Description
- The present invention relates to a supporting and lifting device for motorcycles.
- As is known, lifting stands represent dispensable fittings to perform works on modern motorcycles, which are usually devoid of a central stand, or in which, even if such a central stand exists, it is not adapted to provide the required stability and strength characteristics to perform works in a safety condition.
- In each case, as a work must be carried on the motorcycle front portion, it is necessary to use a from wheel lifting stand.
- Prior fitting stands conventionally comprise a fork device the arms of which engage the end portion of the motorcycle rear fork or the end portions of the motorcycle front forks.
- Usually, the motorcycle must be arranged on the rear stand and then on the front one.
- For the front stand at least two types of attachments are known, that is a pin system including pins for engaging in holes formed in the motorcycle forks at the bottom of their stems, or a rubber support system to be arranged under to brake caliper.
- Further lifting or raising stands are moreover known, with an under-sleeve bearing system, adapted to raise the front portion of the motorcycle, while leaving the motorcycle fork stems free, as it is necessary to perform working operations thereon. Such a stand is disclosed in
US 7204475 . - For arranging the motorcycle on the stands two persons are required, a first person, optionally straddling the motorcycle, for supporting the latter, and a second person for applying the rear stand to the rear motorcycle fork, and to raise, by a swinging movement, the motorcycle rear wheel.
- Thus, after having stabilized the motorcycle on the rear stand, it is possible to apply the front stand to also raise the motorcycle front wheel.
- Said stands may be used on a lifting or raising bridge assembly, to operate easily on the bottom motorcycle parts.
- The above mentioned prior motorcycle lifting or raising stands have the drawback that they cannot be used by a single operator.
- On the other hand, both from a professional and a personal use standpoint, the need has been felt of having a lifting or raising stand device adapted to be used by a single person, without auxiliary operators or apparatus.
- Accordingly, the aim of the present invention is to provide such a supporting and lifting device to be used with motorcycles, and requiring a single operator for working on the motorcycle in a fully safe and non fatiguing manner.
- Within the scope of the above mentioned aim, a main object of the present invention is to provide such a lifting device which is adapted to be used both as a motorcycle lifting stand and a motorcycle support, in any environments and conditions, in a motorcycle shop, in a garage and also adapted for transporting the motorcycle.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such a lifting device or stand which is very simple construction wise and may be fully manual operated, without the need of including motor means for driving it.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a lifting device which may be made by using easily available elements and materials and which, moreover, is very competitive from a mere economic standpoint.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a lifting device which, owing to its specifically designed structural features, is very reliable and safe in operation.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, the above mentioned aim and objects, as well as yet other objects, which will become more apparent hereinafter, are achieved by a supporting and lifting device for motorcycles, characterized in that said device comprises a device base supporting a swinging element including an open-L contoured plate.
- Said swinging element is pivoted to said base and includes two operating positions: a motorcycle wheel receiving position and a motorcycle wheel locking position.
- An abutment casing is removably coupled to the base, at a front position and axially arranged with respect to the swinging element.
- The abutment casing is so designed as to encompass at least partially a motorcycle wheel portion, while laterally supporting said wheel.
