"Device for parking two-wheelers" i

The invention relates to a device for parking · \ two-wheelers, in particular bicycles.

Bikes are for which to count except bicycles and mopeds, scooters, \ motorcycles and scooters and the like can be used without additional support in driving position ready, ie upright not stopped. In order to achieve this, so-called stands must be provided which prevent the two-wheeler from falling over, ie keep it in a substantially vertical position.

Using the example of the bicycle, aie known "' proposals for stands are described below which, in a corresponding adaptation, essentially also apply to the other two-wheelers mentioned at the beginning, to which the proposal according to the invention relates as a whole.

In common parlance, the term "bicycle stand" encompasses several different types of support devices. So it can initially be one attached to the bicycle frame in its lower area, against spring force Act foldable support, through which the bike either in a slightly inclined position to the side or in the case a fork-shaped foldable support in a vertical position

Position is held. Furthermore, racks are known which stand on the floor - if necessary are firmly connected to it - and have fork-shaped elements, between which the front or rear wheel of the bicycle to be supported is placed. There are also racks with Channel-shaped elements that accommodate both front and rear wheels. In these, the channel is designed in such a way that that in each case a wheel is enclosed by a curved channel piece on a certain arc length to the to achieve the desired support effect. These grooves are usually arranged inclined relative to one another in the longitudinal direction and offset in height to the respective adjacent pair of channels, so that the arm requirement for both the one to be parked Bicycle in the longitudinal direction as well as with several juxtaposed in the transverse direction of the bicycles is reduced. Finally, bicycle racks preferably made of concrete are also known, which consist of an in The molded piece embedded in the floor consists of a segment of a circle Has recess in which the front or rear wheel of the bicycle is placed.

If the term “bicycle stand” or “stand” is used in the following, it is a device for parking meant by two-wheelers that are not or only partially attached to the two-wheeler.

All known stands have in common that the vehicle to be supported is in an upright position, either in a ready-to-drive position Position or in a position with the front wheel raised, the latter being the position conditional stand as well as the elements embedded in the floor with circular segment-shaped recesses often in

Companies or schools are used in which the accommodation of a large number of two-wheeled vehicles Vehicles is required.

The use of the well-known stands may be satisfactory when it comes to accommodating a large number of two-wheelers, but the well-known stands have so far only found marginal entry into private households and are only used there for temporary outdoor accommodation, not least W because in the known proposals the function of the support is in the foreground.

The invention is based on the object of creating a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which has those shown Does not have disadvantages, but rather a space-saving accommodation while maintaining an optimal support function single or multiple two-wheelers, especially in relatively small basement rooms or garages, but also in Allowed outdoors. The invention is based on the knowledge that a two-wheeler, in particular a bicycle takes up a small amount of space, which is disproportionate only due to individual, bulky components such as handlebars and pedals is greatly enlarged, with the solution based on the thought of that normally sought to go off upright support and the two-wheeler with the smallest possible distance to a vertical boundary line or -fläohe to turn off, so that the handlebar end facing the boundary line or -flaohe with the lowest points of the front and rear wheels, which are preferably located approximately at the same level, in one essentially vertically running common plane lies, gt, at a minimum distance from the boundary line or surface,

the ζ. B. can be a house, basement or garage wall. The solution is particularly preferred by at least one reached under-reaching console and at least one tilt bracket, the console preferably as a support serves for the wheels, while the tilt bracket counteracts the tilting caused by the desired parking position and attacks at any point on the vehicle above the lowest points mentioned.

With the measures proposed by the invention, ™ is advantageously and surprisingly easy to do with In the upright position, there is dead space on both sides of the wheels, which is essentially due to the width of the handlebars caused is made usable at least in part, with the possibility of accommodation still opening up also to vary in height, so that an optimal adaptation to the spatial conditions can be achieved, for example, the handlebars in an average Size of a person protrudes into the room. This then also achieves at the same time that if necessary The necessary maintenance work on the parked two-wheeler can be carried out without strenuous stooping.

The bracket (s) preferably consists of a profile which is substantially L-shaped in cross section and has a At least the length corresponding to the wheel spacing and with one of the profile legs serving to fasten the profile. Such profiles are easy and inexpensive to manufacture if several vehicles are to be accommodated to cut one after the other without further ado to the desired length, so that only one profile is required, and finally also easy to attach to a wall at the desired height, for example, as only appropriate

Holes are to be provided in the profile leg used for fastening. Of course, shorter consoles can also be used can be used, so that, for example, each wheel is assigned a separate piece of L-profile reaching under will.

To prevent lateral slipping or sliding out vertically

To avoid the longitudinal axis of the console in any case, the console can also consist of a channel open at the top ^ consist, whose preferably higher cheek of attachment

the gutter serves. The stability or stability can be increased by the fact that the channel cross-section in size and / or shape is adapted to the two-wheeled tires.

Although, as already indicated and explained in the exemplary embodiment described below, console and tilt bracket are preferably attached to a wall, either inside or outside, is part of the Invention of course the possibility of the console and to connect the tilting bracket to one another via a support preferably fastened in the floor or on a wall.

It has proven to be particularly favorable for stable parking and, at the same time, trouble-free handling when the tilt bracket is designed so that it is on the bicycle frame in its upper area, preferably on the seat post can attack. A loop-shaped element, which is preferably made of elastic, is particularly suitable for this or permanently deformable material. If the loop is made of elastic material, it can with Hook and eye be provided so that the loop, for example via a corresponding fastening element with

is connected to the wall or support, the bicycle frame to the desired position can be closed comprehensively. On the other hand, it is of course also within the scope of the invention possible to provide a closed loop, for example in the area of the seat post, encompassing the seat post, which is then turned off of the two-wheeler is then placed in a hook attached to the wall, but otherwise also with the two-wheeler remains connected while in use.

In order to be able to automatically compensate for dimensional differences and thus to guarantee that there is always no play on the wall, Material with elastic or spring properties is particularly advantageous for the loop.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing; show it:

1 shows a bicycle parked in a device according to the invention, in side view; and

Fig. 2 shows the bicycle shown in Fig. 1, in front view.

The holder according to the invention consists of a console 1 and a tilt bracket 2, which is attached to a wall 3 in one are fixed at such a distance that the two wheels of the bicycle are supported in the channel-shaped console can be, while the tilt bracket includes the bike in the area of the seat post. The higher of the two side cheeks In the example shown, the channel 1 has two bores 4 which are used to attach the console 1 to the wall to serve. The mounting height for the console 1 and thus also for the tilt bracket 2 can be according to the local conditions to get voted. The invention is also suitable

Device for attachment to both internal and external walls. Finally, console 1 and tilt bracket can be used 2 can also be connected to each other via a support that can be embedded in the ground or, if necessary, on a Wall is to be attached, so that a mass accommodation of two-wheelers is possible.

In the example shown, the tilt bracket 2 consists of a loop-shaped element made of elastic material, which can be easily closed by hanging a hook in an eyelet and at one end with an eyelet provided fastening element is connected to the wall 3.

In particular, from Fig. 2 shows the advantageous parking position, which - regardless of the optimal I 'to be chosen height above the ground - characterized by that the space not to be used by the protruding handlebars in known devices can be optimally used is made when it is minimized on the side facing the wall and available for disposal on the opposite side is enlarged. In this way, you can even in a narrow space behind each other and all around on the walls Accomodate two-wheelers in a number that using previously known stands even when exhausted the entire available floor space of the room would not be accessible.
