Definitions

  • the invention relates to roof racks with a fastening device for at least one bicycle and to such a fastening device according to the preamble of the independent claims.
  • Roof racks of this type for mounting on automobiles are known in various designs.
  • the bike is usually held on the frame with a clamp.
  • the operation of such roof racks is quite tedious, since the clip is difficult to access.
  • the roof rack must be precisely adapted to the respective frame shape of the bicycle.
  • the bicycle is held against tilting on one or both wheels by two lateral holding members, so that an additional fastening to the frame can be omitted.
  • the holding members can be moved relative to one another. Since the holding members engage in the area of the wheels, they are also easily accessible on the car roof, which makes operation easier. Since the wheel shape of most bicycles is comparable, the roof rack can be used for a wide variety of bicycle types without adaptation or with only a slight adaptation.
  • the holding members should preferably not only form a lateral holder but also a longitudinal stop for the respective wheel, so that the wheel is prevented from rolling away even without additional fastening.
  • the holding members each comprise two curved L-profiles. These follow the periphery of the desired wheel position and on the one hand form a lateral stop, on the other hand a storage surface and a longitudinal stop for the wheel. If one of the holding members can be pivoted for each wheel, the holding members can grip the wheel in a clamp movement.
  • a pair of holding members is provided for each wheel of the bicycle, the holding members being rigidly connected to one another. This allows both wheels to be attached or detached in one operation.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a roof rack according to the invention with a bicycle in the transport position
  • FIG. 2 shows the roof rack of FIG. 1 in the open position
  • FIG. 3 shows a side view of the roof rack, only the wheels of the bicycle being shown
  • FIG. 4 shows a section along line IV-IV of FIG. 3,
  • FIG. 5 is a front view of the roof rack of Figure 3.
  • FIG. 6 shows the roof rack from FIG. 5 in the opened position.
  • the basic structure and the mode of operation of a preferred embodiment of the roof rack according to the invention result from FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the roof rack shown here comprises a conventional substructure with cross struts 1 and holding elements 2 which are fastened on the roof of a vehicle 3.
  • the fastening device for a bicycle 4 is placed thereon.
  • the fastening device has two pairs 5 of clamping jaws 6-9, which encompass the wheels 10, 11 of the bicycle. In the transport position shown in FIG. 1, the clamping jaws 6-9 are closed and hold the bicycle 4 on the wheels 10, 11.
  • Two locking straps 12, 13, which extend around the clamping jaws and the respective wheel serve as a backup.
  • the fastening device for the bicycle comprises two parallel, longitudinally extending hollow profiles 20, 21 which are fastened to the cross struts 1 on four slides 19.
  • the slides 19 can be released and moved along the cross struts 1, so that the hollow profiles 20, 21 can be positioned independently of one another, as is indicated by the arrows 22.
  • the position of the bicycle on the vehicle roof can thus be determined. If necessary, the distance between the hollow profiles can also be changed, which allows adaptation to wheels of unusual thickness.
  • Four curved rods 24-27 are inserted into the end of the hollow profiles 20, 21.
  • the position of the rods 24-27 in the hollow profiles 20, 21 is determined by a pin inserted into a hole pattern 28.
  • Each curved rod 24-27 carries one of the clamping jaws 6-9.
  • the clamping jaws are also curved and shaped as L-profiles.
  • the long legs 30 of the L-profiles rest against the wheels 10 and 11, while the short legs 31 essentially follow the wheel circumference.
  • the jaws with the long legs 30 form a lateral holder.
  • the short legs 31 form the base and a longitudinal stop for the wheels.
  • the connection between the L-legs can also be rounded instead of a rectangular configuration.
  • the locking straps 12, 13 already mentioned are provided to secure the bicycle in the transport position.
  • Each fastener tape extends around two clamping jaws 6, 7 or 8, 9 and through the spokes of one of the wheels 10, 11. It holds the clamping jaws together and at the same time prevents the bicycle from jumping out.
  • One or both of the fastener tapes can be used with one
  • Be provided with a lock that allows locking to provide theft protection for the bicycle.
  • the locking straps 12, 13 are loosened (see FIG. 6), and the two outer clamping jaws 7, 9 are turned outward about a horizontal tilting axis 33 which is parallel to the bicycle (ie perpendicular to the bicycle axes 36) pivoted.
  • the outer hollow profile 21 is fastened to the slide 19 via hinges 32.
  • the jaws 7 and 9 thus together form a pivotable, rigid unit.
  • a side stop 34 shown only in FIG. 6 limits the opening angle and supports the the outer jaws 7, 9. It ensures a secure hold of the bicycle 4 even in the inclined position shown in FIG. This simplifies the operation of the device, since the bicycle can be very easily removed from the V-shaped holder or inserted into it.
  • two clamping jaws 6, 7 and 8, 9 respectively form a clamp-like holding element which holds the respective wheel 10, 11 in a desired position.
  • the jaws should therefore preferably engage the wheel so high that lateral tilting forces can be safely absorbed.
  • the clamping jaws do not necessarily have to have the advantageous shape of curved L-profiles shown here, as long as they can securely fix the wheel laterally.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une galerie permettant d'attacher des vélos sur un véhicule (3), qui comprend quatre pinces (6-9), chaque paire maintenant une roue (10, 11) du vélo (4). Pour enlever ce dernier du système de fixation, on commence par ouvrir deux bandes de sécurité (12, 13). On peut alors faire basculer vers le bas en même temps les deux pinces extérieures (7, 9) autour d'un axe horizontal, ce qui libère le vélo. La galerie est facile à installer sur le toit d'une voiture et facile à enlever, et elle convient pour différents types de bicyclettes.
