Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a bicycle parking device that improves parking efficiency, particularly in parking spaces where height is severely restricted.

Conventionally, in bicycle parking devices that allow many bicycles to be parked side by side, in order to make effective use of the parking space, the parking intervals are made as narrow as possible, and the support positions of the bicycle front wheels are alternately set at different heights so that they can be parked next to each other. Bicycle handlebars are widely used to prevent interference with bicycle handlebars and to facilitate storage and removal of bicycles. However, this type of bicycle parking device
Since the above-mentioned height difference requires a higher space overall, it is safe for children, women, and the elderly to use, for example, the limited lower space of a station platform as a parking space, or for a two-tiered bicycle parking system. Currently, it cannot be installed in places where the height is strictly restricted in addition to flat parking spaces, such as when the overall height is required to be as low as possible so that it can be used for parking.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention arranges a large number of parking members on a parking floor at the same height level with as narrow an interval as possible. It is attached to the parking floor or an appropriate fixed part integral with the floor so that it can be tilted at a slight angle with respect to the vertical on both sides, and the adjacent parking member and stored bicycle, which are an obstacle when storing and taking out the bicycle from the parking member, are integrated. A multi-row bicycle parking device that allows bicycles to be stored and retrieved safely and easily by retracting and tilting them to the side to save space in the height direction while maintaining conventional parking efficiency. This is what we provide.

A detailed description will be given based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a parking space formed under the floor of a station platform P, for example, and is just high enough to accommodate an ordinary bicycle, and can be put in and taken out from the space outside the platform P. Reference numeral 2 denotes a large number of parking members arranged horizontally and diagonally at an angle of approximately 45 degrees on the parking floor 3 in the parking space 1 at suitable intervals, and each of the parking members 2 is formed to slightly widen at the rear end only. A wheel fitting frame 2a with an upper opening and a U-shaped cross section, and a round bar member fixed in the longitudinal direction of the parking member 2 on the front and rear back surfaces of the wheel fitting frame 2a and grounded on the parking floor 3. _2b .
It consists of a front wheel locking member 2c and a rear wheel locking member 2d which are integrally fixed later.

Reference numerals 4 and 4' designate swing support mechanisms for swingably supporting the parking member 2 on the parking floor 3, and are provided on one side of the front and rear sides of the wheel fitting frame 2a in the longitudinal direction of the frame. A pair of front and rear swinging support plates 5 are fixedly installed, extending at right angles to each other.
A straight elongated hole _5a1 is cut in the vertical direction, and the vertical plate portions 6a of the two L-shaped brackets 6 are placed on the parking floor 3 with the vertical plate portions 6a of the two end vertical plate portions 5a overlapped on the outer surface side. A protruding portion of a support pin 7 fixedly installed and pivotally supported through the back surface of each vertical plate portion 6a is inserted into the elongated hole 5a ₁
It is loosely inserted into.

Therefore, even if the bicycle is parked in a straight position as shown in _FIG . In the right tilted state shown in the figure, the engagement between the upper end of the elongated hole 5a ₁ and the pin 7, the collision between the lower end of the vertical plate portion 5a and the parking floor 3, and the tilting cause the center of gravity position of the parking member 2 including the bicycle to change. By moving to the right side of the pin 7, the parking member 2 maintains the floating rightward tilted state, and furthermore, in the leftward tilted state shown in FIG. 5, the bottom of the elongated hole _5a1 engages with the support pin 7, The collision of the round bar 2b with the parking floor 3 and the position of the center of gravity of the parking member 2 including the bicycle on the left side of the round bar 2b make it possible to maintain the leftward tilted state.

In other words, in the case of Figures 3 and 5, since the elongated hole _5a1 is a straight groove, the round bar 2
b has to slide on three surfaces of the parking floor,
In addition, in Fig. 4, the elongated hole 5a ₁ with respect to the center of gravity position
The main cause of retention is the twisting between the upper end and the lower end of the vertical plate portion 5a, and the inclination angle of the parking member 2, that is, the inclination angle of the axis L of the elongated hole _5a1 , is approximately
Approximately 12° is optimal.

Next, a method of using the bicycle parking device having the above-mentioned configuration will be explained.

In FIG. 6, bicycles J 1 , J 2 , and J 3 have already been placed in each parking member 2 of each parking row R ₁ , R ₂ , and R _{3 .}
Assume that it is stored. Parking member 2 is diagonal
Since they are placed side by side at 45 degrees, even if the parking member 2 is tilted to the left or right, the handlebars J ₁ a, J _{2 a} , and J _{3 a} of adjacent bicycles J ₁ , J ₂ , and J ₃ are No contact. now,
When taking out bicycle J ₂ from parking row R2,
Since the handle J ₁ a of J ₁ gets in the way, if you push the bicycle J ₁ to the left, the bicycle J ₁ will be maintained in a left-leaning state, and from this state you can take out the desired bicycle J ₂ . When entering or leaving the parking space, operate the bicycle by holding the rear part of the bicycle J from the space one space in front of the parking space.

In the above, if the user is left-handed, it is easy to pull out the bicycle _J3 in parking row R3 by pushing it to the right so that it is tilted to the right, and it is even easier to pull it out if the bicycles on both sides are tilted. To store a bicycle in each parking member 2, similarly to the above, it is sufficient to push an adjacent bicycle that may be an obstacle during storage to the left or right to obliquely retreat the bicycle.

As shown in FIG. 7, if the parking member 102 has a large number of freely rotatable rollers 102b supported on the bottom of the wheel fitting frame 102a, the parking member 102 can be parked even more smoothly even for a bicycle J' whose front wheels are locked. can be stored and retrieved.

Further, although the multi-row bicycle parking device of the above embodiment has been described as a single-stage bicycle parking device, it is of course possible to implement it on the lower stage side of a two-stage bicycle parking device, and the L-shaped bracket 6
may be fixed to other members on the parking floor 3.

Further, in the above description, the diagonal parallel parking was explained, but due to the parking space, it is also possible to park every other car in a slightly staggered manner in the front and back direction.

As detailed above, according to the device of the present invention, a large number of parking members are arranged in parallel at the same height level as close as possible, and are tilted at a slight angle to one or both sides of the vertical in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Because it is flexible, there is no need to alternate height differences between the front wheel support positions as in the past, and it is suitable for parking where the height is severely restricted and it is not possible to install a conventional front wheel support position with a height difference. It can be installed in any open space, and it is extremely easy to store and take out the bicycle by slightly pushing the adjacent bicycle that gets in the way when storing and taking out the bicycle.Furthermore, the swing support mechanism has a straight elongated hole and a pin. By using this engagement, it is possible to provide tilting support on both sides by only providing it on one side, and it has many effects.
