Pattern description

The object of the utility model is a car trunk, preferably for transporting bicycles, intended primarily for cars with rear doors (hatchback, combi, VAN, etc.).

Car racks for transporting bicycles, commonly known are roof-mounted racks (for attaching bicycles to the roof), racks mounted on the towing hook at the rear of the car, frame racks attached to the rear of the car body with straps with catches. The above-mentioned solutions have a lot of inconvenience in use, e.g. hindering easy installation and removal of bicycles (roof ones), large-size bicycles or requiring additional car equipment (hooked-up, frame), causing a significant increase in the aerodynamic resistance of the vehicle (roof, frame - bicycles significantly protrude above the roof perpendicular to the direction of travel).

According to the utility model, the luggage compartment has one supporting beam, which is bent at an angle ranging from 110 ° to 130 °. A crossbeam with lugs is attached at its lower end, while at its upper part assuming a horizontal position, bicycle carriers are rotatably mounted. The bicycle holders have sleeves slipped over the beam, on which there are screw clamps blocking the position of the holders on the beam. The transverse beam with feet is screwed in a rotating manner to the handle at the bottom of the beam and locked with a cotter pin.

The rack according to the utility model, allows for quick mounting on the car and just as quick suspension of bicycles on it. After transporting the bikes, it can be easily removed from the car, you can easily fold it without separating its elements, put it in a cover and hide it, for example, in a car. According to the utility model, the luggage rack differs from the known luggage racks in that the bicycles are mounted on the rack, because the bikes on the rack according to the utility model are mounted on one support bar (the bikes hang), which reduces the dimensions of the rack. The transverse beam, with lugs, has a large support surface on the bodywork through the lugs with a minimum of two degrees of freedom in relation to the bar to which they are attached, which allows the lugs to adjust themselves to the shape of the body and advantageously reduce the unit pressure on the body elements. The crossbeam with feet is hinged to the support beam with a lock for the duration of use, which allows, after removing the trunk from the car, to fold the crossbar along the support beam and radically reduce the dimensions of the trunk for storage purposes.

According to the utility model, the luggage compartment in question is characterized by its simplicity of construction, easy assembly and disassembly on the car and the possibility of folding it, which enables trouble-free transport and storage.

The utility model boot is shown in the drawing, where Fig. 1 shows the mounted luggage rack to the side and rear car, Fig. 2 shows the bicycle holder in a side view, and Fig. 3 the holder in a rear view. The trunk according to the utility model consists of one supporting beam (1) made of a metal tube, bent at an angle ranging from 110 ° to 130 °, on the lower end of which is a cross member (2) with lugs (21) with the hinge (19) and the bicycle holders (7) are fastened to the horizontal position receiving part by pivoting. This allows the positioning of the bicycle holders to be changed in a pivotal manner around the longitudinal axis of the supporting beam in such a way that bicycles with a frame with a significant inclination can be transported (e.g. bicycles with a women's frame). In the place where the beam (1) is bent, on the outer side of the bend arc, there is a handle (16) to which the beam (3) is rotatably fastened with a screw (15). The beams (3) and (4) are made of two tubular profiles with a rectangular cross-section, telescopically arranged to one another, with minimal play allowing the element (4) with a smaller cross-section to slide freely from the element with a larger cross-section (3). On the side surface of the beam (3), there are adjustment holes passing through the cross-section. There is one hole in the element (4) and in the element (3) several holes of the same diameter as in the element (4), spaced at a distance of approx. 2 cm. The length of the beam with the catch is determined by inserting the split pin (14) into one of the holes in the beam (3) and the hole in the element (4). Under the element (3) of the catch beam there is a catch (8) to which an elastic tendon (9) made of non-stretchable tape is attached, the other end of which is attached to the catch (11) attached to the clamp (17) of the crossbeam (2) ). There is a self-locking adjusting hitch (10) on the pull rod (9) that allows for easy access

Claims (3)

3 PL 67 222 Υ1 change the length of the tie rod (9) and thus change the position of the luggage compartment feet on the body. At the ends of the beam (2) with feet there are tie rods (20) with catches (6). The tendons (20) are made of elastic, non-stretchable tape. The tendons are attached to the ends of the beam (2) with the lugs. At the other, lower end of the tie rods (20) there are tabs (6) made of sheet metal bent in such a way that they catch on the lower edge of the rear car door. Tensioning and releasing the hooks (6) takes place through self-locking adjusting grips (13) installed on the tie rods (20). In Figs. 2 and 3, a bicycle holder (7) is shown. There are holders (7) for bicycles on the beam (1). It is advantageous to use two handles (two bicycles) in view of the load. The holder consists of a sleeve-shaped element (28) that encloses the beam (1) without any play, but allows the holder sleeve to rotate around the support beam (1). The sleeve has a screw clamp (25) which, after setting the desired inclination of the handle (7), clamps the sleeves on the supporting beam. In the upper part of the sleeve, above it, there is a gutter (24) with a "V" cross-section on which the bicycle frame rests. The tendons that control the bike's mechanisms pass under the bicycle frame or above it, therefore the "V" shape allows for easy placement of the tendons in the holder. The gutter is positioned perpendicular to the sleeve axis and permanently connected with it. On both sides of the gutter there are screw clamps (26) and (27) that clamp the upper part of the holder (23) to the bicycle frame, also in the shape of a gutter with a cross-section like the bottom gutter. The clamp (27) is rotatably mounted in the chute yoke (24) and passes through the opening in the chute (23). This allows the upper gutter to be tilted in order to arrange the bicycle frame. The clamp (26) is rotatably mounted in the yoke of the bottom trough and passes through the half-open hole on the edge of the upper trough, which allows for tilting and removing the clamp bolt (26) from the upper trough so that the trough can be tilted upwards in order to place the bicycle frame. After installing the bike, close the upper groove on the frame, insert the clamp bolt (26) into the half-open hole and press the top groove against the frame with the clamp bolt (26).
