Abstract

The cycle carrier which is fixed to an road vehicle hatchback comprises an external rectangular frame (3) composed of four tubes. A fastening system comprises two straps (4) which are slid inside the vertical tubes and inserted through horizontal grooves located at the top and bottom of the hatchback and held inside the vehicle. The frame lower transverse tube slides inside the vertical tubes and is adjusted by lugs (5) inserted in holes. The frame has hooks (2) fixed to the upper part of the vertical tubes for holding the cycle.

Description

La présente invention concerne un porte-vélo destiné à être fixé au hayon d'un véhicule automobile par des sangles tendues verticalement à l'intérieur du hayon du véhicule. The present invention relates to a bicycle carrier intended to be fixed to the tailgate of a motor vehicle by straps stretched vertically inside the tailgate of the vehicle.

Ce type de porte-vélo est traditionnellement fixé à ]'aide de sangles comportant des petits crochets placés dans les rainures du hayon assurant le maintien d'une petite armature, composée de tubes, à l'carrière du véhicule. This type of bike carrier is traditionally fixed using] 'straps with small hooks placed in the grooves of the tailgate ensuring the maintenance of a small frame, composed of tubes, at the quarry of the vehicle.

Les inconvénients d'un tel système sont, d'une part un montage et un démontage après chaque utilisation, pour éviter le vol du porte-vélo et d'autre part, une fixation des cycles proche du véhicule n'excluant pas les risques de rayures lors de l'installation, et enfin une hauteur déterminée par ce système nécessitant souvent l'adjonction d'une nouvelle plaque de signalisation. The drawbacks of such a system are, on the one hand an assembly and disassembly after each use, to avoid the theft of the bicycle carrier and on the other hand, a fixing of the cycles close to the vehicle does not exclude the risks of scratches during installation, and finally a height determined by this system often requiring the addition of a new sign plate.

Le système selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique une armature extérieure composée de deux tubes courbes disposés verticalement, et, reliés à leurs extrémités par deux tubes transversaux; l'un situé au niveau de la rainure supérieure du hayon et l'autre, au niveau du pare-choc à la base du hayon. The system according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. According to a first characteristic, it in fact comprises an external frame made up of two curved tubes arranged vertically, and, connected at their ends by two transverse tubes; one located at the top of the tailgate groove and the other at the bumper at the base of the tailgate.

Deux sangles à cliquets sont insérées d'une part dans les tubes verticaux courbes de l'armature et d'autre part à travers les deux rainures horizontales du hayon. Two ratchet straps are inserted on the one hand in the curved vertical tubes of the frame and on the other hand through the two horizontal grooves of the tailgate.

Les sangles sont tendues chacune respectivement le long du hayon à l'intérieur duvéhicule.  The straps are each stretched along the tailgate respectively inside the vehicle.

Deux crochets formant une armature de soutien du cadre du cycle sont fixés à la partie supérieure des tubes courbes de l'armature. Two hooks forming a support frame for the cycle frame are fixed to the upper part of the curved tubes of the frame.

La disposition des sangles permet d'éviter le vol, et celle des crochets, de ne pas cacher les feux de signalisation. The arrangement of the straps makes it possible to avoid theft, and that of the hooks, not to hide the traffic lights.

Selon des modes Darticuliers de réalisation: - une sangle latérale peut-être rajoutée pour un meilleur maintien de l'armature.According to Darticuliers embodiments: - a side strap can be added for better support of the frame.

- La tablette arrière du véhicule peut-être percée ou relevée pour le passage des sangles au lieu d'être enlevée.- The rear shelf of the vehicle can be pierced or raised for the passage of the straps instead of being removed.

- un clip d'arrêt peut-être prévu pour que les sangles ne s'échappent pas des tubes de l'armature.- a stop clip may be provided so that the straps do not escape from the tubes of the frame.

- Un système de porte-ski ou de bagagère peut-être adapté.- A ski or luggage rack system can be adapted.

L'adaptation du porte-vélo sur le coffre d'un véhicule automobile n'est pas décrit car il présente les mêmes caractéristiques.The adaptation of the bicycle carrier on the trunk of a motor vehicle is not described because it has the same characteristics.

Dans tous les cas, la présente invention n'est pas limitée à la réalisation représentée, et, il est possible d'apporter a celle-ci de nombreux changements et modifications sans sortir du domaine de l'invention.  In any case, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown, and it is possible to make numerous changes and modifications thereto without departing from the scope of the invention.

Le dessin annexé illustre l'invention:
En référence à ce dessin, le porte-vélo comporte une armature (3) constituée de quatre tubes assemblés pour former un cadre rectangulaire posé sur le hayon (1). Les tubes verticaux sont galbés avec un rayon de courbure supérieur à celui du hayon (1) pour que le cycle ne touche pas la carrossene. The attached drawing illustrates the invention:
With reference to this drawing, the bicycle carrier comprises a frame (3) made up of four tubes assembled to form a rectangular frame placed on the tailgate (1). The vertical tubes are curved with a radius of curvature greater than that of the tailgate (1) so that the cycle does not touch the body.

Des sangles (4) sont insérées d'une part à l'intérieur des tubes verticaux courbes de ]'armature et d'autre part à travers les deux rainures horizontales du hayon pour ensuite être reliées et tendues le long du hayon (1) à l'intérieur du véhicule automobile. Straps (4) are inserted on the one hand inside the curved vertical tubes of the frame and on the other hand through the two horizontal grooves of the tailgate to then be connected and stretched along the tailgate (1) to the interior of the motor vehicle.

Deux crochets (2) fixés à la partie supérieure des tubes verticaux forment une armature de soutien du cadre du cycle. Two hooks (2) fixed to the upper part of the vertical tubes form a support frame for the cycle frame.

Le tube transversal inférieur de l'armature (3) coulisse à l'intérieur des tubes verticaux. Un système de réglage par ergots (5) permet de moduler la hauteur du porte-vélo afin qu'il s'adapte au hayon (1) de chaque véhicule.  The lower transverse tube of the frame (3) slides inside the vertical tubes. A lug adjustment system (5) allows the height of the bicycle carrier to be adjusted so that it adapts to the tailgate (1) of each vehicle.