- Said lifting device comprises moreover a lever lifting mechanism, for lifting the motorcycle wheel, as the swinging element is in its locking position.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent hereinafter from the following disclosure of a preferred, though not exclusive, embodiment of the invention, which is illustrated, by way of an indicative, but not limitative, example, in the accompanying drawings, where:
-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the motorcycle supporting and lifting device according to the present invention; -
Figure 2 is an perspective exploded view of the inventive supporting and lifting device; -
Figure 3 is a side elevation view showing a first operating step for engaging a motorcycle front wheel in the device; -
Figure 4 is a view similar tofigure 3 , showing a further operating step for locking the motorcycle front wheel; -
Figure 5 is a view similar tofigure 4 , showing a further operating step for lifting the motorcycle front wheel; -
Figure 6 is a view similar tofigure 5 , showing the motorcycle without its front wheel, in a locked condition; -
Figure 7 is a front view, on an enlarged scale, showing in a detailed manner the safety locking means in a position therein the driving system is freely operated;
and -
Figure 8 is a view similar tofigure 7 showing the safety locking means in a locking position thereof. - With reference to the number references of the above mentioned figures, the motorcycle supporting and lifting device according to the present invention, which has been generally indicated by the
reference number 1, comprises abase 2, supporting a swingingelement 3 comprising a L open contoured plate. - The swinging
element 3 is pivoted to thebase 2 and is adapted to assume two operating positions, that is a receiving or engaging position and a locking position. - An
abutment casing 4 is removably associated to thebase 2, at a front position, and axially aligned with the swingingelement 3. - As shown, the
abutment casing 4 has a U-shape and is designed for receiving a portion of thewheel 101 of amotorcycle 100 so as to laterally support it. - The
device 1 comprises moreover a lever lifting or raising mechanism, comprising, in this embodiment, a pair of lifting or raisingarms 5 each having a bottom end portion pivoted to saidbase 2 atrespective anchoring elements 6, and a top end portion including attachment means 7, designed for engaging a bottom end portion of the stems of amotorcycle 100 fork. - The lifting mechanism comprises a lifting or raising
tubular element 8, having a U-shape, and pivoted to lateral supportingelements 9 clamped to saidbase 2. - The free end portions of the lifting
tubular element 8 are in turn pivoted to respective end portions of a pair oflevers 10, in turn pivoted, at their opposite ends, to the liftingarms 5. - According to the invention, the lifting mechanism defines two operating positions, that is a lowered operating position and a raised operating position (shown in
figure 1 ). - The attachment means 7 comprise a
sleeve element 11 welded to each top end portion of thearms 5 and adapted to receive therein a slidablesmall arm 12, which may be locked by a lockingbutterfly knob 13. - Said sliding
arm 12 supports aninterexchangeable pawl 14, adapted to engage in a bottom cavity formed at the bottom end portions of themotorcycle fork stems 102. - Different sizes of
pawls 14 may be screwed on in suitable threaded holes formed on thebase 2, thereby they will be immediately available. - The
device 1 further comprises safety locking means, generally indicated by thereference number 15, for safely locking the lifting device in its raised position. - Said safety locking means 15 have a locking position, shown in
figure 8 , in which they do not allow the liftingtubular element 8 to be displaced from the lifting position, and an unlatching position, shown infigure 7 , thereat the liftingtubular element 8 may be raised, to bring the lifting mechanism to a lowered position. - As shown, the safety locking means comprise a movable pin or
peg 16, which may be driven against aurging spring 17 on asupport 18 rigid with thebase 2. - In the locking position, shown in
figure 8 , theurging spring 17 will maintain saidpeg 16 in an interference position with thetubular element 8 movement. - In order to allow the
tubular element 8 to be moved, thepeg 16 may be driven to a non-interference position, as shown infigure 7 . - The supporting and lifting device according to the present invention operates as follows.

figure 3 , the device is arranged at a rest position, ready for receiving the front wheel of amotorcycle 100. - In such a condition or position, the swinging
element 3 is arranged at a receiving position and the lifting or raising mechanism is arranged at a lowering position. - An operator, optionally bridging on the motorcycle, engages the
front wheel 101 in the swinging element and, by slightly pushing it, will cause the wheel to be frontward displaced, thereby rotatively driving theswinging element 3, which will assume its locking position, shown infigure 4 . - In this position, the
motorcycle wheel 101 abuts with theabutment carter 4 and is supported laterally thereby. - The swinging
element 3 is raised at the rear, thereby locking thewheel 101 preventing it from performing an undesired backward movement. - At this time, the motorcycle will be arranged in a stable condition and the operator may release his gripping or, if he is bridging the motorcycle, may leave the motorcycle and continue his working operations.
- Preferably, in this step, the operator will apply a
rear stand 200 for raising and stabilizing the motorcycle rear part. - In such a position, the operator will engage the raising or lifting mechanism attachment means 7 in the bottom end portions of the motorcycle fork stems 102.
- In this connection it should be pointed out that said attachment means may be adjusted depending on the fork size, by causing the
small arms 12 to slide and, if necessary, by replacing thepawls 14. - Then, it is possible to operate the raising or lifting mechanism, by lowering the
tubular element 8 and consequently raising thearms 5 and the front portion of themotorcycle 100, as shown infigure 5 . -
Figure 6 shows the subject device in an operating position thereof, with the motorcycle without thefront wheel 101 and supported at the rear by therear stand 200. - It should be self evident that, in this position, the
abutment carter 4 may be removed for facilitating the wheel disassembling operations. - It has been found that the invention fully achieves the intended aim and objects.
