Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bicycle parking device, and more particularly to a bicycle parking device capable of parking as many vehicles as possible in a predetermined space.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a city, it is difficult to obtain a large bicycle parking space, and it is of great interest how to effectively use a narrow bicycle parking space. As an effective use of the bicycle parking space, there is a three-dimensional use of the bicycle parking space. In this method, the bicycle parking space itself has multiple floors,
There is a method in which the bicycle holding device is a multi-stage type such as a two-story type. However, the former requires a multi-story building and is costly to build, and the economic value of using land effectively is not readily appreciated. In addition, a multi-stage (mainly two-stage) bicycle parking device can theoretically use the bicycle parking space twice as effectively, but actually considering the workability, etc., it is difficult to simply arrange bicycles. Only 1.3 to 1.5 times the number of bicycles can be parked, so that a two-stage bicycle parking device is considered to be too expensive.

[0003] In addition, there are some bicycles in which a large number of bicycles are parked by alternately shifting the positions of the front wheels and the handles of the parked bicycles so that the parallel parking space of the parallel air-bell bicycles is reduced as much as possible. Recently, this type of bicycle parking device has become mainstream because the device is simple and effective.

However, in the bicycle parking device of the type in which the positions of the front wheels and the steering wheel of the bicycle are alternately shifted, the bicycle parking interval is narrowed, but if the bicycle parking interval is reduced too much,
It is very complicated to put bicycles in and out of the bicycle parking space, and at present, the bicycle parking interval is set to such an extent that the workability does not deteriorate extremely, so that even if the number of bicycles is reduced, the user can use it easily. No.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and therefore, it is possible to reduce the interval between bicycles, and to improve the workability of moving a bicycle into and out of a bicycle parking space even with a narrow interval between bicycles. It is an object to provide a good bicycle parking device.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a plurality of front wheel bearing frames 10 are juxtaposed in parallel, and the front wheel bearing frames 10 are axially supported by front and rear shafts 11. A front wheel bearing rail 12 is provided, and a rear wheel bearing rail 22 is attached to each front wheel bearing frame 10 by supporting the vicinity of its front end to a suitably fixed portion with a vertical shaft 21. When the rear wheel bearing rails 22 and the front wheel bearing rails 12 are located in a straight line when viewed from above, the front wheel bearing rails 12 stand upright, and the rear end of the rear wheel bearing rails 22. When the side is rotated left and right with the longitudinal axis 21 as the central axis, the front wheel support rail 12 is inclined about the axis 11 in the front-rear direction as the central axis so as to fall to the same side as the rotational direction of the rear wheel support rail 22. Connected by the interlocking mechanism 30 It is those that have taken the operative means.

Therefore, the bicycle parking device according to the present invention, as shown in FIG.
Assuming that all the bicycles are mounted on the rear wheel support rail 2 and the rear wheel bearing rail 22, the third row of bicycles is taken out from FIG. In this case, the third row from the above is left as it is, and the other rows are rotated so as to keep the rear end of the rear wheel support rail 22 away from the rear row as shown by broken lines in the figure. That is, in the second row from the top of the figure, the rear end of the rear wheel bearing rail 22 is viewed from the rear ("FIG. 3" from the right side to the left side).
Rotate to the right (i.e., rotate left about the vertical axis 21 as the central axis). Then, the bicycles in the first and second rows from the top of the figure are inclined (the front wheel supporting rails 12 and the upper part of the supported bicycles) so that the front wheel supporting rails 12 and the front wheels or the handles fall down to the right (as viewed from the rear). Is tilted so as to fall upward in FIG. 3). The fourth to sixth rows from the top of the figure are rotated to the left as viewed from the rear. Then, the bicycle tilts so that the front wheel support rail 12 and the front wheels or the handles fall to the left. Accordingly, the third row from the top of the figure has an effect of securing a gap for the user to enter and to hold the bicycle.

[0008] Further, since the front wheels of the bicycles adjacent to each other are inclined so that the upper sides thereof open outward, the above-mentioned structure has an effect of securing a wide gap at the handle portion.

