Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Technical field of the invention This invention relates to a transportable and movable bicycle storage device for storing a large number of bicycles and using it as a parking lot.

(b) Prior art In general, it is said that a bicycle parking lot must be located in front of a station or in the vicinity of a station, on a passenger flow line within approximately 300 meters from the station, and sites that meet this condition belong to so-called prime locations. Land prices are rising. Therefore, it is desirable for a bicycle storage device to be installed in such a location to have a structure that eliminates the need for land for facility maintenance and is economical. Various conventional bicycle storage devices are known, but to the best of the inventor's knowledge, there does not seem to be one that is satisfactory. For example, in the well-known bicycle storage device in which the front wheel fixing device is installed in stages on a base frame that is erected or placed on a concrete floor, the installation site requires a site where a rain cover has been erected and prepared. Land acquisition, design and construction costs are high, and this poses a large financial burden. Furthermore, building facilities in areas where bicycles are used for a short period of time, such as areas with heavy snowfall, is a waste of time as the facilities are useless during the winter, and there is a risk that snow removal will be hindered and the facilities may be damaged due to snow accumulation. In addition, the bicycle storage device placed in front of the station did not have sufficient consideration for urban aesthetics.
Part of the environment in front of the station was sacrificed. Therefore, there has been a strong desire for an aesthetically pleasing bicycle storage device.

(c) Effects of the invention This invention was made with attention to the above points, and consists of a plurality of wheel fixing bodies for supporting bicycles in a generally inclined shape on a base that is entirely box-shaped and can be transported and moved. By creating an array of bicycle storage spaces and a display area for plants and other parts,
To provide a bicycle storage device that is easy to transport and move for installation, is economical because it does not require land for facility maintenance, and is aesthetically pleasing.

(d) Structure of the invention In order to achieve the above object, the bicycle storage device according to this invention is mounted on a base that is transportable and movable, with an entrance for entering and exiting bicycles left on one side, and an opening on the top and left and right sides. is covered with first and second cover materials to form a space for storing a bicycle therein, and a wheel fixing body for supporting the bicycle is positioned on a base in the space, with its wheel entry/exit portion facing the entrance/exit side. , arranged in plural rows in an overall inclined shape, the lower surface side of each inclined wheel fixed body is covered with a third cover material, and this third cover material is integrally connected with the first cover material of the upper surface part, 3. A place for displaying plants and other parts is formed on a base corresponding to the outside of the cover material.

(E) Examples The details of this invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 8 are diagrams showing an embodiment of this invention. 1 and 2 are schematic perspective views of a bicycle storage device according to this invention, which includes a base 1 that is transportable and movable, a bicycle storage space 2, and a wheel fixing body 3. , a plant and other parts display area 4 (hereinafter referred to as the display area).

The base 1, which is transportable and movable, is a rectangular rigid flat plate with load capacity and corrosion resistance.The surface floor 5 on the base 1 has a bicycle storage space 2, a wheel fixing body 3, and a display area. 4 is formed.
The rear floor 6 is provided with wheels 7 at four corners for convenient movement of the bicycle storage device. Furthermore, connecting arms 9a convenient for towing are provided at the left and right ends 8a and 8b.
9b is provided. However, the wheels 7 and the connecting arms 9a, 9b are not essential, and the entire base 1 may be mounted on, for example, a truck (not shown) and transported to a suitable location.

The bicycle storage space 2 is defined inwardly from the one side surface 10, the top surface 11, and the left and right side surfaces 12a and 12b. One side portion 10 is fully open when a bicycle is entered and serves as an entrance 13 for entering and exiting the bicycle. Specifically, one side 14 in the longitudinal direction of the base 1 is provided with a hinge portion (not shown). It has an "opening surface" with a rectangular bicycle entry board 15 that can be opened and closed.

The upper part of the base 1 is covered with a first cover material 16 to form an upper surface 11, and this first cover material 16 has one side surface 10, that is, an upper side 17 corresponding to the upper side of the entrance/exit 13, and a wheel fixing body to be described later. 3 and the third cover material 19 covering the lower surface side 18 of 3.
It is integrated with and continuous with the cover material 19.
In this way, the first cover material 16 and the third cover material 19
The one in which these are continuous and integrated is formed by connecting a plurality of ribbed extruded elongated members 20 each having a constant width in a row in the lateral direction (the longitudinal direction of the bicycle storage device). That is, each ribbed extruded elongated member 20 has a curved shape corresponding to the shape of the continuous and integrated two members 16 and 19, and is sequentially fitted into the girder member 21 provided through the longitudinal direction. Both members 1 are connected in a continuous and integrated manner.
6, 19 are formed. Furthermore, one side portion 1 of the integrated body of both members 16 and 19
0, a rectangular flat plate 22 is attached to the upper side 17 as an eave. For example, it is also possible to use Japanese Patent Publication No. 46-3434 as the ribbed extruded elongated material 20 and the beam material 21. Note that the shape of the first cover material 16 is not limited to a curved shape and can be freely set.

