a seat / holding element is described, for example, in EP3240723B1 and in the documents cited as prior art to EP3240723B1.

[0056] The driving device according to the invention can be characterized in that the driving device can be steered by means of a rotary steering system or a weight-shift steering system or by means of a rotary weight-shift steering system.

[0057] Possible examples of driving devices are mentioned above. These can be controlled by means of a rotary steering or a weight-shift steering or a rotary weight-shift steering as per the state of the art.

[0058] technology known to be controlled. If the mentioned

[0059] If the driving device does not include such a steering system, the specialist can add such a steering system to the driving device.

[0060] The invention also relates to a guide rod or a receiving device or a combination of a guide rod and a receiving device, which guide rod or receiving device or which guide rod in combination with the receiving device is designed for arrangement on the vehicle, wherein the arrangement meets the features of the above description and / or claims 1 to 14.

[0061] The invention also relates to a footrest for arrangement on a vehicle as described above or on a vehicle having a standing surface, at least one front wheel articulated in the front region of the standing surface via a front chassis support, and at least one rear wheel articulated in the rear region of the standing surface via a rear chassis support. The at least one rear chassis support and the at least one front chassis support are connected by a chassis.

[0062] The driving device is moved in one direction. The driving device may include a steering mechanism for changing the direction of travel.

[0063] The driving device according to the invention can be characterized in that the chassis comprises at least one chassis recess, which chassis recess extends from a chassis upper side to a chassis lower side, wherein an upper footrest fastening element is introduced over the chassis upper side and a lower footrest fastening element is introduced into the chassis recess up to a stop, which footrest fastening elements are connected by a mechanical connecting means, on which lower footrest fastening element a footrest is arranged.

[0064] The footrest fastening elements can each have a stop, which limits the insertion of the respective footrest fastening element into the chassis recess. It is also conceivable for the chassis recess to include a stop to limit the insertion of the footrest fastening elements.

[0065] The at least one stop ensures that the footrest fastening elements can be clamped in the chassis recess by the connecting means.

[0066] The footrest fastening elements preferably have a shape that fits into the chassis recess.

[0067] The footrest can be formed integrally with the lower footrest fastening element.

[0100] Regarding Figure 1:

[0101] Figure 1 shows a view of a possible

[0102] Embodiment of the kick scooter according to the invention as a special form of a vehicle according to the invention. The vehicle can, for example, comprise a kickboard known from the prior art, which kickboard comprises a standing surface 1, a chassis support 4, 5, and wheels 6, 7.

[0103] The riding device according to the invention comprises two front wheels 6 articulated to the front region 2 of the standing surface 1 via a front chassis support 4 and a single rear wheel 7 articulated to the rear region 3 of the standing surface 1 via a rear chassis support 5. Other numbers of front wheels 6 and / or rear wheels 7 are also conceivable, as is known from the prior art for riding devices other than a kickboard. The front region 2 and the rear region 3 can be the front end and the rear end of the standing surface 1, respectively.

[0104] Furthermore, the rear chassis support 4 and the front chassis support 5 are connected by a one-piece chassis 8 without joints arranged in the chassis. It is conceivable that the chassis 8 and the standing surface 1 are designed as one piece or as separate elements. The design of the standing surface 1 and the chassis 8 has no influence on the invention disclosed here. Only a static connection between the

[0105] Chassis supports 4 , 5 are manufactured .

[0106] Normally, the scooter is moved in the direction of travel 30. The scooter can comprise a rear wheel 7 and two front wheels 6. The at least one front wheel 6 can be steerable via a steering mechanism. The front wheels 6 can be steered via a weight-shift steering system or a rotary steering system or a rotary weight-shift steering system. In addition to the elements of a conventional scooter, the riding device according to the invention comprises a receiving device 9. The standing area 1 and / or the chassis 8 comprises, near its rear region 3, a receiving device 9 for receiving a rod as a guide rod 10. The guide rod 10 is connected to the riding device exclusively via the receiving device 9. The receiving device 9 allows a cantilevered connection of the guide rod 10 to the chassis and / or the standing area 1.

