Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bicycle parking apparatus for parking a large number of bicycles side by side. In particular, the bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention mainly relates to a bicycle parking apparatus most suitable for a bicycle parking lot such as a bicycle shop, a park, a station, and an apartment. Bicycle is used herein in a broad sense to include a motorized bicycle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a device for parking a large number of bicycles, it is important how many bicycles can be parked in a limited area. Since the handlebars, pedals, baskets, etc. project from both sides of the bicycle, they cannot be placed close to each other. Forcing the bicycles closer together makes it very difficult to put in and take out the bicycle. It may also hit the side bicycle and cause it to fall.

In order to prevent the horizontally arranged bicycles from interfering with putting in and out, a bicycle parking device has been developed in which the bicycles are arranged side by side at regular intervals. In this bicycle parking device, mounting bases for mounting the front and rear wheels of a bicycle are horizontally arranged at regular intervals and fixed in parallel. The platform is designed so that the bicycle on it does not shift sideways.
The side walls 8 are fixed on both sides so that the bicycle does not fall. The bicycle is placed on the platform with the front and rear wheels inserted between the side walls 8. Since the pedestals are arranged at regular intervals, bicycles are also parked at regular intervals. Since the bicycle parking device having this structure can park the bicycle at a predetermined interval, the bicycle has a feature that the bicycle can be easily put in and taken out by designing the mounting table so that the lateral bicycle does not hit the bicycle.

However, it is difficult for the bicycle parking device of this structure to approach and park a bicycle. This is because it is necessary to widen the distance between adjacent bicycles so that the handlebars and the like do not hit. Therefore, this bicycle parking device can park a large number of bicycles neatly, but it is difficult to park a large number of bicycles in a small area.

In order to park a larger number of bicycles, a bicycle parking device has been developed in which adjacent stands are vertically displaced.
With this structure, since the heights of the handles of the bicycles mounted on the adjacent mounts are vertically shifted, the handle does not collide with the bicycle next to the handlebars. Therefore, the number of bicycles that can be parked can be increased as compared with a bicycle parking device in which bicycles are arranged horizontally. However, even with the bicycle parking device of this structure, the pedals and the basket of the bicycle collide with each other, so that the interval between the adjacent bicycles cannot be significantly narrowed. Therefore, it is difficult to park a large number of bicycles in a small area.

In order to prevent such a harmful effect, a three-dimensional bicycle parking apparatus has been developed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-49871 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-119163). Since the bicycle parking apparatus described in these publications parks the bicycle three-dimensionally, it has the feature that a large number of bicycles can be parked in a small area.

[0007]

However, the three-dimensional bicycle parking apparatus for a bicycle has a drawback that the equipment cost is extremely high.
Further, there is a drawback that the bicycle cannot be easily and easily put in and out quickly. This is because it is necessary to move the three-dimensionally stored bicycle to a position where it can be taken in and out. In addition, the bicycle parking apparatus that moves the entire bicycle to be moved in and out is disadvantageous in that it consumes considerable power and cannot be installed anywhere.

[0008] The present invention has been developed for the purpose of solving such disadvantages. An important object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle parking apparatus which has a very simple structure and can park a large number of bicycles in a small area, and can also conveniently take in and out the bicycles.

[0009]

The bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention has the following construction in order to achieve the above-mentioned object. The bicycle parking apparatus has a plurality of mounting bases 1 on which bicycles are mounted, the ends of which are connected to a center base 2 and are radially arranged. The tip of the mounting table 1 is connected to the center table 2 so as to be rotatable in a horizontal plane. When putting a bicycle in and out of the platform 1,
Is rotated in a horizontal plane to widen the space between the adjacent mounts 1 so that the adjacent bicycle does not get in the way.

