Abstract

It is a guitar holder (20) with adjustable elements for attachment to a bicycle rack for transporting a guitar bag with a guitar, which can be attached to the side of a bicycle rear wheel luggage rack. The main features of the guitar holder are height-adjustable telescopic rods (1, 2) with handle (3) and a two-part base that can be adjusted in width. The telescopic rods (1, 2) with handle (3) attached to a rear side wall can be pulled out in order to be able to fix the guitar neck. The two-part base of the guitar holder (20) is designed in such a way that it can be pulled out by two metal rails (6a, 6b, 7a, 7b) that run over one another, in order to widen the support surface. Lashing straps, which are adjustable in length and height and are connected by connecting parts in front of the guitar bag, ensure the hold of the guitar neck and guitar body through individual adjustment. Reflective elements on the outside of the straps are attached for road safety. Another feature of the guitar holder is the overall structure with a high rectangular rear side panel (18) with a telescopic handle and mounting elements, a two-part adjustable bottom in the shape of a rectangle, and a short rectangular front side panel (8), as well as open sides to the right and left.

Description

technical field

The invention relates to a guitar holder with adjustable elements for attachment to a bicycle rack.

State of the art

The state of the art is that the guitar bag with guitar is carried on the back with a shoulder strap while riding a bicycle, which leads to poor posture over long distances. Furthermore, in the event of a fall from the bicycle, the person does not have the opportunity to safely catch or roll off.

There are also bicycle baskets or bicycle panniers, but they are not designed for the height and width of a guitar bag with a guitar and therefore do not make safe transport possible, since the guitar neck usually protrudes laterally over the bicycle.

From Scripture DE 20 2020 104 822 U1 a bicycle basket is known which forms an interior space and an opening and comprises an upper frame, a peripheral wall, a lower frame and a bottom wall, the upper frame and the lower frame being arranged on the two opposite sides of the peripheral wall, with at least the upper frame or the lower frame is in the form of a flat plate, the upper frame surrounding the opening, the bottom wall facing the opening being connected to the lower frame, the peripheral wall having a connecting portion for positioning on the vehicle .

The font U.S. 3,286,891 A shows an L-shaped carrying device, the rear part of which is attached to a mudguard and partly to a luggage rack of a motorcycle.

The font DE 10 2012 005 280 A1 discloses a mobile transport system with a horizontal support plate and side parts attached to it at right angles, which can be attached to a bicycle rack and also moved to the ground via wheels attached to the lower end of the side parts using a telescopic handle. Containers holding loads can be attached to the support plate.

Furthermore, the writing U.S. 4,943,021 A a collapsible guitar stand to safely place a guitar on the floor.

Using a bicycle trailer as a means of transport for a guitar bag with a guitar is unwieldy when using local public transport and the bicycle trailer must be loaded onto a bus/train in addition to the bicycle. This requires more time when boarding and more space in the vehicles. Here the guitar bag with the guitar is mostly hollow and can be damaged.

object of the invention

The invention is based on the object of specifying a guitar holder with adjustable elements for fastening to a bicycle luggage rack, which in particular enables a stable hold and flexible adaptation to a guitar bag with a guitar in order to prevent damage to it.

The invention is also based on the object of specifying a guitar holder with adjustable elements for attachment to a bicycle rack, which is easy to handle and secure attachment to the bicycle.

Likewise, the safety of the cyclist should be increased when driving.

The object is achieved in that a guitar holder with adjustable elements for attachment to a bicycle rack has the features specified in claim 1.

character list

• 1 shows a view of the guitar holder according to the invention shown from the front with a slight lateral rotation to the left,
• 2 shows a view of the illustrated guitar holder according to the invention from the rear, with a slight inclination to the front and to the left.

Ways to carry out the invention

In 1 and 2 an inventive guitar holder (20) is shown. The side parts 8, 18 and the bottom parts 4, 5 are given their basic shape by a circular metal rod running all the way around, which are connected to one another as specified in claim 1 for protection.

By attaching the metal plates 6a, 6b to the underside of the front peripheral floor surface 4 and attaching the metal plates 7a, 7b to the underside of the rear peripheral floor surface, the possibility arises of connecting both parts and giving them stability. Through the predetermined holes in the metal plates 6a, 6b and the metal plates 7a, 7b, the front bottom surface pushed forwards or backwards on the lower floor area and then firmly fixed there with screws and nuts in the selected position. This allows the ground contact area to be widened or narrowed.

In 2 It can be seen that an upper metal plate 9 and a lower metal plate 10 are attached to the high circumferential side part 18 for cross bracing, thus bringing stability to this component. Furthermore, the holding device with hooks 11 is attached to the upper metal plates 10 from behind by screwing and the holding device with bracket 12 is attached to the lower metal plate 9. The two holding devices are for lateral attachment of the guitar holder 20 to a bicycle rear wheel luggage rack, not shown in more detail.

In 1 it is shown that on the front side of the high surrounding side part 18 the telescopic rods 1, 2 with handle are attached, which are fixed to the upper metal plate 10, the lower metal plate 9, and at the lower edge of the high surrounding side part 18. In 2 the telescopic rods 1, 2 with handle are shown with the extended part 13 of the telescopic rods. This possibility of extension gives you a height to support and attach a guitar neck up to the top, which gives the entire guitar bag with the guitar the necessary stability during transport without being able to tip out to any side. By lifting the guitar holder by the handle 3, it can be placed on the bicycle rear rack, not shown, and easily removed.

In 1 the low surrounding front side part 8 can be seen, which is characterized by a round, slightly protruding corner at the upper left and upper right edge. These slightly extended rounded corners are for increased protection of a guitar bag with a guitar. The low, surrounding front side part 8 is shorter than the high, surrounding side part 18 because this makes it easier to put in and take out the guitar bag with the guitar. Likewise, the front of the guitar with the sides, frets and any pickups are not exposed to increased friction during transport.

In the 2 Tension belts shown with connecting parts 14, 15, 16, 17 are described in protection claim 4 in their functionality and attachment. They are used to securely attach a guitar bag with a guitar to the guitar holder 20.

In 1 and 2 the open side parts can be seen to the right and left. These also allow for easier adjustment and removal of the guitar case with guitar and reduce the weight of the guitar mount 20.

It is also possible to place the entire guitar holder, including the guitar bag with the guitar strapped on, on the bicycle rear wheel luggage rack (not shown in more detail) and to attach or remove it.

In 1 and 2 covering material 19 is shown as an example. The two encircling side parts 8, 18 and the two encircling bottom parts have the option of connecting the interior space to the surrounding edge with covering material 19.
