BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an upright bicycle parking apparatus capable of mooring a bicycle efficiently in space.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional flat-type bicycle parking device, a bicycle that has been loaded into a bicycle parking lot has a horizontally long upright state in which both front wheels and rear wheels are in contact with the floor or road surface, that is, a normal running state. It is still moored.

However, in the bicycle parking system in which the bicycles are moored in a horizontally long upright state in which the front wheels and the rear wheels are horizontally aligned, the depth of the bicycle parking space must be deep, and the parked bicycles must be deep. Since the upper space of the class is left unused, the space is not used efficiently.

In the upright type bicycle parking apparatus disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 4-872, the base end of the revolving arm is connected by a horizontal pivot to a support fixed to a foundation surface, and the tip end of the revolving arm is connected. A holder that engages with the axle nut of the front wheel of the bicycle is provided.When the swivel arm is rotated upright, the bicycle is suspended vertically by rotating in the vertical plane around the axle, improving space utilization efficiency. To be done.

However, in this holder, a pair of left and right sandwiching plates are provided with receiving holes bent in a V shape, and the sandwiching plates are inserted by a coil spring inserted between the tip of the swivel arm and the sandwiching plate to fit each sandwiching plate. They are biased toward each other, and their shape and structure are relatively.

In addition, in use, since it is necessary to fit the front wheel of the bicycle between the left and right sandwiching plates and then the axle nut of the front wheel into the receiving hole of the sandwiching plate, the engagement operation between the holder and the front wheel is required. It was relatively time-consuming.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an upright bicycle parking apparatus that has improved space utilization efficiency, a simplified shape structure, and easy handling operation. is there.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems Hereinafter, referring to the reference numerals in the accompanying drawings, an upright bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention includes a support base 2 fixed to a base surface 1 and a support base 2. It comprises a revolving arm 4 whose ends are connected by a horizontal pivot 3, a suspending arm 5 provided at the tip of the revolving arm 4, and a holding means 6 for holding the revolving arm 4 in an upright position.

By a pair of front and rear lower supporting short side portions 10 and 11 with which the tread 9 of the front wheel 8 of the bicycle 7 abuts, and a pair of left and right lateral supporting long side portions 14 and 15 with which the side surfaces 12 and 13 of the front wheel 8 abut. The suspension arm 5 is formed in an elongated ring shape.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the user fits the suspension arm 5 of the front wheel 8 of the bicycle 7 and then pushes the bicycle 7, the swing arm 4 is rotated upward about the horizontal pivot 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the swing arm 4 stands upright with respect to the foundation surface 1.

During this rotation process, the bicycle 7 rotates in the vertical plane about the axle 16 of the front wheel 8, the rear wheel 17 comes under the front wheel 8, and the handle 18, saddle 19 and luggage carrier 20 of the swing arm 4 move. Come forward The lateral support long side portions 14 and 15 of the suspension arm 4 contact the left and right side surfaces 12 and 13 of the front wheel 8, and the lower support short side portions 10 and 11 contact the tread surface 9 of the front wheel 8.

The upright swing arm 4 thus held is held in an upright position on the foundation surface 1 by a suitable restraint means, and the bicycle 7 has a vertically long wheel with the front wheel 8 arranged above and the rear wheel 17 arranged below. Placed upright.

[0013]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the illustrated embodiment, a foundation surface 1 is constituted by a floor surface of a bicycle parking lot, and a support base 2 is fixed to the foundation surface 1 by an appropriate means such as embedding, welding or bolting. . The pair of left and right swivel arms 4 is formed in a V-shape or an L-shape, and a guide 22 made of a groove-shaped member is connected to a tip end portion of the swivel arm 4 by a horizontal pivot shaft 21.

When the revolving arm 4 is in the standby position in which the swing arm 4 is tilted toward the foundation surface 1, the lower end of the guide 22 is in contact with the foundation surface 1, and the front wheel 8 of the bicycle 7 is guided by the guide 22 and suspended. It is fitted into the lower arm 4. The bicycle 7 is guided by the guide 22 and is pushed diagonally upward.

The base end portion of the upright swivel arm 4 abuts on the stop surface portion 23 of the support base 2, and the locking pin 24 on the outer surface of the base end portion is pivotally attached to the support base 2 by a horizontal pivot 25. The hook plate 26 is engaged. As a result, the revolving arm 4 is prevented from rotating backward, and the bicycle 7 is restrained in the upright position in which the bicycle 7 is suspended. That is, the holding means 6 is composed of the pin 24 and the hook plate 26.

The horizontal pivot 3 is inserted into a vertically long slot 27 of the support base 2, and a tension coil spring 30 is provided between a spring receiving part 28 at the base end of the pivot arm 4 and a spring receiving part 29 of the support base 2. It is installed. When the swivel arm 4 is in the tilted position, the horizontal pivot 3 engages with the lower end of the slot 27 and is positioned rearward with respect to the straight line connecting the spring receiving portion 28 and the spring receiving portion 29.

Therefore, the tension coil spring 30 urges the swivel arm 4 to rotate in the tilting direction, and the front wheel 8 is fitted into the suspending arm 5 while the swivel arm 4 is held in a stable posture. . The operation of standing and rotating the revolving arm 4 while pressing the bicycle 7 against the suspension arm 5 is easily performed because the horizontal pivot 3 is engaged with the lower end of the slot 27 and is at a relatively low position.

Shortly after the swivel arm 4 is rotated upright, the horizontal pivot 3 crosses the straight line connecting the spring receiving portion 28 and the spring receiving portion 29 to the front side, and at this moment, the biasing direction of the tension coil spring 30 is reversed, and the swiveling arm 4 is rotated. Bounce up 4 in the standing direction and urge it. Therefore, the standing arm of the revolving arm 4 can be easily rotated.

When the swivel arm 4 stands upright, the base cam surface 31 of the swivel arm 4 is guided to the slope portion 32 on the support base 2 side, so that the swivel arm 4 is slightly pushed up, and the horizontal pivot 3 is slid 27. Engage the upper end of.

The shape of the support base 2, the swivel arm 4, the suspension arm 5, the structure of the holding means 6, and the like are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0021]

As described above, in the upright type bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention, the suspension arm 5 is provided at the tip of the revolving arm 4 which is connected to the support base 2 fixed to the foundation surface 1 by the horizontal pivot shaft 3. When the bicycle 7 is pushed to rotate the turning arm 4 upright after the front wheel 8 is fitted into the suspension arm 5, the bicycle 7 rotates in a vertical plane and is moored in a vertically long upright state. The depth of the bicycle parking space will be halved, and the upper space will be effectively used.

Further, in the upright bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention, the suspension arm 5 formed in the shape of an elongated ring has the pair of left and right lateral support long side portions 14 and 15 contact the left and right side surfaces 12 and 13 of the front wheel 8. On the other hand, the pair of front and rear lower supporting short side portions 10 and 11 come into contact with the tread 9 of the front wheel 8, so that the bicycle 7 can be held moored stably and safely.

Furthermore, since the suspension arm 5 has an extremely simplified shape and structure, not only the manufacturing process is simple and inexpensive, but also the attachment of the bicycle 7 to the suspension arm 5 is performed by the front wheel 8. Since it can be performed with a very simple operation of fitting, it is also easy to handle.
