    Aerodynamic assembly for bicycle hanger
    The present invention relates generally to bicycle hangers, for example time trials or triathlon, and more specifically the extenders which can be used for the hangers of such bikes.
    A time trial bicycle hanger allows the cyclist to have two different positions, a first position with the hands placed on the handlebars of the hanger, generally used by the cyclist when starting or forcing, and a second position with the forearms resting on arm rests and the hands placed on extensions. This second position is used by the cyclist to maintain a cruising speed while promoting the lowering of the bust and the bringing together of the cyclist's hands and elbows, thus improving aerodynamics.
    Such a hanger for a time trial bicycle generally comprises, in addition to the hanger part which conventionally has a transverse bar fixed to the bicycle, generally using a stem, with a grip zone (handle) at each of its two ends:
    - two extenders mounted on the handlebars, on either side of the stem, which each end in a grip area;
    - two arm rests, each associated with an extension, to serve as support for the cyclist's forearms when the latter has his hands on the grip areas of the extenders.
    The known embodiments can be essentially grouped into four types:
    According to a first type of embodiment, the two extensions used for the same hanger on the one hand, and the two associated arm rests on the other hand, are separate parts from each other.
    In this case, the extenders are generally mounted adjustable relative to the hanger. Thus, variations in spacing between the two extenders can for example be obtained by fixing the extenders at different points on the width of the hanger. The extensions can also be rotatably mounted on the hanger so as to allow adjustment of their inclination relative to the hanger. One or more shims of different heights can be used at the point of attachment of the hanger and each extension to allow adjustment of the height of the extensions relative to the hanger. For this type of extension, generally in the form of an elongated tube of straight, S-shaped or angled shape, the length of the extension relative to its point of attachment to the hanger can generally only be adjusted by cutting the extension tube. According to known embodiments, the arm rests are fixed either on the hanger or on the extensions, possibly by means of shims for height adjustment.
    By way of example, document EP 2 402 240 describes a pair of extenders in which each extension is fixed to the transverse bar of the bicycle hanger, and an armrest is fixed to each extension, set back from the crossbar of the hanger.
    A second type of embodiment covers the one-piece parts for which each extension comes in the extension of its associated armrest within the same part which is fixed on the hanger. In the known embodiments, only the inclination of each extension relative to the crossbar of the hanger and the spacing between the two extensions can be adjusted, but not the length of the extensions.
    A third type of embodiment, described for example in document US 2010/0326232, covers the case of a monobloc plate whose H-shape includes two extensions and two associated armrests, the plate being able to be fixed on the bar transverse of the hanger. In this type of plate, no adjustment of the distance between the extensions or the length of the extensions is possible.
    More recently finally, a fourth type of embodiment on the basis of a one-piece hanger incorporating traditional handles, armrests and extensions in the continuity of the armrests, has been proposed. The hanger is custom designed to fit a single cyclist, then is produced by 3D printing. No subsequent adjustment is therefore possible. Such a one-piece hanger is much more ergonomic and aerodynamic than the previous solutions, but cannot be adapted to a large number of cyclists.
    The object of the present invention is to propose an assembly comprising two separate devices, the structure of which confers improved aerodynamics compared to existing solutions, while in particular allowing adjustment in length making it possible to suit a large number of cyclists of different morphologies.
    More specifically, the first object of the invention is an aerodynamic assembly for a bicycle handlebar, the assembly comprising two separate extension devices forming a first left extension device and a second right extension device, characterized in that each of the two extension devices comprises:
    a first part forming an armrest, capable of being fixed to a transverse bar of a bicycle hanger, extending longitudinally forward and comprising a longitudinal extension forming a free end portion, an upper surface of the first part with its longitudinal extension forming a reception surface for a forearm part of a cyclist; and
    - A second part forming an extension, capable of being fixed, in a removable manner and in the extension of said first part, to said free end portion, the second part forming an extension being able to slide longitudinally relative to said longitudinal extension to allow a adjustment of a distance separating a free end of the second part forming an extension from the first part forming an armrest.
