Abstract

A parking device for light cycles, particularly bicycles, is disclosed. To protect such vehicles from theft, tampering and the weather, the device enables a cycle to be lifted up and held in the raised position in a protective parking space (2) enabling pedestrians to move about freely and safely at ground level, then lowered again when required by its owner. The device consists of a vertical member (1) containing a driving and guiding mechanism, a cycle protecting member located in the upper portion of the vertical member (1), a carriage (3) operated by the driving mechanism and guided by said vertical member (1), and a member arranged outside the vertical member and secured to said carriage (3) for supporting one wheel of the cycle by means of a frame mounting member (mounting bar) (4). Said device is mainly for use as a modular construction on a façade or as a circular construction forming street furniture.

Description

Description Description
Dispositif de parcage aérien de véhicules légers.Aerial parking device for light vehicles.
L'invention concerne un dispositif de parcage de véhicules légers notamment de bicyclettes.The invention relates to a device for parking light vehicles, in particular bicycles.
On connaît les parkings classiques formés d'arceaux métalliques entre lesquels on vient placer une roue des cycles. Certains systèmes de parcage permettent de suspendre par un crochet les cycles en position verticale par l'une de leur roue. D'autres modes de parcages maintiennent le cadre du cycle. Ces dispositifs accaparent une surface importante au sol et ne permettent pas de protéger suffisamment les cycles contre le vol, les dégradations et la malveillance.We know the classic car parks formed by metal arches between which we place a wheel of cycles. Some parking systems allow the cycles to be suspended in a vertical position by one of their wheels. Other parking modes maintain the framework of the cycle. These devices take up a large surface area on the ground and do not allow cycles to be sufficiently protected against theft, damage and malicious acts.
La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients. Elle assure d'une part le parcage du cycle à une hauteur telle qu'elle laisse le passage libre à toute circulation piétonne. Elle permet le parcage sous un abπ protecteur, hors de portée des passants. Ce dispositif dont la conception permet une installation modulaire peut être monté en façade d'immeuble. Il peut comporter des accessoires qui en agrémentent l'utilisation et l'incoφoration architecturale: pour exemple non limitatif: éclairage, support de végétation, panneaux de publicité. Le dispositif de parcage selon l'invention est constitué d'un élément vertical de plusieurs mètres de haut et dans sa partie supérieure d'un espace de protection du cycle. L'élément est conçu de telle façon qu'il permet le guidage de roulement d'un chaπol entraîné par un mécanisme d'entraînement. Une ouverture longitudinale de l'élément permet au chanot roulant d'être solidansé à un élément de maintien du cycle appelé arceau de fixation placé à l'extérieur. L'arceau de fixation est conçu de telle façon qu'il permet la fixation et le maintien de la jante d'un cycle quel que soit son diamètre. L'arceau de fixation supporte aussi un axe extensible monté sur articulation permettant d'assurer un maintien du cadre du cycle éventuellement assorti d'un système antivol. On conçoit que le principe d'élever le véhicule pour l'amener en position de garage libère complètement l'espace de passage au sol. Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le mécanisme de levée maintient en position haute le chariot et l'arceau de fixation. La descente du chariot est actionnée par l'introduction d'une clef ou d'un code électronique connu du seul utilisateur. Il garantit la sécurité du passant et empêche toute personne autre que le propriétaire d'atteindre le cycle ainsi garé. Selon une caractéristique de l'invention plusieurs modules de parcage peuvent être combinés pour permettre le garage d'autant de cycles. La combinaison peut être sur une même face ou sur des faces opposées ou même en disposition circulaire partielle ou totale.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks. On the one hand, it ensures that the cycle is parked at a height such that it gives free passage to all pedestrian traffic. It allows parking under a protective abπ, out of the reach of passers-by. This device, the design of which allows modular installation, can be mounted on the front of a building. It may include accessories that enhance the use and architectural incoφoration: for non-limiting example: lighting, support for vegetation, advertising panels. The parking device according to the invention consists of a vertical element several meters high and in its upper part of a cycle protection space. The element is designed in such a way that it allows the rolling guide of a chaπol driven by a drive mechanism. A longitudinal opening of the element allows the rolling chanot to be secured to a cycle maintenance element called the fixing hoop placed outside. The fixing hoop is designed in such a way that it allows the fixing and the maintenance of the rim of a cycle whatever its diameter. The fixing hoop also supports an extendable pin mounted on a hinge to ensure maintenance of the cycle frame possibly accompanied by an anti-theft system. It is understandable that the principle of raising the vehicle to bring it to the garage position completely frees the passage space on the ground. According to a characteristic of the invention, the lifting mechanism keeps the carriage and the fixing arch in the high position. The descent of the carriage is activated by the introduction of a key or an electronic code known only to the user. It guarantees the safety of the passer-by and prevents anyone other than the owner from reaching the cycle thus parked. According to a characteristic of the invention, several parking modules can be combined to allow the garage for as many cycles. The combination can be on the same side or on opposite sides or even in partial or total circular arrangement.
