Description

  The present invention relates to a bicycle parking apparatus used in a bicycle parking lot or the like.

  In a bicycle parking lot, it is desirable that more bicycles be parked in line. For example, if the bicycles are arranged in parallel in the same direction, the handles will get caught and it will be difficult to take out the bicycles, so it is not possible to place the bicycles close together, and as a result there will always be a gap. There is a problem that the parking density becomes worse.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle parking device that can park more bicycles than a bicycle parking lot of a certain size and that can easily perform the bicycle parking work. And

  In this invention, a base that is fixed to the installation surface of the apparatus, a bicycle mounting table that can be mounted while pushing the bicycle, and a connecting operation arm that is connected at both ends to the base and the mounting table. The bicycle parking apparatus is characterized in that it can be displaced from the position where the mounting table can be placed by pushing the bicycle to the front and upper storage positions by the operation of the connecting operation arm.

  According to the said structure, a bicycle can be parked in the storage position of the front and upper direction by mounting and pushing a bicycle on a mounting base. As a result, the bicycle can be parked in a floating state at a certain high position, and the handle position of the bicycle is raised so that it does not come into contact with the handle of an adjacent bicycle placed on a concrete surface, etc. The bicycle can be parked as a closer state. Furthermore, since the vehicle body other than the steering wheel is located higher, handling of the bicycle parked on the adjacent concrete surface or the like is easily performed by securing the space.

  According to the present invention, more bicycles can be parked than a bicycle parking lot of a certain size, and the bicycle parking work can be easily performed.

  FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of an embodiment of a bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention. The bicycle parking device 1 is entirely made of metal, and includes a base 2 that is fixed to the installation surface of the bicycle parking device 1, a bicycle mounting table 3, and two connecting operation arms that connect the base 2 and the mounting table 3. 4.

  The base 2 is fixedly arranged on the concrete surface of the bicycle parking lot, which is the installation surface of the bicycle parking device 1, by the fixtures 21 at the front and rear positions thereof.

  The mounting table 3 includes a groove-shaped rail body 31, a pair of wires 32 fixed to the upper edge of the rail body 31, and an auxiliary rail body 34 connected to the base of the rail body 31. The wire 32 extends from the front end of the rail body 31 and is continuous at the tip, and a tire receiver 36 that is curved downward is attached to the middle of the extended portion.

  Each of the connecting arms 4 has a configuration in which a pair of curved arm bars 41 are connected, and both ends of the arm bars 41 are pivotally supported and attached to the lower portion of the rail body 31 and the side portions of the base 2 respectively. Yes. A coil spring 45 is attached between the lower part of the front connecting arm 4 and the front part of the base 2.

  Hereinafter, the operation | movement at the time of use of the said bicycle parking apparatus 1 is demonstrated using FIG. 2, FIG. The bicycle parking device 1 is arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval in a bicycle parking lot.

  When the bicycle parking device 1 has the handle 50 in the state of FIG. 2, the front tire 51 of the bicycle B is placed on the auxiliary rail body 34, the bicycle B is moved forward a little, and then the rear part of the bicycle B is pushed. The rail body 31 is advanced. At that time, even if the handle 50 is not provided, the front tire 51 is supported by the side edge of the rail body 31, so that the bicycle B does not fall down. When the bicycle B is further moved forward and upward, the front tire 51 of the bicycle B falls forward from the front end of the rail body 31, the lower portion of the front tire 51 is received by the tire receiver 36, and the front portion is a continuous portion at the tip of the wire 31. 38 to abut.

  When the bicycle B is further pushed in this state, the bicycle B is engaged with the tire receiver 36 and the continuous portion 38 of the wire 31 to prevent the front tire 50 from moving forward. With the operation, it is lifted forward and the state shown in FIG. 3 is obtained. When the bicycle B and the mounting table 3 are lifted forward together, the pulling force of the coil spring 45 acts, and this allows the lift to be performed in a stable state that does not rattle with a small force.

  In the state of FIG. 3, the connecting arm 4 is designed so that the distance X is slightly smaller than the distance Y, so that the front side of the mounting table 3 is slightly lower than the rear side, and the front tire 51 of the bicycle. Is placed in the front position of the rail body 31 so that the center of gravity of the integrated body of the bicycle B and the mounting table 3 is applied to the front side, so that the bicycle B is stored in the stable holding state in the state of FIG. Bicycle parking is completed.

  As described above, the bicycle B is parked in a state of floating substantially horizontally at a high position of about 80 cm. When this parking is completed, the position of the handle 50 of the bicycle B is raised, so that the bicycle B is placed next to the concrete surface. The bicycle is not in contact with the handle of the bicycle, and therefore the bicycle can be parked as being closer to the plane position. Further, since the vehicle body portion other than the handle 50 is also located higher, handling of the bicycle parked on the adjacent concrete surface can be easily performed by securing the space. As a result, a large number of bicycles can be parked in a limited parking space by arranging the bicycle parking devices 1 in parallel at intervals.

  When taking out the bicycle from the bicycle parking state of FIG. 3, pull the bicycle B backward with the side or rear portion of the bicycle B. As a result, the bicycle B moves rearward together with the mounting table 3, and the center of gravity of the bicycle B is lowered by its own weight from the position where the center of gravity is applied rearward. At that position, the bicycle B is further pulled backward to remove the front tire 51 from the tire receiver 36 and take it out. The pulling force of the coil spring 45 also acts when the bicycle B is lowered integrally with the mounting table 3, thereby enabling the lowering operation in a stable state without rattling.
