DE102016009380A1 - Modular frame holder for predominantly pedal-operated bicycles - Google Patents

Abstract

Basic body 1.1 in various geometrical shapes and materials for wall mounting in the version with hole for threaded rods.

Description

Increasingly, modern and classic bicycles are kept in homes or offices. For this purpose a variety of systems for wall storage are available. In most cases this cost-effective holder is used in which front and rear wheels are on rails and the frame is attached by means of rope or chain holder. Solutions are generally used with open hooks are hung on the frame or carabiner-based solutions in which one end is firmly attached to an eyebolt and the other end to the frame top tube - out and hooked by means of carabiner on this eyebolt.

Also known are systems which are provided with a fixed hook / hanger.

The previously available frame holders do not allow any possibility of customization by the user, also the ropes and chains can not be changed in case of damage because they are firmly connected to the eyebolt.

Out DE 3320369 A1 is a system known to which a pedal is mounted to the wheel is secured against falling. However, this backup is not interchangeable or customizable.

at DE 20 2005 016 436 U1 A U-shaped hook is used for vertical storage, which is firmly mounted on the rail. A similar method is used US 20150151802 A1 used.

DE 20 2006 013 273 U1 uses a ball head that allows the suspension of a car wheel carrier and does not allow for the storage of individual wheels.

DE 20 2011 005 616 U1 only uses a length-adjustable hook for hanging the bicycle frame

Also DE 00 0009 401 497 U1 uses a "wall-mounted, tension-resistant holding means" with free end (hook) for grasping the frame tube or seat post.

The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a modular system for the frame support which enables the abovementioned possibilities of individualization and interchangeability of the components.

The inventive "modular frame holder" is intended for attachment to the wall and consists of 3 components:
Component 1: Basic body ( 1 )
Component 2: Breakpoints ( 3.1 and 3.2 )
Component 3: retaining element ( 2 )

Description Component, basic module (Fig. 1, Fig. 2):

This basic body 1.1 and 1.2 is mounted on the wall and has at least 2 mounting points for mounting the breakpoints ( 3 and 4 ) on which in turn a holding element ( 2 ) is mounted.

This component can be produced in any geometric shape. Also, shapes of figures, buildings and the like are possible. The shape of a cube shown in the drawing is therefore only to be seen as an example. Metals, plastics and wood in various shapes and colors can be used as material for this purpose. Milling and turning techniques are used as well as casting or 3D printing processes.

For individualization of the basic body ( 1.1 and 1.2 ) fonts, logos and the like can be imprinted or engraved.

Description component 2, breakpoints (Fig. 3, Fig. 4):

The breakpoints ( 3.1 . 3.2 . 4.1 and 4.2 ) can be manufactured in various designs and mounted on the base body. By way of example, knurled screws and spherical shapes are mentioned here.

The breakpoints can be either with internal thread ( 3.1 and 3.2 ) for mounting on a threaded rod or as a screw type ( 4.1 and 4.2 ) be designed for mounting on the base body with incorporated thread.

Description of component 3, retaining element (Fig. 5):

This component is manufactured in such a way that one end is fixed and remains movable, but not from the breakpoint ( 3.1 ) can be solved unintentionally. The other end must remain removable so that it can be carried around the bicycle frame (eg top tube / seat tube / fork tube), but after hanging on the break point ( 3.2 ) holds under train safely. Depending on the breakpoints used different size perforations, different size loops or different sized, sewn, rings are used. As a material leather, textile material, steel cables or Kunststoffschüre- or bands can be used for this component. Due to the multitude of colors in which these materials are offered, a user has many creative possibilities.