    In addition to the main characteristics which have just been mentioned in the previous paragraph, the assembly according to the invention may have one or more additional characteristics among the following:
    - For each of the two extension devices, an upper surface of the second extension part is preferably substantially in the extension of the upper surface of the first part so as to longitudinally increase the reception surface for each forearm of a cyclist;
    - For each of the two extension devices, the upper surface of the first part and the upper surface of the second extension part can be substantially flat, or concave to match the shape of a forearm;
    - For each of the two extension devices, a lower surface of the second extension part is preferably substantially in line with a lower surface of the longitudinal extension, and the lower surface of the second extension part and the lower surface l 'longitudinal extension are preferably convex;

    - For each of the two extension devices, the second extension part may be capable of being fixed and sliding longitudinally inside said longitudinal extension; alternatively, the second extension part is adapted to be fixed and to slide longitudinally on the outside of said longitudinal extension;
    - For each of the two extension devices, the first part forming an armrest is preferably configured to be fixed to a bicycle hanger by means of an adjustment system;
    - each adjustment system may be able to carry out at least one adjustment from the following adjustments:
    • an adjustment by up / down translation allowing an adjustment of the height of each first part forming an armrest relative to the transverse bar of the hanger;
    • an adjustment by forward / backward translation allowing an adjustment of each first part forming an armrest more or less set back or in front of the transverse bar of the hanger;
    • adjustment by left / right translation allowing adjustment of the spacing of the first parts forming an armrest along the transverse bar of the hanger;
    • adjustment by rotation in a horizontal plane allowing the adjustment of a nip angle between the two extension devices;
    • an adjustment by rotation allowing the adjustment of a support angle of the forearms relative to the horizontal.
    each of the two extension devices preferably comprises a foam covering capable of removably covering the reception surface;
    - For each of the two extension devices, one end of the second extension part is preferably flattened and has an ergonomic shape on which a palm of a cyclist can rest;
    - each flattened end can be provided with a through hole allowing a removable fixing of a handle;
    - Each handle is preferably pivotally mounted;
    - Each handle may include a grip part and fixing lugs in the lower part, said grip part making an angle with the fixing lugs;
    - the handles can be interchangeable to adjust a pinch angle between these handles.
    The invention also relates to a bicycle hanger characterized in that it comprises an assembly according to the first object.

    In the following description, and unless otherwise stated, the elements common to all of the figures bear the same references.
    Figures 1 and 2 show an aerodynamic assembly for a bicycle hanger 1, respectively in exploded view and in the mounted position. The bicycle hanger 1 conventionally comprises a transverse bar 2, the central part of which is fixed to the bicycle, generally using a bracket. The crossbar 2 is extended by a grip zone or handle 3a, 3b at each of its two ends. These handles extend towards the front of the bicycle, substantially in the longitudinal direction of the bicycle, shown in the figure by the longitudinal axis XX '. In the following, and except where expressly indicated, the indices “a” used in the signs for reference to the figures are representative of the parts intended to be located on the left with respect to the longitudinal axis XX ', and the indices “b” used in the signs with reference to the figures are representative of the parts intended to be situated on the right with respect to the longitudinal axis XX '.
    The aerodynamic assembly comprises, as particularly visible in FIG. 2, two separate extension devices, namely a first left extension device 4a and a second right extension device 4b.
    According to the invention, each of the two left 4a and right 4b extension devices comprises a first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest, capable of being fixed on the crossbar 2 of the bicycle hanger 1 extending longitudinally towards the before. Each first part 5a, 5b has a longitudinal extension 6a, 6b forming a free end portion before mounting (see Figure 1). The upper surface of the first part 5a, 5b with its longitudinal extension 6a, 6b forms a reception surface for a part of the left or right forearm of a cyclist. This reception surface can advantageously be covered with a foam covering 7a, 7b, of the same shape, to provide comfort to the cyclist, preferably removable as shown in FIG. 1 so as to be easily changed and / or cleaned.
    Each of the two left 4a and right 4b extension devices further comprises a second part 8a, 8b forming an extension, capable of being fixed, in a removable manner and in the extension of the first part 5a, 5b, to the free end portion of the longitudinal extension 6a, 6b.
    The first parts 5a, 5b forming an armrest and the second parts 8a, 8b forming extenders are preferably made of carbon fiber.
    The second part 8a, 8b forming an extension is also able to slide longitudinally relative to the longitudinal extension 6a, 6b to allow, as detailed below, an adjustment of the distance separating a free end of the second part 8a, 8b forming extension of the first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the second part 8a, 8b forming an extender is able to be fixed and to slide longitudinally inside the longitudinal extension 6a, 6b. However, according to variants not shown, provision can be made for the second extension part to be able to be fixed and to slide longitudinally on the outside of the longitudinal extension.