Next, a second aspect of the present invention is to arrange a plurality of front wheel bearing frames 10a and 10b in parallel with each other so as to be positioned alternately in height and alternately in front and rear and in parallel.
b denotes a front wheel support rail 1 supported by a shaft 11 in the front-rear direction.

For each rear wheel, a rear wheel support rail 22 is mounted by supporting the vicinity of the front end of the rear wheel support rail at an appropriately fixed portion with a vertical shaft 21. The rear wheel support rail 22 and the front wheel support rail 12 are connected to the rear wheel support rail 22. When the front wheel bearing rail 12 and the front wheel bearing rail 12 are located in a straight line when viewed from a plane, the front wheel bearing rail 12 stands upright, and the rear end side of the rear wheel bearing rail 22 is turned in the left-right direction about the longitudinal axis 21 as a central axis. When it moves, a technical means is adopted in which the front wheel bearing rail 12 is connected by an interlocking mechanism 30 which is inclined so that the front wheel bearing rail 12 falls on the same side as the rotation direction of the rear wheel bearing rail 22 around the shaft 11 in the front-rear direction. It is a thing.

Therefore, in the bicycle parking device of the present invention, the front wheels of the bicycle are alternately set to a high and low position, and the positions are alternately shifted back and forth. Bicycles can be parked side by side, and
Since the function of claim 1 is also exhibited, the workability of parking a bicycle, which is when a bicycle is put in and taken out of a bicycle parking area, is easily exhibited.

Next, in a third aspect of the present invention, a plurality of front wheel support frames 10a and 10b are juxtaposed in parallel at alternately high and low positions and alternately in front and rear.
0b is provided with a front wheel support rail 12 which is supported by a shaft 11 in the front-rear direction.
For each rear wheel support rail 22, an arm 13 is provided on the lower surface of the front wheel support rail 12 so as to protrude from the front end near the front end of the rear wheel support rail 12. A forward insertion portion 14 of the arm 13 is provided at a position forward of the vertical shaft 21 of the front wheel support rail 12. When the rear wheel support rail 22 and the front wheel support rail 12 are located in a straight line when viewed from above, the front wheel support rail 12 Is upright, and the rear end of the rear wheel support rail 22 is rotated left and right about the longitudinal axis 21 as a center axis.
A technical means is adopted in which the inclination is made so as to fall on the same side as the rotation direction of the rear wheel bearing rail 22 with the center axis as the center axis.

Therefore, the bicycle parking device according to the present invention exhibits the function of the above-mentioned "claim 2", and the front wheel supporting rail 12 is provided with the simple structure of the arm 13 and the play insertion portion 14 as in the initial purpose. It exhibits a tilting action. That is, the arm 14a shown in FIG. 2 is integrally attached to the rear wheel support rail 22, and the arm 14a and the rear wheel support rail 22 are pivoted by the vertical shaft 21 inserted through the through hole 14b. In this case, when the rear wheel support rail 22 is rotated in the direction of arrow P1, the front wheel support rail 12 has the effect of rotating in the direction of arrow P2 about the shaft 11 in the front-rear direction.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a front wheel support frame. In the illustrated example, the front wheel supporting frame 10 is configured such that a plurality of the front wheels are alternately arranged in a descending order of height, and a plurality of the front wheels are juxtaposed in parallel while being alternately shifted back and forth. Instead, it is the same as a bicycle parking device that narrows the bicycle parking interval.

That is, a pair of horizontal rails 51, 52
Are fixed in parallel to each other, and the front wheel supporting frame 1 located on the left side of the rear “FIG.
Are fixed at predetermined intervals in the forward and rearward directions, and columns 15, 15 are provided from intermediate portions of the front wheel supporting frames 10 b, 10 b adjacent to the front horizontal rail 51. , 15..., And a front wheel supporting frame 10 a positioned forward at a high level is fixed on each of the columns 15.

The front wheel support frames 10, 10a, 1
0b is a predetermined interval between the standing wall portions 16, 16 and the compatible wall portion 1
Although it is constituted by the bottom plate 17 which communicates 6 and 16, it may be constituted in a box shape opening upward unlike the example shown in the figure.

