Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a bicycle parking device, and more specifically, to a bicycle parking device that can park a large number of bicycles in a limited space.

[Prior Art] A two-story parking lot is known as a means for parking a large number of bicycles in a limited space.

In such parking lots, bicycles can be pushed up to the second floor through a ramp and then parked in the parking space provided on the second floor, which has the advantage of being easy to park, no different from parking on the first floor. .

However, because the ceiling height on the first floor needs to be raised and a slope installed, the number of bicycles that can be accommodated in the limited space is reduced, and the overall strength of the parking lot needs to be strengthened, which increases costs. There is a problem.

In order to eliminate such drawbacks, the first parking space above the ground is set up with a self-supporting support in this space.
There is a second parking space on this support, and this space structure itself serves as a slope for pushing the bicycle up to the second parking space.
The one described in Publication No. 31141 is well known.

The device shown in the above publication is provided with a support member that constitutes an upper parking space and a lower parking space above and below, and is arranged in an inclined manner between this support member and the lower parking space, and the upper surface of This multi-level parking device for bicycles is equipped with a guide mechanism that moves and guides a parking member that holds the bicycle in a vertical position between the inclined position and the horizontal position on the support member.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the multi-story parking device described in the above-mentioned publication, a similar mechanism adjacent to the parking member is used to push up the bicycle from the lower parking space to the upper parking space or lower it from the upper parking space. A space is required for people to work between the bicycle and the bicycle, and it is difficult for the bicycle owner to do the lifting and lowering by himself, so only a limited number of people can use the upper parking space. There is a problem with this.

The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a bicycle parking device that can park more bicycles in a limited space.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The purpose of this invention described above is to provide a plurality of rail members supported in parallel at intervals at least in a space slightly higher than the total length of the bicycle, each having a support; A support rail having both ends attached to a pair of movable mechanisms attached to be movable relative to the member, and a suspension rope attached so that a predetermined slack can be generated between the both ends of the support rail due to the weight of the bicycle. and,
A pulley that engages with the collar of the support rail forming a rip groove shape is attached to an opposite side of the elastic plate via a mounting bracket, and a first hook body that engages with the suspension rope is attached to one side of the elastic plate. A second bending prevention rod having a length such that both ends abut against the mounting bracket is hung on the other side of the bicycle.
The bicycle hanging mechanism is configured such that the first hook body and an operating rod are attached to rotate the bending prevention rod, which is rotatably attached to the connecting portion of both the hook bodies. It is achieved by doing.

[Function] The bicycle parking device of this invention hangs and supports the front wheel of a bicycle to be parked on the second hook of a bicycle suspension mechanism provided on a support rail that moves in the length direction of parallel rail members. Once a predetermined number of bicycles have been suspended from one support rail, the bicycles are parked in sequence by moving the support rail to one side of the rail member.

To lower a parked bicycle, widen the distance between the rail members by a certain distance and slide the bicycle suspension mechanism on both sides of the bicycle along the support rail to ensure that the handlebars and pedals are on both sides or on one side. Avoid contact with other bicycles.

After that, when the operating rod is turned, both ends of the bending prevention rod come into contact with the mounting brackets attached to both ends of the elastic plate, and the elastic plate that is prevented from curving is bent, and the bicycle hanging mechanism is detached from the support rail. Since the first hook is hung on the suspension rope, the bicycle is lowered by the amount of slack in the suspension rope, making it easier to remove the front wheel from the second hook.

After lowering the bicycle, return the bicycle hanging mechanism to the support rail, turn the operating rod again, and bring both ends of the bending prevention rod into contact with the mounting brackets to return to the original state and make it possible to park the next bicycle. Become.

[Example] The bicycle parking device of this invention is shown in Figs.
As shown in the figure, rail members 2 are supported in parallel with support columns 1 at intervals slightly higher than the entire length of the bicycle. A shingle 12 is attached and constructed to firmly maintain said spacing.

The rail member 2 is made of I-shaped steel, as shown in FIG. The movable mechanism 3 has four pulleys 33 having a diameter that can be arranged between the upper and lower flanges 22 and 23 on the upper and lower sides of the vertical plate 21 of 2.
are arranged in large numbers on the rail member 2.

