Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of making available bicycles provided with identification means, which are present and locked in position in storage places comprising a limited number of storage positions, wherein a control system controls the storage places and storage positions, possibly receives or registers payments and locks and unlocks bicycles.
- Such methods are known, inter alia from plans to have the bicycles form part of a public transport scheme in an urban area, whereby the users can take bicycles from a storage facility after identification and/or payment and ride them to a next storage facility.
- the drawback of the known methods is that in practice too many bicycles will arrive at certain storage places at the same time, for example near destinations which are popular at that moment, as a result of which not all of said bicycles can be stored in the storage place and use by unauthorized persons becomes possible.
- the control system will no longer know the location of the bicycles and the bicycles will be reported missing.
- the whereabouts of the bicycles are unknown and that it is no longer possible to carry out control measures to ensure that bicycles will be available at all storage places at all times.
- the object of the invention is to overcome the above drawback and in order to accomplish that objective the user inputs the storage place he wishes to ride to into the control system via a communication module, and a bicycle is unlocked after an empty storage position has been reserved at that storage place.
- control system indicates the storage places where storage positions are available after the user has stated his destination via the communication module, and furthermore the control system indicates what storage places located near a particular destination have more or fewer storage positions available by displaying different rental prices.
- the control system is able to ensure that sufficient bicycles will be available at as many storage places as possible at all times, and also that there will be sufficient storage positions to be reserved at the storage places at all times.
- control system activates a signalling device at a storage place when most storage positions or all storage positions are occupied or have been reserved.
- the reservation of the storage position is cancelled by the control system after an adjustable period of time.
- Cancelling the reservation if the bicycle has not come in after a predetermined period of time will prevent situations where a reservation is maintained unnecessarily long if the bicycle is not left behind at a storage place by the user, which may prevent other users going to that particular storage place.
- control system unlocks the bicycle by releasing the locking means forming part of the storage position, after which the user unlocks the bicycle by moving the locking means.
- the control system locks the bicycle by blocking the locking means forming part of the storage position after the user has placed the bicycle into the locking means and moved it to the locking position. Improper use of the bicycles is prevented by this measure .
- the invention furthermore comprises a device for placing and locking bicycles into an unmanned storage place comprising a plurality of storage positions provided with locking means to be operated by users.
- the locking means comprise a movable lever provided with a clamp which is capable of surrounding part of a bicycle, and which can be operated by moving the lever.
- a device which is simple to operate is obtained by operating the locking means by means of a lever, which is secured to the bicycle with a clamp.
- the lever compri- ses a locking device to be operated by the user, by means of which said lever can be locked in a closed or in an open position. Locking the lever rather than the bicycle, for example, makes it possible to provide a storage place for bicycles of various dimensions, which can be readily stand- ardized.
- the locking device is connected to a control system. This makes it possible to connect the storage facility to a payment system or to an identification system.
- the storage position is provided with reading means connected to a control system for determining the identity of the bicycle which is present in the storage position or which is to be placed into said storage position. This makes it possible to restrict the use of the storage facility to bicycles which are known to the control system.
- the locking means comprise two levers to be moved synchronously, between which a part of a bicycle can be placed and be locked in position. As a result of this the bicycle is positioned and locked in the storage position at the same time, so that the bicycles can be placed in side-by-side relationship in a compact manner .
- the locking means comprise two levers to be disposed on either side of a bicycle wheel, which levers are capable of pivoting movement about a pivot pin disposed outside the circumference of the bicycle wheel, whereby the locking operation is coupled to the pivoting movement of the levers.
- the levers can be caused to make the movement required for said locking in a simple manner by moving the bicycle.
- the lever is provided with an electrical contact connected to the control system, which connects the control system to a bicycle after the bicycle has been placed between the levers.
- the invention furthermore comprises a bicycle to be used in the above-described bicycle storage facility, wherein bushes, possibly of a hardened material, are mounted on an axle, which bushes are capable of co-operation with two levers which form part of a bicycle storage facility, whereby each lever comprises a lockable clamping device, which is capable of co-operation with said bushes, and whereby said bushes are configured such that they cannot be removed from the front wheel axle when the bicycle is placed between the levers.
- Nearly all bicycle axles have the same dimensions and constitute that part of the bicycle which can be secured in a simple manner.
- the bushes are fully rounded on the outer side, and they are configured as nuts or comprise a nut which is screwed onto the axle. This makes it impossible to remove the part of the bicycle that is secured in the fork, and the bicycle cannot be removed without detaching the clamping device.
