Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a two-stage bicycle parking apparatus in which a bicycle is stored in a manually operated slider.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Bicycle parking lots for bicycles are currently being constructed as a measure against bicycle pollution. Then, a manual two-stage bicycle parking device has been attracting attention as one of means for storing a large number of bicycles in a narrow space. This manual two-stage bicycle parking device configures the upper-stage bicycle parking device so that the bicycle is stored in the manually operated slider, and the lower-stage bicycle is accurately positioned below the upper-stage bicycle. The lower-stage bicycle parking device is installed so that it can be stored.

[0003]

In the manual two-stage bicycle parking apparatus, there is a major problem in the upper bicycle parking apparatus for lifting the bicycle to the upper storage position 1 m above the ground. That is, as this device, in order to facilitate the lifting of the slider by human power, there are a case where a biasing mechanism such as a weight or a spring is used and a case where such a biasing mechanism is not used. In the multi-stage bicycle parking device, the structure becomes complicated when the biasing mechanism is used,
On the other hand, if the biasing mechanism is not used, it is difficult to lift the slider.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a two-stage bicycle parking apparatus which can facilitate lifting of a slider by using an urging mechanism and can simplify the structure of an upper bicycle parking apparatus.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a two-stage bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention is provided with a support rod supported substantially horizontally by a support column at a required height, and a support rod along the support rod. A movable carriage that is movably provided and connected to the movable carriage via a movable arm so that the movable carriage can slide along the movable carriage along the supporting rod, and is provided at the tip of the supporting rod at the position where it is pulled out from the supporting rod. A slider that is swingable in a vertical plane with a guide roller as a fulcrum, and an expansion / contraction means that is provided between the movable carriage and the movable arm and that applies a biasing force to the movable arm in the direction of swinging the slider upward. It is characterized by comprising a biasing mechanism provided.

[0006]

This two-stage bicycle parking apparatus makes the slider slidable along with the movable carriage along the support rod, and applies the urging force in the direction of swinging the slider upward by the expansion / contraction means via the movable arm. With this configuration, sliding along the support rod of the slider and swinging in the vertical plane at the position pulled out from the support rod can be performed easily.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A two-stage bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The two-stage bicycle parking device is a pillar 1 that is established on a floor surface 2 of a lower-stage bicycle parking device provided on the ground surface.
And an upper-stage bicycle parking apparatus A attached to the upper part of the column 1.

The upper-stage bicycle-parking device A is provided on the support column 1 directly or through a pedestal support having a U-shaped cross section, and a supporting rod 3 which is mounted substantially horizontally, and is movably provided along the supporting rod 3. The movable carriage 10, the slider 4 which is slidable along with the movable carriage 10 along the support rod 3, and which is swingably provided in the vertical plane at the position pulled out from the support rod 3. An urging mechanism 5 that applies an urging force in the direction of swinging upward is mainly configured.

The support rod 3 is formed of a square pipe or lip groove type steel, and the lower end of the base end is attached directly to the column 1 or via a pedestal support, and the attachment shaft S is attached to the tip end thereof. A guide roller G is rotatably provided through the guide roller G. The guide roller G is fitted to a guide rail 7 having a U-shaped cross section formed along the longitudinal direction of the slider 4, so that the slider 4 slides in the longitudinal direction and the position where the slider 4 is pulled out from the support rod 3. It functions as a fulcrum when the slider 4 swings in a vertical plane.

The slider 4 is made of grooved steel having a concave cross section and is arranged with its opening facing upward. An operating handle 8 is provided at the tip and front and rear wheels of the bicycle are provided on both sides of the upper surface. A wheel receiving member 9 for guiding and holding the rear wheel is attached.

A movable carriage 10 is arranged in the support rod 3 so as to be movable along the longitudinal direction thereof. This mobile trolley 10
As shown in detail in FIGS. 5 and 6, wheels 10w and 10w for traveling are provided on both ends of a carriage main body 10a having a size that can be inserted into the support rod 3, and one end side of the carriage main body 10a is provided. The lower end of the movable arm 6 is pivotally attached to both sides via support shafts 10b and 10b, and the tip of the movable arm 6 is pivotally attached to the tip of the slider 4 via a shaft 6s. Also, the shaft 6s has
The roller 6w is rotatably arranged.

As an urging mechanism 5 for applying an urging force in the direction of oscillating the slider 4 upward, a oscillating arm 10c is attached to a base end side of a movable arm 6 pivotally attached to a carriage main body 10a via a shaft 10d. This rocking arm 1 is supported and
At the tip of 0c, a bracket 10f protruding from one end side of the expanding / contracting means 11 such as a gas spring is connected via a support shaft 10e, and the other end side of the expanding / contracting means 11 is connected to a bracket 10g protruding from the bogie body 10a. To do.

When the bicycle is stored in the upper bicycle storage device A of the two-stage bicycle storage device, as shown in FIG. 1, a bicycle (not shown) is attached to the slider 4 whose lower end is grounded. After mounting, hold the operating handle 8 and lift the slider 4. As a result, the slider 4 is swung in the vertical plane with the guide roller G provided at the tip of the support rod 3 as a fulcrum (arrow X in FIG. 1) to bring the slider 4 into a substantially horizontal state, and then the slider 4 is moved. By pushing in, the moving carriage 10, the guide roller G and the shaft 6s
By the action of the roller 6w arranged in the above, the slider 4 is lightly slid along the support rod 3 (arrow Y in FIG. 1) and moved to the storage position of the bicycle along the support rod 3. In this case, the movable arm 6 and the swing arm 11 are horizontal as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and the expansion / contraction means 11 is in an extended state. On the other hand, when lowering the bicycle, the slider 4 is moved together with the moving carriage 10 from the storage position of the bicycle to the support rod 3
The slider 4 is slid along the base rod 3 and pulled out from the support rod 3, and at that position, the slider 4 is swung in the vertical plane by the guide roller G provided at the tip of the support rod 3 as a fulcrum by its own weight. Ground the bottom.

By the way, the urging mechanism 5 having the expanding and contracting means 11 transmits the urging force (pressing force) to the movable arm 6 via the swing arm 10c, whereby the slider 4 is swung upward ( Since the urging force (in the direction of arrow X in FIG. 1) is applied, when the bicycle is stored in the upper bicycle storage device A, the force required to lift the slider 4 is reduced, and , When you take down the bicycle,
It is possible to prevent the downward swing of the slider 4 from being suddenly performed, thereby improving the safety of operation.

[0015]

According to the two-stage bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention, the sliding mechanism along the support rod of the slider and the swinging in the vertical plane at the position pulled out from the support rod are carried out easily by a simple mechanism. It is possible to improve the safety when the bicycle is taken in and out.