The front wheel support frames 10, 10a,
10b is provided with a front wheel support rail 12 which is supported by a shaft 11 in the front-rear direction. As shown most clearly in FIG. 2, the front wheel support rail 12 has a gutter-like shape (substantially U-shaped in cross-section and a flange portion outwardly provided at an upper end thereof) for supporting a bicycle wheel thereon. )) Is the same as the conventional one. In order to support the front wheel support rail 12 with the shaft 11 in the front-rear direction, in the illustrated example, end plates 18 are attached to both ends of the front wheel support rail 12. May be connected by the shaft 11 in the left-right direction in the front-rear direction (FIG. 1),
Of course, in the illustrated example, the end plate 18 and the shaft 11 in the front-back direction are provided on both front and rear sides of the front wheel support rail 12.

The front wheel support rails 12 are configured such that the front wheels of the bicycle are just fitted and the bicycle is substantially upright on the front wheel support rails 12, but currently the tires of the bicycle are thick and thin. The front wheel support rail 12 may have a wide upper portion and a narrow lower portion to hold both narrow tires upright, as shown in FIG. In the figure, the width of the low-stage front wheel support rail 12 is changed in the middle. Although not shown, it is a matter of course that a support that protrudes upward from both sides of the front wheel support rail 12 and supports the upper part of the front wheel of the bicycle may be separately provided.

The front wheel support rail 12 is usually provided with a device for preventing the bicycle from slipping down. In the illustrated embodiment, a bar 19 crossing the front wheel support rail 12 is provided. , And the bicycle is prevented from slipping rearward under its own weight even if the bicycle is held with the front wheel side raised.

A rear wheel support rail 22 is attached to each front wheel support frame 10 by supporting the vicinity of the front end of the rear wheel support rail 22 at an appropriately fixed portion with a vertical shaft 21. The rear wheel support rail 22 may have a cross section similar to that of the front wheel support rail 12. And this rear wheel bearing rail 22
In general, the front end side is disposed so as to be close to the rear end of the front wheel support rail 12 at a high position, and the rear end is inclined so as to be close to the floor surface F. In this embodiment, a connecting arm 23 is protruded from the rear ends of the front wheel supporting frames 1010a and 10b, and the connecting arm 23 and the front end of the front wheel supporting rail 12 are pivotally connected by a vertical shaft 21. I have.

Accordingly, the rear wheel support rail 22 has its rear end side (see FIG. 3) with the longitudinal axis 21 as the center of rotation.
(The right end side) can be rotated in the left-right direction (the vertical direction in FIG. 3). Therefore, in this embodiment, the rear wheel support rail 2
Rollers 24 rolling on the floor F are provided on the lower surface of the rear end of the rear wheel support rail 22 in order to smoothly rotate the wheel 2.

The present invention relates to the rear wheel support rail 2 described above.
2 and the front wheel support rails 12 and the rear wheel support rails 2.
When the front wheel bearing rail 12 and the front wheel bearing rail 12 are located in a straight line when viewed from a plane, the front wheel bearing rail 12 stands upright, and the rear end side of the rear wheel bearing rail 22 is moved in the left-right direction with the longitudinal axis 21 as the center axis. When rotated, the front wheel support rails 12 are connected by an interlocking mechanism 30 that inclines so as to fall to the same side as the rotation direction of the rear wheel support rails 22. That is, when the rear end side of the rear wheel support rail 22 is rotated to the right, the front wheel support rail 1
Numeral 2 is inclined so that the upper end thereof is tilted to the right, and the front wheel or handle of the bicycle mounted on the front wheel support rail 12 is also tilted to be tilted to the right.

One example of the interlocking mechanism 30 has an arm 13 projecting from the lower surface of the front wheel support rail 12 as shown most clearly in FIG. A play insertion portion 14 of the arm 13 is provided at a site. The play insertion portion 14 has a fork-shaped fork at the tip of an arm 14 a protruding from the tip end of the rear wheel support rail 22, and this fork forms the play insertion portion 14. is there. The interlocking mechanism 30 is not limited to the illustrated example.
It is a matter of course that an interlocking mechanism such as various links, gears, and levers may be used.