    As more particularly visible in FIGS. 1 and 3, each second part 8a, 8b forming an extension can be fixed to its first associated part 5a, 5b forming an armrest by a system of screws and plates. More specifically, a lower plate 9a, 9b, equipped with two threaded through holes, is housed in a first hollow end of each second part 8a, 8b forming an extension, and two screws 10a, 10'a, 10b, 10'b pass through the through an upper plate 11a, 11b and the longitudinal extension 6a, 6b to be screwed into the threaded through holes of the lower plate 9a, 9b. Several holes 12a, 12b regularly spaced by a distance corresponding to the distance separating the threaded through holes of the lower plate 9a, 9b are advantageously provided through the upper surface of the second part 8a, 8b forming an extension. Each cyclist can thus make a first adjustment of the insertion length which is adapted to the morphology of his forearms. For this first adjustment, it may be necessary to cut beforehand the end of the second parts 8a, 8b forming extenders between two consecutive holes 12a, 12b. A finer length adjustment can advantageously be obtained by providing, as shown in FIG. 3, that the upper plate 11a, 11b can translate longitudinally inside an oblong opening 13a, 13b extending longitudinally on the upper part of the longitudinal extension 6a, 6b.
    Furthermore, for each of the two extension devices 4a, 4b, the upper surface of the second part 8a, 8b forming an extension is preferably substantially in the extension of the upper surface of the first part 5a, 5b. This makes it possible to longitudinally increase the reception area for each forearm of a cyclist.
    In an alternative embodiment not shown, the upper surface of the first part 5a, 5b and the upper surface of the second part 8a, 8b forming an extension are substantially planar.
    In the preferred embodiment shown, for each of the two extension devices 4a, 4b, the upper surface of the first part 5a, 5b and the upper surface of the second part 8a, 8b forming an extension are concave, which makes it possible to marry at best the shape of a forearm over a large part or even over its entire length, as is particularly visible in Figures 4 and 5. This results in improved comfort and perfect support of the forearms.
    Furthermore, for each of the two extension devices 4a, 4b, the lower surface of the second part 8a, 8b forming an extension is preferably substantially in the extension of the lower surface of the associated longitudinal extension 6a, 6b, the lower surface of the second part 8a, 8b forming an extension and the lower surface of the longitudinal extension
    6a, 6b being advantageously convex to form a peak facing the wind.
    In the embodiment shown, and for each of the two extension devices 4a, 4b, the second part 8a, 8b forming an extension and the associated longitudinal extension 6a, 6b have complementary sections, preferably substantially triangular, as particularly visible on the Figure 3 on the zone 14 added with dotted lines. Such a choice of section offers the cyclist a possibility of positioning his forearms in contact over a major part of the length of the extension devices 4a, 4b and confers improved aerodynamics, as visible by the arrows in solid line added in FIGS. 5 , 6 and 7 which illustrate the path followed by the wind around the forearms of a cyclist when the bicycle is in motion.
    The ends opposite to the hanger 1 of the parts 8a, 8b forming extenders are preferably flattened, inclined inward relative to the vertical, and provided with a through hole 15a, 15b (see FIG. 1) allowing a removable fixing of handles. 16a, 16b. Each handle 16a, 16b is advantageously pivotally mounted so as to allow an inclination adjustment, for example by cooperation of a tightening nut 17, a support washer 18 and a tightening screw 19. As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 1, 8a and 8b, the handles 16a, 16b have an angle β of a few degrees between their legs 20a, 20b for fixing in the lower part and the grip part. We can thus turn each handle 180 ° around its axis before mounting on its binding or, as shown in Figures 8a and 8b, reverse the handles 16a, 16b. In both cases, we get a change in the gripping position (tilt relative to the vertical) of these handles.
    The flattened area of the ends opposite the hanger 1 of the parts 8a, 8b forming extenders has an ergonomic shape 21a,
    21b on which the palm of the cyclist's hand can advantageously rest (see in particular Figures 1 and 2).
    In the preferred embodiment shown in the figures, the first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest of each of the two extension devices 4a, 4b is configured to be fixed to the bicycle hanger 1 by means of a system of adjustment, including a preferred mode, allowing a large number of adjustments (in addition to the adjustment of the sliding of the extensions forming parts relative to the arms-forming parts, and of the grip angle of the handles described above), will now be described.
