Description

Title: A protection device for protecting a part of a bicycle frame or a bicycle fork.
The invention relates to a protection device for protecting a part of a bicycle frame or a bicycle fork.
When bicycles are transported there is a risk that painted or powdercoated surfaces of the bicycles get damaged. This may for example happen when bicycles are placed against one another. For example bicycle frames, and particularly front forks of bicycles, are quite susceptible to such kind of damage.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a solution for reducing said risk.
For that purpose the invention provides a protection device according to the appended independent claim 1. Preferable embodiments of the invention are provided by the appended dependent claims 2-10.
Accordingly, the invention provides a protection device for protecting a part of a bicycle frame or a bicycle fork, wherein: the protection device comprises an adhesive flexible mounting strip and an elongated elastomeric bumper, which is attachable to the mounting strip to form an assembled condition of the protection device; the mounting strip has a bicycle attachment side and a bumper attachment side opposite to the bicycle attachment side, wherein the mounting strip comprises a self-adhesive layer at the bicycle attachment side, said self-adhesive layer being configured for releasably attaching the mounting strip to an outer surface area of a bicycle frame or of a bicycle fork; and the bumper has an impact receiving side and a mounting strip attachment side opposite to the impact receiving side, wherein the mounting strip attachment side of the bumper and the bumper attachment side of the mounting strip are configured for attachment to one another to form said assembled condition of the protection device.
Hence, the protection device according to the invention comprises the flexible mounting strip, which comprises the self-adhesive layer, by which the flexible mounting strip, as a separate part of the protection device, can be easily, accurately, reliably and firmly attached to an outer surface area of a bicycle frame or fork, even in cases where such outer surface areas are very curvy. After the mounting strip has been attached to the bicycle, the bumper can be attached to the mounting strip. Furthermore, thanks to the elongated and elastomeric characteristics of the bumper, various elongated tubular parts of bicycle frames and forks can be effectively protected by one or more of these protection devices per bicycle.
In a preferable embodiment of a protection device according to the invention, said self-adhesive layer of the mounting strip is further configured to be firmly attachable to any painted or powdercoated surface of a bicycle frame or of a bicycle fork and to be removable therefrom over time without damaging said painted or powdercoated surface. Such kind of self-adhesive layers are obtainable in the trade. For example, the mounting strip could be made of a tape from the 3M™
VHB™ Tape family.
In another preferable embodiment of a protection device according to the invention, the bumper attachment side of the mounting strip or the mounting strip attachment side of the bumper comprises a further self-adhesive layer, which is configured for attachment of the bumper to the mounting strip to form said assembled condition of the protection device. In case said further self-adhesive layer is part of the bumper attachment side of the mounting strip, the mounting strip can for example be embodied as a double-sided adhesive tape, for example made of a tape from the 3M™ VHB™ Tape family.
In another preferable embodiment of a protection device according to the invention, the bumper is made of a thermoplastic polyurethane having a shore A hardness between 40 and 80, more preferably between 50 and 70. This provides effective protection for the typical damage risks to which transported bicycles are exposed.
In another preferable embodiment of a protection device according to the invention the bumper has an impact absorbing recess in its mounting strip attachment side, wherein in said assembled condition of the protection device said impact absorbing recess of the bumper is closed off by the bumper attachment side of the mounting strip to form an internal impact absorbing air chamber of the protection device. This results in increased impact absorbing characteristics of the protection device, while at the same time the bumper can be produced very efficiently and with material savings.
In another preferable embodiment of a protection device according to the invention said impact absorbing recess comprises a pressure release recess portion in the mounting strip attachment side of the bumper, wherein in said assembled condition of the protection device said pressure release recess portion is closed off by the bumper attachment side of the mounting strip to form a pressure release passage which is narrowed relative to other parts of the internal impact absorbing air chamber, and wherein in said assembled condition said pressure release passage opens towards the outside environment of the protection device thereby forming a pressure release valve of the internal impact absorbing air chamber. Said pressure release recess portion further improves the impact absorbing characteristics of the protection device, while at the same time said pressure release recess portion still allows the bumper to be produced very efficiently and with material savings.
