The inventive system comprises: cycles, each cycle (1) bearing a locking member (11) which extends downwards; and fixed locking stations (7), each station comprising an upwardly-open strike which is designed to receive the locking member (11) of one of the cycles and to hold said member in place when in the locked position. Moreover, the locking member (11) and the strike (8) are disposed so that, when the cycle (1) is positioned such that the locking member (11) thereof is above the strike (8), said locking member penetrates the strike and occupies the locked position under the weight of the cycle.

Description

Système automatique de stockage de cycles.Automatic cycle storage system.
La présente invention est relative aux systèmes automatiques de stockage de cycles, destinés notamment à la mise à disposition temporaire de cycles auprès du public. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un système automatique de stockage de cycles comprenant : une pluralité de cycles (par exemple des bicyclettes) portant chacun un organe de verrouillage, - une pluralité de postes de verrouillage fixes comportant chacun au moins une gâche adaptée pour recevoir l'organe de verrouillage de l'un des cycles et pour retenir ledit organe de verrouillage lorsqu'il atteint une position de verrouillage. Un tel système de stockage de cycles peut être utilisé par exemple pour mettre des cycles à disposition du public, moyennant identification de l'emprunteur du cycle et éventuellement paiement d'une location auprès d'une borne de contrôle. Le document EP-A-0 875 867 décrit un exemple d'un tel système de stockage de cycles, dans lequel les cycles se verrouillent sur les postes de verrouillage par engagement horizontal du premier organe de verrouillage de chaque cycle dans la gâche d'un poste de verrouillage. Ce système connu de stockage de cycles présente notamment l'inconvénient que, lorsqu'un utilisateur remet un cycle à un poste de verrouillage après l'avoir utilisé, il risque de n'engager que partiellement l'organe de verrouillage du cycle dans la gâche du poste de verrouillage. Dans ce cas, l'utilisateur peut penser avoir verrouillé son cycle sur le poste de verrouillage du fait que l'organe de verrouillage est partiellement engagé dans la gâche, mais le cycle n'est en fait pas immobilisé et peut donc être ultérieurement volé. La présente invention a notamment pour but de pallier cet inconvénient. A cet effet, selon l'invention, un système de stockage de cycles du genre en question est caractérisé en ce que l'organe de verrouillage de chaque cycle s'étend vers le bas, en ce que la gâche de chaque poste de verrouillage est ouverte vers le haut, et en ce que l'organe de verrouillage et la gâche sont disposés pour que, lorsque le cycle est positionné avec l'organe de verrouillage au-dessus de la gâche, ledit organe de verrouillage pénètre dans ladite gâche jusqu'en position de verrouillage sous le poids du cycle. Grâce à ces dispositions, on garantit un bon verrouillage du cycle au poste de verrouillage, puisque ce verrouillage se fait par simple gravité après que l'organe de verrouillage du cycle a été placé au-dessus de la gâche du poste de verrouillage. Dans différents modes de réalisation de l'invention, on peut éventuellement avoir recours en outre à l'une et/ou à l'autre des dispositions suivantes : - l'organe de verrouillage et la gâche sont disposés pour que, lorsque le cycle est verrouillé au poste de verrouillage, le cycle ne repose pas sur toutes ses roues ; le cycle comporte un cadre, une roue arrière, une roue avant, un guidon et une fourche reliée à la roue avant, et l'organe de verrouillage est solidaire d'un élément choisi parmi le cadre du cycle et la fourche du cycle ; chaque cycle comporte un dispositif d'identification, et chaque poste de verrouillage comporte un dispositif de lecture adapté pour lire le dispositif d'identification porté par le cycle ; la gâche de chaque poste de verrouillage comporte : au moins un organe de blocage mobile entre, d'une part, une position active où ledit organe de blocage est adapté pour coopérer avec l'organe de verrouillage d'un des cycles afin d'immobiliser ce cycle, et d'autre part, une position effacée où ledit organe de blocage libère ledit organe de verrouillage, et au moins un dispositif d' actionnement adapté pour déplacer l'organe de blocage entre sa position active et sa position effacée ; l'organe de verrouillage présente un évidemment, tandis que l'organe de blocage est adapté pour pénétrer dans ledit évidement, l'organe de blocage comportant un bord de came incliné qui est adapté pour coopérer avec l'organe de blocage pour déplacer temporairement ledit organe de blocage dans sa position effacée par effet de came lorsque ledit organe de blocage est engagé dans la gâche réception du poste de verrouillage, et le bec du levier de verrouillage comportant en outre une face d'arrêt qui est adaptée pour coopérer avec l'organe de verrouillage de façon à retenir ledit organe de verrouillage dans la gâche du poste de verrouillage lorsque l'organe de blocage est dans sa position de verrouillage ; le poste de verrouillage est constitué par une borne de verrouillage ancrée au sol. