Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an auxiliary operating device for a lock lever in a bicycle stand.

The present invention relates to an auxiliary operating device that facilitates the operation of a lock lever in a bicycle stand.

Conventionally, a lock lever installed on a bicycle stand is operated by directly operating its lower end with a hand or foot. Therefore, it is common to position your body on the side of a parked bicycle and operate it with your feet. However, when a large number of bicycles are lined up close to each other, such as in a parking lot, if you operate the lock lever to lock the stand, you will have to use your body to operate the lock lever to take out the bicycle. Of course, there are many cases in which it is particularly inconvenient to take out the bicycle because there is not enough space to insert the toe of the foot and it is impossible to release the lock of the stand.

The present invention aims to eliminate this type of inconvenience and provide an operating device that allows the lock lever to be easily operated from any position, especially from the rear of the vehicle body.

The present invention will be explained with reference to a two-legged stand which is an embodiment shown in the drawings.One is a stand whose upper end is rotatably pivoted to a base plate 2 which is attached to a bicycle body (not shown) using a leg rod. Reference numeral 3 designates a lock lever having its base 4 pivoted at a predetermined position below the shaft attachment portion of the base plate 2, and the base 4 has a lock lever provided at the lower end of the base plate 1 with which the leg rod 1 engages. A U-shaped bent portion 6 is provided, which is bent to sandwich the stopper piece 7 and the leg rod portion that engages with the stopper piece 7. Reference numeral 8 denotes a coil spring for flipping up the leg rod 1, whose lower end is hooked to a cut-and-raise claw 9 formed at the lower end of the lock lever 3, and whose upper end is hooked to a bend-and-raise hook piece 10 provided on the base plate 2. Reference numeral 11 designates an auxiliary operation frame rod made of steel wire bent into a substantially rhombus shape, one end of which is welded and fixed to the back side near the lower end of the lock lever 3, and the other end is positioned above the pivoting part of the leg rod 1 and the base plate 2. It is welded to the outer surface of the U-shaped bent portion 6 through the U-shaped bent portion 6, and is formed into a vertically elongated shape such that one of its acute-angled diamond portions is located upward.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, whether the bicycle is parked and the stand is locked, or the bicycle is parked and the stand is locked, it is possible to perform auxiliary operations using the hands or feet as appropriate. When the frame rod 11 is rotated, the lock lever 3 integrated therewith is operated, so that the stand can be easily locked and released.

Although this embodiment has been described using a double-legged stand, it is of course possible to implement the present invention using a single-legged stand.

Therefore, according to the present proposal, the auxiliary operating frame lever is located at a position that does not interfere with the operation of the leg lever, and it is relatively easy to operate even when bicycles are lined up next to each other and hands and feet cannot be placed directly on the lock lever. Since it is formed above the axle where your hands and feet can be inserted, the lock lever can be easily operated from the rear of the vehicle via the auxiliary operating frame lever, even if the vehicle is parked close to each other. There are flights available. Further, since the auxiliary operating frame lever forms a lever, the lock lever can be operated with a light force, and is therefore extremely effective when installed on a lock lever in a bicycle stand. Furthermore, the auxiliary operation frame rod can be easily formed from steel wire or the like, and can be easily attached to the lock lever by welding or the like as described above, so it can be mass-produced at low cost. It also has the advantage of further enhancing its effectiveness in use.
