The support 2 ′ is formed by bending a single rod-like object into a long, oval shape, and a pair of supports 2 ′, 2 ′ are opposed in parallel at an interval. In this state, a pair of locking members 4 ', 4' are disposed at both ends of the lower edge.

[0004] Therefore, when a part of the front wheel of the bicycle is dropped between the supports 2 'and 2', the front wheel is supported at two points by the pair of locking members 4 'and 4', and the pair of supports is formed. Since both sides of the front wheel are regulated by 2 ′, 2 ′, the bicycle can be raised without using the stand provided on the bicycle.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, the above-mentioned conventional bicycle parking device is arranged with a spacing such that the pair of supports 2 ', 2' is substantially close to a plurality of spokes projecting outward from the outer periphery (rim) of the wheel toward the center. As a result, the bicycle is kept upright with limited swing in the left and right directions. Therefore, the following problem occurs.

That is, since the above-described conventional bicycle parking devices are arranged as closely as possible from the viewpoint of effective use of the bicycle parking area, it is difficult to hit a bicycle next to the bicycle (particularly, a steering wheel) and put in the bicycle. The problem is that it becomes difficult to pull out your own bicycle by getting caught on the next bicycle (especially the steering wheel).

In order to solve such a problem, the distance between the pair of supports 2 ′, 2 ′ is increased so that the bicycle can swing right and left, thereby avoiding interference with the next bicycle, It is conceivable to take measures to disengage from the bicycle, but if the distance between the supports 2 ', 2' is too wide, the rotation of the steering wheel cannot be regulated, and the standing state of the bicycle may be reduced. The problem of instability arises.

In view of the above, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a bicycle parking device that can easily take in and out a bicycle while effectively utilizing a bicycle parking area. As an issue.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a bicycle parking device according to the present invention includes a pair of opposed supports 2 and 2, and a part of a wheel is dropped between the supports 2 and 2 to stand a bicycle. The device is characterized in that a relief portion 3 is formed in a part of the support 2 to avoid interference with spokes of a wheel.

[0010] According to the bicycle parking device having the above-described configuration, by providing the relief portion 3, interference between the spokes of the wheels and the support 2 can be avoided, and the bicycle can be tilted in the lateral direction. . Therefore, in the parking lot where a plurality of bicycle parking devices are arranged side by side, if the adjacent bicycle is tilted in the direction away from the bicycle, not only is it possible to secure a large space for putting in and out the bicycle, but also it is possible to get caught by the next bicycle. Can be easily solved.

Further, the bicycle parking device according to the present invention can adopt a configuration in which the relief portions 3 are formed on the respective supports 2 as described in claim 2. According to the bicycle parking device having such a configuration, the bicycle can be tilted in both left and right directions, and a wider space for taking in and out the bicycle can be secured.

Further, in the bicycle parking device according to the present invention, a pair of front and rear locking members 4 and 4 that contact the outer periphery of the wheel are disposed between the supports 2 and 2. A configuration can be employed. According to the bicycle parking device having such a configuration, the pair of locking members 4 and 4 restrict the movement of the wheels in the forward and rearward directions. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the bicycle from floating and maintain a stable standing state. it can. Incidentally, in a bicycle parking device in which the wheels dropped between the support plates 2 and 2 do not touch the base surface such as the ground, the wheels are supported by the pair of locking members 4 and 4.

[0013] In the bicycle parking device according to the present invention, the support 2 is formed of a rod-like material, and the relief portion 3 bends a part of the rod-like material outward. Thus, a configuration formed by this can be adopted. According to the bicycle parking apparatus having such a configuration, not only can it be made simple and inexpensive, but also the number of contact portions with the wheels can be reduced so that the wheels are not damaged.

Further, the bicycle parking device according to the present invention can adopt a configuration in which the relief portion 3 is formed in an arc shape that bulges outward toward the center toward the outside. According to the bicycle parking device having such a configuration, the relief portion 3 is arranged along the enveloping surface of the spoke, and the bicycle handle does not rotate carelessly when tilted, and maintains a stable standing state. be able to.

Further, the bicycle parking device according to the present invention employs a configuration in which the distance between the ends 2a, 2a of the supports 2, 2 is set to about 50 to 70 mm, as described in claim 6. be able to. According to the bicycle parking device having such a configuration, the rotation of the steering wheel can be restricted by the ends 2a, 2a of the supports 2, 2, while the bicycle can be tilted in the left-right direction.

Further, in the bicycle parking device according to the present invention, the legs 5 are attached to the supports 2, 2 and two types of legs 5a, 5b having different lengths are alternately provided. By fixing the support members 2 and 2 to the base surface in parallel, the height positions of the supports 2 and 2 can be alternately changed. According to the bicycle parking device having such a configuration, the bicycles arranged side by side can be parked by alternately changing the height position of the front wheels, for example, so that they do not interfere with the adjacent bicycle (particularly, the steering wheel). This makes it easier to get in and out of the bicycle.

[0017]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The bicycle parking device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a pair of supports 2 and 2 facing each other, and a leg 5 extending downward from the supports 2 and 2. It is fixedly installed on the base surface.

The support 2 is formed by bending a single rod-like object into a long oval shape, and a pair of supports 2 and 2 are opposed to each other in parallel with an interval. In the present embodiment, the distance P between the pair of supports 2 (the distance between the ends 2a, 2a) is set to about 57 mm.

