Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to a case for transporting a bicycle. (Prior art) In order to carry their bicycles, athletes participating in triathlons and road races separate the wheels and handlebars from the bicycle frame and store them in a bicycle transport case. In order to protect the bicycle and make it compact for easy transportation, transportation cases are equipped with hooks and belts on the inside of the case to secure the wheels and handles. It is used to store items with the handles fixed. This case includes a bicycle transport case called a soft case made of thick synthetic fiber fabric or canvas fabric, and bicycles that may be damaged by the weight of other luggage when transported by plane or train. In order to prevent the occurrence of misalignment or dimensional deviations, trunk-shaped bicycle transport cases, called hard cases, are integrally formed from light metal plates and synthetic resins. The present invention relates to this hard case. (Problem that the invention aims to solve) When disassembling and storing a bicycle in a conventional bicycle transport case, the frame, wheels, and handles of the disassembled bicycle are fixed using hooks and belts provided on the inner side of the case. This poses problems in that it takes time and effort to fix the bicycle, and the hook may come off or the belt may come loose during transportation, causing damage to the bicycle or dimensional deviations. (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention forms a trunk-shaped bicycle transport case from a light metal plate or synthetic resin, and attaches a disassembled bicycle to the inner side of the bicycle transport case. A fixing device is formed to fit and fix the front wheel fork, rear wheel fork, front and rear wheels, etc. of the frame, and the front wheel fork, rear wheel fork, front and rear wheels, etc. of the frame are fitted to the fixing device to achieve a predetermined shape. The present invention provides a bicycle transport case that can be fixed using bolts and nuts. (Function) The fixtures formed on the inner side of the bicycle transport case are shaped and sized to correspond to the front and rear forks of the bicycle frame, and the front and rear wheels, respectively, so they can be fitted into the fixtures. Since the bicycle frame and front and rear wheels that are fixed together do not come loose or fall off, they work to prevent damage or dimensional deviations caused by transportation. (Example) Figures 1 to 4 show examples of the present invention. Figure 1 is a perspective view with the lid and main body open, and Figure 2 is a perspective view of the front wheel fork fitted to the front wheel fork stop. Figure 3 is an enlarged view of the main parts showing the state in which the rear wheel fork is fitted and fixed. Figure 4 is the state in which the bicycle is stored inside the lid and main body. FIG.
This will be explained below based on the drawings. A trunk-shaped bicycle transport case 3 is formed of a lid body 1 and a main body 2 made of a metal plate (such as a duralumin board), a synthetic resin alone, a fiber-reinforced resin, or other arbitrary material, and a lid of the bicycle transport case 3 is formed. body 1
A wheel stop 6 having a bolt hole 5 is integrally provided on the inner side surface of the top plate 4. Next, a wheel stop 6 having a bolt hole 5 on the inner side surface of the bottom plate 19 of the main body 2 is fitted, and a front wheel fork 8 of the bicycle frame A is fitted on the inner bottom surface of the frame plate 7, and a bolt hole 10 into which the bolt 9 is inserted is formed. The rear wheel fork 12 of the bicycle frame A is fitted into the front wheel fork stopper 11 having the frame plate 7 and the rear wheel fork 12 of the bicycle frame A.
A rear wheel fork stopper 15 having an elongated hole 14 into which the fork stopper 3 is inserted is provided. Next, arbitrary connecting bodies 20 and 20 are provided on the external sides of the lid 1 and the main body 2 so as to be openable and closable, casters 17 are provided on the external bottom surfaces of the lid 1 and the main body 2, and an optional handle 18 is provided on the upper outer surface of the main body 2. This is a case for transporting bicycles that is convenient to carry. (Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention has the above-described structure, when the bicycle is to be disassembled and carried, the bicycle is first disassembled into the frame A, the front wheel B, and the rear wheel C. Next, the bicycle transport case is attached to the connecting bodies 20 , 20
, the front wheel B is fitted into the wheel stop 6 of the lid 1, and the wheel stop bolt 21 is inserted into the bolt hole 5 and fixed. Next, fit the rear wheel C into the wheel stop 6 of the main body 2,
Insert and fix the wheel locking bolt 21 into the bolt hole 5 . Next, the front wheel fork 8 of the frame A is fitted into the front wheel fork stop 11, and the bolt 9 is inserted into the bolt hole 10 and fixed with the nut 9 . Next, the rear wheel fork 12 of the frame A is fitted into the rear wheel fork stopper 15, and the bolt 13 is inserted into the elongated hole 14 and fixed with the nut 13 . The fixing device is formed in a shape and size that corresponds to the front wheel fork, the rear wheel fork, and the front and rear wheels of the bicycle frame, so the bicycle frame and front and rear wheels that are fitted and fixed to the bicycle frame will not move during transportation. Since there is no movement, it is effective in preventing scratches and dimensional deviations. In addition, the bolt hole provided in the rear wheel fork stopper 15 is
Since the elongated hole 14 is formed into which the bolt 13 is inserted,
By moving the bolt 13 inserted into the elongated hole 14 up and down, the frame can be freely adjusted even in the case of a frame in which the distance between the front wheel fork and the rear wheel fork is different. In addition, since the lid and main body are provided with casters and a handle, it is easy to carry and transport. In addition, the bolts and nuts that fix the front wheel fork and the rear wheel fork are the bolts 9, nuts 9 , bolts 13, and nuts 13 used in the bicycle frame A, and need to be formed separately. Since there are no parts, it is economical and also effective in preventing loss of parts.