Next, according to the invention of claim 2, a plurality of front wheel support frames 10a, 10b are arranged in parallel in parallel at alternately high and low positions and alternately in front and rear.
0b is provided with a front wheel bearing rail 12 that is supported by a shaft 11 in the front-rear direction. That is, when the bicycles are aligned, the widest handles collide with each other, so that the parallel gap cannot be smaller than the width of the handles. However, if the position of the steering wheel is shifted up and down or back and forth, the juxtaposed gap of the bicycle can be reduced. For this purpose, the front wheel supporting frames 10a and 10b on which the front wheels of the bicycle are mounted are alternately positioned high and low and back and forth. Such a technique is already known in the art.

The front wheel support frames 10a, 10a
For each b, a rear wheel support rail 22 is mounted by supporting the vicinity of the front end of the rear wheel support rail at an appropriately fixed portion with a vertical shaft 21, and the rear wheel support rail 22 and the front wheel support rail 12 are connected to the rear wheel support rail 22. When the front wheel bearing rail 12 and the front wheel bearing rail 12 are located in a straight line when viewed from a plane, the front wheel bearing rail 12 stands upright, and the rear end side of the rear wheel bearing rail 22 is turned in the left-right direction about the longitudinal axis 21 as a central axis. The front wheel supporting rail 12 is connected by an interlocking mechanism 30 which is inclined so that the front wheel supporting rail 12 falls on the same side as the rotation direction of the rear wheel supporting rail 22 when the shaft 11 in the front-rear direction is used as a center axis. 1 ".

Therefore, according to the present invention, the positions of the handlebars and the petals of the bicycles to be arranged are alternately shifted, so that it is possible to reduce the juxtaposition interval to about 220 mm for a general bicycle. However, when the juxtaposition distance is narrowed in this way, only a gap of about 20 cm can be secured between the bicycles, and it is almost impossible for a person to get in between the bicycles and get the handle of the bicycle. It is impossible, and bicycle parking operation becomes impossible. However, in the present invention,
The other parked bicycle can be moved by rotating the rear wheel support rail 22, so that a gap for a person to enter can be widened.

In addition, as described above, even if the rear part of the side-by-side bicycle is moved to secure a gap for a person to enter the side of the target bicycle, if the handle is caught by the handle of another bicycle, This bicycle cannot be parked easily and cannot be easily removed from a bicycle parking lot.
However, in the present invention, the front wheels or the handles of the bicycles on both sides are tilted outward, so that the bicycle can be parked without the handles or the like being caught.

Next, according to the invention of claim 3, a plurality of front wheel support frames 10a and 10b are juxtaposed in parallel at alternately high and low positions and alternately in front and rear.
The front wheel support rails 12 supported by a front-rear direction shaft 11 are provided on each of the front wheel support rails 10b.
It is the same as in "Claim 2" that the rear wheel bearing rail 22 is attached to the vicinity of the front end of the rear wheel bearing rail 22 by a vertical shaft 21 as needed.

The present invention relates to the front wheel support rail 1.
An arm 13 protrudes from the lower surface of the rear wheel support rail 2 and a rear wheel support rail 22.
A forward insertion portion 14 of the arm 13 is provided at a position forward of the vertical shaft 21 of the front wheel support rail 12. When the rear wheel support rail 22 and the front wheel support rail 12 are located in a straight line when viewed from above, the front wheel support rail 12 When the rear end of the rear wheel support rail 22 is turned right and left around the vertical axis 21 as a center axis, the front wheel support rail 12 is pivoted about the longitudinal axis 11 as a center axis. In the same direction as the turning direction. That is, in the present invention, the rotation of the rear wheel support rail 22 and the rotation of the front wheel support rail 12 are linked with a simple configuration, as described in the above embodiment.

It should be noted that the bicycle parking device of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example described above, and it is a matter of course that various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