[0107] The guide rod 10 comprises a connected end 12, which connected end 12 is connected to the receiving device 9, and a free end 11. The free end 11 of the rod as guide rod 10 is higher than the standing surface 1 and, in a projection from above - seen in the direction of travel - is arranged behind the rear wheel 7. Through this arrangement of the guide rod 10, in particular of the free end 11 of the guide rod 10 to the vehicle, in particular the rear wheel 7 and the standing surface 1, it is achieved that the vehicle can be controlled by a person located behind the vehicle via the rod as guide rod 10. The person can, for example, walk behind the vehicle or to the side of it and grasp the guide rod 10 with at least one hand.

[0108] This gives each person the opportunity to control the vehicle.

[0109] There is no seat or container attached to the pole.

[0110] In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the guide rod 10 is rod-shaped, thus designed as a rectilinear element. The rod as guide rod 10 extends, in particular, in a projection from above parallel to a longitudinal axis 13 of the standing surface 1. The rod as guide rod 10 is inclined upwards from its end 12 connected to the receiving device. Thus, the free end 11 of the rod is higher and, viewed in the direction of travel, is arranged behind the connected end 12.

[0111] The rod can be designed telescopically. The rod designed as a guide rod 10 can, equivalent to the straight shape of the guide rod 10 shown in Figure 1, also have an arcuate shape or other shape, which shapes are not shown in Figure 1.

[0112] It is advantageous for controlling in particular the direction and speed of the driving device via the guide rod 10 that the receiving device 9 is arranged adjacent to and at a distance from a rear wheel axle of the rear wheel 7.

[0113] Figure 1 shows an example of an embodiment in which the receiving device 9 is spaced apart from the rear wheel axle of the rear wheel 7 in the direction of travel 30.

[0114] There are basically two possible embodiments of the design of the receiving device 9 to the chassis 8. The receiving device 9 and the chassis 8 can, for example, be made from a cast part and thus in one piece. The receiving device 9 can also be mechanically connected to the chassis 8. This mechanical connection can, for example, be made via pin-shaped connecting means such as screws or rivets or a snap-in connection. In both

[0115] In some embodiments, a standing surface 1 extending above the chassis 8 preferably has a suitable recess 23, through which recess 23 the receiving device 9 or the guide rod 10 or the adapter described below preferably extend.

[0116] The rod can comprise a handle 14 at its free end 11. Figure 1 shows, by way of example, the design of the handle 14 as a crossbar, although other shapes, such as an elliptical or spherical shape, are also conceivable. The shape of the handle 14 has no direct influence and no technical effect on the connection of the rod as a guide rod 10 to the chassis 8.

[0117] The rod, as a guide rod 10, is connected to the receiving device 9, preferably via a detachable mechanical connection. The user can thus arrange the guide rod 10 on the driving device or remove it from it, depending on the use of the driving device and requirements. The mechanical connection preferably comprises an actuating element 15, 16 for releasing the mechanical connection. It is fundamentally conceivable for the rod to comprise such an actuating element 15 and / or for the receiving device 9 to comprise such an actuating element 16. Releasing the mechanical connection may require the actuation of at least one actuating element 15, 16 or, if appropriate, both actuating elements 15, 16. Both actuating elements 15, 16 are shown in Figure 1 as examples.

[0118] A ride-on device for children can be characterized by being adapted to the child's needs, particularly to their motor skills. The embodiment shown in Figure 1 can also allow such adaptation.

[0119] Figure 1 shows a ride with a seat / holding element 18 known from the prior art, which seat / holding element 18 is connected via a further receiving device 17. The seat / holding element 18 assists a person in remaining seated on the ride according to the invention. The seat / holding element 18 has no direct functional relationship to the receiving device 9 or a guide rod 10 inserted into the receiving device 9.

[0120] The seat / holding element 18 together with the handle or the standing surface 1 can be used as an actuating element for the weight-shift steering or the rotary weight-shift steering. With both the weight-shift steering and the rotary weight-shift steering, the vehicle is tilted, thus achieving steering of the front wheels 6. Such an inclination about the tilting axis of the vehicle can be achieved by actuating the guide rod.

[0121] The vehicle preferably comprises, in the region of the front end 2 of the standing surface 1, a further receiving device 17, which further receiving device 17 is suitable for receiving the rod in a vertical or nearly vertical position, for example, as a holding rod 19 or handlebar. A child standing on the standing surface 1 can hold on to the holding rod.