In another preferable embodiment of a protection device according to the invention: as seen in a perpendicular viewing direction relative to the self-adhesive layer of the mounting strip of the protection device when the protection device is in said assembled condition, the bumper has a central bumper portion and a peripheral bumper portion surrounding said central bumper portion, and the central bumper portion has a higher thickness in said perpendicular viewing direction than the peripheral bumper portion; the central bumper portion has a central impact receiving side and a central mounting strip attachment side opposite to the central impact receiving side, wherein the central impact receiving side and the central mounting strip attachment side are part of the impact receiving side and the mounting strip attachment side of the bumper, respectively; the peripheral bumper portion is a flexible layer having a peripheral impact receiving side and a peripheral mounting strip attachment side opposite to the peripheral impact receiving side, wherein the peripheral impact receiving side and the peripheral mounting strip attachment side are part of the impact receiving side and the mounting strip attachment side of the bumper, respectively; and in said assembled condition of the protection device at least the peripheral mounting strip attachment side of the mounting strip attachment side of the bumper is attached to the bumper attachment side of the mounting strip.
Hence, in the last-mentioned preferable embodiment the bumper has the relatively thick central bumper portion surrounded by the peripheral bumper portion in the form of the flexible layer of lesser thickness. Thanks to said peripheral flexible layer of the bumper, the bumper can be attached easily, accurately, reliably and firmly to the flexible mounting strip, even in cases where the flexible mounting strip is attached to very curvy outer surface areas of a bicycle.
At the same time the central bumper portion of the bicycle, which is thicker (i.e. more protruding from the bicycle) than the peripheral bumper portion, is the most likely part of the bumper to be impacted by external objects.
It is remarked that, in case the protection device has the above- mentioned impact absorbing recess, said impact absorbing recess is preferably extending wholly, or as much as possible, in the above-mentioned central bumper portion where the impact absorbing recess is generally the most functional for absorbing impacts by external objects. It is further remarked that, in case the impact absorbing recess has the above-mentioned pressure release recess portion, said pressure release recess portion is preferably extending wholly, or as much as possible, in the peripheral bumper portion, where its functionality as a pressure release valve is generally not so often hampered by impacts that would close off the pressure release passage, since the thinner peripheral bumper portion is less likely to be impacted by external objects than the thicker central bumper portion.
In another preferable embodiment of a protection device according to the invention the central bumper portion has at least one hinging recess in its central impact receiving side, said hinging recess being elongated in a first elongation direction which is transverse to a second elongation direction in which the bumper is elongated. More preferably, the central bumper portion has at least two hinging recesses in its central impact receiving side, each of said at least two hinging recesses being elongated in said first elongation direction, and wherein the at least two hinging recesses are extending spaced apart alongside one another. Said at least one or said at least two hinging recesses provide improved adaptability of the protection device to, for example, a bicycle frame tube having a relatively strong curvature in its longitudinal direction. At the same time, such hinging recesses provide material savings.
The invention can further be embodied in an assembly comprising: — a bicycle frame and/or a bicycle fork; and — at least one protection device according to the invention; wherein the protection device is in said assembled condition, and wherein 5 the mounting strip of the protection device is attached to an outer surface area of the bicycle frame or of the bicycle fork by said self-adhesive layer.
In the following, the invention is further elucidated with reference to a non-limiting embodiment and with reference to the schematic figures in the appended drawing, in which the following is shown.
Fig. 1 shows, in a perspective view, an example of an embodiment of a protection device according to the invention, wherein the protection device is in its assembled condition, and wherein the protection device is mounted to an outer surface area of a bicycle fork.

It is noted that in the different embodiments of Figs. 1-6 like parts or aspects between the different embodiments have been indicated by the same reference signs.
Based on the above introductory description, including the brief description of the drawing figures, and based on the above-listed reference signs used in Figs. 1-6, the embodiments of Figs. 1-6 are for the greatest part readily self- explanatory. The following extra explanations are given.
