Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for storing vehicle wheels or vehicle tires according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is known from G 93 17 025.4.
  • This device also referred to as a tire tree, has a base unit in the form of a stand foot with a stand column, on which support arms are arranged at right angles to the stand column and parallel to the stand foot. These support arms are used to hold vehicle wheels or vehicle tires that are simply attached to these support arms.
  • This known device enables the desired careful storage of the vehicle tires or vehicle wheels, there are still some disadvantages. This includes the large space requirement due to the footprint and especially the protruding support arms. There is also the risk that the device tilts under one-sided loading, for example when changing wheels.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a device of the type mentioned at the outset which takes up as little space as possible and at the same time ensures problem-free handling.
  • the invention is based on the idea of designing the base unit in such a way that it can be attached to a ceiling or to a wall of a building.
  • the ceiling of a garage can be used to store the vehicle wheels or tires, the floor space that was previously common is no longer required.
  • the invention provides for the carrying devices to be pivotable with respect to the base unit, the pivoting range being defined between a receiving position and a storage position. In the storage position, the carrying devices can be fixed with a locking device.
  • the pivotable connection of the support devices to the base unit enables extremely convenient handling of the vehicle wheels or vehicle tires when attaching or removing them, since the support devices can be folded down, for example, in the case of a ceiling installation.
  • the carrying devices are at a height that is easily accessible. In the storage position, however, are those on the carrying devices fixed vehicle wheels arranged close below the ceiling and thus take up little space. The loss of room height in the area of the device is irrelevant in most applications, so that the storage of the vehicle wheels does not restrict the usability of the garage.
  • the locking devices can consist of plug pins, eccentric levers, safety clips or locking devices. These simple components enable the carrying devices to be fixed securely and quickly in the storage position.
  • the holding devices each have a threaded bolt connected to the second end of the carrying device, to which the vehicle wheel can be fastened with at least one threaded nut.
  • the vehicle wheel in question can be pushed onto the threaded bolt in an easily accessible manner and secured by means of the threaded nut.
  • the retaining washer is preassembled on the vehicle wheel, which is then pushed onto the threaded bolt together with the attached retaining washer.
  • the threaded nut is no longer supported directly on the vehicle wheel, but on the Holding disc off.
  • the retaining disc is provided with a radially extending slot, which covers the common bolt circle diameter ranges.
  • protective elements in the form of a cup-shaped cover cap are preferred, which can be attached to the threaded bolt. These are particularly suitable in cooperation with the holding disks described above, so that the vehicle wheel is securely received between the cover cap and the holding disk.
  • An alternative embodiment for the protective elements provides a conical, hollow cover cap, the side of the larger diameter of which grips the vehicle wheel on the side facing away from the carrying device and. whose section with a smaller diameter can be inserted through the hub hole of the vehicle wheel.
  • this variant allows an automatic, optimal adaptation to the respective geometry of the hub opening, as a result of which the vehicle wheel is always centered.
  • an optimal adaptation to vehicle wheels of various widths and designs can be carried out.
  • the cover caps can be arranged either in the same or in opposite directions.
  • This alternative embodiment for the protective elements also offers the possibility of screwing the threaded nuts in the integrating speaking sections with the smaller diameter. This also enables, for example, the exact positioning of the cover cap on the threaded bolt.
  • the carrying devices Although a large number of embodiments are possible for the carrying devices, it is advantageous for reasons of weight and stability if the carrying devices are designed as U-shaped arms and are articulated on the base unit via pivot pins.
  • Each of the support devices is preferably equipped with a plurality of receptacles for optional positioning of the threaded bolt. This allows the device to be optimally adapted to the wheel diameter present in each case. In the case of wheels of smaller diameter, the threaded bolts can be attached relatively far inside, so that the space requirement on the surface to be attached, for example on the ceiling, can be kept to a minimum.
  • the vehicle wheels are usually relatively heavy, it can be difficult, in particular for weaker people, to pivot the support unit folded down and carrying the vehicle wheel into its storage position. This can be facilitated by a suitable spring device.
  • the base unit is designed as a base plate with receiving elements for the support device.
  • the base unit can be screwed directly to the building ceiling via the base plate.
  • the base unit is constructed from two substantially congruent U-shaped profile sections.
  • profile sections are simple and inexpensive to produce, the selected profile shape allowing an optimal connection of the support devices, for example via pivot bolts.
  • the two-part design allows the optional arrangement of a device for the common storage of, for example, four Wheels or the separate attachment of two wheels, which can be advantageous in extremely confined spaces.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view of a device according to a first embodiment in the storage position.
  • FIGS. 2A and B show a side view of a vehicle wheel with a preassembled holding plate and a cross-sectional view through this vehicle wheel before the holding plate is attached;
  • 3A, B and C a side view of the device according to
  • Fig. 1 wherein a support device for attaching a vehicle wheel is folded down and another support device is already pivoted into the storage position, as well as a cross-sectional view along the line A-A of Fig. 3A, and a cross-sectional view through a receiving element with an alternative embodiment of a plug pin;
  • FIG. 4 shows a cross section through a carrying device with a connected vehicle wheel according to a second embodiment
  • 5A and B are a bottom view and a cross section of a conical protective element
  • Base unit is made in two parts, in individual parts and as an assembly drawing.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 A first exemplary embodiment of a device 10 for storing vehicle wheels 26 or vehicle tires is described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • the device 10 has a base unit in the form of a base plate 12 which can be attached to a building ceiling.