[0122] Regarding Figure 2:

[0123] Figure 2 shows the driving device with the rod inserted into the further receiving device 17 as a holding rod 19.

[0124] The driving device can comprise, for example, a rotary steering mechanism, a weight-shift steering mechanism, or a rotary weight-shift steering mechanism as a steering mechanism. The rod inserted into the additional receiving device 17 as a holding rod can serve as a steering actuating element of a steering mechanism of the driving device.

[0125] The guide rod 10 inserted into the receiving device 9 can also serve as an actuating element of the steering mechanism of the vehicle. The person standing behind the vehicle can thus steer the vehicle. Since the embodiment shown in Figure 2 comprises the receiving device 9 at the rear end 3 of the standing area, the embodiment shown in Figure 2 is new compared to the known prior art.

[0126] The kick scooter shown in Figures 1 and 2 as a vehicle according to the invention can be characterized in that the rod can be introduced as a guide rod 10 into the receiving device 9 or as a holding rod 19 into the further receiving device 17. For this purpose, the rod as a guide rod 10 (see Figure 1) is removed from the receiving device 9 and introduced into the further receiving device 17 (see Figure 2). The receiving device 9 without an inserted guide rod 10 preferably does not form a raised area in the standing surface 1, as shown in Figure 2, so that the entire area of ​​the standing surface 1 can be used. The empty receiving device 9 can form a recess in the standing surface 1, which recess can be designed so as to be closable.

[0127] Scooters according to the prior art comprise the additional receiving device 17.

[0128] If the end 12 of the rod to be connected cannot be inserted into the receiving device 9 and the further receiving device 17, the person skilled in the art can provide an adapter 38 or a plurality of adapters 38 at the end 12 of the rod to be connected for insertion into the further receiving device 17 or into the receiving device 9. Figures 1 and 2 show the special case in which the rod is inserted as a guide rod 10 with a first adapter into the receiving device 9 or as a holding rod 19 without an adapter or with a second adapter into the further receiving device 17. A solution inverse to this is also conceivable.

[0129] Regarding Figure 3 and Figure 4:

[0130] Figure 3 shows a view of a possible embodiment of the connected end 12 of the rod. Figure 3 shows a possible embodiment of the connected end 12 of the rod without a removable adapter.

[0131] The rod shown in Figure 3 can be used as a guide rod 10 and / or as a holding rod 19. It has already been mentioned above that the rod, as a guide rod 10, can be connected to the receiving device 9 via a mechanical connecting means. One possible embodiment of this detachable mechanical connecting means is shown in Figure 3.

[0132] The rod comprises a locking element 20 at its connected end 12. The locking element 20 is movable between an extended position shown in Figure 3 and a retracted position shown in Figure 4. A spring (not shown in Figure 3), preferably provided in the rod, drives the locking element 20 into the extended position shown in Figure 3 and thus into a locking recess 22 in the recess 23 of the standing surface 1 shown in Figure 6.

[0133] The embodiment shown in Figure 3 advantageously comprises a guide element 34. The guide element 34 is designed here, for example, as a projection, which projection is inserted into a corresponding guide recess 35 in the recess shown in Figure 6. The inserted guide element 34 can also prevent the guide rod 10 from twisting about its longitudinal axis.

[0134] As an alternative to the guide element 34 introduced into the guide recess 35, the person skilled in the art can also select an oval cross-sectional shape of the rod and a matching recess 23 in order to prevent rotation of the guide rod 10 about its longitudinal axis.

[0135] The rod is thus designed to be inserted into a suitable recess 23 of the receiving device 9.

[0136] The locking element 20 preferably has, on its side edge closer to the connected end, an oblique or rounded surface 21, which surface 21 causes the locking element 20 to retract when the rod is inserted into the recess 23 of the receiving device 9 (not shown in Figure 3) without any action by the user. The receiving device 9 has a locking recess 22, into which the locking element 20 is inserted to fix the rod in the receiving device 9.