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description suivante d'une de ses formes de réalisation, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard des dessins joints. Sur les dessins : la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective montrant un système automatique de stockage de cycles selon une forme de réalisation de l'invention, la figure 2 est une vue de détail montrant le verrouillage d'un cycle sur l'un des postes de verrouillage de la figure 1, - la figure 3 est une vue de détail montrant la gâche du poste de verrouillage de la figure 2, en vue d'avant, le capot de protection de cette gâche ayant été omis pour plus de clarté, - la figure 4 est une vue d'arrière de la gâche de la figure 3, avec son capot, - la figure 5 montre l'un des cycles en place sur l'un des postes de verrouillage de la figure 1, - et les figures 6 et 7 montrent deux variantes de l'invention avec des implantations différentes de l'organe de verrouillage porté par les cycles. Sur les différentes figures, les mêmes références désignent des éléments identiques ou similaires Comme représenté sur la figure 1, la présente invention concerne un système automatique de stockage de cycles 1 tels que notamment des bicyclettes, permettant par exemple de stocker des cycles sur la voie publique de façon à les mettre à disposition du public. Ce système automatique de stockage de cycles peut comporter une borne interactive 2 dotée d'une interface utilisateur comprenant par exemple un clavier 3, un écran 4 et un lecteur de cartes portatives électronique 5. La borne interactive 2 est reliée, par exemple par une liaison filaire enterrée 6, à une pluralité de postes de verrouillage 7 qui peuvent par exemple se présenter sous la forme de bornes de verrouillage fixées au sol sur la voie publique. Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, chaque poste de verrouillage 7 comporte une gâche 8 formant un boîtier doté d'une ouverture échancrée 9 ouverte vers le haut et comportant en outre, de préférence, une interface de communication 10 servant de dispositif de lecture pour identifier les cycles 1. Chaque cycle 1 comporte, quant à lui, un organe de verrouillage 11 qui peut être solidaire du cadre 12 du cycle et qui s'étend vers le bas de façon à pouvoir s'engager verticalement dans la fente 9 de la gâche 8. Dans l'exemple particulier représenté sur la figure 2, l'organe de verrouillage 11 se présente sous la forme d'une tôle découpée qui s'étend sensiblement verticalement vers le bas depuis un collier 13 fixé rigidement au cadre 12 (notamment sur la partie centrale 12a du cadre 12), jusqu'à une extrémité libre inférieure où ladite tôle présente un évide ent 14. L'organe de verrouillage 11 est par ailleurs pourvu d'une interface de communication 15 servant de dispositif d'identification du cycle 1 et adaptée pour communiquer avec l'interface de communication 10 de la gâche, de préférence sans contact physique, par exemple par induction. L'interface de communication 15 peut ainsi transmettre un code d'identification du cycle 1 à l'interface de communication 10, notamment lors de la mise en place du cycle sur le poste de verrouillage. Comme représenté sur les figures 3 et 4, la gâche 8 peut comporter un capot protecteur 16 qui définit l'ouverture 9 destinée à recevoir l'organe de verrouillage 11 du cycle. A l'intérieur de cette ouverture 9, un organe de blocage 17 tel qu'un crochet, est monté mobile entre d'une part, une position active où ledit organe de blocage est adapté pour s'engager dans l' évidement 14 de l'organe de verrouillage 11 afin d'immobiliser le cycle 1 au poste de verrouillage 7, et d'autre part, une position effacée où ledit organe de blocage libère l'organe de verrouillage. Dans l'exemple particulier représenté sur les figures 3 et 4, l'organe de blocage 17 est monté pivotant autour d'un axe horizontal X, entre les deux positions susmentionnées. De plus, l'organe de blocage 17 est sollicité élastiquement vers sa position active par au moins un ressort 18 ou similaire, dans le sens de la flèche 19 (figure 3) . Ledit organe de blocage peut être déplacé dans sa position effacée, lors du verrouillage d'un cycle au poste de verrouillage 7, par coopération entre l'extrémité libre de l'organe de verrouillage 11 et un bord de came incliné 20 appartenant au crochet 17. L'organe de blocage 17 laisse ainsi le passage à l'organe de verrouillage 11, jusqu'à ce que l' évidement 14 dudit organe de verrouillage vienne en face dudit organe de blocage et permette à cet organe de blocage de revenir en position active sous l'action du ressort 18. l'organe de blocage 17 pénètre alors dans l' évidement 14 de l'organe de