DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a locking system for a motorcycle, such as a bicycle, a motorbike, and a motorcycle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Bicycle parking and storage facilities include a bicycle free-standing parking port provided with a roof supported by columns in a parking space made of concrete, and a rear end of a rail member having an open end. There is proposed a parking space in which a front wheel support frame is erected, and a type in which a parking space is secured by using a two-tiered structure. As a two-tiered parking facility, the other end of the rail member whose entrance and exit is opened is fixed on the mounting table, and front wheel support frames are erected on both sides, and a plurality of rollers are placed in the rail member. An upper parking table having a lower parking space which is rotatably mounted, and an upper upper parking table in which one end is attached to a column, and a movable which is rotatably and slidably supported with respect to the upper parking storage member. There is a two-stage parking device composed of a rail member. At the upper upper parking table, the movable rail member is pulled out from the upper parking storage member to the side where it enters and exits, tilted and held, the bicycle is pushed up on the slope-shaped movable rail member, and the front and rear wheels of the bicycle are placed on the movable rail member The bicycle can be parked on the upper parking table by holding the handle at the end of the movable rail member while raising it and inserting it into the upper parking storage member.

[0003] With respect to the movable rail member of the two-stage parking apparatus, a retreat preventing mechanism is provided on the side where the movable rail member enters and exits. That is, a bottom hole for dropping the rear wheel of the bicycle is opened on the side where the movable rail member enters and exits, and one end of the catch bar projects from below at the bottom hole, and the other end of the catch bar has A rim abutment member is attached to the tip and is provided in the rail groove from above the outside of the movable rail member, and a center portion of the catch bar is swingably attached to both side surfaces of the movable rail member, and a retraction preventing mechanism is provided. It is. When the rear wheel of the bicycle is dropped into the bottom hole, the rear wheel is placed on one end of the catch bar and the catch bar is lowered, and the rim contact member at the other end is moved inward with this. It turns, and the rear wheel is clamped from both sides by the rim contact member. In order to release the retraction preventing mechanism, an operation is performed to slightly lift the rear wheel.

[0004] On the other hand, bicycles are relatively lightweight and can be parked with such a device, but motorized bicycles and motorcycles cannot be parked with such a parking device. is there. That is, the weight of the vehicle body is as large as 50 to 600 kg, and there is a problem that the vehicle body may be damaged or fuel may leak if it falls over in a motorbike or a motorcycle.

[0005] In view of the above, there has conventionally been considered a device provided with a grip catching portion for supporting a motorcycle by locking a handle grip at the tip of a motorcycle handle at the top of a standing pillar. More specifically, a pillar that is erected so that the inclination angle can be adjusted is provided on the top of the pillar with a catch ring having a substantially ring shape or the like that is bent so as to be able to be conveniently engaged with the handle grip of the motorcycle. An operation grip is provided so as to be rotatable with respect to the column (this corresponds to the original form in FIG. 13). In addition to the gripping portion having a substantially annular shape, the grip capturing portion may have a shape capable of holding the handle grip.

Basically, while holding the operating grip on the grip catching portion with the left hand and supporting the motorcycle with the right hand, the handle grip at the tip of the left motorcycle handle is engaged with the catch ring, and the motorcycle is held on the support. Parking. More specifically, in order to align the catch ring with the handle grip, the operating grip is operated to adjust the inclination angle of the support or to adjust the rotation of the catch ring. As a result, the handle grip can be captured in an unnatural state, and can be held without standing the motorcycle. Generally, in a motorcycle, when the steering wheel is bent to the left, a key lock can be performed at a front wheel portion. Conversely, when taking out the two-wheeled vehicle from this parking state, the operation reverse to that during parking is performed.

[0007]

However, in the above-described parking ports and parking spaces, the only way to prevent the bicycle from being stolen is to rely on a lock attached to the front wheel of the bicycle. Similarly, in the above-described two-stage parking device, the rear wheel of the bicycle is caught by the retraction preventing mechanism, but this can be easily released by slightly lifting the rear wheel of the bicycle, The anti-backup mechanism does not substantially function as a lock. Therefore, to prevent theft of bicycles,
At present, the only option is to rely on a lock attached to the front wheel of a bicycle. However, it is well known that the lock provided with the bicycle can be unexpectedly easily broken. In the case of this parking facility, in the upper upper parking table, the movable rail member is pulled out from the upper parking storage member and is tilted and held, and the bicycle can be freely pulled down on the slope-shaped movable rail member. From the viewpoint of theft prevention, it may be considered that the vehicle is completely defenseless like the lower parking space, the parking port and the parking space described above.

In the case of a motor-driven bicycle or a motorcycle, the motorcycle is supported only by the front wheel portion by the support and does not fall over, and the parking operation can be performed simply by hooking the handle grip on the catch ring. There is no need for it, and many motorcycles can be parked in a limited space in an orderly manner, and the installation cost is low. However, since the parking and unloading operations merely cause the handle grip to be caught or removed by the catch ring, this can be performed by anyone other than the owner of the bicycle, that is, there is a risk of theft.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem and to provide a locking system for a motorcycle, such as a bicycle, a motorbike, and a motorcycle.

[0010]
