Description

  The present invention relates to a bicycle parking stand that supports a bicycle with a tire interposed therebetween.

  Conventionally, various kinds of bicycle parking stands are known. Since many bicycle parking stands extend members in the horizontal direction in addition to the members in the vertical direction, a large floor area is required for installation.

  In this regard, there has also been proposed one in which a bicycle parking stand or a bicycle parking device is erected without providing the above-described foot member (lateral member) (Patent Documents 1 to 3).

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-104381 JP 2006-290147 A JP 2011-58244 A

  The conventional technology described in the above-mentioned patent document is inconvenient in that it requires too many parts to hold the bicycle firmly in a standing state, complicates the stand or device, and consequently increases the installation cost. was there.

  Furthermore, conventional bicycle parking stands and bicycle parking devices are usually difficult to use for purposes other than bicycle parking, such as those that are suitable for landscapes in urban spaces, or that naturally blend into the landscape. It's no exaggeration to say that there is no such thing as it normally exists.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can be adapted to various types of bicycles, while having a very simple structure that does not require a bicycle parking member that causes a step obstacle. It is intended to provide a bicycle parking stand that can be adapted to, or can naturally blend into the landscape and create a taste that normally exists.

  The invention described in the first claim of the present application is composed of a bottom plate 2 and support columns 3 and 3 erected on the bottom plate 2 with reference numerals used in the embodiments. The pair of vertically long surface portions 4, 4 facing each other along the vertical direction is supported by the pair of vertically long surface portions 4, 4 sandwiching the tire 6 of the bicycle 5. The parking stand 1 is characterized in that the opposing widths of the surface portions 4 and 4 are provided so as to gradually narrow from the front side to the back side.

  The invention described in claim 2 of the present application is the parking stand 1 according to claim 1, wherein the support columns 3 and 3 are a pair of metal pillars having a triangular cross section.

  The invention described in claim 3 of the present application is that, in claim 2, the support columns 3 and 3 are hollow, and the through holes 7 are provided on the upper portions of the pair of support columns 3 and 3, respectively. It is a bicycle parking stand characterized by being.

  According to the invention described in claim 1 of the present application, the opposing width of the pair of vertically long surface portions is provided so as to gradually narrow from the front side to the back side, so that the tire is interposed between the vertically long surface portions. If inserted, the tire is sandwiched and the bicycle can be supported and parked. In this way, since the bicycle is supported only by the tire being sandwiched between the vertically long surface portions of the support columns, the bicycle can be parked as if the bicycle is standing on its own, and thus the conventional bicycle can be parked. Unlike a bicycle parking stand or a bicycle parking device, there is no need for a bicycle parking member that causes a step obstruction, and thus a bicycle parking stand with an extremely simple structure can be provided.

  According to the invention described in claim 2 of the present application, since the support column is a pair of metal columns having a triangular cross section, it is possible to impart further rigidity to the stand itself.

  According to the invention described in claim 3 of the present application, since a through hole is provided in the upper part of each pair of struts, an appropriate chain, string, etc. are inserted through the through hole together with the tire, Theft can be prevented.

  Thus, according to the bicycle parking stand of the present application, the main stand can also function as a guardrail for a sidewalk, an illumination lamp, and the like, so that it can be installed so as to melt into the city. This point relates to a new concept that does not exist in conventional bicycle parking stands and bicycle parking equipment, and how it can coexist with pedestrians and cars while maintaining the freedom, fun and simplicity of bicycle movement. It gives a single answer to the new theme of whether an environment can be created, both technically, design and environmentally.

  The bicycle parking stand of the post-described embodiment described above has won the highest award at the 2nd BDA (Bicycle Street Design Competition AOYAMA). (Note that this application may be subject to the exception of loss of novelty for exhibiting at this event.)

  By the way, when the exhibited work (the bicycle parking stand according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 10) received the highest award, the comments from each judge were generally as follows. It was. A judge, who does not ride a bicycle himself, is presumed to be selected sensuously, what is simply considered good is calculated by simple subtraction and fits in various situations. It is a work. Judge: This plan naturally blends into the landscape and feels like it exists. Considering the versatility of tires.