verrouillage, et une face d'arrêt 21 dudit organe de verrouillage coopère alors avec 1' évidement 14 de l'organe de verrouillage pour empêcher que ledit organe de verrouillage puisse être ressorti de la gâche 8. Par ailleurs, pour permettre de déverrouiller un cycle 1 déjà en place sur un poste de verrouillage 7, la gâche 8 comporte un dispositif d' actionnement électrique 22, par exemple un dispositif à solénoïde, qui est commandé par exemple à partir de la borne interactive 2 et qui permet de déplacer l'organe de blocage 17 dans sa position effacée . A titre d'exemple, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 4, le dispositif d' actionnement 22 peut comporter une tige de sortie coulissante 23 reliée par une bielle 24 ou similaire à un bras de levier appartenant à l'organe de blocage 17, de façon qu'un déplacement de la tige de sortie 23 dans la direction 25 déplace l'organe de blocage dans sa position effacée. Le système de stockage automatique de cycles qui vient d'être décrit peut fonctionner par exemple comme suit . Lorsqu'un utilisateur veut emprunter un cycle 1 en place sur l'un des postes de verrouillage 7, il peut par exemple insérer une carte électronique portative dans le lecteur 5 de la borne interactive 2 puis entrer un code secret au moyen du clavier 3, de façon à s'identifier auprès de la borne interactive 2. L'utilisateur peut ensuite choisir l'un des cycles 1, toujours au moyen du clavier 3. Au cours de ces différentes opérations, l'utilisateur est guidé par des indications données par l'écran 4. Une fois ces opérations effectuées, la borne interactive 2 commande la gâche 8 du poste de verrouillage 7 correspondant au cycle 1 choisi par l'utilisateur, de façon que le dispositif d' actionnement 22 de cette gâche déplace l'organe de blocage 17 en position effacée. Simultanément, la borne interactive 2 peut également commander le poste de verrouillage 7 correspondant de façon à faire clignoter un voyant 7a de ce poste de verrouillage, pour guider l'utilisateur vers le cycle choisi. L'utilisateur peut alors prendre le cycle 1 choisi en le soulevant, ce qui permet de sortir l'organe de verrouillage 11 de ce cycle hors de la gâche 8 du poste de verrouillage. L'interface de communication 10 du poste de verrouillage 7 repère alors l'enlèvement du cycle 1 et informe la borne interactive 2 qui, après un laps de temps prédéterminé, désactive le dispositif d' actionnement 22 de façon que l'organe de blocage 17 revienne en position active (ce retour en position active pourrait être le cas échéant commandé directement par un circuit électronique situé dans le poste de verrouillage 7, au lieu d'être commandé depuis la borne interactive 2) . Lorsqu'un utilisateur rend un cycle 1 et le met en place sur un poste de verrouillage 7, il doit tout d'abord soulever le cycle 1 pour présenter l'organe de verrouillage 11 au-dessus de la gâche 8, après quoi il lui suffit de relâcher le cycle 1 pour que l'organe de verrouillage 11 se déplace vers le bas jusque dans sa position de verrouillage, sous l'effet du poids du cycle. On notera qu'au cours de cette phase de fonctionnement, l'interface de communication 10 du poste de verrouillage communique avec l'interface de communication 15 du cycle de façon à identifier ce cycle. Bien entendu, les hauteurs respectives de l'organe de verrouillage 11 et de la gâche 8 sont adaptées pour que l'organe de verrouillage 11 puisse descendre jusqu'à sa position de verrouillage lorsque le cycle est mis en place sur le poste de verrouillage 7. Avantageusement, comme représenté sur la figure 5, la gâche 8 peut être disposée à une hauteur légèrement supérieure à la hauteur à laquelle se trouve l'organe de verrouillage 11 lorsque les deux roues du cycle reposent sur le sol. Ainsi, lorsque le cycle est en place sur le poste de verrouillage 7, l'une des roues 26 du cycle, par exemple la roue avant, ne repose pas sur le sol 27. On garantit ainsi un parfait verrouillage du cycle 1 au poste de verrouillage 7 malgré les tolérances de pose du poste de verrouillage 7 sur la voie publique et malgré les possibles irrégularités du sol. Avantageusement, la borne interactive 2 (ou un circuit électronique intégré dans le poste de verrouillage 7) peut commander le clignotement du voyant 7a du poste de verrouillage 7 pendant une durée prédéterminée après qu'un cycle 1 a été correctement verrouillé à ce poste de verrouillage, de façon à informer l'utilisateur du bon verrouillage. De plus, dans le même but, le mécanisme contenu dans la gâche 8 peut éventuellement être prévu pour émettre un bruit caractéristique, suffisamment fort pour être audible, lorsque le crochet 17 pénètre dans 1' évidement 14 de l'organe de verrouillage 11 du cycle. Eventuellement, le poste de verrouillage 7 pourrait également comprendre des moyens d'émissions sonores commandés par la borne interactive 2 ou par un circuit électronique contenu dans le poste de verrouillage 7, de façon