    In this embodiment, each adjustment system comprises (see in particular Figure 1):
    - an upper plate 22a, 22b which is placed for mounting on each first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest;
    - A cradle 23a, 23b and a cradle support 24a, 24b intended to be placed for mounting under each first part 5a, 5b facing the upper plate 22a, 22b;
    - A set of several (in the example at least three) shims 25a, 26a, 27a or 25b, 26b, 27b of variable height, preferably equal to 5 millimeters, 10 millimeters and 20 millimeters respectively;
    - Clamping screws 28a, 28b for assembling the upper plate 22a, 22b, the cradle 23a, 23b and the support 24a, 24b from the cradle to the part 5a, 5b forming an armrest.
    As shown in FIG. 1, and more particularly visible in FIG. 9, the shims allow each cyclist to adjust the fixing height of each of the extension devices 4a, 4b relative to the crossbar 2 of the hanger 1, at the first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest. The choice of variable heights of 5 millimeters, 10 millimeters and 20 millimeters advantageously makes it possible to obtain heights ranging from 0 to 55 millimeters in steps of 5 millimeters, depending on the combination of shims, by providing for each set of right and left shims two 5-millimeter shims, two 10-millimeter shims, and four 20-millimeter shims (note that the shims are interchangeable and can be used either on the right side or on the left side). The view shown in Figure 9 corresponds to a height adjustment of 35 millimeters with the combined use of the three wedges 25a, 26a, 27a and 25b, 26b, 27b. In this embodiment, the adjustment system, and consequently the associated extension devices, are capable of being fixed in two zones 29a, 29b dedicated to the crossbar 2 of the hanger 1, preferably by means of two screws 30a, 30b clamping supports 24a, 24b of cradles whose length depends on the number of shims used for mounting, and a support plate 31a, 31b to protect the material of the hanger 1.
    As shown in Figures 1, 10a, 10b and 11, the assembly of each upper plate 22a, 22b, the cradle 23a, 23b and the support 24a, 24b from the cradle to the part 5a, 5b forming an armrest by the intermediate screws 28a, 28b for tightening takes place through an opening 32a, 32b of oblong shape extending longitudinally in the first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest. Each cyclist can thus move forward or backward the parts 5a, 5b forming an armrest along an axis transverse to the bar 2 of the hanger 1 by moving the assembly longitudinally in the oblong opening 32a, 32b before tightening the screws 28a, 28b. FIGS. 10a, 10b illustrate, in top view, two extreme positions, a first position (FIG. 10a) in which the first parts 5a, 5b are generally set back towards the rear of the crossbar 2, and a second position ( FIG. 10a) in which the first parts 5a, 5b are generally at the front of the crossbar 2. A total range Dmax of adjustment of front / rear translation, for example equal to 55 millimeters, can thus be obtained. The upper plate 22a, 22b may advantageously include a cursor for locating on a graduated rule (33a in FIG. 11), so as to help the cyclist in the adjustment in forward / backward translation.
    As shown in FIGS. 1, 11 and 12, the oblong opening 32a, 32b extends longitudinally in a housing 34a, 34b of the first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest, this housing 34a, 34b advantageously having a width size greater than the width of the upper plate 22a, 22b. the two extension devices 4a, 4b can thus pivot around the upper plates 22a, 22b which serve as stops, which allows each cyclist to adjust the toe-in angle between the two extension devices 4a, 4b (angle Θ in FIG. 12 ), before tightening the tightening screws 28a, 28b. By correctly dimensioning the width of the housing 34a, 34b relative to the width of the upper plate 22a, 22b, a range from -7 ° to + 7 ° around the longitudinal axis of the oblong opening 32a, 32b can by example be obtained for the pinch angle Θ.
    Adjustment in left / right translation (parallel to the transverse bar 2 of the hanger 1) of each first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest by the adjustment system is also possible, as will now be explained:
    Figure 13 is an enlarged view of the cradle support 24a of Figure 1. The cradle support 24a has a general shape of inverted uppercase "L" whose base 35a is concave in shape to cooperate with the convex lower surface of the associated cradle , and is pierced with two parallel series of holes facing each other and extending along the base of the "L" (parallel to the transverse bar 2 of the hanger 1 after mounting) to form pairs accepting the tightening screws 28a. More precisely, one can choose to screw the clamping screws 28a either in the pair of holes 36a, 36'a, or in the pair of holes 37a, 37'a, or even in the pair of holes 38a, 38'a. The other branch 39a of the inverted "L" is provided with two other through holes 40a, 40'a capable of receiving the clamping screws 30a (Figures 1 and 9). The cradle support 24b is of identical constitution to the cradle support 24a. As can be seen in FIG. 1, however, the cradle support 24a has its base offset to the left (relative to the fixing points by the clamping screws 31a) while the cradle support 24b has its base offset to the right. The two supports 24a and 24b are advantageously interchangeable between the two extension devices 4a, 4b, so that it is possible to obtain six possible positions for fixing the first parts 5a, 5b forming an armrest for adjustment in left translation / right.
