A linear powered input device that utilizes linear input from a user and converts the linear input rotational energy to perform work. The linear input is generated by lever arms having a slotted attachment at a pivot point that allows a free end of the lever arms to move linearly rather than in an arcuate path. The lever arms are connected to a power transmission mechanism that wraps around one or more drive wheels having one-way bearings mounted on one or more output shafts. The output shafts can be connected to any type of auxiliary device to perform the desired work. Output wheels may be mounted on the output shafts and operatively connected by a transmission link that allows linear motion of any lever arm in any allowable direction to cause the output shaft to rotate in the same rotational direction so as to receive continuous input.

The Compound Torque Multiplying Lever Propelled Bicycle uses two force multiplying machines to generate a large amount of torque to be applied directly to the sprocket of the rear wheel. This machine uses a lever machine as a means of mechanical advantage and a two gear combination machine as a means of mechanical advantage. In this configuration, the input gear is always larger than the output gear or sprocket. Furthermore, because the load of each lever machine is moved away from the fulcrum and closer to the pedals, less material is needed to reinforce the lever machines from the inside; thus, they are lighter. Furthermore, because the sprockets used to increase torque and range are smaller in diameter, they are then lighter, which would result in a bicycle that is lighter, having consistent increased torque from pedal peak to pedal base with a substantial amount of range.

A transmission mechanism includes: a main shaft, a power input member, a gear component, and a one-way transmission component. The gear component is arranged on the main shaft. The one-way transmission component is sleeved on the main shaft. The one-way transmission component is connected with the power input member and the gear component. The one-way transmission component enables the gear component to perform one-way transmission under the action of the power input member. The gear component is connected with a power output member in a transmission way to change a rotation speed transmitted from the power input member to the power output member. The power input member performs reciprocating motion with the main shaft as an axis to drive the power output member to move. By arranging the one-way transmission component, the transmission mechanism can perform arc reciprocating motion, thereby improving transmission efficiency.

A drive train for a treadle scooter using a locking roller clutch on each side of a drive wheel substantially equalizes drive line pull at actuation pulleys operatively associated with the locking roller clutches as a user pivots a rocker board having its ends attached to ends of the drive line.

A direct-drive double wing scooter includes a frame, an actuation assembly, a drive assembly, and a transmission assembly. The actuation assembly includes left and right swing wings each pivoted close to a front end of the frame through a pivot. The drive assembly includes a first turning shaft and a second turning shaft penetrating two sides of the frame. A distance between the first turning shaft and the pivot is defined as a first distance. A distance between a rear end of the right swing wing is defined as a second distance, or a distance between a rear end of the left swing wing is defined as a second distance. The first distance is in the range of 0.10-0.65 times the length of the second distance. The direct-drive double wing scooter provides a simple and reliable drive way and has transportation, amusement and fitness effects.

The invention discloses a ratchet-driven self-propelled scooter, comprising a scooter body and a transmission mechanism set on the scooter body; the invention provides a manpower self-propelled scooter with simple structure, light weight and low cost; step on a driving pedal to put a driving clamp in motion, thereby a pressing arm wheel drives a ratchet arm, then a ratchet pawl leads an axle to drive the rear traveling wheels to rotate, so that the scooter body moves; after releasing the driving pedal, the driving pedal is reset through a torsion spring, likewise repeatedly stepping to increase the driving force for the scooter body; the device possesses a complete scheme, simple structure, convenient operation, low cost, which is worthy of widespread promotion.

Vehicle including a frame, a seat mounted to the frame, wheels rotatably mounted on the frame, and drive mechanisms for causing rotation of one wheel. Each drive mechanism includes an arm pivotally attached to the frame at one end, a weight and attached pedal at an opposite end of the arm, and a guide member including a bump and that moves in conjunction with movement of the weight. The guide member has a first end region at which the guide member is pivotally attached to the frame and a second, opposite end region which is free. A roller attached to the arm moves along the guide member during pivotal movement of the arm to cause pivoting of the guide member as the roller engages with the bump. An energy transfer system converts pivotal movement of the guide member into motive power to rotate the wheel.

The present invention disclose a continuously variable reciprocating prime mover. The feature of this continuously variable reciprocating prime mover is that the reciprocating rotatory motion of the legs is modified into the reciprocating linear flexion and extension of the legs, by which one leg is flexed while the other leg is stretching, the combined force of the legs can be multiplied by the force. After each linear motion stroke is completed, the reverse linear motion stroke is repeated, and the driving direction remains unchanged. At any moment of the full stroke of the reciprocating linear flexion and extension of the legs, both can generate 2 times of the instantaneous power equivalent to the maximum moment point of the circular rotation.