à émettre un signal sonore caractéristique lorsqu'un cycle 1 a été correctement verrouillé sur un poste de verrouillage 7. Comme représenté sur les figures 6 et 7, l'organe de verrouillage 11 de chaque cycle pourrait être monté sur toute partie du cycle 1 lié au cadre 12, la configuration du poste de verrouillage 7 et la position de la gâche 8 étant alors adaptées en conséquence. Ainsi, comme représenté sur la figure 6, l'organe de verrouillage 11 pourrait être fixé à la fourche avant 28 sur laquelle est montée la roue avant 26 et qui est solidaire du guidon 29. En variante, comme représenté sur la figure 7, l'organe de verrouillage 11 pourrait être fixé sur la partie arrière 12b du cadre 12, sur laquelle est montée la roue arrière 26. Par ailleurs, lorsque l'organe de verrouillage 11 est fixé sur la partie centrale 12a du cadre 12, comme dans l'exemple de la figure 2, cet organe de verrouillage pourrait s'étendre le cas échéant directement vers le bas au-dessous du cadre 12, au lieu d'être disposé latéralement par rapport au cadre 12 comme dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 2. The present invention relates to automatic cycle storage systems, intended in particular for the temporary provision of cycles to the public. More particularly, the invention relates to an automatic cycle storage system comprising: a plurality of cycles (for example bicycles) each carrying a locking member, - a plurality of fixed locking stations each comprising at least one keeper adapted to receive the locking member of one of the cycles and for retaining said locking member when it reaches a locking position. Such a cycle storage system can be used for example to make cycles available to the public, subject to identification of the cycle borrower and possibly payment of a rental from a control terminal. Document EP-A-0 875 867 describes an example of such a cycle storage system, in which the cycles are locked on the locking stations by horizontal engagement of the first locking member of each cycle in the keeper of a locking station. This known cycle storage system has the particular disadvantage that, when a user hands over a cycle to a locking station after using it, he risks only partially engaging the cycle locking member in the keeper. of the locking station. In this case, the user may think that he has locked his cycle on the locking station because the locking member is partially engaged in the keeper, but the cycle is in fact not immobilized and can therefore be subsequently stolen. The object of the present invention is in particular to overcome this drawback. To this end, according to the invention, a cycle storage system of the kind in question is characterized in that the locking member of each cycle extends downward, in that the keeper of each locking station is open upwards, and in that the locking member and the strike are arranged so that, when the cycle is positioned with the locking member above the strike, said locking member enters said strike until in the locked position under the weight of the cycle. Thanks to these provisions, a good locking of the cycle is guaranteed at the locking station, since this locking is done by simple gravity after the cycle locking member has been placed above the keeper of the locking station. In different embodiments of the invention, one can optionally have recourse to one and / or the other of the following provisions: the locking member and the keeper are arranged so that, when the cycle is locked at the locking station, the cycle does not rest on all of its wheels; the cycle comprises a frame, a rear wheel, a front wheel, a handlebar and a fork connected to the front wheel, and the locking member is secured to an element chosen from the cycle frame and the cycle fork; each cycle comprises an identification device, and each locking station comprises a reading device suitable for reading the identification device carried by the cycle; the keeper of each locking station comprises: at least one movable blocking member between, on the one hand, an active position where said blocking member is adapted to cooperate with the locking member of one of the cycles in order to immobilize this cycle, and on the other hand, a retracted position where said blocking member releases said member from locking, and at least one actuating device adapted to move the locking member between its active position and its erased position; the locking member has a recess, while the locking member is adapted to enter said recess, the locking member having an inclined cam edge which is adapted to cooperate with the locking member to temporarily move said locking member in its position erased by cam effect when said locking member is engaged in the strike plate receiving the locking station, and the spout of the locking lever further comprising a stop face which is adapted to cooperate with the locking member so as to retain said locking member in the keeper of the locking station when the locking member is in its locking position; the locking station consists of a locking terminal anchored to the ground. