2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, bicycles have been efficiently parked as a measure against the problem of abandoned bicycles in public places such as sidewalks and squares in front of train stations and shopping malls, and the problem of securing a space for parking bicycles in condominiums, apartments, etc. Various types of bicycle parking devices that can be wheeled have been developed.

As such a bicycle parking device, an upper and lower two-stage type bicycle parking device is often used, but such a two-stage upper and lower type bicycle parking device has a low ceiling in order to vertically park a bicycle. It is not possible to use it at bicycle parking facilities, so the installation location will be limited, and it will take considerable power to park the bicycle above the upper and lower two-stage bicycle parking equipment, so use it People refrain from parking bicycles on the upper stage of the two-tiered bicycle parking equipment, and the two-tiered bicycle parking equipment has a complicated structure, resulting in high manufacturing costs. There were various problems.

Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 11-22229 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-20
As disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 550, there is provided a bicycle parking apparatus that allows a plurality of bicycle mounting frames to move on rails installed in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the bicycle mounting frames. It has been developed. With such a bicycle parking device, since the bicycle mounting frame does not exist in the upper stage, it is easy for the user to handle, the installation place is not limited, and the structure is simple. Because it is possible, the manufacturing cost is relatively low.

When a bicycle is parked on such a bicycle parking apparatus, first, a plurality of bicycle mounting frames which move on rails installed transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bicycle mounting frame. Among these, by pushing the adjacent bicycle mounting frame on the left and / or right of the bicycle mounting frame which is desired to be parked with a hand or the like to move the bicycle mounting frame laterally with respect to the longitudinal direction of the bicycle mounting frame. After securing the space required for introducing the bicycle to the left and / or right of the bicycle mounting frame for which the bicycle is desired to be parked, the bicycle introduction side is located on the bicycle introduction path in the bicycle mounting frame where the bicycle is desired to be parked. You can introduce a bicycle from.

However, such a bicycle parking device has a structure in which wheels for moving the bicycle mounting frame in the longitudinal direction of the rail are rotatably attached to the bicycle mounting frame. Since the bicycle frame can be moved laterally easily, when the user tries to install the bicycle on the bicycle introduction path in the bicycle frame where the user desires to park the bicycle, the bicycle frame will be unintentionally It may be difficult to install the bicycle due to the phenomenon of lateral movement, or the handle of the bicycle to be installed may come into contact with the handle of the bicycle parked on the adjacent bicycle mounting frame or the car. Then, the bicycle cannot be installed in the direction opposite to the bicycle installation side of the bicycle mounting frame, or the user wants to park the bicycle. Rolling vehicle 置用 frame had various drawbacks such as the user or accidentally injured in a fall surplus momentum by thus greatly moved laterally.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, allows a bicycle to be easily put in and taken out, and is convenient for the user. An object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle parking device that can be moved laterally with respect to the longitudinal direction of a vehicle frame.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of earnest research to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor has decided to mount a bicycle on a bicycle installation path in a bicycle installation frame in which a bicycle is desired to be parked. The phenomenon in which the frame moves laterally occurs when the user stands on the side of the bicycle, holds the bicycle handle with both hands, and places the bicycle on the bicycle introduction path on the bicycle introduction side of the bicycle mounting frame. Since it is necessary to push in the bicycle after placing the front wheels, it is necessary to apply force to the bicycle in the direction opposite to the side where the user is standing. When the user pushes the stopper operating member downward by the user or the wheel of the bicycle, the front end of the stopper member provided in front of the stopper operating member comes into contact with the rail and rotates. The present invention has been made clear that it is possible to prevent a phenomenon in which the bicycle mounting frame moves laterally against the user's will by employing a mechanism for maintaining the stationary state of the mounting frame. Was completed.

Alternatively, a bicycle mounting frame installed in a direction oblique to the longitudinal direction of the rail, and a wheel for supporting the bicycle mounting frame and moving the bicycle mounting frame in the longitudinal direction of the rail. Is rotatably pivotally supported, and the position of the trolley part closest to the bicycle introduction side of the bicycle mounting frame or the trolley part closest to the bicycle introduction side of the bicycle mounting frame. A stopper connecting member that is fixed to the bicycle mounting frame on the bicycle loading side, and is used near the bicycle mounting side end of the bicycle mounting frame that is supported by the stopper connecting member. A stopper operation member having a portion which is pressed downward by the wheels of a bicycle to be foot or introduction of,
A stopper member which is provided in front of the stopper operating member and whose front end portion abuts against the rail when the downwardly pressing portion of the stopper operating member is pressed downward. Is a bicycle parking device.