Further, in the bicycle parking apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention, the vertical rotation shaft 3 is fixed to the tip of the mounting table 1.
The center stand 2 has a rotary cylinder 4 into which the vertical rotation shaft 3 of the mounting stand 1 can be put in and taken out. The rotary cylinder 4 is annularly fixed vertically to the center stand 2. Insert the vertical rotary shaft 3 into the rotary cylinder 4,
The platform 1 is connected to the center platform 2 so as to be rotatable and detachable.

Furthermore, in the bicycle parking apparatus according to a third aspect of the present invention, a bending portion 5 which can be bent in a vertical plane is provided at the tip of the mounting table 1. When the folding section 5 is folded, the mounting table 1
Is folded vertically.

Prior to the present invention, the inventor of the present invention has developed a bicycle parking device having a structure capable of moving laterally the platform 1 on which a bicycle is mounted. Since this bicycle parking device can move the platform 1 sideways,
The bicycle can be taken in and out by widening the space on both sides of the platform 1 where the bicycle is taken in and out. Therefore, you can conveniently move the bicycle in and out by sliding it to the side so that it is out of the way. The platform 1 that does not take in and out the bicycle is the platform 1
You can increase the number of bicycles that can be stored by approaching. The bicycle parking device having this structure allows a large number of bicycles to be parked in a small area, but can be put in and taken out without disturbing an adjacent bicycle.

However, when the bicycle parking apparatus of this structure is actually manufactured as a prototype, it is not always easy to laterally shift the bicycle. This is because it is necessary to move the front and rear of the bicycle sideways in order to shift the bicycle sideways. The front part of the bicycle does not move to the side even if the rear part of the bicycle is moved sideways. The rear of the bicycle can be easily moved to the side, but the front of the bicycle cannot. This is because the bicycles are parked side by side without any gaps, so the front part of the bicycle cannot be reached.

The bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention has a unique structure for preventing this adverse effect. That is, the bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention does not need to move the front and rear of the mounting table 1. This is because the mount 1 has its tip connected to the bicycle storage device so as to be rotatable and is arranged radially. Mounting table 1 rotated in a horizontal plane
Can be moved in and out conveniently by moving the rear part of the platform 1 sideways to widen the distance from the adjacent bicycle. Especially, the stand 1
According to the bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention in which the bicycles are radially arranged, the distance between the bicycle and the adjacent bicycle is wide on the outer periphery where the bicycle is taken in and out, so that the bicycle can be taken in and out more smoothly.

[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below exemplify a bicycle parking apparatus for embodying the technical idea of the present invention, and the present invention does not specify the bicycle parking apparatus to the following.

Further, in this specification, for easy understanding of the claims, the numbers corresponding to the members shown in the embodiments are referred to as "the claims column" and "to solve the problems. It is added to the members shown in the column of "means". However, the members described in the claims are not limited to the members of the embodiments.

The vertical rotation shaft 3 is inserted into a rotation cylinder 4 fixed to the center stand 2 and connects the mounting stand 1 so as to be rotatable in a horizontal plane. The vertical rotary shaft 3 shown in FIG. 3 is detachably inserted into the rotary cylinder 4, so that the connecting work can be easily performed, and when a large number of the mounting bases 1 are not needed, a part of the mounting base 1 can be used as a central base 2. It can be easily removed from the box or added as needed. However, the structure in which the mounting table is connected to the center table may be a structure in which a vertical rotation shaft is provided in the center table and the rotary cylinder 4 into which the vertical rotation shaft is inserted is provided at the tip of the mounting table.

As shown in the plan view of FIG. 1, the mounting table 1 has a width stop 7 for preventing the space between the mounting tables 1 adjacent to each other from becoming narrower than a certain distance. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, the platform 1 shown in the figure has the platform 1 having the width stop 7 disposed on both sides of the platform 1 having no width stop 7. That is, the table 1 without the width stop 7 and the table 1 with the width stop 7 are arranged adjacent to each other.
The width stop 7 protrudes on both sides of the mounting table 1 and contacts the side surface of the adjacent mounting table 1 to adjust the minimum distance between the mounting tables 1. Width stop 7
With the bicycle mounted on the platform 1, the bicycle is adjusted to the closest distance. The width stop 7 can also be fixed to all the mounts 1 as shown in FIG. The mounting table 1 in this figure projects to one side and adjusts the minimum distance between the mounting tables 1 adjacent to each other. The platform 1 having this structure has a feature that all of them can have the same structure. However, it is also possible to adopt a structure in which the width stop 7 is not provided on the mounting table 1.

