CONSTITUTION: In bicycle parking equipment consisting of two parallel rails 1, 1 and a long bicycle mounting frame 3, which is received on the rails 1, 1 perpendicularly to the longitudinal directions of the rails 1, 1 and moves on the rails 1, 1, the bicycle mounting frame 3 is provided with a tumble preventing means 6 clamping a front wheel 5a of a mounted bicycle 5 from both sides, so that the bicycle 5 is transferred in order to the end parts of the rails 1, 1 while being stood on the frame 3, and consequently, the bicycle can be stored in a line arrangement.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bicycle parking facility for storing bicycles in an aligned state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Bicycle parking lots that have been generally known from the past have been designed such that bicycles are simply arranged side by side in a standing state, and the bicycles are taken out from between the arranged bicycles. At the moment, the handlebars, baskets, pedals, etc. hit or get caught on the next bicycle, making it difficult to remove.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve such a problem, and allows a bicycle to be stored in an aligned state, and a bicycle parking facility that can easily store and take out the bicycle can be simply constructed and can be manufactured at a low cost. It is intended to be available at.

[0004]

In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a rail and a length that is received on the rail and moves on the rail so as to face in a direction orthogonal to the length direction of the rail. It consists of a frame for bicycle mounting,
The gist of the present invention is that the frame is provided with a fall-prevention means for sandwiching the front wheel of the bicycle placed on both sides.

[0005]

With this configuration, the bicycle can be stored in an aligned state by placing the bicycle on the frame that moves on the rail in an upright state and moving the bicycle in order to the end of the rail.
The bicycle can be easily stored and taken out.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4, reference numerals 1 and 1 denote two mutually parallel rails, and each rail 1 has a large number of rollers 2 rotatably supported around a horizontal axis at equal intervals in the length direction. Is provided. Reference numeral 3 denotes a bicycle mounting frame that is received on the roller 2 so as to face in a direction orthogonal to the lengthwise direction of the two rails 1 and 1, and includes a long horizontal plate portion 3a and this horizontal plate. Side plate portions 3b, 3b erected on both sides of the portion 3a along the length direction, and the lower surface of the horizontal plate portion 3a at a position on the roller 2 is orthogonal to the length direction of the horizontal plate portion 3a. A distance holding plate 4 fixed by welding or the like so as to horizontally project in a direction,
In order to prevent the bicycle 5 placed on the horizontal plate portion 3a from falling down, a metal rod is bent so as to sandwich the front wheel 5a of the bicycle 5 from both sides and fixed to the outer surfaces of the side plate portions 3b and 3b by welding or the like. Falling prevention means 6 and the horizontal plate portion 3a
It is provided with a stopper 7 mounted on the horizontal plate portion 3a in order to determine the mounting position of the bicycle 5 in the above. The space holding plates 4 project on both sides of the frame 3 to prevent the frame 3 and the bicycle 5 mounted on the frame 3 from falling.
Further, when the frames 3 on which the bicycles 5 are placed are brought close to each other, the ends of the spacing plates 4 of the adjacent frames 3 come into contact with each other to prevent the adjacent bicycles 5 from coming into contact with each other. Further, the stoppers 7 are provided on the horizontal plate portions 3a of the respective frames 3 in such a manner that their positions are alternately shifted. Specifically, the stopper 7 located at the front end of the horizontal plate portion 3a of the frame 3 and the stopper 7 located behind the front end of the horizontal plate portion 3a of the frame 3 by about half the outer diameter of the front wheel 5a are alternately arranged. It is provided so that the adjacent bicycles 5 do not hit each other when the frames 3 carrying the bicycles 5 are brought close to each other.

By the way, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, six frames 3 are provided on a pair of rails 1 and 1 which are parallel to each other, and each frame 3 slides on the upper ends of the rails 1 and 1. Equipped with engaging pieces 8 which are freely engaged with each other, the frame 3 is prevented from coming off from the rails 1 and 1 and theft is prevented. Further, each frame 3 is provided with a handle 9 for moving on the rails 1, 1 near the rear end.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. When stopping the bicycle 5 in the bicycle parking facility with the above configuration,
The bicycle 5 is placed in order from the frame 3 located at the ends of the pair of rails 1 and 1 which are parallel to each other, and the bicycle 5 is moved to the ends of the rails 1 and 1 to be collected. Each frame 3 is provided with falling prevention means 6 for sandwiching the front wheel 5a of the bicycle 5 from both sides to support the bicycle 5, and the front wheel 5a is positioned by contacting a stopper 7. As described above, the stoppers 7 are provided on the horizontal plate portions 3a of each frame 3 in a state in which the positions are alternately shifted,
When the frames 3 on which the bicycles 5 are placed are brought close to each other, the adjacent bicycles 5 do not hit each other. Also,
As described above, when the frames 3 on which the bicycles 5 are placed are brought close to each other, the ends of the spacing plates 4 of the adjacent frames 3 come into contact with each other to prevent the adjacent bicycles 5 from coming into contact with each other. . Specifically, the length of the space holding plate 4 is set in advance so that the bicycles 4 and 4 adjacent to each other do not come into contact with each other.

When taking out one bicycle 5 from the bicycle parking facility, the frame 3 is arranged so that the next bicycle 5 does not hit it.
The bicycle 5 can be easily taken out by moving the rails 1 and 1 on the rails 1 and 1 to widen the interval between the adjacent frames 3.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, the bicycle can be stored in an aligned state by placing the bicycle on a frame that moves on the rail in an upright state and moving the bicycle in order to the end of the rail. You can easily store and take out the bicycle. Moreover, the bicycle parking equipment of the present invention has a simple structure and can be provided at low cost.