Reference is first made to the embodiment of Figs. 1-4 relating to the protection device 1. In the shown example, the mounting strip 3 of the protection device 1 is embodied as a double-sided adhesive tape. Fig. 3 shows the self-adhesive layer 7 at the bicycle attachment side 5 of the mounting strip 3, and Fig. 2 shows the further self-adhesive layer 10 at the bumper attachment side 6 of the mounting strip 3. Each of the self-adhesive layer 7 and the further self-adhesive layer 10 of the mounting strip 3 may typically be provided with a cover sheet, which a user can remove to expose the self-adhesive layer concerned for subsequent attachment of the mounting strip 3 to an outer surface area of a bicyle part, or for subsequent attachment to the mounting strip attachment side 9 of the bumper 4, respectively.
Fig. 3 further shows that the bumper 4 has the elongated impact absorbing recess 11 in its mounting strip attachment side 9.
Fig. 4 shows the assembled condition of the protection device 1, in which the bumper 4 is attached with its mounting strip attachment side 9 to the further self-adhesive layer 10 of the mounting strip 3. In Fig. 4 it is seen that the impact absorbing recess 11 of the bumper 4 is closed off by the bumper attachment side 6 of the mounting strip 3 to form the internal impact absorbing air chamber 12 of the protection device 1. In the assembled condition of the protection device 1 of Fig. 4 the internal impact absorbing air chamber 12 is hermetically separated from the outside environment of the protection device 1.
Fig. 4 further shows that the central bumper portion 15 has higher thickness than the peripheral bumper portion 16, as seen in a perpendicular viewing direction relative to the self-adhesive layer 7 of the mounting strip 3. From
Figs. 1 and 2 it can be inferred that the peripheral bumper portion 16 is surrounding the central bumper portion 15, as seen in said perpendicular viewing direction.
From Figs. 1-4 it can be inferred that the central bumper portion 15 has the two hinging recesses 21 and 22 in its central impact receiving side 17. Each of the two hinging recesses 21, 22 is elongated in a first elongation direction, which is transverse to a second elongation direction in which the bumper 4 is elongated. The two hinging recesses 21, 22 are extending spaced apart alongside one another.
In the embodiment of Figs. 1-4 the internal impact absorbing air chamber 12 in the assembled condition of the protection device 1 of Fig. 4 is hermetically separated from the outside environment of the protection device 1.
Reference is now made to the other embodiment of Figs. 5-6 relating to the protection device 101.
The only difference between the protection device 101 of Figs. 5-6 and the protection device 1 of Figs. 1-4 is that the protection device 101 has the additional pressure release recess portion 14. In the assembled condition of the protection device 101 this pressure release recess portion 14 is closed off by the bumper attachment side 6 of the mounting strip 3 to form a pressure release passage which is narrowed relative to other parts of the internal impact absorbing air chamber of the protection device 101. As seen in the side view of Fig. 6, said pressure release passage formed by the pressure release recess portion 14 opens towards the outside environment of the protection device 1, thereby forming a pressure release valve of the internal impact absorbing air chamber of the protection device 101. Accordingly, as opposed to the embodiment of the protection device 101 of Figs. 1-4, the internal impact absorbing air chamber of the protection device 101 of Figs. 5-6 is not hermetically separated from the outside environment of the protection device 101.
The invention can be practiced with many various materials, many various shapes and many various dimensions of the protection device, as long as the protection device is within the scope of the appended claims. Typical dimensions, and applicable practical ranges of such dimensions may, for example, be as follows.
Overall thickness of the protection device, as measured in the above-mentioned “perpendicular viewing direction”, could be between 5 mm and 20 mm, while overall width of the protection device in the above-mentioned “first elongation direction” could be between 30 mm and 80 mm, and while overall length of the protection device in the above-mentioned “second elongation direction” could be between 100 mm and 500 mm. In case the bumper of the protection device has the above- mentioned central bumper portion and the above-mentioned peripheral bumper portion surrounding the central bumper portion, the overall thickness of the central bumper portion, as measured in the above-mentioned “perpendicular viewing direction”, could be between 5 mm and 20 mm, while the overall thickness of the peripheral bumper portion, as measured in the above-mentioned “perpendicular viewing direction” could be between 1 mm and 4 mm.