The platform 1 has side walls 8 which are held on both sides of the wheels and fixed vertically on both sides so that the bicycle to be placed on the platform 1 does not fall. The side wall 8 is formed by bending a U end of a metal rod, and is fixed to the mounting table 1 via a vertical rod 9. The vertical rod 9 can be welded to the side wall 8 or a metal rod can be bent to form the vertical rod 9 and the side wall 8. The side wall 8 is raised at the portion sandwiching the rear wheel.
This is because the bicycle is supported on both sides of the wheel on the back side so as not to fall. However, in the present invention, the shape of the side wall 8 is not limited to this, and it is also possible to hold the bicycle in a straight shape, for example. The distance between the side walls 8 is such that the bicycle wheels can be inserted without difficulty and the wheels are inserted here so that the bicycle cannot fall over. Further, the tip of the side wall 8 may be U-shaped in which the left and right side walls 8 are connected to each other, or a horizontal rod may be welded between the side walls 8 to stop the tip of the wheel.

Further, in the bicycle parking apparatus, it is preferable that the position of the side wall 8 fixed to the mounts 1 is shifted to the front or rear for each adjacent mount 1. Bicycle carrier to be mounted on the adjacent platform 1.
This is to prevent the saddle and pedals from hitting.
The distance to be displaced back and forth is set to a distance that does not hit the saddle or the like of an adjacent bicycle. The bicycle parking device having this structure is based on one of the mounts 1 and has an odd number of mounts 1

In order to bend and lock the platform 1 again, the rear end portion 1B of the platform 1 is raised and the foot bar 14 is stepped on. Then, the piston 20 is pushed by the connecting plate 27 and the fixing groove 16 is opened. As the rear end of the mounting table 1 is pulled up, the tip of the guide bar 15 slides in the sliding groove 17 and approaches the fixed groove 16, and when reaching the fixed groove 16, the guide bar 15 is pushed by the force of pushing up the mounting table 1. Is inserted into the fixing groove 16. The guide bar 15 inserted in the fixed groove 16 cannot move any more. That is, the platform 1
Can't be folded anymore. Here, when the foot is lowered from the foot bar 14, the piston 20 is projected by the spring 21 incorporated in the cylinder 19 to close the opening of the fixing groove 16. With this, the guide bar 15 is fixed and the rear end portion 1B of the mounting table 1 is locked so as not to move.
The table 1 will not fall down even if the table 1 is released.

The bent portion 5 may have the structure shown in FIG. The mounting table 1 shown in this figure has a structure in which the mounting table 1 is divided into two and can be freely bent via a rotary shaft 13. This structure has a merit that it can be simply configured without a complicated lock mechanism, and can be easily mass-produced at low cost. Further, although not shown, it is also possible to provide a concavo-convex that can be bent stepwise at the bent portion 5.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG.
It is also possible to provide a hook 22 for connecting the rear end of the mounting table 1 to the center table 2 and holding the table 1 in a bent state so as not to fall. The bicycle parking apparatus shown in FIG. 13 is provided with a column 2A at the center of the center stand 2, and the hook 22 is movably connected at its rear end to the column 2A. The hook 22 is formed by bending a metal wire and has a U-shaped tip. The U-bent front end portion hooks the vertically-bent rear end portion 1B of the mounting table 1 and holds it so that it does not fall.

Further, the hook 22 may have the shape shown in FIG. The hook 22 shown in the figure has a rod shape made of metal as a whole, and a ring is provided at the rear end so that the ring can be freely moved through the ring fixed to the support 2A.

