Description

{BICYCLE CARRIER ATTACHABLE TO VEHICLE}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bicycle transportation device for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a bicycle transportation device for a vehicle, which is mounted on a trunk of an automobile to allow a bicycle to be more conveniently and stably mounted on a vehicle, To a bicycle transportation device for a vehicle, which has a sense of unity with a vehicle and can mount a large number of bicycles at one time.

Bicycles are used not only as a means of transportation but also as a means of leisure.

When using a bicycle as a recreational vehicle, bicycle users often use bicycles to transport bicycles to nearby mountains where rivers, rivers or mountain bike trails with well-maintained bicycle paths are avoided from the city center.

The bicycle has a volume that is not easy to load in the trunk of the vehicle as well as the vehicle on which the passenger is mounted. Therefore, the bicycle is generally loaded and carried through a carrier installed on the roof of the automobile.

However, it is not only inconvenient and dangerous for the operator to load the bicycle on the roof, but also because the bicycle loaded on the roof of the vehicle increases the air resistance during driving to lower the fuel efficiency of the vehicle, There is a problem that the expensive bicycle loaded on the ceiling is damaged due to carelessness when entering or exiting the building.

As a conventional technique for solving the above problems, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2011-0034730 (entitled "CAR CARRYING CARRIER") is disclosed.

1, the upper frame 10, the lower frame 20, and the fixing belts 51 and 52 are fixed to the trunk of the vehicle or the tail gate 1 to prevent them from being separated from each other when the vehicle is running. (53) are coupled to upper, middle, and lower portions of the tail gate (1), respectively.

The bicycle carrier includes an upper frame 10 and a lower frame 20 formed in a substantially 'U' shape so as to be in close contact with the upper and lower sides of the tailgate 1 of the automobile to support the carrier, And the upper and lower frames 10 and 20 are connected to each other through upper ends of the link assemblies 40 so that the upper and lower frames 10 and 20 are vertically connected to each other. The bicycle rack 30 formed by bending the bicycle 2 in a 'C' shape so that the bicycle 2 can be stably mounted on the bicycle can be stably mounted on the link assembly 40, .

The lower frame 20 is inserted into a lower frame insertion groove 413 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the link assembly 40 and is fixed firmly using fixing means such as bolts 47. At this time, 10) 20 may be provided with a contact buffer member 11 (21) made of a flexible material so as to prevent the vehicle from being scratched or the like at a central portion which is bent in a 'C' shape and closely attached to the tail gate 1 In the drawings, a plurality of single-rod-like shapes are provided at predetermined intervals in the upper frame 10 and the lower frame 20, respectively, by way of example.

The link assembly 40 includes three fixing belts 51, 52 and 53. The first fixing belt 51 extending upward is engaged with the top of the tail gate 1, The second fixing belt 52 extending to the side is engaged with both ends of the tail gate 1 and the third fixing belt 53 extending downward is engaged with the lower end of the tail gate 1, The fixing belts 51, 52 and 53 are dispersed in three directions, that is, the upper side, the left side, the lower side, and the lower side, so that the carrier is prevented from being unexpectedly released from the tailgate 1 At the same time, the state of the bicycle can be stably maintained.

However, the conventional technique has a problem in that it is difficult to apply to a passenger car having a low height of a vehicle body as a method of loading a bicycle on the rear surface of the vehicle. Especially, since a license plate attached to the rear surface of the vehicle is not visible, There is a problem that the use thereof is limited.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is applied to a passenger car, facilitates the operation of mounting the bicycle on the vehicle, and is very robust in fixing the bicycle carrier and the bicycle, The present invention is directed to a bicycle transportation device for a vehicle.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the fixing means is provided on the upper portion of the main body frame, and the upper side thereof is provided with a fixing rod mounting base for supporting the plurality of fixing rods, And a hinge member hinged to allow the rod to rotate.

In the present invention, the fixing rod is formed in a cylindrical shape so as to be insertable into a saddle-stitching frame of a bicycle, and is fixed by a saddle-height adjusting and fixing member.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the fastening means is a fastener which is interlocked by a rotary lever so as to be fastened to the outside of the vehicle and which pulls one side of a connecting cord made of an elastic material and fastens the fastener, And a connector for connecting the lever to one side of the connecting strap.

In the present invention, the hinge member is characterized in that the fixing bar is rotated 180 degrees forward and backward.

According to the present invention, the fastener includes a base fixed to the main frame, a lever shaft provided at an upper side of the base to center the lever when the lever is rotated, A length adjusting nut rod provided at a middle portion of the lever and screwed to one side of the length adjusting screw portion and a pivot shaft provided at an intermediate portion of the lever to form a central axis when the length adjusting nut rod is rotated .

In the present invention, the receiving means may include: a cover formed of a cushioning member attached to an outer periphery of the horizontal supporting rod; A support rod column supporting the horizontal support rod; A support rod mounting table installed on an upper surface of the main body frame to mount the support rod column; And a hinge which is provided between the support rod mounting base and the support rod column and is hinged so that the support base is rotatable.

In the present invention, the fixing means is provided at the front portion and the rear portion of the main body frame, respectively, and the supporting means corresponding to the fixing means is provided at the middle portion of the main body frame, .

According to the present invention as described above, the following effects can be obtained.

First, the operation of mounting the bicycle is very easy, and after the mounting operation, the bicycle can be transported more stably because the bicycle is firmly fixed and the self-weight of the bicycle is prevented from being detached.

Second: Since several bicycles can be transported at the same time, it is possible to mobilize a large number of club associates together, thereby promoting the activities of clubs more actively and actively.

Third: The self-lifting lifting function makes it easier for the elderly and women to carry bicycles, because it makes it easier to store bicycles in the vehicle without difficulty.

Fourth, since it is installed at the upper part of the trunk of the vehicle, it is free from the problem due to the height restriction, and minimizes the problem of fuel efficiency degradation of the vehicle by minimizing the air resistance of the vehicle when moving.
