Abstract

The luggage carrier which can be mounted on the rear part of a vehicle can be adapted to carry a wide variety of loads. It consists of a frame with two vertical members (1) joined by a member (2a) across the top, an intermediate lower member (2b) parallel to it, and a bottom support parallel to them. The bottom support has two short end members (3) projecting at right angles to the verticals. These carry two parallel cross members (4,4a) forming a shelf. By using suitable straps, different sizes of suitcases resting on the shelf can be strapped against the vertical part of the frame. The parallel bottom members (4,4a) can house U-section channels (5) which can be extended telescopically. By using an upper clip (6,7) a bicycle can be secured to the frame, the wheels fitting into the channel extensions. By using suitable straps, these these extensions can be used to carry awkwardly shaped loads such as haversacks on each end.

Description

La présente invention est un Premier Certificat d'Addition à la demande de brevet Français NO 80 12578 du 6 Juin 1980. The present invention is a First Certificate of Addition to French patent application NO 80 12578 of June 6, 1980.

Dans la demande principale on a revendiqué un portebagages ou bicyclettes, constitué par une armature, comportant deux montants réunis par au moins une traverse, susceptible d'etre fixée derrière un véhicule automobile et supportant à sa partie inférieure, au moins, une traverse située dans un plan perpendiculaire auxdits montants et comportant à chacune de ses extrémités un bras coulissant affectant une section en forme d'U sur lequel pouvait reposer une roue de la bicyclette. In the main application, a luggage rack or bicycle is claimed, consisting of a frame, comprising two uprights joined by at least one cross member, capable of being fixed behind a motor vehicle and supporting at its lower part, at least, a cross member located in a plane perpendicular to said uprights and comprising at each of its ends a sliding arm affecting a U-shaped section on which a wheel of the bicycle could rest.

L'expérience a montré que lorsque le véhicule porteur empruntait un virage la bicyclette avait tendance à se déplacer latéralement par rapport audit véhicule et il était nécessaire de fixer chaque roue sur le bras correspondant à 1'aidedMnecourroie ou analogue avec tous les inconvénients que cela comportait. Experience has shown that when the carrier vehicle takes a turn the bicycle tends to move laterally relative to said vehicle and it is necessary to fix each wheel on the arm corresponding to the aid of a belt or the like with all the disadvantages that this entails. .

La présente invention qui remédie à ces inconvénients est remarquable en ce que chaque bras coulissant est constitué par une armature en forme de V dont chacune des branches peut coulisser et être immobilisée dans une traverse correspondante. The present invention which overcomes these drawbacks is remarkable in that each sliding arm is constituted by a V-shaped frame, each of the branches of which can slide and be immobilized in a corresponding crosspiece.

Lorsqu'on pose une bicyclette sur un tel portebagages, chaque roue s'engage partiellement entre les branches de l'armature en forme de V en prenant appui en deux points dont l'un est constitué par l'extrémité de ladite armature tandis que l'autre est constitué, par exemple, par la potence supportant la traverse. When a bicycle is placed on such a luggage rack, each wheel partially engages between the branches of the V-shaped frame, bearing at two points, one of which is formed by the end of said frame while the 'other is, for example, by the bracket supporting the crosspiece.

L'invention sera mieux comprise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant au dessin annexé à titre d'exemple indicatif seulement, sur lequel
La figure 1 est une vue en perspective du portebagages de l'invention
La figure 2 est une vue partielle à plus grande échelle, en élévation-coupe, montrant l'immobilisation dlune roue de bicyclette;
La figure 3 est une vue en élévation montrant le transport d'une bicyclette d'enfant;
La figure 4 est une vue analogue à celle 3 montrant le transport de bagages;
La figure 5 est une vue partielle en perspective montrant un détail de réalisation.
The invention will be better understood from the description which follows made with reference to the attached drawing by way of indicative example only, in which
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the luggage rack of the invention
Figure 2 is a partial view on a larger scale, in sectional elevation, showing the immobilization of a bicycle wheel;
Figure 3 is an elevational view showing the transport of a child's bicycle;
Figure 4 is a view similar to that 3 showing the transport of luggage;
Figure 5 is a partial perspective view showing a detail of embodiment.