- a contact point is provided on the inner side of a bush. As a result of this a microprocessor or a battery present in the bicycle can be connected to the control system in a simple manner.
- Fig. 1 diagrammatically shows a number of storage places ;
- Fig. 2 diagrammatically shows a storage position and a bicycle placed therein;
- Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the front wheel axle of a bicycle, as it can be locked in a storage position;
- Figs. 4 and 5 show the storage position and the locking device, wherein the bicycle is moved down upon being locked;
- Figs. 6 and 7 show a storage position corresponding with Figs. 4 and 5, wherein the bicycle is moved up upon being locked;
- Figs. 8 - 12 show the blocking of the locking engagement ; and Fig. 13 shows the blocking of the locking engagement in a second embodiment thereof .
- Fig. 1 shows a number of storage places 1 compri- sing storage positions 3 for storing bicycles which can be lent to people.
- the user thereby takes a bicycle from a first storage place 1 and goes to a second storage place 1 located elsewhere in the town in question, where he places the bicycle into an empty storage position 3 again.
- the storage position 3 in second storage place 1 is reserved before the bicycle can be taken out of the first storage place.
- the various storage places are in communication with each other via an information network 2, and the various operations that are required are carried out by means of a control system 6.
- the user identifies himself via a control panel 4 and states his destination.
- the control system 6 verifies whether the user is authorized to borrow a bicycle and whether empty storage positions 3 are available in the storage place 1 located near said destination. If there are empty storage positions 3 which have not been reserved yet, one of said positions will be reserved for the bicycle to be lent to the user, and a bicycle will released, after which the user can take the bicycle out of storage position 3.
- the control panel 4 will also display other storage places 1 located near his destination, whereby also the amounts that will be charged for the various destinations will be shown.
- the control system 6 thereby calculates the charges on the basis of the number of empty storage positions 3 which have not been reserved yet, whereby the charges will be lower if there are many empty storage positions 3 which have not been reserved yet.
- a signalling device which for example comprises a warning light 5, is provided at storage place 1 in order to draw the users' attention to this.
- Fig. 2 shows a bicycle which is stored in a storage position 14.
- Bicycle 8 is provided with a battery 7, a lighting system 9 and a transponder 10, by means of which the bicycle in question can be identified.
- Each storage position comprises two synchronously moving supporting legs 11, between which a front wheel hub 18 (see Fig. 3) of bicycle 8 is fixed in a manner yet to be indicated hereafter.
- Supporting legs 11 are capable of pivoting movement about a pivot pin 13, whereby said pivoting about pivot pin 13 causes front wheel hub 18 to be locked in supporting legs
- Said pivoting movement can be blocked by means of a blocking system comprising a drive shaft 15, by means of which a number of storage positions 14 can be blocked at the same time.
- An antenna 12 is mounted on one of the supporting legs 11, by means of which antenna transponder 10 can be read.
- other configurations may be used for identifying bicycle 8, for example a configuration comprising a bar code reader, which reads a bar code affixed to bicycle 8.
- bicycle 8 can be removed, whereby the lighting system may be turned on.
- the bicycle Upon arrival at the destination the bicycle is placed into an empty storage position 14, after which bicycle 8 is identified by means of antenna 12, and control system 6 determines whether a storage position 14 has been reserved for the bicycle in question. If this is the case, or if there are sufficient empty positions, bicycle 8 will be accepted, possibly with extra costs being charged in that case, whereby the blocking system releases the locking of suppor- ting legs 11 and the bicycle can be pushed forward, whereupon it is fixed in position between supporting legs 11.
- Fig. 3 shows the front wheel hub 18, which is mounted in a front fork 17.
- bushes 16 and 19 Mounted on the axle of front wheel hub 18 are bushes 16 and 19, which are for example made of a hardened material, and which ensure that the axle of front fork 18 of a bicycle 8 present in storage position 14 cannot be unscrewed from fork 17.
- a plug of plastic material is provided in bush 19, which plug comprises an electrical contact, by means of which voltage can be supplied to battery 7, so that sufficient voltage will be available for lighting system 9 and transponder 10 at all times.
- electrical contacts 20 may be provided in both bushes 16 and 19, possibly for the supply of electric power to battery 7, but also for communication between control system 6 and a microprocessor present on the bicycle, which also carries out the identification of bicycle 8, for example, instead of transponder 10.