In this way, the structure in which the hook 22 is locked from above does not project to the left or right, so that the adjacent mounting bases 1 do not get in the way and can be easily operated and conveniently used. Further, since the hook 22 is connected to the column 2A so as to rotate only in the vertical direction, the hook 22 can be smoothly moved, the structure is simple, and the manufacturing cost is low.
Moreover, since the hook 22 does not move in an unnecessary direction and cannot be disengaged from the locking hole 8A unless it is pulled out from above, an accidental disengagement of the hook can be minimized.

Further, as shown in FIG. 16, when the mounting table 1 is folded and held in a posture in which it is slightly tilted toward the support column 2A, the holding state can be stabilized. In the bicycle parking apparatus shown in the figure, the size of the center stand 2 is configured to be slightly larger than that shown in FIG.
The size of the vertical rod 9 on the side wall 8 is adjusted so that the bent mounting base 1 tilts toward the column 2A. Further, in the bicycle parking apparatus of this structure, since the center stand 2 is enlarged, the circumference portion becomes long, so that more mounts 1 can be mounted or the intervals between the adjacent mounts 1 can be widened. Can be made easier.

The shape of the locking hole is not limited to a rectangular shape, but may be a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a U shape, or a V shape, and it can be bound to the mounting table 1 with a soft plastic having a closed loop. Furthermore, it is also possible to connect the hooks 22 so as to be rotatable not in the vertical direction but in a horizontal plane, and accordingly, the locking holes can be opened in the lateral direction.

The present invention is not limited to the hook structure described above, and any structure capable of holding the bent mounting table on the column can be used. This is because the bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention only needs to be able to hold the mounting table in a bent state so as not to fall. For example, a chain-shaped hook, a string-shaped hook, a structure in which an elastic member having an opening is used to sandwich the mounting base, or the like can be used. Alternatively, the bent mounting bases may be individually bound to the supporting columns with a string or band, or a plurality of mounting bases may be flipped up as shown in FIG.
A structure in which both ends of 8 are connected can also be used. The string or band can be connected to the column or can be a separate member. Furthermore, a hook may be provided near the rear end of the mounting table so that the hook can be hooked on the support pillar, or a hook can be provided on both the supporting pillar and the rear end of the mounting base, and both hooks can be hooked and connected. it can. Alternatively, it is also possible to directly connect the support column and the mounting table by projecting the connection portion on the support column without using the hook.

The structure including the hook 22 can securely hold the platform 1 in the folded state by the lock mechanism of the bent portion 5 and the hook 22, so that the platform 1 can be prevented from falling and can be used safely. it can. When you want to extend and use the platform 1, you can stand on the side of the bicycle parking device, remove the hook 22 with your hand, step on the foot bar 14 with your foot, and release the lock mechanism. You can easily and conveniently place a bicycle, a bicycle with a motor, etc.

However, the present invention does not specify the structure of the bent portion to these. The folding part can be folded, for example, by folding an unused table vertically to open the space to the adjacent table or making the whole compact when moving or storing the device. The purpose of this is to make it possible to use the bicycle parking device more conveniently. Therefore,
The folding part can be any structure that can be folded, and the hook structure can also be any structure that can connect the platform and the center platform. Further, the lock mechanism may be provided only at the bent portion, or may be provided only at the rear end of the mounting table or the center table.

The bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention has a simple structure and can park a large number of bicycles in a small area. In particular, the remarkable feature of the bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention is that although a large number of bicycles can be parked, they can be conveniently put in and taken out so that the bicycles adjacent to both sides do not get in the way, and the entire structure is improved. It is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. The structure can be simplified because the tip of the platform is connected to the center so that it can rotate in a horizontal plane, and the bicycle on the platform can be conveniently taken in and out.

Further, in the bicycle parking apparatus of the present invention, since the mounts are radially arranged on the center stand, the space between the bicycles adjacent to each other on the outer periphery where the bicycle is taken in and out is widened, and the mounts are placed in the horizontal plane.