[0137] The end shown in Figure 3 comprises a handle 31. In an advantageous manner, the handle 31 is designed as an actuating element 15. In an advantageous manner, the actuating element 15 is coupled to the locking element 20, so that by pushing the actuating element 15 in one of the directions 24, the locking element 20 is moved, if necessary counter to the spring force, from the extended position (see Figure 3) into the retracted position (see Figure 4). For example, moving the actuating element 15 downwards in the illustration in Figures 3 and 4 can cause the locking element 20 to retract. In such an embodiment, the handle 31 as the actuating element 15 must be moved upwards or downwards in order to move the locking element 20 out of the locking recess 22 and thus to be able to release the connected end 12 from the receiving device 9.

[0138] It can be seen from Figure 1 that the guide rod 10 is inclined backwards, so that the handle 14 is arranged behind and above the rear wheel 7 in a projection from above. A user who wishes to remove the rod as guide rod 10 from the receiving device 9 should remove the guide rod 10 in a direction parallel to the inclination of the guide rod 10. However, it can be assumed that the user removes the guide rod 10 vertically and thus deviates from the intended removal direction, which can lead to wedging or damage to the receiving device 9 and / or the connected end 12.

[0139] Advantageously, the rod comprises at its connected end 12 an ejection element 36, which ejection element 36 is mechanically coupled to the actuating element 15. Figure 3 does not show an ejection element 36, since the ejection element 36 is in a retracted position. Figure 4 shows the ejection element 36 in the extended position. If the recess 23 of the receiving device 9 is designed as a blind hole in at least some areas, the ejection element 36 is pressed against the blind hole, whereby the rod, which is introduced into the receiving device 9 as a guide rod 10, is lifted by the height of the ejection element 36 in the extended position. The height h of the ejection element 36 in the extended position can correspond to the depth t (see Figure 7) of the recess 23 designed as a blind hole.

[0140] Regarding Figure 5:

[0141] Figure 5 shows a bottom view of the vehicle according to the invention. Figure 5 shows the special design in which the receiving device 9 is connected to the underside of the chassis 8 with screws 32. The screws 32 are preferably the same screws with which the brake 25 is attached to the standing surface 1 and / or to the chassis 8 in a prior art kick scooter. As an alternative to the screws 32, snap-in connections are also conceivable.

[0142] The brake 25 can be partially seen in Figure 5.

[0143] As an alternative to this mechanical connection of the receiving device 9, a one-piece design of the receiving device 9 and the chassis 8 and / or the rear chassis support 5 is also conceivable.

[0144] The base 1 and the chassis 8 comprise a recess 23 (not shown in Figure 5), through which the rod is inserted as a guide rod 10. Figure 6 shows a view from above of the rear region 3 as the rear end of the base 1; the recess 23 is visible. The recess 23 is not visible in Figure 5, since the recess 23 is advantageously designed as a blind hole.

[0145] Figure 5 shows an actuating element 16 arranged on the receiving device 9 for driving the locking element 20 out of the locking recess 22 of the receiving device 9. Preferably, the actuating element 16 is rotatably mounted about an actuating element axis 33, so that the actuating element 16 acts as a mechanical lever, with which mechanical lever the locking element 20 can be brought into the retracted position against the spring force of the spring to release the rod (see also Figure 7).

[0146] Regarding Figure 6:

[0147] Figure 6 shows a top view of the rear end of the kick scooter embodiment according to the invention shown in Figure 5. The recess 23 in the base 1 and in the chassis 8, into which recess 23 the connected end 12 of the rod is inserted, is clearly visible. Figure 6 shows the special case in which the recess 23 is designed such that the receiving device 9 extends from the lower side (see Figure 5) through to the surface of the base 1.

[0148] Furthermore, the locking recess 22 is visible in the recess 23, which is exemplified here as a bore. When the connected end 12 of the rod is inserted, the locking element 20 is inserted into this locking recess 22.

[0149] The guide recess 35 can also be seen, which guide recess 35 is arranged here, for example, on the opposite side of the recess 23. The guide recess 35 has a geometrically matching cross-section to the guide element 34 shown in Figures 3 and 4, so that the guide element 34 can be inserted into the guide recess 35 to guide the rod. For example, the guide recess 35 and the guide element 34 have a rectangular cross-section.

[0150] It can also be seen in Figure 6 that the recess 23 is designed as a blind hole with a blind hole recess 37. The blind hole recess 37 is arranged at the lowest point of the recess 23 and ensures that any water collected in the recess 23 can drain away.

