But omitted in the figure.

The support frame 7 can be inserted / removed in the left / right direction in FIG. 1 with respect to the fixed frame 6 by a guide rail, a guide roller 8, etc., which are omitted in the figure, and the support frame 7 is pulled out to the right in the figure. The rear portion 7b side of 7 is tiltable downward as shown by the chain line in the figure. When accommodating and disposing the bicycle in the support frame 7, the front wheel and the rear wheel of the bicycle are placed in order on the frame 7 with the rear portion 7b side of the frame 7 tilted downward as described above, and the support thereof is provided. It is pulled up together with the frame 7 and pushed into the fixed frame 6. Reference numeral 9 in the figure denotes a handle when the support frame 7 is taken in and out.

Further, the support frame 7 is provided with a catcher mechanism 10 for preventing the bicycle from unintentionally retracting or dropping when the bicycle is placed and raised and lowered. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a pair of left and right rotating arms 11 having a substantially semi-arcuate shape are arranged face to face on both sides of the support frame 7. A plane U-shaped bearing member 12 is integrally provided on each rotating arm 11 by welding or the like, and a bolt 14 or a flat U-shaped bracket 13 fixed to the outer surface side of the support frame 7 by welding or the like. It is rotatably attached with a nut 15 or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper part of each rotating arm 11 is bent and formed substantially parallel to the front (on the side of the fixed frame 6), and the tip end thereof is made of rubber or the like that abuts and engages with the rim of the wheel. A contact engagement portion 11a made of an elastic body is provided. Further, the lower end portion of each rotating arm 11 is configured to be retractable in the supporting frame 7 through an opening 7c formed in the bottom surface of the support frame 7 as a rotating operation end 11b. In the figure, 16 is a spring for urging the rotating arms 11 to rotate in a direction in which the abutting engagement portions 11a and 11a are separated from each other. The pivoting operation end 11b of each pivoting arm 11 is in contact with the edge of the opening 7c and projects inward of the support frame 7.

In the present invention, the wheel receiving plate 17 is provided on the upper portion of the rotating operation end 11b projecting inward of the support frame 7 as described above so as to cover the upper surface thereof. In the illustrated example, the plate 17 has a U-shaped cross section, and one end of the plate 17 is swingably attached to the support frame 7 by a support shaft 18 such as a bolt. In particular, in the case of the drawing, the front side of the wheel receiving plate 17, that is, the end portion on the side of the fixed frame 6 is formed in a tubular shape, and the support shaft 18 is inserted therein and supported so as to be tiltable.

In order to release the locked state by the catcher mechanism 10, the wheels on the support frame 7 may be slightly lifted and separated from the end portion 11b, whereby the rotating arms 11 and 11 can be released.

The bicycle is placed on the support frame 7 from the front wheel side by pulling it out from the frame 6 and inclining downward as shown by the chain line in the figure. When the front wheel is raised along the support frame 7 and moved onto the wheel receiving plate 17, the The rotating operation end 11b at the lower end of the rotating arm is pushed downward by the load via the wheel receiving plate 17, and the contact engaging portions 11a of both rotating arms 11 approach each other against the spring 16. Although it rotates in the direction, when the front wheels are floated from the wheel receiving plate 17 and adjusted, the contact engagement portions 11a return to the directions in which they are separated from each other, and the front wheels can pass through.

Subsequently, when the front wheels are lifted to the predetermined mounting position along the support frame 7, the rear wheels move onto the wheel receiving plate 17, and the load thereof rotates through the wheel receiving plate 17 in the same manner as above. The rotation operation end 11b at the lower end of the moving arm is pushed downward, and the contact engagement portions 11a of the both rotation arms 11 rotate in the direction toward each other against the spring 16. As a result, the pressure contact member 12 abuts and engages with the rim portion (not shown) so as to hold the tire of the rear wheel W, and the backward movement of the bicycle is prevented. In this state, the support frame 7 may be pulled up and accommodated in the fixed frame 6 as shown by the solid line in FIG.

When lowering the bicycle, it is sufficient to pull down the support frame 7 from the fixed frame 6 and pull out the bicycle from the support frame in the reverse order of the above. At that time, place the bicycle on the wheel support plate 17. When the rear wheel is slightly pulled up, the contact engagement portions 11a are automatically rotated by the spring 16 in the directions in which the contact engagement portions 11a are separated from each other, and the engagement with the rim is released. When passing over, you can easily pass it if you float it slightly.

When the bicycle is placed on the support frame as described above, the front and rear wheels W come into contact with the turning operation end 11b of the turning arm 11 via the wheel receiving plate 17, so that the rubber tire or the tube is not worn. It is possible to prevent puncture without damaging the bicycle and even when the supporting frame is dropped suddenly with the bicycle resting on the supporting frame 7.

In the above embodiment, a metal plate having a U-shaped cross section is used as the wheel receiving plate 17, but the material, shape and the like are appropriate. Further, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example as long as the operation end portion of the rotating arm in the catcher mechanism as described above is disposed in the support frame, and can be applied to various catcher mechanisms.
