Description

  The present invention is a bicycle stand for both legs, the upper end of which is pivotally supported on a mounting bracket by a support shaft, the both foot stands extending downward from the support shaft, and a side from the lower side of the main leg portion. The present invention relates to a bicycle stand comprising a wide portion extending in the direction and a connection portion connecting the wide portions.

In a bicycle, as shown in FIG. 5, there are cases where a heavy object is loaded on a loading platform above the rear wheel or a cargo bag above the front wheel (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below). In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, there is one in which an infant is placed by utilizing a cargo box above the front wheel. In these bicycles, a stand is erected while a heavy load is loaded on the loading platform or cargo bar, and the bicycle is stopped and parked. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the strength of the stand, and therefore, a stand having a reinforcing frame as shown in the photograph of FIG. 7 has been proposed (see Patent Document 2 below).
JP 2004-34921 A (see FIG. 3) Design Registration No. 1062559 (see perspective view)

  In these conventional examples, in the one disclosed in Patent Document 1 of FIG. 5 above, since the seat portion 21 on which the infant is placed is located above the rear wheel 20, the stand 22 is in the up-down direction in the standing state. It suffices to have a certain level of strength. For this purpose, as shown in the photographic diagram of FIG. 7 which is the above-mentioned Patent Document 2, a frame in which a reinforcing frame is provided from the main leg portion to the connecting portion of the stand of both feet has been proposed. However, when a heavy article is loaded on the cargo 24 above the front wheel 23, or when an infant ride 34 is installed above the front wheel 33 as shown in FIG. When there is a turning state, that is, when the stand is raised and stopped and parked with the handle turned off, the torsional force acts on the stand as the front wheels move forward, as shown in FIG. A simple reinforcement frame is not sufficient for the torsional force, and there is a risk that the bicycle may fall over, the luggage may be broken, or the infant may be injured. In addition, the conventional stand is configured to have a high jumping position, and in order to stand the stand up, one foot is raised and the foot is placed on the stand in an unstable state where an infant or heavy object is loaded on an infant or a load. There was a danger. In addition, the length of the stand is long, and the amount of lifting of the rear part of the bicycle when standing is apt to be large, and the standing effort is large and further dangerous.

  Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional stand, keeps the jumping position low, shortens the foot length, increases the torsional rigidity, and ensures safety and stability during and after the standing operation. An object is to provide a bicycle stand that can be used.

  For this reason, the present invention is a bicycle stand for both legs, the upper end of which is pivotally supported on a mounting bracket by a support shaft, wherein the both foot stands extend downward from the support shaft, and the bottom of the main leg portion. A bicycle stand composed of a wide portion extending laterally from the connecting portion and connecting portions connecting the wide portions, a main reinforcing frame extending between the main leg portion and the connecting portion; An auxiliary reinforcing frame body provided between the connection portion and the wide portion is provided. Further, the present invention is characterized in that the main reinforcing frame and the auxiliary reinforcing frame are integrally formed. Further, the present invention is characterized in that the grounding portions at both ends of the connection portion constitute a surface grounding portion extending in the front-rear direction in a side view. Further, the present invention is characterized in that a central portion side between the surface contact portions is curved upward and in the front-rear direction. In the present invention, the upper end of the main reinforcing frame is joined to the main leg at a sufficient distance. Further, the present invention is characterized in that the occupied area of the wide portion with respect to the main leg portion in a front view is relatively small. The present invention is characterized in that the raising position of the stand is low, and these are used as means for solving the problems.

  According to the present invention, a bicycle stand for both legs whose upper end is pivotally supported on a mounting bracket by a support shaft, the both foot stands extending downward from the support shaft, and a lower portion of the main leg portion. A bicycle stand composed of a wide portion extending laterally from the connecting portion and connecting portions connecting the wide portions, a main reinforcing frame extending between the main leg portion and the connecting portion; By providing the auxiliary reinforcing frame extending between the connecting portion and the wide portion, it is possible to stably stand up and stop the bicycle by the wide connecting portion following the wide portion, and the main reinforcing frame. In addition to the high reinforcement effect due to the handing over, the wide part is reinforced with the sub-reinforcement frame, so in addition to improving the lateral rigidity, the torsional rigidity is high, and even when turning the front wheel and parking Thus, the standing state of the stand is maintained.