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear during the following description of one of its embodiments, given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings: FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing an automatic cycle storage system according to an embodiment of the invention, FIG. 2 is a detail view showing the locking of a cycle on one locking stations of Figure 1, - Figure 3 is a detail view showing the keep of the locking station of figure 2, in front view, the protective cover of this keep having been omitted for clarity, - figure 4 is a rear view of the keep of figure 3, with its cover, - Figure 5 shows one of the cycles in place on one of the locking stations of Figure 1, - and Figures 6 and 7 show two variants of the invention with different locations of the organ of locking carried by the cycles. In the different figures, the same references designate identical or similar elements. As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention relates to an automatic system for storing cycles 1 such as in particular bicycles, making it possible, for example, to store cycles on public roads. so as to make them available to the public. This automatic cycle storage system can include an interactive terminal 2 provided with a user interface comprising for example a keyboard 3, a screen 4 and an electronic portable card reader 5. The interactive terminal 2 is connected, for example by a link buried wire 6, to a plurality of locking stations 7 which may for example be in the form of locking terminals fixed to the ground on the public road. As can be seen in FIG. 2, each locking station 7 comprises a keeper 8 forming a housing provided with a notched opening 9 open upwards and preferably also comprising a communication interface 10 serving as a device for reading to identify the cycles 1. Each cycle 1 comprises, for its part, a locking member 11 which may be integral with the frame 12 of the cycle and which extends downwards so as to be able to engage vertically in the slot 9 of the keeper 8. In the particular example shown in Figure 2, the locking member 11 is in the form of a cut sheet which extends substantially vertically downward a collar 13 rigidly fixed to the frame 12 (in particular on the central part 12a of the frame 12), up to a lower free end where said sheet has a recess ent 14. The locking member 11 is moreover provided with an interface communication 15 serving as a cycle 1 identification device and suitable for communicating with the communication interface 10 of the keeper, preferably without physical contact, for example by induction. The communication interface 15 can thus transmit a cycle 1 identification code to the communication interface 10, in particular when the cycle is put in place on the locking station. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the keeper 8 may include a protective cover 16 which defines the opening 9 intended to receive the locking member 11 of the cycle. Inside this opening 9, a blocking member 17 such as a hook, is mounted movable between on the one hand, an active position where said blocking member is adapted to engage in the recess 14 of the 'locking member 11 to immobilize the cycle 1 at the locking station 7, and secondly, a cleared position where said locking member releases the locking member. In the particular example shown in Figures 3 and 4, the locking member 17 is pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis X, between the two positions mentioned above. In addition, the locking member 17 is resiliently biased towards its active position by at least one spring 18 or the like, in the direction of the arrow 19 (FIG. 3). Said locking member can be moved in its position cleared, when locking a cycle at the locking station 7, by cooperation between the free end of the locking member 11 and an inclined cam edge 20 belonging to the hook 17. The locking member 17 thus leaves the passage to the locking member 11, until the recess 14 of said locking member comes in front of said locking member and allows this locking member to return to the active position under the action of spring 18. the blocking member 17 then enters the recess 14 of the locking member, and a stop face 21 of said locking member then cooperates with the recess 14 of the locking member to prevent said member from lock can be released from the keeper 8. Furthermore, to allow unlocking a cycle 1 already in place on a lock station 7, the keeper 8 includes an electrical actuation device 22, for example a solenoid device, which is controlled for example from the interactive terminal 2 and which makes it possible to move the locking member 17 in its erased position. By way of example, as can be seen in FIG. 4, the actuating device 