  • the base plate 12 can have different shapes, in the exemplary embodiment shown it is essentially square and has receiving elements 44 at the respective corners which have a U-shaped cross section, the free legs being substantially perpendicular to the plane of the base plate 12 run and point downward in the assembled state of the device 10.
  • Support devices in the form of arms 14 are received in these four receiving devices 44 and pivotally connected to these receiving devices 44 via pivot pins 46.
  • the arms 14 likewise have a U-shaped cross section, the arms 14 being arranged within the legs of the receiving elements 44 in the exemplary embodiment shown.
  • These threaded bolts 24 have a diameter which makes it possible to push all common vehicle wheels with different hub openings 40 onto these threaded bolts 24.
  • the plug-on path or the axial position of the vehicle wheel 26 can be preset, so that the threaded nut 28a has to travel a shorter distance to tighten the vehicle wheel.
  • the threaded nut 28b thus counteracts the vehicle wheel 26.
  • the device 10 In order to completely rule out damage to the hub opening 40, the device 10 according to the first exemplary embodiment has a retaining disk 30 and a protective element 32, between which the vehicle wheel 26 can be accommodated, so that the threaded nuts 28a and 28b no longer come into direct contact with the vehicle wheels can come.
  • the holding disk 30 is designed in such a way that it can be attached to the side of the vehicle wheel 26 facing away from the threaded rod 24.
  • This retaining washer 30 is fastened via a bolt hole 54 in the vehicle wheel 26 with a screw bolt 50 and a nut 52.
  • the holding disk 30 has a radially extending elongated hole 38, so that an opening 42 of the holding disk 30 can always be aligned coaxially with the hub hole 40.
  • the protective element in the form of a cover cap 32 is arranged on the opposite side of the vehicle wheel 26.
  • This cover cap 32 is pot-shaped, with the open side facing the vehicle wheel 26.
  • the particularly simple handling of the device results, for example, from FIG. 3A.
  • the left half of the device 10 represents the recording position, while the right half symbolizes the storage position.
  • the foldable arms 14 allow the vehicle wheels 26 to be attached at an ergonomic working height. For storage, the arms 14 are pivoted upwards and fixed by a corresponding locking device 18. However, the folded arms 14 can also be designed to be fixable, since this makes it easier to put on the vehicle wheels 26 in that the arms 14 can no longer swing away when touched.
  • the locking devices 18 can also consist of a plug pin 20 indicated in FIG. 3C, a detachable securing bracket 22 shown in FIG. 3A or a latching device (not shown). As shown in FIG. 3A, either the plug pin 20 or the securing bracket 22 can be repositioned in order to fix the arm 14 in the two positions.
  • the socket pin 20 is bent out in the middle in the manner of an eccentric. This makes it possible to compensate for any play when fixing the support device 14 in the folded-up state and to press the support device 14 firmly against the receiving element 44.
  • the pivoting movement of the arm 14 can be supported by a spring device, not shown, so that even weaker people are able to operate this device '.
  • vehicle tires with the device according to the invention can of course also be stored in a space-saving manner by means of suitable holding devices.
  • FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 show alternative configurations or arrangements of protective elements in the form of conical hollow cover caps 34 and 36.
  • two cover caps 34, 36 are provided in the same direction.
  • the upper arm 14 facing Cover cap 36 passes through the hub opening 40 of the vehicle wheel 26, the lower cover cap 34 supports the vehicle wheel 26 with the end of the large diameter.
  • the cone shape is chosen so that on the one hand hub holes 40 are penetrated in the usual diameter ranges, so that a secure contact of the hub hole 40 is always achieved.
  • the maximum diameter must be selected to be large enough to ensure that the vehicle wheel 26 is securely supported.
  • the caps 34, 36 are attached via the threaded nuts 28c and 28d, which are integrated in the caps 34, 36 in the present case. If the cover caps 34, 36 are made of plastic, the threaded nuts 28c, 28d can be cast in directly during the manufacturing process.
  • FIG 6 shows various options for attaching the cover caps 34, 36 to the threaded bolts 24.
  • FIG. 6B corresponds to the above-described arrangement of the two cover caps 34, 36 in the same direction.
  • the cover caps 34, 36 according to FIG. 6A are attached in opposite directions to the threaded bolt 24.
  • FIG. 6C shows on the one hand the possibility of attaching the threaded bolt 24 to the arm 14 at different positions.
  • the arm 14 has bores 15 spaced apart from one another, into which the threaded bolt 24 can optionally be inserted.
  • a further modification of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 6C relates to an additional threaded bolt 24a which can be screwed onto the threaded bolt 24. This alternative enables optimum height adjustment or positioning of the vehicle wheel 26 in relation to the arm 14.