  C Judge (Judge Judge): This proposal is a bicycle rack that was born from a very simple idea of two thin steel pillars with a triangular cross-section and a bicycle tire sandwiched between them. The idea of pinching a tire itself is by no means new, and there are many people who have actually used bicycles to hold a bicycle by using the elastic force of the tire and holding it on a guardrail. However, the idea of this proposal seems to have overwhelmed other proposals in that these simple principles are really refined and sublimated into only two small pillars. The V-shaped gap is flexible enough to handle tires of any thickness, and the proper use of the iron material helps to support the bicycle firmly. It was surprising that it was created in a simple form while having the functionality to handle these various bicycles. I don't want to say that there is nothing that refinement or minimal aims. However, these two simple pillars have the potential to be applied to many “things” that we see on a daily basis in urban spaces, such as guardrails and barricahs. It also gives us a sense of hope that it will be beautiful. The degree of perfection that could be commercialized immediately was also a special mention. It was also suitable for the best, including the pleasure of such a small discovery that it can also be used as a rack that can stop a bicycle when a guardrail or barrica in the city suddenly notices it.

  The bicycle parking stand of the present application has a very simple structure as described in the comments of such third parties (each of the above-mentioned judges), but the conventional type of bicycle parking stand is full of functions and therefore includes many members. What has been configured is basically constituted by a predetermined support, that is, a minimum number of members, and by sandwiching a tire with the support, an excellent effect of being able to achieve the purpose of parking It plays. Furthermore, according to the bicycle parking stand of the present application, it can also function as a guardrail for a sidewalk, an illuminating lamp, and the like, and can be installed so as to melt into the town.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The bicycle parking stand 1 of this example includes a bottom plate 2 and support columns 3 and 3 standing on the bottom plate 2. The said support | pillars 3 and 3 are provided with a pair of vertically long surface parts 4 and 4 which oppose along a vertical direction. The pair of vertically long surface portions 4 and 4 support the tire 6 of the bicycle 5 at this portion, and the opposing width of the vertically long surface portions 4 and 4 gradually narrows from the front side to the back side. It is provided to become.

  According to the bicycle parking stand 1 of the present example, the opposing width of the pair of vertically long surface portions 4 and 4 is provided so as to gradually narrow from the front side to the back side. If the tire 6 is inserted in between, the tire 1 is sandwiched and the bicycle 1 can be supported and parked.

  Thus, since the bicycle is supported only by the tire being sandwiched between the vertically long surface portions of the columns, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 10, the bicycle is standing by itself. You can park at Therefore, unlike a conventional bicycle parking stand or a bicycle parking device, there is no need for a bicycle parking member that causes an obstacle to the foot, so that it is possible to provide a bicycle parking stand with an extremely simple structure.

  In the bicycle parking stand of this example, the support column 3 is composed of a pair of metal columns having a triangular cross section, for example, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, it can also be formed by a hollow right triangle-shaped aluminum alloy extrusion mold material having the vertically long surface portion 4 as a long side.

  Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 1-5, the through-hole 7 is provided in the upper part of each said pair of support | pillars 3 and 3 facing. If an appropriate chain, string or the like is inserted into the through hole 7 together with the tire 6, the tire 6 can be fixed to the support columns 3 and 3 and theft can be prevented.

  In the bicycle parking stand 1 of this example, when the columns 3 and 3 standing on the bottom plate 2 are fixed to the ground, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the pipe 8 is integrated with the lower surface of the bottom plate 2. The pipe 8 may be embedded in the ground.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the standing length of the column 3 is 800 mm, for example, when the diameter of the tire 6 is 16 inches, 20 inches, 24 inches, 26 inches and 700 mm, You can park as you like. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the pair of vertically long surface portions 4 and 4 are indicated by broken lines in the same manner as described above when the tire width is 18 mm, 23 mm, 28 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 47 mm, 54 mm, and 60 mm. The bicycle can be parked in the position state.

  In addition, the bicycle parking stand 1 of this example is not only fixed to the ground as in the above embodiment, but also by fixing the bottom plate 2 of the columns 3 and 3 to a plate material or the like as shown in FIG. Can also be installed.

  Furthermore, since the bicycle parking stand 1 of this example is a very simple structure composed of the bottom plate 2 and the support columns 3 and 3 standing on the bottom plate 2, the bicycle parking stand 1 can be used as a sidewalk guardrail or lighting. It can also function as a light, etc., and can be installed so as to melt into the city.

  The present invention is not limited to the one shown in the above embodiment. For example, the columns 3 and 3 are integrally formed, or a column other than a metal is used for the column 3, In the case of using a bent portion in a straight shape, or forming in a shape other than a straight shape, or providing an appropriate anchor member instead of providing the pipe 8 on the lower surface of the bottom plate 2, and further indoors The bottom plate 2 can be appropriately modified to contribute to the object of the present invention, such as bonding or bolting the bottom plate 2 to an appropriate member.

  The bicycle parking stand of the present invention is excellent in labor saving of the number of parts, can be installed anywhere indoors and outdoors, and does not require a bicycle parking member that becomes a step obstacle. It can be suitably used as a bicycle parking stand with a simple structure.