  Further, when the main reinforcement frame and the sub-reinforcement frame are integrated, the positioning of each reinforcement frame relative to each part of the stand is easy, and it is possible to reduce the number of joints such as welding. Simplified. Furthermore, when the grounding portions at both ends of the connection portion constitute a surface grounding portion extending in the front-rear direction in a side view, the plane area of the grounding portion can be increased, and the standing state of the stand can be stabilized and safe. The bent part in the front-rear direction constitutes a footrest part, and the operation at the time of standing becomes easy.

  Furthermore, when the central portion between the surface contact portions is curved upward and in the front-rear direction, the chance of supporting the contact portions at three points is increased regardless of road surface unevenness during parking. Can stand up. In addition, when the connecting portion is formed rearward and the center side is curved upward and forward, the stand foot length can be increased as much as possible without interfering with the tire circumferential surface when the stand is raised. Since it can be shortened, the torsional rigidity of the stand itself can be improved, and the lifting amount of the rear part of the bicycle can be reduced, and the standing operation is light and safe. Further, when the upper end of the main reinforcing frame is joined to the main leg at a sufficient distance, high rigidity of the main leg can be secured over a sufficient length.

  Further, when the occupied area of the wide part with respect to the main leg part is relatively small, the torsion-resistant stiffening effect of the wide part by the main reinforcing frame body and the auxiliary reinforcing frame body is led to the maximum. Thus, it is possible to stably stand and hold the grounding portion in the connecting portion formed wide. Furthermore, when the stand jumping position is low, the stand standing operation in an unstable state can be performed safely without raising the foot, and the length of the stand can be shortened as much as possible. Therefore, the lifting amount of the rear part of the bicycle is small, and the standing operation is light and safe.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show one embodiment of a bicycle stand according to the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a front view of the stand. 2 is a perspective view of the stand, and FIG. 3 is a side view of the stand. FIG. 4 is a side view showing a jumping state of the bicycle stand according to the present invention, in a state where the jumping position is low. As shown in FIG. 1, the basic structure of the bicycle stand according to the present invention is a two-foot bicycle stand whose upper end is pivotally supported by a support bracket 9 on a mounting bracket. The main legs 1A and 1A extending downward from the support shafts 9 and 9, the wide portions 1B and 1B extending laterally from below the main legs 1A and 1A, and the wide portions 1B and 1B are connected. In the bicycle stand constituted by the connecting portion 1C, the main reinforcing frame 2A, 3A provided between the main leg portion 1A and the connecting portion 1C, and the connecting portion 1C and the wide portions 1B, 1B The sub-reinforcing frame bodies 2B and 3B provided between them are provided.

  As clearly shown in the perspective view of FIG. 2, elongated holes for inserting the rear wheel shafts are provided at upper ends of the left and right stand mounting brackets 4 and 5. On the stand support shafts 9 and 9 at the lower end portions of the mounting brackets 4 and 5, the upper end portions of both foot stands 1 are pivotally supported so as to be swingable between the standing and jumping positions. Springs 7, 8 are stretched between the upper mounting brackets 4, 5 and the lower stand 1 across the support shafts 9, 9. The stand 1 is held in the standing position or the raising position by passing over the dead center with the support shafts 9 and 9 of the springs 7 and 8 as a boundary. A spring 7 disposed on the left side of the vehicle body is stretched as a lock spring between the left mounting bracket 4 and a lower portion of a lock plate 6 whose upper end is pivotally supported by the main leg 1A of the stand 1. The The lock spring 7 is held at the lock position and the release position of the lock plate 6 when the dead center is exceeded with the shaft fulcrum of the lock plate 6 as a boundary.

