[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional bicycle parking apparatus, as shown in FIG. 7, the front end of the parking rail 3 is lifted higher than the installation surface 1, so that the front wheels 4 and the rear wheels 7 must be lifted by that amount. In addition to this, the front wheels 4 have to push up linearly on the parking rail 3 inclined at a predetermined angle until the front wheel 4 reaches the top of the parking rail 3, which requires a considerable force. Therefore, it was not easy for old people and children to park their bicycles. To cope with this, as shown in FIG. 8, there is provided a parking rail 3 provided with an auxiliary rail 8 which is inclined at a slightly steep angle up to the installation surface 1 at the front end thereof. However, even in this case, the front wheels 4 and the rear wheels 7 must be pushed up along the auxiliary rails 8 inclined at the steep angle, which requires a certain amount of force, and the bicycle 6 cannot be pushed up smoothly. It was impossible.

Further, in both of the above-mentioned two conventional examples, the entire bicycle 6 is tilted according to the tilt angle of the parking rail 3, and the front wheel 4 swings laterally only by the height of the steady rest member 5. However, the stability of the parked bicycle 6 was not sufficient. In addition, the parking units, which are combined and arranged side by side at a predetermined interval in the horizontal direction, are arranged without any positional deviation between the front and rear, so that even if the parking rails 3 of the adjacent parking units are provided with high and low steps, they are adjacent to each other. The front and rear positions of the pedals 8 of the bicycles 6 parked at the same position were almost the same, and the pedals 8 of the bicycles 6 adjacent to each other were sometimes intertwined.

Therefore, the present invention addresses such a problem, allows the user to easily park with a small amount of power, enhances the stability of a parked bicycle, and further improves the stability of the pedal of the next bicycle. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bicycle parking device that can prevent entanglement.

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a bicycle parking apparatus according to the present invention. This bicycle parking device is for parking a large number of bicycles in an orderly order in a bicycle parking lot, and as shown in FIG. 1, a base member 10, a front wheel stopper 11, and a proposed member 12 are provided. A plurality of parking units 13 each consisting of are arranged side by side at predetermined intervals and combined.

The base member 10 serves as a base member that stably supports the parking unit 13, which is one structural unit of the bicycle parking device, and is provided on the front side portion of the bicycle 6 (see FIG. 6) in the parking direction. It is provided to come into contact with the installation surface 1 with a predetermined bottom area. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, it is formed by bending a metal pipe material 14 into a rectangular shape having a predetermined size. The material is not limited to metal and may be plastic as long as it has sufficient strength.

The front wheel stopper 11 is for fixing the front wheel 4 (see FIG. 6) of the bicycle 6 and holding the bicycle 6 in a parked state. The front wheel stopper 11 has a predetermined height at the back side of the base member 10. The front wheel 4 of the bicycle 6 is provided with a hole which is provided substantially horizontally at a slightly raised position and into which the front wheel 4 is dropped by a predetermined depth. That is, in FIG. 1, the two pipe members 14 are raised at a substantially right angle at the rear end of the base member 10 and, as shown in FIG. It extends from the length and folds back to form a loop. The distance between the two loop-shaped pipe members 14 ′ and 14 ′ is slightly wider than the width of the front wheel 4 of the bicycle 6. As shown in FIG. 1, a round bar-shaped front stopper 15a is provided across the lower part of the entrance between the two loop-shaped pipe members 14 ', 14', and a round bar-shaped upper stopper 15a is provided on the upper part on the back side. A rod-shaped rear stopper 15b is provided across. As a result, a hole 16 is formed in the space between the front stopper 15a and the rear stopper 15b into which the front wheel 4 of the bicycle 6 is dropped by a predetermined depth. The bicycle 6 is held in a parked state by the front wheel 4 falling into the hole 16 due to its own weight.

As shown in FIG. 6, the guide member 12 guides the front wheels 4 and the rear wheels 7 of the bicycle 6 to the parking position, and extends from the front end position of the base member 10 to the entrance portion of the front wheel stopper 11. Is provided. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a rail member made of metal and having a channel-shaped cross section and a predetermined length is stretched over at a predetermined angle as shown in FIG. The material is not limited to metal, and may be plastic or wood as long as it has sufficient strength.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, one parking unit 13 including the base member 10, the front wheel stopper 11, and the guide member 12 is configured. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of parking units 13 (13a, 13b) arranged side by side in the lateral direction are arranged and combined to form the bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention. It should be noted that the predetermined horizontal interval may be set so that the handles between the bicycles 6 parked next to each other do not collide with each other.