[0151] The receiving device 9 can be formed integrally with the chassis 8. Since this represents only one possible embodiment, no reference symbol 8 for the chassis 8 is shown in Figure 6. Regarding Figure 7:

[0152] Figure 7 shows a sectional view of the rear end of the embodiment of the driving device according to the invention shown in Figures 5 and 6, in particular the rod end discussed above.

[0153] To release the rod as guide rod 10 from the receiving device 9, the actuating element 16, which is mounted rotatably about an actuating axis 33, is pressed at its free end and thus rotated about the aforementioned actuating axis 33. This movement causes the locking element 20 to slide out of the locking recess 22 of the receiving device 9.

[0154] In addition or as an alternative to the actuation of the actuating element 16, the locking element 20 can also be moved from the extended position to a retracted position by actuating the actuating element 15, as described above with reference to Figures 3 and 4. In the retracted position, the connected end 12 is released.

[0155] In an advantageous manner, the handle 31 in Figure 7 also acts as an actuating element 15.

[0156] The receiving device 9 is designed to be substantially flush with the standing surface 1 of the vehicle according to the invention. The entire surface extending between the front wheel 6 and the rear wheel 7 can be used as the standing surface 1. The recess 23 can be designed to be sufficiently small.

[0157] The embodiment of the

[0158] Receiving device 9 allows an arrangement of the guide rod 10 projecting from the standing surface 1 and / or from the chassis.

[0159] Regarding Figure 8 and Figure 9:

[0160] Figures 8 and 9 show sectional views and views of another embodiment of the connected end 12 of the rod. Unlike the embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 4, the connected end 12 is formed by at least one adapter 38, which adapter is detachably or permanently connected to the rod. The at least one adapter 38 can be connected to the rod, for example, via a screw connection 40 or a similar mechanical connection.

[0161] The adapter 38 can comprise several parts.

[0162] To use the rod as a guide rod 10 and to insert the guide rod 10 into the receiving device 9, the at least one adapter is applied to the rod. To use the rod as a holding rod 19 and to insert the holding rod 19 into the further receiving device 17, the at least one adapter 38 is removed from the holding rod 19. By removing the at least one adapter 38, a further end 41 of the rod is released, which further end 41 can be inserted into the further receiving device 17.

[0163] Figure 8 shows a view and a sectional view of the connected end 12 of the rod in a state suitable for insertion into the receiving device 9. Figure 9 shows a view and a sectional view of the free end 12 of the rod in a state for removal from the receiving device 9. Similarly to the device shown in Figures 3 and 4

[0164] This embodiment also comprises a prestressed locking element 20, preferably with an inclined surface 21. The rod advantageously comprises an actuating element 15. By moving the actuating element 15, designed as a handle 31, parallel to the rod 24, the locking element 20 is transferred from the extended position shown in Figure 8 into the inserted position shown in Figure 9. Preferably, the actuating element 15 is moved under prestressing of a spring during the transfer from the position shown in Figure 8 to the position shown in Figure 9.

[0165] In the case of the driving device according to the invention, which driving device comprises an actuating element 15 on the rod and / or an actuating element 16 on the receiving device 9, the rod as a guide rod 10 can be released by the actuating element 15 and / or by the actuating element 16. In an advantageous manner, the locking element 20 is brought into a position protruding away from the front side of the free end 12 (see Figure 9), as a result of which a rod introduced into the receiving device 9 is moved out of the receiving device 9. The above description is based on the idea that the receiving device 9 is connected to the chassis 8 and / or to the standing surface 1 and / or to the rear chassis support 5.

[0166] Similar to the embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 4, the embodiment shown in Figures 8 and 9 comprises an expulsion element 36. The relevant description, in particular of the expulsion element 36, in the above figure description also applies to this figure description.

[0167] The expulsion element 36 can offer the advantage that the rod, as a guide rod 10, is expelled from the receiving device 9 in the correct direction. The expulsion element 36 can offer the particular advantage that the rod, as a guide rod 10, is not pulled out of the receiving device 9 in the wrong direction.

