Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to an improvement of a bicycle parking device for two-wheeled vehicles such as bicycles.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in parking lots for two-wheeled vehicles, two-wheeled vehicles are often arbitrarily lined up on the premises, but in recent years, bicycles in particular have become a necessity in daily life, and their popularity has been remarkable. However, even if you use a bicycle, there is little storage capacity in the bicycle parking lot where you park it.
Therefore, they were placed on the side of the road or under someone else's eaves.

As a solution to this problem, various storage devices are currently being developed.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, in the conventional bicycle parking means described above, two-wheeled vehicles are parked indiscriminately, making it difficult to take them in and out, causing traffic obstructions and degrading the aesthetic appearance.

For this reason, storage devices have been developed to store a large number of two-wheeled vehicles in a small space, but none of them have two-wheeled vehicles.
When storing a two-wheeled vehicle, the front or rear wheel of the two-wheeled vehicle was lifted and inserted into the wheel holder. Furthermore, after the wheel was inserted, a holding device was operated to hold the wheel in place. In addition, when taking out the two-wheeled vehicle, the above-mentioned operation was performed in reverse.

Therefore, there were problems in that the work of storing and taking out two-wheeled vehicles was complicated and time-consuming, and the equipment became complicated and expensive.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a bicycle parking device that allows two-wheeled vehicles to be easily stored and taken out, and that can stably hold the wheels with a simple structure, in order to improve the above-mentioned problems.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above object, this invention provides a long hole in a part of the bottom of the bicycle parking frame, and the bicycle parking A wheel holder provided on the top surface of the frame is provided with a groove for receiving the tire of a two-wheeled vehicle, and this bicycle parking holder is provided so as to be tiltable along the tire, and when the two-wheeled vehicle is parked, the bicycle parking holder is 1
or a portion of the tire is configured to engage within the elongated hole.

(Function) With the above configuration, when a tire of a two-wheeled vehicle is put into the groove provided in the wheel holder, the wheel holder is tilted along the tire due to the weight of the tire. and,
Since one part of the tire or one part of the wheel holder engages with the long hole, the tire is automatically supported by the wheel holder in a state where its fall is regulated, and the two-wheeled vehicle is parked. Alternatively, it can be easily taken out.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of this invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

In order to facilitate understanding, first, the overall structure of the two-wheeled vehicle storage device will be briefly described.

Referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, storage device 1