Further, a pair of locking members 4, 4 are disposed below the ends 2 a, 2 a of the supports 2, 2 (at both ends of the lower edge of the supports 2, 2). In this embodiment, the bar is cut into the same length as the interval P between the pair of supports 2 and 2, and both ends of the bar are welded to the support 2, respectively. By the pair of locking members 4, 4, the pair of support members 2, 2 are integrally fixed while maintaining a state of being opposed in parallel with a space.

Further, at a position above the center of the supports 2 and 2 (the center of the upper edge of the supports 2 and 2), a part of the rod-like object is placed outside (in a direction away from the opposing support 2) The relief portion 3 is formed by being bent in the direction shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the relief portion 3 has an arc shape that bulges outward toward the center.

The leg 5 is attached to the support 2, 2 in a manner extending obliquely downward from the lower edge of the support 2, 2. The leg 5 has a long leg 5 A and a short leg 5 B. Two types are available. The lower end of the leg 5 is fixed to a base surface such as the ground using an anchor bolt, and the leg 5 is fixed in an upright state on the base surface, so that the supports 2 and 2 are fixed. Has a shape in which the longitudinal direction is slightly inclined from the horizontal plane.

The bicycle parking device according to the present embodiment has the above-described configuration, and the usage thereof will be described next.

When the bicycle is parked, the front wheel of the bicycle, for example, is dropped between the supports 2 and 2. Then, a part (lower part) of the front wheel is accommodated between the supports 2 and 2, and the pair of locking members 4 and 4 abut on the outer peripheral edge (tire) of the wheel, so that the wheel is supported at two points. It will look good.

At this time, the two upper edges of the supports 2 and 2 are located in both directions of the wheels, and receiving this contact prevents the bicycle from tipping over. In addition, the wheel is measured and held at two positions in the front-rear direction by the ends 2a, 2a of the supports 2, 2, so that the handle cannot rotate.

By providing the relief portions 3 and 3 on the supports 2 and 2, the bicycle can be tilted in the left-right direction within a predetermined angle range as shown in FIG. Therefore, if the bicycles on both sides are tilted away from each other in a bicycle parking area where a plurality of bicycle parking devices are installed side by side, the space in the bicycle parking devices between them will be extremely large, and the bicycle will not interfere with the bicycles on both sides. Not only can you easily put your bicycle in and out, but you can also pull your next bicycle off your bicycle, especially if your bicycle (especially the handlebars) is out of your bicycle. .

It should be noted that the bicycle parking device according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

That is, in the bicycle parking device according to the present invention, not only the front wheel of the bicycle but also the rear wheel of the bicycle may be dropped between the support plates 2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, if the bicycle parking devices 1A and 1B having different lengths of the feet are alternately arranged side by side and the height positions of the wheels of the bicycle are alternately changed, the adjacent bicycle parking devices 1A and 1B may be arranged alternately. The removal of the bicycle is made easier because the bicycle is not caught. In such a case, the distance L between the bicycle parking devices is preferably set to about 400 mm. However, a plurality of bicycle parking devices having the same foot length may be arranged in parallel.

Further, the supports 2 and 2 may be directly attached to the base surface without providing the legs 5. In this case, the base surface includes, in addition to the ground, a wall surface, a frame of a three-dimensional bicycle parking lot, and the like. That is, the present invention includes all bicycle parking devices provided with the supports 2 and 2.

Further, the wheels may be movable to some extent in the front-rear direction between the supports 2 and 2 without providing the locking members 4 and 4 of the above embodiment.

Further, in the above embodiment, the interval P between the ends 2a of the supports 2, 2 is set to about 57 mm, but in order to correspond to different tire sizes of the bicycle, it is set to about 50 to 50 mm. What is necessary is just to set to 70 mm. Here, about 50 to 70 mm is a dimension for preventing the handle of the bicycle from rotating more than necessary. Therefore, it is obvious that the end portions 2a and 2a are not intended to completely abut the wheels to completely suppress the rotation of the steering wheel.

The supports 2 and 2 are not limited to those formed from rods as in the above embodiment. For example, it may be formed from a box-like material or a columnar material having a U-shaped cross section. In such a case, it is conceivable that the relief portion 3 is formed by cutting out a part or swelling partly outward.

Further, it is not essential that the supports 2 and 2 are mounted to be inclined with respect to the leg 5, and the supports 2 and 2 may be mounted so that the supports 2 and 2 are horizontal.

Further, the supports 2 and 2 do not need to be parallel to each other except for the relief portions 3 and 3. For example, if the supports 2 and 2 are arranged so as to expand slightly from one end to the other end, Wheels can be easily inserted. Alternatively, in order to facilitate the insertion of the wheel, only the end portion may be tapered and widened.

Further, the shape of the relief portion 3 of the support 2 made of a rod-shaped material is not limited to an arc shape, but may be a rectangular shape, a semicircular shape, an elliptical shape, a triangular shape, or the like.

The relief portion 3 may be formed not only on both the supports 2 and 2 but also on only one side. When the locking members 4 and 4 are not provided, it is not necessary to provide the pair of relief portions 3 and 3 at positions facing each other.

[0037]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, in the bicycle parking device according to the present invention, a relief portion is formed on a part of the pair of supports for dropping a part of the wheel to erect the bicycle to avoid interference with the spoke of the wheel, In a parking lot where a plurality of bicycle parking devices are arranged side by side, if the next bicycle is tilted in the direction away from it, interference with the next bicycle will not occur and the engagement with the next bicycle will be easily released. Therefore, the space between the bicycle parking devices can be narrowed to effectively use the bicycle parking area, and the bicycle can be easily taken in and out.