The left and right ends of the first cover material 16 and the third cover material 19, which are integrally connected in a curved shape and are connected in the longitudinal direction to form the upper surface 11 and other parts, that is, the left and right side surfaces 12a and 12b are It is covered with a second cover material 23. A "bicycle storage space 2" is defined inside the space. In the illustrated example, “second cover material” 23
is made of the same material as the material that integrally forms the first cover material 16 and the third cover material 19, but is a flat extruded long material 20 with ribs that does not curve or bend. The second cover material 23 is formed by sequentially fitting into a plurality of non-illustrated beam members that are passed through vertically or horizontally.

These first, second, and third cover materials 16, 2
3 and 19 are made of aluminum, for example, to reduce the overall weight including the base 1 in preparation for transportation and movement.

The wheel fixing body 3 is a long groove-shaped rigid body having a groove width corresponding to the width of the bicycle, and is arranged in parallel in multiple rows in the bicycle storage space 2 in a direction that intersects with the longitudinal direction, with the whole body slanted. In order to ensure that the handlebars 38a and other protruding parts of the bicycles 38 do not touch each other, a certain distance W is provided, and the height positions of the adjacent bicycles 38 are alternately made. They are arranged in a plurality of rows so that their heights are alternately different. Specifically, a horizontal bar 26 is installed on a pair of right and left supports 25a, 25b provided at the left and right ends 8a, 8b of the base 1, and the bicycle 3 is mounted in two stages, upper and lower, without the handlebars touching the horizontal bar 26.
A wheel fixed body 3a having a linear bottom surface 27 for supporting both front and rear wheels 39, 41 of a bicycle 38, and a similar bottom surface 27.
Wheel fixing bodies 3b, each of which has a wheel entry/exit portion 30 bent in the middle, are arranged alternately at both upper and lower positions in the longitudinal direction. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the front ends 28, 28 are fixedly supported at a desired interval W, and the rear ends 29, 29 are positioned on the side of the entrance 13 with the same interval W, and the wheel entrance/exit part 30, It is set at 30. Each of the wheel fixing bodies 3a, 3b has a notch 31 for fixing the front wheel 39 on the bottom surface 27 near the front end 28, and a groove-shaped outer side surface 32 near the rear end 29 has a cutout 31 for fixing the front wheel 39. A stopper body 35 is attached that supports a fixing stopper rod 33 so as to be movable forward and backward through the hole 34 in a direction across the wheel fixing bodies 3a, 3b.

The display area 4 is formed on the surface floor 5 on the base 1 corresponding to the outside of the third cover material 19 so that plants and other parts can be displayed. In the illustrated example, planters for flowers 36 are placed on the surface floor 5, and triangular plates 37 are attached to both sides of the display area 4 for division.

Next, the action will be explained. First, in order to store the bicycle 38 in the bicycle storage space 2, the bicycle entry board 15 provided at the entrance 13 for entering and exiting the bicycle is folded down, and the wheel entry/exit portion 30 of the wheel fixing body 3, 3a, 3b is opened.
Push the bicycle 38 further forward and turn the front wheel 3
9 into the notch 31, and attach the rear wheel 41 to the stopper bar 3.
The bicycle 38 is stored by supporting it with 3. This state is the upper and lower wheel fixed bodies 3a and 3b.
However, the wheel fixed body 3a
and 3b are alternately arranged at intervals W, so that the storage operation can be easily performed without the handles of adjacent bicycles 38 touching. When the bicycle has been stored, close the bicycle entry board 15 and use the wheels 7 of the bicycle storage device to rotate the entire bicycle storage device to change its orientation so that the display area 4 faces forward. For example, if the flowers 36 are placed in a conspicuous place, this bicycle storage device will blend in with the surrounding atmosphere, and if necessary, the bicycle storage device
The base 1 may be moved by being towed to a suitable location using a towing vehicle 40 (see FIG. 8), or the entire base 1 may be placed on a truck or the like and transported to another location. It should be noted that this bicycle storage device can be used for one bicycle or for a plurality of bicycles in succession.

FIG. 9 shows another embodiment.