Also, if the bicycle mounting frame is fixed to the upper surface of the pillar protruding from the upper surface of the carriage, the bicycle can be efficiently parked, and the stopper connecting member is attached to the carriage through the pillar. If it is fixed, the stopper operating member can be supported at a position where it can be easily operated, and the portion pressed downward of the stopper operating member is for mounting the bicycle from the end of the bicycle mounting frame on the bicycle introduction side. It is located at a position projecting in the longitudinal direction of the frame, it is projecting to the side of the bicycle mounting frame from just below the end of the bicycle mounting frame on the bicycle introduction side, or it is connected to a stopper connecting member. It has also been clarified that the mode may be such that it is an end portion that protrudes laterally of the bicycle mounting frame immediately from the portion.

Further, if an auxiliary supporting member for supporting the stopper operating member by the force of the spring is provided on the bottom surface of the bicycle mounting frame, not only the durability of the stopper operating member and the stopper connecting member is increased but also the stopper operating member. The operability can be ensured, and a pressing portion projecting on the bicycle introduction path on the bicycle introduction side in the bicycle mounting frame is provided at the upper end, and it can be projected upward from the stopper operation member. When the stopper pressing shaft control means, which is inserted through the stopper pressing shaft, holds the stopper pressing shaft downward when the pressing portion is first pressed, and when the pressing portion is pressed next time. If a mechanism for releasing the state where the stopper pressing shaft is moved downward is provided, the user can directly press the stopper operating member downward. Even if the bicycle is not used, the bicycle can be automatically held in the stopped state by simply introducing the bicycle onto the bicycle introduction path in the bicycle mounting frame, and the bicycle can be introduced into the bicycle mounting frame. After doing so, it was also found that it is preferable that the state in which the bicycle mounting frame is stopped is automatically released.

Further, a portion of the stopper operating member which is pressed downward is provided on the rear portion of the stopper operating member, is located on the bicycle introducing path on the bicycle introducing side in the bicycle mounting frame, and is pressed by the bicycle wheel. If it is a wheel contact part for urging, from the time when the front wheel of the bicycle is placed on the bicycle introduction side in the bicycle mounting frame until the user shifts to the operation of pressing the stopper operating member downward. It was also found that it is preferable that the bicycle mounting frame can be prevented from moving laterally.

Further, the stopper connecting member is for the bicycle mounting side closer to the bicycle introduction side of the bicycle mounting frame or the carriage portion closest to the bicycle mounting side of the bicycle mounting frame for the bicycle mounting side. If a fixture fixed to the frame is rotatably supported in the vertical direction and provided with a spring that gives a force to separate the stopper member from the rail, or if the stopper connecting member is formed of spring steel. It was also found that it is preferable because not only the durability of the stopper connecting member is increased but also the operability of the stopper operating member can be ensured.

At this time, the tooth tip 9ea of the rotor 9e is separated from the locking step 9j in the stopper pressing shaft control means 9 and becomes rotatable, and then the projection 9eb of the rotor 9e is stopped by the stopper pressing shaft control means 9. Abut on the lower part of the internal groove 9h,
When the tooth tip 9fa of the stator 9f moving from the upper side later engages with the tooth tip 9ea of the rotor 9e, the rotor 9e rotates slightly by the amount of the tooth tips 9ea and 9fa being displaced.

After that, when the bicycle 10 is further introduced in the direction opposite to the bicycle introduction road side of the bicycle mounting frame 3,
Since the rear wheel of the bicycle 10 riding on the pressing portion 9b crosses the pressing portion 9b, the pressing force on the pressing portion 9b due to the weight of the bicycle 10 disappears, and the spring 9c in the stopper pressing shaft control means 9 presses the stopper. Flange provided on shaft 9a
The stopper pressing shaft 9a is lifted via 9d, but the rotor 9e
Is slightly rotated, the tip 9ea of the rotor 9e comes into contact with the introduction step 9k, and as the rotor 9e moves upward, the rotor 9e is projected by the introduction step 9k. Rotating until the position of 9eb overlaps with the position of the vertical groove 9g, both the rotor 9e and the stator 9f move to the groove 9g in the stopper pressing shaft control means 9, and the stopper pressing shaft 9a returns to the initial state. Since the state of moving downward is released, the front end of the stopper member 7 provided in front of the stopper operating member 6 is released from the rail 2 and the state in which the bicycle mounting frame 3 is stopped is released, and the bicycle mounting frame 3 is released. The operation of introducing the bicycle 10 into the mounting frame 3 is completed. Further, the operation of pulling out the bicycle 10 already mounted on the bicycle mounting frame 3 from the bicycle introduction path 3a may be performed by the reverse operation to the above-mentioned operation.