Support rails 4 made of lip groove steel are fixed to the movable mechanisms 3 of each pair of rail members 2 arranged in parallel, and supported along the rail members 2 via the movable mechanisms 3. The rail 4 is configured to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the rail member 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, on this support rail 4, a mounting bracket 43 is fixed to one side plate 42 of the shaped steel material 41 at one end side of the shaped steel material 41, and the above-mentioned A spring 5 whose one end is attached to a mounting pin 45 protruding from the outside of the side plate 42
One end of a rope 52 made of metal, natural fiber or chemical fiber is attached to the other end of the rope 5.
2, the space between the side plates 42 is transferred to the other end of the support rail 4, and although it is not shown, it is fixed to a pin attached to the other end of the support rail 4 and a load is applied, thereby causing a certain amount of slack. The obtained suspension rope 5 is stretched.

The bicycle hanging mechanism 6 for directly hanging the bicycle is made of a rectangular thin steel plate or the like whose width is slightly narrower than the distance between the inner surfaces of the side plates 42 of the support rail 4, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b. One side of the angled mounting bracket 62 is fixed to the long side of the elastic plate 61 that has been bent.

Then, a pulley 63 is attached in a cantilevered manner with a shaft 64 near the end on the outside of the other side of this mounting bracket 62.
A sleeve 65 is inserted into a hole 611 made in the center of the elastic plate 61, and a bending prevention rod 66 whose overall length is slightly shorter than the width of the elastic plate 61 is provided on one side of the elastic plate 61 of the sleeve 65. An operating rod 67 is fixed to the surface side, and a first hook body 68 is attached to the end of a second hook body 69 inserted into the sleeve 65.

As shown in FIG. 3a, this bicycle hanging mechanism 6 is constructed by rotating the sleeve 65 with an operating rod 67, so that the bending prevention rod 66 is connected to the elastic plate 61.
When the elastic plate 61 faces in the narrow direction, the mounting bracket 62 comes into contact with the end of the bending prevention rod 66 and is prevented from curving, and as shown in FIG. When oriented, the flexible elastic plate 61 can eliminate resistance to the bending force.

This bicycle hanging mechanism 6 is arranged in large numbers on the above-mentioned support rail 4, and a pulley 63 is mounted on a fourth flange 46 facing inward of the side plate 42 of the support rail 4.
As shown in FIG. 5, the first hook body 68 is hung on the hanging rope 5 and is movable along the support rail 4.

This bicycle parking device is constructed as described above, and the case where this device is used to park a bicycle and unload a parked bicycle will be described below.

The bicycle 7 to be parked is placed upright as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 with the front wheel 71 side facing up, and then lifted and hung on the second hook body 69 of the bicycle hanging mechanism 6. As shown in the figure, the bicycle hanging mechanism 6 is moved to one end side of the support rail 4 and parked in sequence, leaving at least enough extra length to allow a gap for unloading one of the many parked bicycles. , similarly park it on the next support rail 4.

Thereafter, the vehicle is parked in the same manner, and the support rail 4 is moved to one end side of the rail member 2 using the movable mechanism 3, so as to be packed to one side.

A large number of support rails 4 are disposed on this rail member 2 via a movable mechanism 3, but when the bicycle 7 is suspended from one end of the rail member 2 and the bicycle 7 is placed on one side, the other end A large number of these rails are arranged so that the extra length is longer than the gap between the support rails that are packed to one side.

In order to unload the parked bicycle 7 suspended from the support rail 4 via the bicycle suspension mechanism 6, the bending prevention rod 66 in the state shown in FIG. As shown in the figure
When rotated by 90 degrees, the elastic plate 61 cannot fully resist the load and curves downward, the pulley 63 faces upward as shown by the arrow, and the pulley interval is removed from the collar 46.

In this case, since the first hook body 68 is hung on the sling 5, the bicycle 7 is moved by the amount of slack in the sling 5 as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 11, the front wheel 71 can be easily removed from the second hook body 69 in order to descend.

In addition, when unloading this bicycle, the support rail 4 on which the bicycle to be unloaded is suspended is moved along the rail member 2 via the movable mechanism 3 so that a space is created between it and the support rails located in front and behind it for easy unloading. The bicycles 7 hanging left and right can be moved by moving the bicycle hanging mechanism 6 along the support rails 4 to obtain the necessary space.