As another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, adjacent parking units 13a and 13b may be alternately staggered in the front-rear direction. In this case, the shift amount d in the front-rear direction between the adjacent parking units 13a, 13b is a distance such that the front and rear positions of the handlebars and pedals 8 (see FIG. 6) of the bicycles 6 parked next to each other are not the same. To do. In this way, the hands and pedals 8 of the bicycles 6 parked next to each other can be prevented from being entangled with each other, and a predetermined lateral interval between the adjacent parking units 13a and 13b can be shortened.

As another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, a height higher than that of the front wheel stopper 11 is provided between the parking units 13a and 13b alternately shifted in the front-rear direction as described above. It is also possible to provide a parking unit 13 'having a low position front wheel stop portion 11' of low. As shown in FIG. 2, the parking unit 13 'is for parking the bicycle 6 by changing the height between two parking units 13a and 13b laterally arranged at a predetermined interval. As shown in FIG. 3, the pipe member 14 of the base member 10 of the parking units 13a, 13b located on both sides is used, and the low position front wheel stopper made of the loop-shaped pipe member 14 'is provided on the back side of the pipe member 14. It has a part 11 '. It should be noted that the lower position front wheel stopper portion 11 'is formed with a hole portion 16 into which the front wheel 4 of the bicycle 6 is dropped by a predetermined depth by the front stopper 15a and the rear stopper 15b as described above. . Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the pipe members 14 and 14 of the base members 10 of the parking units 13a and 13b located on both sides are connected by the concave connecting metal fittings 17, and the pipe members 14 and 14 themselves are horizontal. The guide member is extended to

In this case, in FIG. 2, the distance c between the parking units 13a, 13 'and 13b may be set so that the pedals 8 of the bicycles 6 parked next to each other do not hit each other. In this way, the pedals 8 of the bicycles 6 can be prevented from being entangled with each other, and the predetermined horizontal interval between the adjacent parking units 13a, 13 ', 13b can be further shortened.

Next, the use of the bicycle parking device thus configured will be described with reference to FIG. First, the user advances the bicycle 6 as shown by arrows A, B and C in front of the parking units 13a, 13b and 13 'to be used in FIG. For example, assuming that the parking unit 13a is used, the front wheel 4 is placed on the front end of the guide member 12 and pushed up as it is, as shown in FIG. Then, when the front wheel 4 advances to the entrance of the front wheel stopper 11, this time it moves horizontally, and when it crosses the front stopper 15a shown in FIG. 1, the front wheel 4 falls into the hole 16 by its own weight, and the rear stopper The depression is stopped by 15b. At this time, the rear wheel 7 has advanced to the vicinity of the front end of the guide member 12, and the front wheel 4 falls into the hole 16 by its own weight, so that the front wheel 4 coasts to the guide member 12 by its inertia and stops at the front end. Stop. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6, the front wheels 4 and the rear wheels 7 are fixed, and the bicycle 6 is held in the parked state. The use of the other parking units 13b, 13 'is similar to the above.

In this case, as is apparent from FIG. 6, since the front wheel stopper portion 11 is substantially horizontal, the distance to push up the inclined guide member 12 may be small. Further, since the front wheel 4 falls into the hole 16 of the front wheel stop portion 11 due to its own weight, the rear wheel 7 advances to the guide member 12 and rides on the front end portion by its inertia, so the pushing force may be small. Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, since the front and rear positions and the heights of the parking units 13a, 13b, 13 'arranged side by side are different from each other, the handlebars and pedals 8 of the bicycles 6 parked next to each other may be different. Never get entangled.

In the above description, the above-mentioned base member 10 is not limited to the one in which the pipe material 14 is bent in a rectangular shape, and may be a flat plate material formed in a rectangular shape of a predetermined size. . Further, the front wheel stopper 11 is not limited to the one composed of the two loop-shaped pipe members 14 ', 14', the front stopper 15a and the rear stopper 15b, and may be, for example, a channel-shaped cross section having a predetermined length. It is also possible to form a hole in which the front wheel 4 of the bicycle 6 is dropped by a predetermined depth on the bottom surface of the formed rail member.
