Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an improvement of a motorcycle holding device in a bicycle parking facility, particularly for safely, simply and easily holding a motorcycle in an upright position.

(Prior art) The present applicant previously filed Utility Application No. 59-164476 (Patent Publication No. 78793 of 1983) dated October 29, 1981 (name of the invention: "Motorcycle holding device in bicycle parking facility") ) proposed a motorcycle holding device as shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 6, the motorcycle timekeeping device 1 is a groove-shaped front wheel guide in which an upward slope 2a, a downward slope 2b, and a horizontal path 2c are continuously bent along the approach direction (arrow X) of the motorcycle A. The tool 2 is fixedly installed on the parking platform 3, and the horizontal path 2
an inverted U-shaped front wheel pressing tool 4 which traverses above c and has the lower ends of both legs pivoted to the outer surface of the front wheel guide tool 2 or the parking platform 3 in a vertical plane along the approach direction;
It consists of the following. The front wheel pressing tool 4 is always biased rearward in the approach direction by the spring force of a tension spring 5 provided between the parking platform 3 and collides with a stopper 6 fixed to the parking platform 3, so that it stands up with a slight rearward inclination. maintained in the state.

When parking, the user inserts the front wheel A1 into the groove of the front wheel guide tool 2, pushes the motorcycle A up along the uphill slope 2a, and the front wheel A1 hits the front wheel pressing tool 4 when going down the downhill slope 2b. When the front wheel A1 reaches the frontmost position on the horizontal road 2c, the motorcycle A is pulled backwards and the stand A is swung forward against the tension spring 5.
Make 3. In this way, motorcycle A stands on stand A.
3 prevents the front wheel A1 from retreating and prevents it from falling in the lateral direction, and the front wheel A1 is pressed downward by the front wheel pressing device 4 with the spring force of the tension spring 5.
2 is held fixed depending on the floating level.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Generally, the center of gravity of motorcycle A is located near stand A3, and when stand A3 is set up, rear wheel A2 touches the ground, and front wheel A1 floats. Therefore, the motorcycle holding device 1 described above employs a method of pushing down the front wheel A1 in the opposite direction to the direction in which the center of gravity is applied, and also holds the gasoline tank A5 at the bottom of the saddle A4, which is located above the middle between the rear wheel A2 and the stand A3, to be full. , and assuming that the cargo W is placed on the cargo platform A6 above the rear wheel A2, the spring force of the tension spring 5 is increased,
Alternatively, the "mountain" formed by the uphill slope 2a and the downhill slope 2b must be made higher, which makes it difficult to take the motorcycle A in and out.
In addition, there is a considerable difference in the wheel diameter between large and small motorcycles, and if the diameter of the front wheel A1 is too small, the front wheel pressing tool 4 will hit the upper cover A1a of the front wheel A1, and if the diameter of the front wheel A1 is too large, , the front wheel pressing tool 4 hits the lower part of the front end of the front wheel A1, and the front wheel A1
There can be no action that forces the

(Means for Solving Problems) The motorcycle holding device of the present invention has a groove-shaped front wheel guide installed in front of the parking platform in the motorcycle entry direction so as to be swingable in a vertical plane along the entry direction using the intermediate part as a fulcrum. , motorcycle tipping prevention members are installed on the left and right sides of the front wheel guide, and the front wheel guide is always held at the rear end by a spring force of an elastic means provided between the motorcycle tipping prevention member or the parking platform. When the motorcycle is parked on the stand with the edge biased against the parking platform and the front wheel fitted into the front groove of the front wheel guide, both the front and rear edges of the front wheel guide The vehicle is characterized in that the front wheels are biased upward by the spring force of the resilient means when the vehicle is floating above the parking platform.

(Function) When parking, the user pushes forward along the front wheel guide, and when the front wheel crosses the fulcrum, the front wheel guide resists the spring force of the elastic means due to the weight of the front wheels, etc., and slowly slopes forward downward. It oscillates in a shape. When the front wheel reaches the frontmost part of the groove in the front wheel guide, raise the stand while pulling the motorcycle backwards. When the motorcycle is pulled rearward, the stand is raised with a light force due to the added force of the spring.
Moreover, once the stand is raised, the weight of the front wheels becomes lighter, so the front side of the front wheel guide will rise slightly.
The spring force urges the front wheels upward. Therefore, even if the parking platform shakes a little, the motorcycle maintains its rear wheel in contact with the top surface of the parking platform and is securely held fixed.