[0168] The embodiment shown in Figures 8 and 9 comprises a connected end 12 configured as a tapered end. The tapered configuration of the connected end 12 creates a support area 39, which, when a rod is inserted into the receiving device 9, contacts, for example, the standing surface 1 or another element of the vehicle. This provides advantageous support for the rod as a guide rod 10.

[0169] Regarding Figure 10:

[0170] Figures 5 and 6, which show a bottom view and a top view of the chassis 8 and the standing surface 1, respectively, are described above in connection with a rod without an adapter. Figures 5 and 6 apply to the embodiment of the connected end 12 of the rod with at least one adapter 38 shown in Figures 8 and 9.

[0171] Figure 10 shows a sectional view of the rear part of an embodiment of the scooter according to the invention. The rod, with at least one adapter 38 as the guide rod 10, is inserted into the receiving device 9.

[0172] The guide rod 10 is arranged in a cantilevered manner.

[0173] Here, too, the receiving device 9 is designed to be substantially flush with the base 1. The recess 23 is designed to be sufficiently small so that it is not obtrusive.

[0174] Regarding Figures 11 and 12:

[0175] Figures 11 and 12 show a prototype of a ride according to the invention. The features of the ride shown in Figures 11 and 12 can be clearly and directly derived from the above description.

[0176] The vehicle comprises a standing area 1. A chassis 8 is arranged beneath the standing area 1. The standing area 1 can be formed by a part covering or enclosing the chassis 8 or can be formed integrally with the chassis 8. A front chassis support 2 is arranged at the front end of the standing area 1 or the chassis 8 and a rear chassis support 3 is arranged at the rear end of the standing area 1. The front chassis support 4 carries two front wheels 6 and the rear chassis support 5 carries a rear wheel 7.

[0177] Preferably, the front wheels 6 are steerable by a steering system. The steering system can be a weight-shift steering system, a rotary weight-shift steering system, or a rotary steering system.

[0178] The vehicle further comprises a seat / holding element 18, as is known from conventional teachings. Figure 11 shows this in its position as a support rod. Figure 12 shows it in its position as a seat element. The seat / holding element 18 can act as an actuating element for steering the front wheels 6.

[0179] The vehicle further comprises a guide rod 10, which is mechanically detachably connected to the standing surface 1 and the chassis 8, as explained above. Figures 11 and 12 show a connection without an adapter. The connection can also be created using an adapter, as explained above.

[0180] The guide rod 10 is connected to the chassis 8 and / or to the standing surface 1 via the receiving device 9. There is preferably sufficient space between the receiving device 9 and the front end 2 of the standing surface 1 so that a child can stand between the front end 2 of the standing surface 1 and the inserted guide rod 10.

[0181] The guide rod 10 includes a handle 14 at its free end 11. The handle 14 is shown here as a crossbar. Alternatively, a spherical end is also conceivable.

[0182] The guide rod 10 also acts as a steering actuator. The person accompanying the vehicle can tilt the vehicle using the guide rod 10, thus causing the front wheels 6 to steer via a weight-shift steering mechanism or a rotary weight-shift steering mechanism. This person can also cause the vehicle to rotate around the rear wheel 7, thus causing the front wheels 6 to steer via a rotary steering mechanism or a rotary weight-shift steering mechanism. A person skilled in the art can select a suitable termination for the guide rod 10 at its free end 11, so that the guide rod 10 can act as a steering actuator.

[0183] The seat / holding element 18 is not connected to the guide rod 10. The seat / holding element 18 does not contact the guide rod 10. The seat / holding element 18 is spaced from the guide rod 10 in every position. Figure 13:

[0184] Figure 13 shows a view obliquely from the rear (Figure 13, left) and a view obliquely from the front (Figure 13, right) of the riding device according to the invention, as defined in claim 1. In contrast to the illustration in Figures 11 and 12, the riding device shown in Figure 13 does not comprise a seat / holding element. The guide rod 2 can also be inserted into the additional receiving device 17 in the front area of ​​the riding device, as described above.

[0185] The guide rod 10 is designed as a telescopic rod. The guide rod 10 includes a handle 14 at its free end 11, which allows a person located behind the vehicle to push and steer the vehicle. Figure 13 shows a wishbone as an example of a handle.