Comme dans la demande principale, on voit que l'armature du porte-bagages est constituée par deux montants 1 réunis par deux traverses 2a et 2b. Sur chaque montant et vers son extrémité inférieure est articulée une potence 3. As in the main application, we see that the frame of the luggage carrier is constituted by two uprights 1 joined by two crosspieces 2a and 2b. A bracket 3 is hinged on each upright and towards its lower end.

Selon l'invention, les potences 3 sont réunies par, au moins, une paire de traverses 14 tubulaires, parallèles, constituant deux fourreaux dans chacun desquels peut coulisser la branche 15 correspondante d'une armature en forme de-V constituatun bras de support immobilisé dans les traverses 14 par des vis 16. According to the invention, the brackets 3 are joined by, at least, a pair of parallel tubular crosspieces 14, constituting two sleeves in each of which can slide the corresponding branch 15 of a V-shaped armature constituting an immobilized support arm in the crosspieces 14 by screws 16.

La distance séparant les-deux branches 15 est déterminée de façon à pouvoir engager entre elles une roue
R de bicyclette. Comme montré sur la figure 2, on voit que lorsqu'une bicyclette est posée sur ce porte-bagages, chaque roue est immobilisée entre deux butées s'opposant à son déplacement dans son plan à savoir celle constituée par l'extrémité 17 du bras coulissant et celle constituée par la potence 3. En toute rigueur, cette dernière butée est constituée par une petite ferrure 18, en forme de V réunissant les traverses 14 correspondantes ( figure 5).
The distance separating the two branches 15 is determined so as to be able to engage a wheel between them
R of bicycle. As shown in Figure 2, we see that when a bicycle is placed on this luggage rack, each wheel is immobilized between two stops opposing its movement in its plane namely that formed by the end 17 of the sliding arm and that constituted by the bracket 3. Strictly speaking, this last stop is constituted by a small fitting 18, in the form of a V joining the corresponding crosspieces 14 (FIG. 5).

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'extrémité du bras coulissant comporte une partie coudée 19; cette conformation offre les avantages suivants
a) lorsque la partie 19 est dirigée vers le bas, la roue R peut s'étendre de façon plus importante vers le bas. De ce fait, ltensemble de la bicyclette se trouve abaissé par rapport à la surface portante délimitée par les traverses 14 et il est alors possible de réduire la hauteur des montants d'où un gain en matière. Un gain en matière est aussi obtenu lors de la réalisation des bras en forme de V puisque ceux-ci peuvent être plus courts.
According to another characteristic of the invention, the end of the sliding arm comprises a bent part 19; this conformation offers the following advantages
a) when the part 19 is directed downward, the wheel R can extend more significantly downward. As a result, the entire bicycle is lowered relative to the bearing surface delimited by the crosspieces 14 and it is then possible to reduce the height of the uprights, thereby saving material. A gain in material is also obtained during the production of the V-shaped arms since these can be shorter.

En effet, en considérant la figure 2, on voit que si les bras 15 étaient rectilignes, ils devraient être beaucoup plus longs pour une même pénétration de la roue. Cette disposition augmente donc aussi la rigidité de l'ensemble.Indeed, considering Figure 2, we see that if the arms 15 were straight, they should be much longer for the same penetration of the wheel. This arrangement therefore also increases the rigidity of the assembly.

b) lorsque les parties coudées 19 s'étendent vers le haut, par retournement des bras en V , il est possible de transporter une bicyclette d'enfant tout en assurant une bonne immobilisation latérale par rapport au véhicule ( figure 3). b) when the bent parts 19 extend upwards, by inverting the V-shaped arms, it is possible to transport a child's bicycle while ensuring good lateral immobilization relative to the vehicle (FIG. 3).

Enfin et comme montré sur la figure 4, on voit que les parties l9 peuvent constituer aussi des bordures de contenance lors du transport de bagages B. Finally and as shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that the parts 19 can also constitute capacity borders when transporting baggage B.

Bien entendu, la présente invention ne se limite pas au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté mais s'étend, au contraire, à toutes variantes de formes et dimensions. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described and shown but extends, on the contrary, to all variants of shapes and dimensions.

C'est ainsi, entre autres, que la butée constituée par la ferrure 18 peut être prévue sur les bras 15.  Thus, among other things, the stop constituted by the fitting 18 can be provided on the arms 15.