(Example) Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given based on an example shown in the drawings. For convenience of explanation, the right/left of Figures 1, 3, 4, and 5 and the 2nd
Arrows X1 and X2 in the figure are called "front" and "back".

Reference numeral 10 denotes a vertical circulation bicycle parking facility that employs the device of the present invention, and includes an upper sprocket (not shown) and a lower sprocket 1 arranged above and below in a building 11.
An endless chain 13 is stretched between the two, and a large number of attachment plates 14 attached to the endless chain 13 at appropriately equal pitches are provided with appropriate friction at the tips of each attachment plate 14 to suppress back and forth shaking as much as possible. is pivotally suspended, and the 15 groups of parking cages are circulated and moved by a drive source connected to the upper sprocket.
The motorcycle A is entered and exited through an above-ground entrance 11a provided on the rear wall of the lower part of the building 11.

The parking cage 15 has a horizontal parking platform 16 that is elongated in the left and right direction, and of the four upper side edges of the parking platform 16, only the rear part is open for the entry and exit of the motorcycle A, and the front and left and right sides are fixed fences. It is surrounded by 17. Further, toward the front of the center of the parking stand 16, motorcycle holding devices 18 having the following configuration are arranged side by side at equal intervals on the left and right sides.

That is, the motorcycle holding device 18 includes a front wheel guide 19, a motorcycle tipping prevention member 20, and an elastic means 2 for resiliently urging the front wheel guide 19.
1 constitutes one set. Among these, the front wheel guide 19 includes a flat plate 22 and a front left side of the flat plate 22.
A pair of side plates 23 are provided vertically on the lower surface of the right end, and a groove-shaped guide member having a substantially V-shaped cross section, a slightly flattened bottom surface in the groove, and a rear portion fitted and fixed within a frame formed by the flat plate 22 and the side plate 23. 24, and a front wheel entry stopper 25 made of a bar fixed to the front end of the groove-shaped guide member 24.The front wheel guide 19 as a whole extends along the entry direction of the motorcycle A (arrow

Further, the motorcycle tipping prevention members 20 are disposed on both left and right sides of the front wheel guide 19, and each motorcycle tipping prevention member 20 is made of a single bar with a curved shape, and the front and rear legs 20a, 20b are The groove-shaped guide member 24 is fixed on the parking platform 16 on the side thereof, and the front and rear legs 20a and 20b extend vertically upward, and extend rearward from the middle, and form a curved portion 20c approximately above the rear end side of the flat plate 22. are merging to form a

Further, the resilient means 21 includes a bar 21a fixed to the bottom surface of the intermediate portion of the groove-shaped guide member 24 in a transverse direction, and one end of each bar 21a is engaged with the left and right protruding ends of the bar 21a. Two left and right tension springs 21 whose other ends are attached to the upper horizontal portion of the front leg portion 20a
b, and the spring force of the tension spring 21b constantly urges the groove-shaped guide member 24 side in the direction of pulling up, and maintains the state in which the rear end edge 22b of the flat plate 22 is in contact with the parking platform 16.

Reference numeral 27 denotes a rubber stopper protruding from the top of the parking platform 16, and when the front wheel guide 19 swings forward and downwardly, the lower surface of the front end of the groove-shaped guide member 24 hits the rubber stopper 2.
It is arranged so that it collides with 7.

Next, the effect will be explained.

In the bicycle parking facility 10, it is assumed that the parking platform 16 of one parking cage 15 is stopped flush with the ground floor F of the entrance 11a. Users park in parking lot 1
6 with motorcycle A, and push the front wheel A1 up along the uphill flat plate 22 (3rd
figure).

The front wheel A1 passes over the flat plate 22 and reaches the groove-shaped guide member 24.
When the front wheel guide 19 falls into the groove of the front wheel A1
etc., the front wheel A1 swings slowly in the clockwise direction in FIG.
By the time the groove-shaped guide member 24 collides with and stops, the lower surface of the front end of the groove-shaped guide member 24 collides with the rubber stopper 27, and the groove-shaped guide member 24 is slightly inclined forwardly downward (FIG. 4).

