Description

  The present invention relates to a bicycle parking apparatus for bicycles and motorcycles that are used near the ground.

  Conventionally, bicycle parking devices such as bicycles have a structure including a frame and a rail having a groove into which a wheel enters (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

In addition, other bicycle parking devices are proposed in which half-ring-shaped partition pipes are arranged and the front wheel of the bicycle is sandwiched between the partition pipes (Patent Document 3), or both ends of a spiral guide are embedded in the column. (Patent Document 4).

  In the former case (Patent Documents 1 and 2), it is difficult to handle when one bicycle corresponds to one frame or rail and the wheel thickness is different, and the structure is complicated, and many There was a problem occupying the installation area.

  In the latter case, in the case of a new installation, Patent Document 3 requires that both ends be fixed to a separately manufactured support and that the support be embedded in the ground, or that both ends be embedded in the wall. There was a problem that construction was complicated. Further, when installing later, in the case of a ground or wall such as concrete or brick, there is a problem that it is necessary to make a hole in the concrete and the construction becomes complicated. In addition, when the bicycle is held, there is no member for fixing the wheel, and there is a problem that the bicycle is not restricted in and out. Further, since the spiral is floating from the ground and the wheels are held largely obliquely, there is a problem that the holding stability is lacking.

  In the latter case, in the bicycle parking device of Patent Document 4, a necessary number of semicircular half rings must be manufactured and each half ring must be fixed to the base by means such as welding. However, there is a problem that the manufacturing becomes complicated. Also, since the half rings are arranged in parallel along the length direction of the base, many bicycles cannot be parked

  However, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems because the bicycle parking device is configured by placing the spiral base material on the ground and forming a projection on the ground contact portion on the inner periphery of the spiral base material.

That is, this invention is a bicycle parking apparatus characterized by having the following requirements.
(1) A spiral base material that can be placed directly on the ground or fixed on a base placed on the ground is placed with its axis horizontal.
(2) The spiral base material forms a pitch into which a parking wheel can be inserted.
(3) On the inner periphery of the spiral base material, a convex protrusion is continuously provided on the ground contact portion with the ground.

Another invention is a bicycle parking apparatus having the following requirements.
(1) The spiral base material with the shaft arranged horizontally was placed directly on the ground or fixed on the base placed on the ground.
(2) In the spiral base material, at least one other spiral base material with substantially the same pitch and the same diameter is arranged in parallel and overlapped between the pitches in the circumference of one spiral base material.
(3) On the inner periphery of the spiral base material, a convex protrusion is continuously provided on the ground contact portion with the ground.

  Further, in each of the above-described inventions, the bicycle parking apparatus is configured such that an arc-shaped protrusion is disposed so as to protrude upward along the inner periphery of the spiral base material, and both ends of the arc-shaped protrusion are fixed to the spiral base material.

  The term “ground” in the above includes artificially finished surfaces such as concrete surfaces in addition to so-called natural ground such as soil and rocks, and the positions of floors such as basements and second floors other than the so-called ground. Including. Further, the ground includes a slightly inclined surface other than the case where it is horizontal.

  This bicycle parking apparatus is mainly used to hold the front wheel of the bicycle and park the bicycle, but can also be applied to other two-wheeled vehicles, unicycles, and the like.

  In addition, the “grounding portion” in the above includes a portion that is actually grounded and a portion in the vicinity thereof.

  Since the present invention can be configured simply by projecting a protrusion on a spiral base material and placing it on the ground as it is or fixing it to the base, it is extremely easy to manufacture. Further, since the construction can be completed simply by placing and fixing the spiral base material or the base plate on the ground, there is an effect that the construction can be made extremely easy.

  Also, if a bicycle front wheel or the like is inserted between arbitrary pitches of the spiral base material, the movement is restricted by the spiral base material on both sides of the front wheel and the front wheel can be held, so that the bicycle can be parked extremely easily. In addition, since a bicycle can be inserted from both sides of the spiral base material and obliquely with respect to the axial direction of the spiral base material (the length direction of the base plate), the position of the handle is shifted in a bicycle parked adjacently, so there is little It has the effect of parking many bicycles in the space.

  In addition, since a protrusion is formed near the ground on the inner periphery of the spiral base material, a groove is formed between the protrusion and the inner periphery of the spiral base material near the ground, and the wheel is guided in this groove. It can prevent that the wheel put in the substrate slips. Further, when the wheel is displaced and the wheel is on a position slightly above the ground surface on the inner periphery of the spiral base material, the wheel slides down the inner periphery of the spiral base material and is formed by the protrusion. The wheel is held in the groove regardless of the insertion position of the wheel.

  Therefore, regardless of the diameter of the spiral and the diameter of the bicycle wheel that parks the bicycle, just by inserting the front wheel of the bicycle between the pitches of the spiral base material, the inserted wheel is securely held without slipping, and There is an effect that the bicycle can be easily taken out from the bicycle parking device.

  In addition, when the arc-shaped protrusion is used, since the protrusion is disposed on the inner surface of the spiral base material, there is an effect that the rigidity of the spiral base material can be increased.

(1) In the present invention, two spiral base materials 10 and 15 having the same diameter D ₀ and the same pitch P _{0 in which} the shafts 13 and 18 are horizontally arranged are overlapped with each other so that the shafts 13 and 18 coincide with each other. The double-spiral spiral base materials 10 and 15 are fixed to the base plate 1. On the inner circumferences 10 a and 15 a of the spiral base materials 10 and 15, an upwardly protruding protrusion 20 is connected to the ground contact portion with the base plate 1. The protrusions 20 are arranged so that the protrusions 20 made of arcs having the same diameter D _{0 as} the spiral base materials 10 and 15 are projected upward along the inner circumferences 10 a and 15 a of the spiral base materials 10 and 15. Both ends 21 and 21 are fixed to the spiral base materials 10 and 15 respectively to constitute the bicycle parking device 30 (FIGS. 1 and 2). In this case, the protrusions 20 are arranged along the inner circumferences 10a and 15a of the spiral base materials 10 and 15 so as not to protrude from the spiral base materials 10 and 15 (on the inner circumferences 10a and 15a side of the spiral base materials 10 and 15). (Positioned so that it can be accommodated in).

(2) Since the guide grooves 23 and 23 can be formed between the edges 21 and 21 on both sides of the protrusion 20 and the inner peripheries 10a and 15a of the spiral base materials 10 and 15, the pitch of the spiral base materials 10 and 15 (P _0/2) at an arbitrary position between the case of inserting the front wheel 41 of the bicycle 40, the inner periphery 10a of the spiral substrate 10, 15, front wheels 41 along 15a slides down, fit into the guide grooves 23, 23, It is held in place (FIG. 3). At this time, the front wheel 41 straddles the vicinity of the ground contact portion of the two spiral base materials 10 and 15, but the guide grooves 23 and 23 are formed on both the front and back spiral base materials 10 and 15. Therefore, the front wheel 41 is stably held.

(3) Accordingly, since the guide groove 23 and 23 need only be formed between the protrusion 20 and the inner periphery 10a (15a) of the spiral base material 10 (15), the shape is not limited to the circular ring (see FIG. 9).

  For example, a “He” -shaped ring (FIG. 9A), a triangular solid block or plate (FIG. 9B), a rectangular plate or block (FIG. 9C), two halves A circular plate or hemispherical block (FIG. 9 (d)), two rectangular plates or a rectangular parallelepiped block (FIG. 9 (e)), and two tubes (FIG. 9 (f) fitted to the spiral base material 10). It is also possible to form guide grooves 23 and 23 between the inner surface 10a of the spiral base material 10 by forming the shape as in f)).