- bushes 16 and/or 19 said bushes consist of two mutually isolated parts, which come into contact with different parts of supporting legs 11 or the locking device present therein. Furthermore transponder 10 may be accommodated in said bushes, whereby the transpon- der is protected by a supporting leg 11 and bush 16 or bush 19 during storage.
- Figs. 4 and 5 are detailed views of the supporting leg 11 shown in Fig. 2, whereby Fig. 4 shows the open position of supporting leg 11 at 24.
- a locking slide 26 is slidably provided in a sleeve 23.
- Locking slide 25 is provided with a recess 21, which slide is capable of cooperation with a locking slot 22 in sleeve 23.
- a bush 16 or 19 can be inserted into recess 21 from the right or from the left.
- Locking slide 25 is moved by means of lever 26, which is attached to the housing of the pivot pin of the supporting leg. Also attached to said pivot pin are a first rocker 28 and a second rocker 30, which are actuated by a cam disc 29 comprising a shaft, which rockers 28 and 30 interact with a blocking pin 31 attached to sleeve 23.
- the operation of the rockers and blocking pin 31 will be discus- sed hereafter with reference to Figs. 8 - 12.
- each storage position is fitted with an independently driven locking device, whereby it is possible to verify at all times, also in a central position 32, whether only one bicycle is being placed into the storage position in question or removed therefrom.
- Figs. 6 and 7 show the same supporting leg 11 as Figs. 4 and 5, whereby bicycle 8 is moved upwards upon being locked.
- the handlebars of the bicycles 8 present in storage positions 3 will be positioned at different heights, as a result of which bicycles 8 can be placed closer together and storage places 1 will occupy less space.
- Figs. 8 - 12 show how the movement of supporting leg 11 about pivot pin 13 is blocked.
- the cam disc comprising shaft 29 is shown in a neutral position 34, a first released position 35, and a second released position 36.
- the pivoting movement of supporting leg 11 can be blocked by rockers 28 and 30, in that said rockers stop blocking pin 31.
- Rockers 28 and 30 and blocking pin 31 are only shown diagrammatically, they are for example pressed against cam disc 29 by means of springs (not shown) .
- In the neutral position 34 the movement of supporting leg 11 is blocked, in the first released position 35 supporting leg 11 can only move from the open position 24 to the central position 32 and vice versa, and in the second released position 36 supporting leg 11 can only move from the closed position 33 to the central position 32 and vice versa .
- the movements of the two coupled supporting legs 11 are detected by sensors (not shown) , which are connected to control system 6, and when a bicycle is being placed or removed from the storage position, the locking engagement is not released before it is ensured that supporting legs 11 are in their central position.
- Fig. 13 shows the blocking of the movement of supporting leg 11 about pivot pin 13 in a second embodiment thereof.
- Supporting leg 11 having a central axis 40 is attached to a disc 41, to the outer circumference of which a cam 42 is attached.
- the pivoting movement of supporting leg 11 about pivot pin 13 is limited in that cam 42 strikes one of the stops 43.
- the supporting leg is maintained in an extreme position in that a catch 44 is moved towards disc 41 by a spring 46 after cam 42 has passed, thus blocking the pivoting movement.
- the position of catch 44, on which a magneto 51 is mounted, is detected by means of a sensor 52, which is mounted on a control module 48.
- the control system thus knows whether supporting leg 11 is locked or not.
- the detection of the position of supporting leg 11 takes place by detecting the position of disc 41 and the magneto 49 mounted thereon by means of a sensor 50.
- Each storage position 14 may be fitted with its own separate control module 48, or one control module 48 may be provided for each storage place 1, all control modules 48 are connected to the central control system 6, however, so that the system will know whether a storage position 14 is locked or not.
- Control module 48 is connected, in a manner not shown, to a contact point in supporting leg 11, which is capable of establishing a connection with a bicycle 8 to be placed between supporting legs 11.
- Bicycles 8 are used by commuters, whereby fifty per cent of the commuters live near the station where storage place 1 is located, and the other fifty per cent of the commuters work in the place in question. In this way fifty per cent of the bicycles will be present at the addresses where the users work or live, whilst the other fifty per cent may be present in a storage position 3.
- the storage positions 3 are released by the control system of the storage place 1 if the bicycle 8 is recognized and is authorized to use the storage facility.
- the control system may thereby be programmed in such a manner that the place is for example only released before or after a predetermined point in time.