Next, the user stands the stand A3 on the parking platform 16 and moves the entire motorcycle A backward (second
Raise stand A3 while pulling it in the direction of arrow X2) (Figure 5). At this time, the front wheel A1 is also connected to the groove-shaped guide member 24.
By the time the front wheel A1 collides with the front edge 22a of the flat plate 22, the stand A3 has risen, the center of gravity of the motorcycle A has completely shifted to the rear wheel A2 side, and the front wheel A1 has become lighter. Therefore, the front wheel guide 19 swings in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 5 due to the spring force of the tension spring 21b, and the lower surface of the front end of the groove-shaped guide member 24 separates upward from the rubber stopper 27, causing the rear end edge of the flat plate 22 to move upwardly. 22b lifts up the front wheel A1 in a state where it is lifted from the parking platform 16 (FIG. 5).

In this way, when the motorcycle A is parked with the stand A3 erected, even if the parking platform 16 shakes up and down, left and right, and front and back, the front wheel A1 is prevented from lateral vibration by the groove-shaped guide member 24, and the entire motorcycle A is prevented from falling. The stoppage is prevented by the left and right motorcycle tipping prevention members 20, and the front and rear wheels A1 and A2 are stopped by the front wheel A1.
is prevented by being urged upward by the front wheel guide 19 and the resilient means 21.

Of course, the motorcycle A is held by the motorcycle holding device 18.
The operation to take out the car is completely opposite to the parking procedure described above. That is, by lifting the rear wheel A2 and moving the motorcycle A forward, the stand A3 is brought down, and then the motorcycle A is moved backward. At this time, since the motorcycle A receives the spring force of the tension spring 21b, the front end edge of the flat plate 22 is moved with a light force.
You can run over 2a. and front wheel A1
As the front wheel guide 19 moves backward on the flat plate 22 from the point where it rests on the flat plate 22, the front wheel guide 19 is moved by the tension spring 21.
While receiving the force of the spring b, the vehicle swings backward and downward, the rear end edge 22b of the flat plate 22 collides with the parking platform 16, and the front wheels A1 move down on the flat plate 22 that is tilted backward downward.

In addition to the above-described embodiments, the present invention can also be modified as described below.

() Although the tension spring 21b used as the springing means 21 was stretched between the groove-shaped guide member 24 and the motorcycle tipping prevention member 20, it could also be stretched between the flat plate 22 and the parking platform 16. good. Further, other resilient means such as a compression spring or a torsion spring can be used as the resilient means.

() In order to prevent the front wheel A1 from coming off the wheel when going up and down on the flat plate 22, side plates SP may be fixed along the left and right edges of the flat plate 22, as shown by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 2. .

() The front wheel guide is a combination of the flat plate 22 and the groove-shaped guide member 24, but the groove-shaped guide is formed over the entire length, and the groove-shaped guide has a chevron-shaped bottom surface in the vicinity of the swinging fulcrum of the groove-shaped guide. A front wheel backward stopper may be permanently installed.

() If the parking platform 16 shakes or vibrates to the extent that it shakes the stand A3, use the stand movement restrictor MS formed by combining bars into a ladder shape as shown by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 2. Fixedly installed on the parking platform 16, the rectangular hole of the movement restriction device MS
The stand A3 may be set up on one of the MS'.

() The rear edge 22b of the flat plate 22 is connected to the parking platform 16.
A rubber material may be attached to the rear end edge 22b in order to soften the impact sound when it collides with the rear end edge 22b.

() Although the device of the present invention has been adopted for a circulating parking type parking facility, it is also effective as a countermeasure against strong winds even if it is adopted for a surface parking type parking facility.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, the motorcycle holding device according to the invention is such that the front wheel guide is attached to the parking stand so as to be swingable in a vertical plane along the direction in which the motorcycle enters, and the elastic means is used to constantly hold the front wheel. Since the rear end of the guide is kept in contact with the parking platform, it is easy to get the front wheel into and out of the front wheel guide, and it also prevents the front wheel from getting stuck in the groove of the front wheel guide when parked with the stand up. The front wheels are urged upward by the spring force and the rear wheels are pressed against the parking lot at all times, so even if the parking lot shakes, the front and rear wheels dance away from the parking lot or the front wheel guide. There is no fear, and when the front wheel is taken out from the front wheel guide, the spring force of the spring force is applied to allow the front wheel to move backwards and detaches with a light force.The simple and inexpensive structure does not impair the parking operability of the motorcycle. It is something that can ensure safety.