22 can comprise a sliding outlet rod 23 connected by a connecting rod 24 or similar to a lever arm belonging to the blocking member 17 , so that a displacement of the outlet rod 23 in the direction 25 moves the locking member in its retracted position. The automatic cycle storage system which has just been described can operate, for example, as follows. When a user wants to borrow a cycle 1 in place on one of the locking stations 7, he can for example insert a portable electronic card in the reader 5 of the interactive terminal 2 then enter a code secret by means of the keyboard 3, so as to identify himself with the interactive terminal 2. The user can then choose one of the cycles 1, always by means of the keyboard 3. During these various operations, the user is guided by indications given by the screen 4. Once these operations have been carried out, the interactive terminal 2 controls the keeper 8 of the locking station 7 corresponding to the cycle 1 chosen by the user, so that the actuating device 22 of this keeper moves the blocking member 17 in the retracted position. Simultaneously, the interactive terminal 2 can also control the corresponding locking station 7 so as to make an indicator light 7a of this locking station flash, to guide the user towards the chosen cycle. The user can then take the cycle 1 chosen by lifting it, which allows the locking member 11 to be removed from this cycle from the keeper 8 of the locking station. The communication interface 10 of the locking station 7 then locates the removal of cycle 1 and informs the interactive terminal 2 which, after a predetermined period of time, deactivates the actuation device 22 so that the blocking member 17 return to the active position (this return to the active position could if necessary be controlled directly by an electronic circuit located in the locking station 7, instead of being controlled from the interactive terminal 2). When a user makes a cycle 1 and sets it up on a locking station 7, he must first lift the cycle 1 to present the locking member 11 above the keeper 8, after which he it suffices to release the cycle 1 so that the locking member 11 moves down to its locking position, under the effect of the weight of the cycle. Note that during this phase of In operation, the communication interface 10 of the locking station communicates with the communication interface 15 of the cycle so as to identify this cycle. Of course, the respective heights of the locking member 11 and the keeper 8 are adapted so that the locking member 11 can descend to its locking position when the cycle is set up on the locking station 7 Advantageously, as shown in FIG. 5, the keeper 8 can be disposed at a height slightly greater than the height at which the locking member 11 is located when the two wheels of the cycle rest on the ground. Thus, when the cycle is in place on the locking station 7, one of the wheels 26 of the cycle, for example the front wheel, does not rest on the ground 27. This guarantees perfect locking of the cycle 1 at the position of Locking 7 despite the tolerances for installing the locking station 7 on public roads and despite the possible unevenness of the ground. Advantageously, the interactive terminal 2 (or an electronic circuit integrated in the locking station 7) can control the flashing of the indicator light 7a of the locking station 7 for a predetermined duration after a cycle 1 has been correctly locked at this locking station. , so as to inform the user of the correct locking. In addition, for the same purpose, the mechanism contained in the keeper 8 may possibly be provided to emit a characteristic noise, strong enough to be audible, when the hook 17 enters the recess 14 of the locking member 11 of the cycle. . Optionally, the locking station 7 could also comprise means of sound emissions controlled by the interactive terminal 2 or by an electronic circuit contained in the locking station 7, so as to emit a characteristic sound signal when cycle 1 has been correctly locked on a locking station 7. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the locking member 11 of each cycle could be mounted on any part of cycle 1 linked to the frame 12, the configuration of the locking 7 and the position of the striker 8 then being adapted accordingly. Thus, as shown in Figure 6, the locking member 11 could be fixed to the front fork 28 on which is mounted the front wheel 26 and which is integral with the handlebar 29. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 7, l locking member 11 could be fixed to the rear part 12b of the frame 12, on which the rear wheel is mounted 26. Furthermore, when the locking member 11 is fixed to the central part 12a of the frame 12, as in 'example of Figure 2, this locking member could extend if necessary directly down below the frame 12, instead of being arranged laterally relative to the frame 12 as in the example shown in the figure 2.