[0186] Regarding Figure 14:

[0187] Figure 14 shows, in particular in addition to Figure 10, a sectional view of the guide rod 10 inserted into the standing surface 1. The features that differ from Figure 10 are discussed here.

[0188] The ride shown for children comprises a standing area 1, at least one front wheel (not shown in Figure 14) articulated in the front region of the standing area 1 via a front chassis support 4, and at least one rear wheel 7 articulated in the rear region of the standing area 1 via a rear chassis support 5, wherein the ride is moved in a direction of travel 30. The at least one rear chassis support 5 and the at least one front chassis support 4 are connected by a chassis 8.

[0189] Near the rear area of ​​the standing surface 1, a recess 23 is arranged as a receiving device 9 for receiving a rod as a guide rod 10, wherein the above provisions are to be applied to the interpretation of the term "near".

[0190] In the embodiment shown in Figure 14, the recess 23 is formed in the standing surface 1 and in the chassis 8, although it would also be conceivable to form the recess only in the cover element forming the standing surface 1 or only in the chassis. The recess 1 formed in the standing surface 1 and in the chassis 8 is functionally designed in the same way as the receiving device 1 of the embodiment shown in Figure 1.

[0191] A connected end 12 of the guide rod 10 is connected to the receiving device 9. The guide rod 10 extends cantilevered from this receiving device 9, the free end 11 of the rod received by the receiving device 9 being arranged as a guide rod 10 higher than the standing surface 1 and / or, in a projection from above, behind or above the rear wheel 7. The vehicle can therefore be controlled by a person located behind the vehicle via the rod as a guide rod 10. The guide rod 10 is attached to the vehicle exclusively via the receiving device 9. The receiving device 9 is arranged adjacent to and at a distance from a rear wheel axle of the rear wheel 7, reference again being made to the above provisions for the interpretation of the above-mentioned term “near”.

[0192] In this preferred embodiment of the driving device according to the invention, the receiving device 9 as well as the chassis 8 and the standing surface 1 and the rear chassis support 5 are formed in one piece.

[0193] The guide rod 10 is connected to the receiving device 9 via a detachable mechanical connection. A locking recess 22 is formed in the chassis 8. The locking device 20 arranged on the guide rod 10 can be releasably inserted into the locking recess 22.

[0194] The vehicle may comprise a further receiving device 17. The receiving device 9 and / or the further receiving device 17 may be designed to releasably or permanently receive at least one adapter, which at least one adapter formed as a single piece or in multiple pieces may be arranged between the rod and the receiving device 9 or the further receiving device 17.

[0195] The driving device can be characterized in that the driving device comprises a support rod or a support rod with a seat device and / or a seat / holding element 18, which seat / holding element 18 can be transferred from a first position as a seat device into a second position as a holding element. The driving device can be controlled by means of a rotary steering or a

[0196] Weight shift steering or by means of a

[0197] Rotating weight shift steering must be steerable.

[0198] The actuating element 15 additionally has an actuating element projection 43, which is arranged in the rear region of the actuating element 15. Other shapes are also conceivable, such as a shape of the actuating element projection 43 that surrounds the actuating element 15. The actuating element projection 43 can allow the actuating element 15 to be actuated with the foot.

[0199] The guide rod 10 has a beveled connected end 12 such that the connected end 12 is flush with the underside of the chassis 8. The guide rod 10 is connected to the chassis 8 and / or the standing surface 1 in a cantilevered manner.

[0200] A hollow space 45 is formed in front of the receiving device 9, as viewed in the direction of travel 44. The recess 23 of the receiving device 9 can be closed with a preferably elastic closure part 46 (not shown in Figure 14, see Figure 13). The closure part 46 can be anchored in the chassis 8 and / or in the standing surface 1 through the hollow space 45 and can be articulated due to its preferably elastic design.

[0201] Regarding Figure 15:

[0202] Figure 15 shows several views of the driving device according to the invention. The receiving device 9 is integrated into the chassis 8 and connected thereto by screws. The receiving device 9 further comprises an actuating element 16. It can

[0203] Actuating element 12 of the guide rod 10 and / or the actuating element 13 of the receiving device 9 can be actuated to release the guide rod 10.

[0204] The recess 23 extends through the chassis 8 and / or the standing surface 1 .

