One big disadvantage of other, previously known bicycle holders is that they first have to be fixedly mounted on the car roof and the bicycles have to be raised so that they can be fixed to the roof. This holder can be easily mounted, is tightly suspended on the boot or a crossbar of a car or small trailer and is fastened by means of a snap closure so as to be roadworthy and protected against theft. This object is achieved according to the invention in that a transportable holder which is not intended solely for transport is mounted on the rear of a car or small trailer and on which a bicycle is arranged above the boot in the direction of travel in a piggyback fashion. The bicycle can be easily loaded and unloaded thanks to the short distance between the holder and the ground. Once the bicycle has been taken off, the holder can be removed without difficulty and stored. This holder may be used both for storing a bicycle in garages or the like and also as a holder when a bicycle is being cleaned.

Description

The invention relates to a bicycle holder, the Rear of a passenger car or on a fuel detachable from small trailers, with which a bicycle is in traffic-ready condition can be transported safely.

To get a bike in working order and unpro to be able to transport with a car, a bike holder is required, which is both a lightweight loading and unloading, as well as traffic and thief steel secure fastening enables.

Commonly known, from numerous publications, are roof racks of various types for the Trans port of bicycles.

With some mounts, the bike must be used for the Transport upside down, on the handlebars and saddle be attached.

Another version must be used for this purpose only the front wheel and the front wheel are removed be screwed to the car roof rack.

Even with other known laydowns, such as B. in the patents 15 18 528, 31 04 652.5, 26 21 638 or with the utility model 80 11 261, the bikes are standing on the car roof draws.

A big disadvantage is with the above and previously known bicycle transport brackets that these are first firmly installed on the car roof  and the bikes, for fixation, on this hochge have to be lifted.

The height of the car roof proves that Assembly of the roof rack, as well as attaching the Bicycle as very cumbersome, difficult and time consuming agile; likewise again when dismantling the Device.

Another disadvantage of the known roof rack be it says, even if no bicycles are transported the holder remains on the car, uncomfortable me wind noise and that through the increased air resistance of the fuel supply need not insignificantly increased.

Furthermore, such roof racks are in every car laundry very cumbersome.

Another disadvantage is that during the trans portes of bicycles, e.g. B. on vacation trips, no additional luggage placed on the car roof can be.

My invention is therefore primarily the task reasons to show a bike rack, where the The disadvantages just described are avoided can be used universally for all types of cars.

Without major preparatory measures, a Bicycle in running order unproblematic, time can be fastened economically and safely.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by that at the rear of a car a portable and not is only suitable for the transportation of certain holders, on which a bicycle in the direction of travel - piggyback - is arranged proportionally over the trunk.

The holder (s) is (are) at the stern between License plate and rear light mounted.

The advantages achieved by the invention are special in that the bike holder designed in this way, as you can see the drawings on the back side of the trunk is attached.

It needs a bike for the purpose of Bela dens, only to a small height, such as this. B. in public Lichen, traditional bicycle stands is common in the tabs of the holder are lifted.

By putting the bike through this holder in the ideal Grip area, this process can be done by any nor paint person without any other help.

Another advantage is that such a ge designed bike holder only during transport of the bicycle to remain on the transport vehicle needs.

After removing the bike, the holder can be without Difficulties are removed and kept.

This means that this holder can be used for storage ren of a bicycle in garages or the like Ver find application, as well as a holder for cleaning a Serve bicycle.

It is especially so in this embodiment thought to use the space above the trunk thus gaining the advantage of being on the car roof additional luggage can be accommodated.

Another advantage is that by gerin air resistance during the ride is not so unstable pleasant air noises and also the power Substance consumption only rises immensely.

In the drawings, embodiments are ge according to the invention and are shown below described in more detail.

It shows

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the bicycle erfindungsge MAESSEN holder without fastening elements, which can be uni versal stet ausgerü for the various vehicle types,
