Description

The utility model refers to auxiliary devices/devices for fixing and placing third-party objects (including sports equipment) on a vehicle (car, boat, airplane, helicopter, etc.) without making structural changes to the body, fuselage and skin of the vehicle.

Various devices for placing various third-party objects on a vehicle are known from the prior art.

For example, from the source RU 171212 U1, publ. 05/24/2017, a device for fixing a bicycle on the upper part of a vehicle body is known.

However, the disadvantage of this device is the insufficient reliability of fastening the bicycle, as well as the ability to place the bicycle only in a certain position, which is not always convenient.

Also known from the prior art is the source of information CN 210062850 U, publ. 02/14/2020, a device is known for fixing sports equipment (bicycle) on the body of a vehicle (car), which, due to the presence of a suction cup, allows you to fix the device in any desired place on the car body.

However, the disadvantage of this technical solution is the inability to fix several bicycles on the body and this function requires additional equipment.

Also known from the prior art (source CN 211107205 U, published on July 28, 2020) is a device that provides the ability to fix several bicycles in convenient places on the vehicle body.

This source of information is taken as the closest analogue to the claimed technical solution.

However, the disadvantage of the closest analogue and the entire known level of technology is the rather large dimensions and massiveness of the device, which fixes several pieces of sports equipment in a convenient place in the vehicle body.

Thus, the objective of the claimed utility model is to eliminate the shortcomings of the prior art.

The technical result that the claimed utility model is aimed at achieving is a reduction in the overall and weight characteristics of the device, which ensures the placement and reliable long-term fixation of several third-party objects anywhere in the vehicle body.

This technical result is fully achieved by the combination of features stated in the independent claim of the utility model.

In this application, “third-party items” mean any equipment, including sports equipment, and any items intended for transportation, maintenance and placement on the body or fuselage of the vehicle.

In this application, “vehicle body, fuselage” refers to the outer skin of any land, water or air vehicle, for example, a car, airplane, helicopter, boat and others.

A device for fixing foreign objects on a vehicle consists of suction cups on which adapters with vacuum pumps are installed, to which a base is attached on its lower side using fasteners, on the upper side of which brackets for fastening foreign objects using fixing elements are fixedly mounted using fasteners . The base is made of polyamide plate.

Suction cups are made of rubber or silicone.

There are release lugs on the outer sides of the suction cups.

The brackets are made of metal.

Further, the declared model is illustrated in more detail by drawings, in which:

Figure 1 shows the claimed device (version 1).

Figure 2 shows the claimed device (version 2).

Figure 3 shows the claimed device (version 3).

Figure 4 shows a photograph with a bicycle mounted on the claimed device on the roof of a car.

Figure 5 shows a photograph of an embodiment of the claimed device for three bicycles with three bicycles placed.

Figure 6 shows a photograph with a bicycle and a wheel placed on two versions of the claimed device.

Figure 7 shows a photograph with bicycles and wheels placed on variants of the claimed device.

The claimed device consists of suction cups (1), adapters (2), base (3), mounting brackets (4) and fastening elements (5).

Suction cups (1) are installed on adapters (2), in which pumps are installed, designed for stationary fixation of adapters (2) on the surface of the body, fuselage, vehicle by creating a vacuum between the suction cup (1) and the body, fuselage of the vehicle. A base (3) made of a polyamide plate is attached to the adapters (2) with the help of fasteners (5) on its lower side, on the upper side of which brackets (4) are fixed with the help of fasteners (5), intended for the stationary fixation of third-party objects ( sports equipment and more). The brackets (4) are made of metal and contain fixing elements designed for fastening specific elements of third-party objects (wheel, bicycle fork, skis, etc.).

The base (3), made of a polyamide plate, is a product of anionic polymerization carried out directly in the casting mold in the presence of alkaline catalysts and activators. By making the base (3) from a polyamide plate and due to the properties of the material, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the base (3) to 8 mm, maintaining all the strength and rigidity characteristics necessary to perform the assigned functions, while ensuring the possibility of reliable fixation of foreign objects anywhere in the vehicle body means on which it is possible to attach the suction cups (1), even if the installation sites of the suction cups are not located in the same plane. The base material (3) provides additional damping of vibrations and distortions of foreign objects when the vehicle moves, which ensures reliable and long-term fixation of foreign objects, for example, a bicycle, on the vehicle body, without causing damage to the structure and paintwork of the vehicle.

Installation and operation of third-party items is carried out as follows (as an example in this application, a bicycle was chosen as a third-party item, but any other object can be fixed to the body of a vehicle, and a car body is taken as an example of a vehicle body):

The claimed device is installed on the roof/trunk/window of the car body with suction cups to the body. Using vacuum pumps located on the adapters of each suction cup, air is pumped out from the space between the suction cups and the body, and the base is attracted to the body. In the bracket, parts (front fork, wheel) of the bicycle are fixed in the fixing elements (holes, threaded elements, etc.). This ensures reliable fixation of the bicycle on the car body. When the car moves, under the influence of the oncoming air flow, the bicycle begins to deviate and the higher the speed of the car, the stronger the impact of the oncoming air flow on the bicycle, causing it to deviate against the movement of the car. Due to the presence of suction cups made of elastic material and the base made of polyamide, compensation for the indicated deviations and vibrations of the bicycle is ensured.

The claimed device is disconnected from the car body using protrusions located on the outer sides of the suction cups, with the help of which air is introduced into the space between the suction cup and the car body.

The use of the claimed device was tested in tests, the results of which showed reliable fixation of the bicycle when the car was moving both at significant speed and over rough terrain.

When using the claimed device, no damage to car body parts occurs due to the suction cups being made of elastic material (rubber, silicone) and the base being made of polyamide.

Thus, the above design of the claimed device fully ensures the achievement of the stated technical result.

The claimed device can be designed for attaching various third-party objects and their parts to a vehicle in varying quantities depending on the consumer’s requirements.

The claimed utility model is new, since the totality of its essential features is unknown from the prior art, and, accordingly, meets the patentability condition of “novelty”.

The claimed utility model meets the patentability requirement of “industrial applicability”, since it can be used in industry.

Although the present utility model has been disclosed with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, this is not intended to limit the present utility model, those skilled in the art may modify and implement the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, therefore , the scope of protection of a real utility model should be regulated by the scope specified in the formula of the utility model.
