Folding bicycle and method of use

摘要

A folding bicycle and method for folding the folding bicycle is provided. The folding bicycle comprises a frame having a first end and a second end; a first wheel connected to the second end of the frame, the first wheel and the frame being located in a first plane; a fork having a first end and a second end, the second end of the fork pivotally connected to the first end of the frame thereby allowing the fork to pivot about the first plane; a second wheel connected to the first end of the fork, the second wheel and the fork being located in a second plane; a first pivot member having a first pivot axis to allow the first end of the fork to pivot towards the second end of the fork about the first pivot axis; a second pivot member having a second pivot axis to allow the first end of the frame to pivot towards the second end of the frame about the second pivot axis; and a third pivot member having a third pivot axis to allow the second end of the frame to pivot towards the first end of the frame about the third pivot axis.

主权项

1. A folding bicycle comprising:
a frame longitudinally extending from a first end to a second end along a first axis and comprising a first portion at the first end of the frame, a middle portion, and a second portion at the second end of the frame; a first wheel connected to the second end of the frame, the first wheel and the frame being located in a first plane; a fork longitudinally extending from a first end to a second end along a second axis and comprising a first portion at the first end of the fork and a second portion at the second end of the fork, the second end of the fork pivotally connected to the first end of the frame thereby allowing the fork to pivot about the first plane; a second wheel connected to the first end of the fork, the second wheel and the fork being located in a second plane; a first pivot member having a first pivot axis substantially perpendicular to the second axis to allow the first end of the fork to pivot towards the second end of the fork about the first pivot axis until a side facing surface of the first portion of the fork faces a side facing surface of the second portion of the fork; a second pivot member having a second pivot axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis to allow the first end of the frame to pivot towards the second end of the frame about the second pivot axis until an upper facing surface of the first portion of the frame faces an upper facing surface of the middle portion of the frame; and a third pivot member having a third pivot axis substantially perpendicular to the first axis to allow the second end of the frame to pivot towards the first end of the frame about the third pivot axis until a side facing surface of the second portion of the second end of the frame.
