Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure easy and safe parking of a bicycle by providing a driving part to tilt a bicycle with its front wheel raised when a control means is operated. SOLUTION: When a rear wheel of bicyle pushes down a roller 29, a side plate 27 roates to disengage an interlock pin 48 from a lower surface part of a horizontal surface 47b of a lock plate 47 for preventing rising. Then, when a control pedal 42 is pressed down, a shaft 41 is turned to disengage a perpendicular surface 47a from a shaft 24 and a roller 26 is rotated to move ahead by a drive spring for starting tilting of a tilting frame 21. Successively, a lower surface of a rotating preventing stopper 52 comes to the upper side of a protrusion 31, thereby restraining the reverse turning of a plate 27 for preventing rearward falling of bicycle. When a frame 21 is tilted according to turning of a driving arm 62, a shaft 24 abuts against the front surface of a stopper part 46a to prevent the frame 21 from descending, and the front wheel is raised upward and held. Accordingly, easy and safe parking of bicyle can be made.

The connection lever 44 pivots and interlocks with a descent prevention stopper 46 provided at a substantially central lower end of the side frame 11 via a link mechanism 45. The descent prevention stopper 46 is provided with a vertical stopper part 46a at the front end facing forward and upward, and also provided with a spring (not shown) which rotates and returns when a force is applied in a direction in which the stopper part 46a descends. Have been.

[0010] In front of the shaft 41, the shaft 24 extends under the interlock pin 48 which extends forward from the shaft 41 and is provided at right angles to the lower end of the side plate 27.
The lock plate 47 has a vertical surface 47a that contacts the shaft 24 and a horizontal surface 47b sandwiched between the shaft 24 and the interlock pin 48.

A bracket 49 is provided outside the tilting frame 21 between the tilting frame 21 and the side frame 11. A roller lever 50 having a roller 51 at the tip and a rotation prevention stopper 52 are fixed to both ends of a shaft rotatably provided on a bracket 49 at a predetermined angle, respectively. The roller lever 50 is provided with a spring (not shown) so as to be rotatable until the rotation prevention stopper 52 reaches a predetermined position.

A shaft 60 is provided at a right angle below the front of the two side frames 11, and a shaft 61 is provided at a right angle substantially below the center of the tilting frame 21.
A drive arm 62 is rotatably screwed to the shaft 60 and the shaft 61 between the shaft 60 and the shaft 61 which are parallel to the lateral direction. Further, between the shaft 60 and the interlock pin 48, the tilting frame 2 is always provided.
A drive spring 63 for pulling 1 forward is attached.

Next, the operation of the above-described device will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the operation. In the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, when the front wheel 2 is passed between the side plates 27 and the rear wheel 3 is also put between the side plates 27 in the parking direction of the arrow 10 to park the motorcycle 1, the rear wheel 3 is sandwiched. The motorcycle 1 stands upright and is prevented from falling.

At this time, as shown in FIG.
As a result, the tire rolling roller 29 is pushed down and the side plate 27 rotates, so that the interlock pin 48
Rotates rearward and the horizontal surface 4
It comes off from the lower surface of 7b. Next, when the operation petal 42 is pushed down by a step or the like, the shaft 41 rotates as shown in FIG. 2B, and the vertical surface 47a comes off the shaft 24 without being blocked by the interlock pin 48.
The roller 26 rotates and moves forward by the traction force of the drive spring 63 and the auxiliary force that pushes the motorcycle 1 forward, and the tilting frame 21 starts to tilt. The operation petal 42 is not limited to this, but can be operated by a switch provided with a driving unit.

When the tilting frame 21 starts tilting, the roller 51 moves away from the upper surface of the side frame 11, so that the roller lever 50 and the rotation preventing stopper 52 rotate backward by the force of a spring (not shown), and rotate. Since the lower surface of the movement prevention stopper 52 reaches the upper side of the predetermined protrusion 31, the rotation of the side plate 27 in the reverse direction is suppressed, and the operation of preventing the motorcycle 1 from falling backward is performed. It should be noted that the fall of the motorcycle 1 from falling over can also be performed by providing a stopper or the like on the front wheel 2.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2C, when the drive arm 62 rotates and the tilting frame 21 tilts, the shaft 24 rides over the lowering prevention stopper 46 and contacts the front surface of the stopper portion 46a of the lowering prevention stopper 46. The parking operation is completed at the position where the front wheel 2 is raised while the contact tilting frame 21 is prevented from lowering. Since the lowering stopper 46 is provided with a spring (not shown) as described above, it is sufficient to return the operating petal 42 to its original position before the shaft 24 comes to the lowering preventing stopper 46 position. It should be noted that the elevation of the front wheel 2 can be replaced with another link mechanism or hydraulic mechanism.

When lowering the motorcycle 1 from the bicycle parking device,
When the operation petal 42 is pressed down by a step or the like,
As the shaft 41 rotates, the connecting lever 44 also rotates, so that the descent prevention stopper 46 rotates via the link mechanism 45, the vertical surface 46a is disengaged from the shaft 24, and the tilting frame 21 descends in the horizontal direction, thereby initializing the motorcycle 1. Can be returned to the position.

[0018]

According to the tilting two-wheeled vehicle parking device of the present invention, when the two-wheeled vehicle is parked, it can be easily and safely parked by riding horizontally and raising and holding the front wheel upward.

Further, since the front wheels are raised by a spring or the like, the front wheels can be raised considerably, so that the parking space for bicycles can be greatly reduced.

The reduction of the bicycle parking space will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a side view when the bicycle is parked in the conventional motorcycle parking system similar to FIG.
