Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of vehicles, including automobiles. It relates, more specifically, the support of one or more bicycles by a bicycle carrier secured to a vehicle.
- Roof bike carriers consist of two distinct parts: the roof bars, which are fixed on the roof of a vehicle, and the bike carrier, which is fixed on these roof bars.
- This type of bicycle carrier has the advantage of providing a good fixation of the bicycles, it ensures a good security as to the position of the bicycles on the roof of a vehicle.
- roof bike carriers have the disadvantage of not being ergonomic in that it is difficult to place the bikes on the roof of a vehicle, especially if the vehicle has a height important roof.
- a vehicle equipped with such a bicycle carrier and supporting one or more bicycles can access all limited access spaces by a defined vehicle height.
- the bicycle or bikes on the roof affect the aerodynamics of the vehicle, increasing fuel consumption.
- Tailgate carriers consist of a frame, secured to a hatch with straps, the frame includes a fork to receive one or more bicycles.
- This type of bike carrier has the advantage of being quickly mountable on the tailgate of a vehicle.
- the tailgate bicycle carriers have the disadvantage of not being able to adapt to any type of vehicle. Indeed, this type of bicycle carrier can not be mounted on a hatch comprising a composite material or a shutter consisting only of a window.
- the fixing system of this type of bike carrier is not completely reliable in that it can support a limited amount of bicycles without causing the possible detachment of the bike carrier of the tailgate, because of the weight of bicycles.
- the bike carriers on hitch consist of a hitch, a hitch ball for example, and a frame supporting several bikes.
- This type of bike carrier has the advantage of being robust and ergonomic. Bikes are easily put in place and held in position with this type of bike rack.
- bike carriers on hitch means have the disadvantage of hiding the rear visibility of the driver, the rear lights of the vehicle and the license plate. In addition, they prevent the opening of the trunk of the vehicle.
- EP2134571 discloses a bicycle carrier intended to be positioned on the coupling of a vehicle, the bicycle carrier being able to extend, by a longitudinal translation guided through the bumper of the vehicle, and more particularly under the bumper, at the base of the vehicle.
- the bicycle rack includes a means of tilting the bicycles, allowing access to the trunk of the vehicle.
- this bicycle carrier has the disadvantage of hiding the rear visibility of the driver, when bikes are arranged on the bicycle rack.
- the device also hides the rear lights of the vehicle and its license plate. .
- a first objective is to provide a compact and ergonomic bike support.
- a second objective is to provide a bicycle rack that does not hide the rear visibility of the driver, or the lights or the license plate of a vehicle.
- a third objective is to provide a bicycle holder ensuring a maintenance position of bicycles.
- this bicycle carrier intended to be mounted on a vehicle, this bicycle carrier comprising:
- a frame support intended to support, when the two slides are in an extended position, a bicycle frame, this frame support is mounted with one of the two slides between two positions:
- first position in which the frame support extends along a second axis, the first axis and the second axis being included in a first plane; and o a second position, wherein the frame support extends along a third axis, the first axis and the third axis being in a second plane, distinct from the first plane.
- such a support makes it easy to hang one or more bikes on a motor vehicle.
- This support when not in use and that the slides are in the initial position, is compact, so as to fit completely under the vehicle, at its base.
- the bicycle rack comprises two wheel supports, linked to the slides;
- the bicycle carrier comprises a base, intended to be fixed to the hitch fitting of the vehicle, the two slide supports being mounted in rotation with the base;
- the bicycle carrier comprises a locking means in translation, for preventing the sliding of the two slides in the two slide supports, this translational locking means comprising:

- the locking keys in rotation each comprising a primary return spring, pressing on a primary flange, so as to keep the locking key in rotation in contact with the slide, a handle, connected to each locking key in rotation by means of a sheath system and cables, so as to be able to move the locking keys in rotation of the slides, by pulling on the handle;
- the bicycle carrier comprises an armature, comprising two longitudinal bars with respect to the two slides and two longitudinal bars with respect to the two slides, the frame support being mounted in rotation, with the transverse bars, around an axis parallel to the first axis; ;
- the two slides are split into a fixed part and a pivoting part relative to the fixed part, about an axis transverse to the two slides;
- the bicycle carrier further comprises a primary fitting, intended to be fixed to a vehicle coupling fitting, and a secondary fitting, connected to the primary fitting, the secondary fitting being rotatably mounted relative to the two slides, around an axis transverse to the two slides.
