Implementation of the invention

The elements of the device are made of cold-rolled steel. First, all blanks are cut with laser equipment, then bending takes place on CNC machines. Next, the parts are processed and cleaned. Small parts such as the trigger of the locking mechanism 13, the latch of the latch of the locking mechanism 12 are additionally finished in a special machine to be smooth on all sides. The next stage is welding of parts, then painting and assembly of painted parts. The packaging for the goods is made individually.

The operation of the device for securing the transported motorcycle is as follows. The base of the device 15 for fixing and the base of the first vertical element 21 of the beam type are interconnected telescopically and fixed with two tie bolts 22 and 23, through the stop 20 for the rigidity of fastening the lower latch 8. The heads of the bolts 22 and 23 are made with the possibility of installation in square holes, square holes 16 in the base of the device 15 are spaced apart in height for secure fixation of the motorcycle. With the help of them, the desired mounting height is selected for secure fixation, depending on the model, size and softness / rigidity of the suspension. The blocking unit, operatively connected with the base of the first vertical element 21 and with the base of the upper vertical latch 3 holes in the base of each of them, is made with the possibility of lowering down the upper latch 1, using the gas lift 5 installed inside the fastening 4, to the lowest position limited by the stop 14 on the rod 7 of the gas lift 5, in which the hole 18 in the base 3 of the upper latch 1 will coincide with the hole 19 in the base 21 of the lower latch 8. locking mechanism 11 pressed by the trigger 13 held by the spring 17.

By pressing down on the upper latch 1, the gas lift 5 is compressed, the lock of the latch 12 slides along the beam of the base 3 of the upper latch 1 until the hole 18 coincides with the hole 19 in the base of the lower latch 8. If these holes 18 and 19 coincide, the lock of the latch 12 is fixed in both of these holes by lowering the trigger 13 and the locking mechanism 11.

When the upper latch 1 is lifted from the “closed” position, the trigger 13 of the locking mechanism is pressed upward until it coincides with the locking mechanism 11 and the latch of the latch 12 releases the hole 18 of the upper latch 1 and the hole 19 of the lower latch 8, the gas lift 5 begins to open smoothly due to the rubber seal 6 , pushing up the upper latch 1 to the "open" position.

The operation of the method of using the device for securing a transportable motorcycle is as follows.

If it is necessary to transport the motorcycle from point A to point B, it is necessary to install devices for securing the width and height suitable for a particular motorcycle, on a trailer or in a van. The distance at which two bases 15 are to be set parallel to each other is to be measured from one footrest of the motorcycle to the other. It is necessary to measure approximately in the middle of the footboard, where the widest part of the footboard ends and its narrowing begins. The pre-adjustment of the installation width in the mating bolted connection 25 of the bases 15 of the two fixing devices is performed in the support rail platform 24 on the floor of the vehicle. Each base 15 is attached to four bolts. It is possible to mount base 15 directly on the floor of a trailer or van. The thickness of such a floor must be at least 18 mm. After that, you need to choose the height of the mounts for the motorcycle so that it stands slightly pressed down on the shock absorbers. The footrests of the motorcycle should rest against the upper latch 1, pressing a little upwards into the rubber stops 2. To do this, measure the height from the floor to the footrest by pressing the suspension of the motorcycle 4-5 cm down. Support for fixing the motorcycle in a vertical position is performed, with preliminary adjustment of the height of fixing to the footrest of the motorcycle, in the mating bolted connection of the base of the device 15 for fixing and the base of the first vertical element 21 of the beam type of the support beam of fastening according to claim 1.

The motorcycle is rolled up in the middle between two bases 15, until the motorcycle steps are in the middle of the lower latch 8 with a rubber seal 9. Next, the motorcycle is fixed by pressing down on the upper latch 1, which will smoothly lower down with the help of the gas lift 5 installed inside to the lowest position at which the hole of the upper latch 18 coincides with the hole of the lower latch 19. At the same time, a click will sound, confirming the “closed” position.