  The stand 1 includes main leg portions 1A and 1A extending downward from the support shafts 9 and 9 at the upper end, wide portions 1B and 1B extending laterally from below the main leg portions 1A and 1A, and wide portions 1B. 1C and 1B which connects between 1B. In the example of FIG. 2, the connecting portion 1 </ b> C constitutes surface contact portions 1 </ b> D and 1 </ b> D extending in the front-rear direction (backward as shown in FIG. 3 in the illustrated example) in a side view (the present invention is a side view In other words, the stand 1 is formed in a substantially flat plate shape in a side view without forming the surface contact portion 1D extending in the front-rear direction). By constructing the surface grounding portion 1D, the plane area of the grounding portion can be increased, and the standing state of the stand is stabilized and safe, and the bent portion in the front-rear direction constitutes a footrest portion. Operation becomes easy. On the upper surface of the surface contact portion 1D, a non-slip 10 having a large number of irregularities is formed.

  Between the main leg portions 1A, 1A and the connection portion 1C at the upper end portion of the stand 1, main reinforcing frame bodies 2A, 3A are provided almost vertically, and the connection portion 1C and the left and right wide portions 1B, 1B. Sub reinforcing frame bodies 2B and 3B are provided between the two. The main reinforcement frame 2A and the sub-reinforcement frame 2B, and the main reinforcement frame 3A and the sub-reinforcement frame 3B are integrally configured, but may be configured by separate members. When the main reinforcement frame and the sub-reinforcement frame are integrated, each reinforcement frame can be easily positioned with respect to each part of the stand, and there are few joints such as welding, and the joining work such as welding is simplified. The If the substantially central portion of the connecting portion 1C is curved upward (shown clearly in FIG. 1), the chance of supporting the grounding portion at three points is increased regardless of the road surface unevenness, and a stable stand can be erected. It becomes possible.

  Moreover, as clearly shown in FIG. 3, the surface grounding portion 1D is formed rearward, and the central portion between the surface grounding portions 1D is curved upward and forward to form a curved portion 1E. As shown in FIG. 4 to be described later, the stand foot length can be shortened as much as possible without interfering with the peripheral surface of the tire T when the stand 1 is lifted, so that the torsional rigidity of the stand 1 itself is increased. In addition to being able to improve, the lifting amount of the rear part of the bicycle is small, and the standing operation is light and safe.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper ends of the main reinforcing frame bodies 2A and 3A are joined to the main leg portions 1A and 1A at a sufficient distance so that the high rigidity of the main leg portion 1A is sufficiently long. In addition, the load on the rear portion of the bicycle in the vertical direction at the time of standing can be effectively distributed from the main leg portion 1A to the connection portion 1C from the main reinforcing frame bodies 2A and 3A. Furthermore, by increasing the length of the main leg 1A and suppressing the rising position of the wide portion 1B, the area occupied by the wide portion 1B in the front view with respect to the main leg 1A is made relatively small. Thereby, in addition to the improvement of the lateral rigidity of the wide portions 1B and 1B by the main reinforcing frame bodies 2A and 3A and the auxiliary reinforcing frame bodies 2B and 3B, the torsion-resistant stiffening effect can be derived to the maximum, and the wide portions are formed wide. It is possible to stably hold the connecting portion 1C upright.

  FIG. 4 is a side view showing a jumping state of the bicycle stand according to the present invention, in a state where the jumping position is low. In order to lower the jumping position of the stand 1, the shape of the mounting brackets 4, 5 is appropriately selected to lower the position of the stand support shaft 9, or a stopper that regulates the jumping position of the main leg 1 </ b> A of the stand 1. This is done by appropriately selecting the formation position (not shown). By configuring in this way, it is possible to make the jumping position as shown by a solid line with respect to the normal lifting position of the stand shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The standing operation of the stand 1 can be performed safely without raising the foot, and the foot length of the stand can be shortened as much as possible (the jumping position is lower than that in the vicinity of the diameter of the two-dot chain line tire T) Because it is in position), the lifting amount at the rear of the bicycle is small, and the standing operation is light and safe.