    In addition, the housing 34a, 34b with its associated oblong opening 32a, 32b extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest, but is also offset relative to this longitudinal axis ( offset to the left for part 5a, and offset to the right for part 5b). The first two parts 5a, 5b are advantageously also interchangeable, namely that the first part 5a can be fixed to the cradle support 24a or to the cradle support 24b and that the first part 5b can be fixed to the cradle support 24a or to the support Cradle 24b. It results from the interchangeability of the two supports 24a, 24b of the cradle on the one hand, and of the first two parts 5a, 5b on the other hand the possibility of obtaining, in the preferred but nonlimiting embodiment, up to eleven possible positions for fixing the first parts 5a, 5b forming an armrest for adjustment in left / right translation (parallel to the transverse bar 2 of the hanger after mounting). Each cyclist can thus find the spacing between the parts forming an armrest which best corresponds to his morphology.
    In the preferred embodiment, the spacing of the centers of the parts 5a, 5b (center to center) can vary between 97.5 millimeters and 205 millimeters in steps depending on the distance between the holes 36a, 37a, 38a (or 36b, 37b, 38b) and the offset of each housing 34a, 34b relative to the longitudinal axis of the part 5a, 5b.
    FIGS. 14a illustrates, in top and rear views of the hanger, a first position for adjusting the spacing corresponding to a small spacing. This spacing position is obtained on the one hand by combining, the cradle support 24b with offset to the right with the first part 5a forming an armrest and by fixing this combination on the left on the crossbar 2 with the pair of holes 37b , 37'b (only the hole 37b is referenced so as not to overload the figure), and on the other hand by combining, the cradle support 24a with offset to the left with the first part 5b forming an armrest and fixing this combination on the right on the crossbar 2 with the pair of holes 37a, 37'a (only the hole 37a is referenced so as not to overload the figure). FIGS. 14b illustrates, in top and rear views of the hanger, another position for adjusting the spacing corresponding to a maximum spacing. This position of maximum spacing is obtained on the one hand by combining, the cradle support 24a with offset to the left with the first part 5b forming an armrest and by fixing this combination on the left on the crossbar 2 with the pair of holes 36a, 36'a (only the hole 36a is referenced so as not to overload the figure), and on the other hand by combining, the cradle support 24b with offset to the right with the first part 5a forming an armrest and fixing this combination on the right on the crossbar 2 with the pair of holes 36b, 36'b (only the hole 36b is referenced so as not to overload the figure).
    The adjustment system also advantageously allows an inclination adjustment of each first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest by rotation about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the crossbar 2. As can be seen in FIG. 15, this adjustment of the support angle of the forearms is made possible by the cooperation of the convex lower surface of the cradle 23a on the upper surface of the base 35a of the cradle support 24a. A mark 41a on the cradle 23a opposite a graduated marking 42a on the cradle support 24a advantageously helps the cyclist in this adjustment of the support angle of the forearms. In the preferred embodiment, the angle of inclination can vary over a range from 0 ° to 12 °.
    Each adjustment system thus allows several possible adjustments for the position of each first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest (and consequently of each extension device 4a, 4b), namely:
    - An adjustment by up / down translation allowing the adjustment of the height of each first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest relative to the crossbar 2 of the hanger 1;
    - An adjustment by forward / backward translation along the axis XX 'allowing the adjustment of each first part 5a, 5b forming an armrest more or less set back or in front of the crossbar 2 of the hanger 1;
    - An adjustment by left / right translation allowing adjustment of the spacing of the first parts 5a, 5b forming an armrest along the crossbar 2 of the hanger 1;
    - An adjustment by rotation in a horizontal plane allowing the adjustment of the pinch angle Θ between the two extension devices 4a, 4b;
    - an adjustment by rotation of the cradles in the associated cradle supports, allowing the adjustment of the support angle of the forearms relative to the horizontal.
    Of course, simplified adjustment systems offering only part of the above adjustment possibilities can also be envisaged.
    Other embodiments can also be provided for certain settings. In particular, a fixing system comprising a fixing ring which clips onto the transverse bar of a hanger can make it possible to adjust both the spacing of the extension devices along the bar and the bearing angle of the forearm.