[0205] The receiving device 9 described in this disclosure of the invention is characterized in that the guide rod 10 is connected to the driving device exclusively via this receiving device 9.

[0206] Regarding Figure 16:

[0207] Figure 16 shows views of an addition to the riding device according to the invention by footrests. The footrests 47 described below can also be included in a riding device, in particular a riding device for children, with a standing area 1, at least one front wheel articulated in the front region of the standing area 1 via a front chassis support 4 and at least one rear wheel 7 articulated in the rear region of the standing area 1 via a rear chassis support 5. The at least one rear chassis support 5 and the at least one front chassis support 4 are connected by a chassis 8.

[0208] The driving device is moved in a direction of travel 30 and can include a steering according to the usual teaching to change the direction of travel 30.

[0209] The embodiment shown in Figure 16 relates to a retrofit kit for arranging footrests 47 on a riding device such as a kickboard according to the prior art. Such a riding device comprises a chassis 8 of skeleton construction. The chassis 8 comprises chassis recesses 48, which chassis recesses 48 extend from the chassis upper side 49 to the chassis lower side 50. Figure 16 shows the special case in which the cross-sectional shape of the chassis recesses 48 is unchangeable. A changing cross-sectional shape of the chassis recesses 48 is also conceivable, which is not shown in Figure 16.

[0210] An upper footrest fastening element 51 is inserted into the chassis recess 48 via the chassis upper side 49. The upper footrest fastening element 51 has a shape that matches the chassis recess 48. The upper footrest fastening element 51 can fill the chassis recess 48.

[0211] A lower footrest fastening element 52 is inserted into the chassis recess 48 via the chassis underside 48. The lower footrest fastening element 52 has a shape that matches the chassis recess 48. The lower footrest fastening element 52 can fill the chassis recess 48.

[0212] The footrest fastening elements 52, 53 each have a stop 55, 56 to limit the insertion depth.

[0213] The footrest fastening elements 51, 52 are held immovably relative to one another by a connecting means and by the stops 55, 56 in their position introduced into the chassis recess 48. The connecting means can be a connecting means connecting the footrest fastening elements 51, 52, such as a screw connecting the footrest fastening elements 51, 52 or a similar snap connection (not shown in Figure 16). It is also conceivable for the footrest fastening elements 51, 52 to be connected to one another via the chassis 8 (not shown in Figure 16).

[0214] Figure 16 shows the screw 53 and a nut 54 forming a counter-thread, which nut 54 is inserted into the upper footrest fastening element 51. It is also conceivable that a self-tapping screw 53 is inserted into the upper footrest fastening element 51.

[0215] It is the lower footrest fastening element 52 by loosening the screw 53 from the upper footrest fastening element

[0216] 51 and thus detachable from the chassis 8 .

[0217] It is preferably attached to the lower footrest mounting element

[0218] 52, a footrest 47 is arranged detachably, fixedly, or adjustable. Figure 16 shows the special case of the fixed arrangement of the footrest 47 on the lower footrest fastening element 52, wherein the footrest 47 and the lower footrest fastening element 52 are formed as one piece. It is also conceivable for the footrest 47 to be arranged detachably on the lower footrest fastening element 52 via a mechanical connecting means or adjustable via a joint.

[0219] A standing surface 1 is formed on the upper side of the chassis 49. The footrest 47 is formed laterally to the standing surface 1 and widens it. A light child can thus operate the weight-shift steering via the footrests 47.

[0220] The standing area 1 is not reduced by the arrangement of the footrest 47 on the chassis 8.

[0221] The system shown in Figure 16 from the upper

[0222] Footrest fastening element 51 and lower footrest fastening element 52 allows a subsequent arrangement of elements such as the footrest 47 or other elements on the chassis 8.

[0223] Figure 17 shows a further embodiment for arranging a footrest 47 or another element on the chassis 8. The chassis 8 comprises an upper footrest fastening element 51 which is formed integrally with the chassis 8. A lower footrest fastening element 52 is connected to the upper footrest fastening element 52 by a mechanical connecting means such as a screw 53. In this way, the footrest 47 arranged on the lower footrest fastening element 52 is attached to the chassis 8 without changing the standing surface 1. The footrest 47 can be attached to the lower footrest fastening element 52 in a fixed, detachable or adjustable manner.
