Definitions
- the invention concerns support means, that is an implement for supporting an object, particularly a two-wheel vehicle, such as a bicycle.
- the prior art comprises wor tables on which bicycles are positioned for maintenance, or disassembly of parts that are to be repaired or substituted.
- support means particularly, but not exclusively, for a bicycle frame, comprising a base, a support body projecting upwards from said base and clamp means for clamping a portion of an object to be supported.
- clamp means makes the clamping of a portion of a bicycle frame body particularly easy and stable.
- the support body has an elongated shape and the base consists of swinging feet, which are hinged in such a way as to be rotatable from an open position to a closed position, at which the feet are folded along the outer surface of the support body.
- the support body is telescopic so that the overall dimensions of the support means may be considerably further reduced in the closed position.
- clamp means are advantageously provided with angularly positioning means, in order to allow an user to position in the most convenient way the object to be supported.
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a support implement in an open operative condition
- Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of a support implement in a closed transport condition
- Figure 3 is an interrupted and enlarged, longitudinal section of a clamp fixed at an end of a support arm of the implement, in an open condition;
- Figure 4 is a section as in figure 3, but showing the clamp only, in a closed condition
- Figure 5 is a section through a line V-V in Figure 3;
- Figures 6 and 7 are front interrupted views of the clamp in a closed condition on a tubular element
- Figure 8 is an enlarged and interrupted section of an upper portion of the body of the support implement
- Figure 9 is a longitudinal section of a lower portion of the body of the implement.
- Figure 10 is a section through a line X-X in figure 9.
- a support implement 1 comprises a base 2 consisting of three feet 3 each provided with an angled end 7 hinged to an end element 4 of a tubular body 5 by means of a respective pin 6 .
- the angled ends 7 are arranged in such a way as to allow a ring 8 to be coupled to the outer surface of the feet 3, in order to keep them in an open condition, and to allow the feet
- the tubular body 5 is telescopic, i.e. the tubular body 5 accommodates a further tubular body 9 which is slidable at the inside of the tubular body 5 and may be locked by ring nut locking means 10 fixed at the end of the tubular body 5 opposite to the end element 4.
- the further tubular body 9 is provided, at its end projecting from the tubular body 5, with a hinge joint 11 connected to an arm 20 which may be rotated through 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the tubular bodies 5 and 9, in order to reach a position substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis and substantially parallel to the surface on which the feet 3 rest, when the implement 1 is in the open condition.
- the hinge joint 11 When the arm 20 in in said position, the hinge joint 11 is positioned in such a way ad to prevent the arm 20 from returning into the tubular body 5.
- the end of the arm 20 opposite to the hinge joint -11 is provided with clamp means comprising a pair of jaws 13 which may be opened and closed by means of a lever 13 acting on a screw 15.
- Figure 2 illustrates, in particular, that the end of the arm 20 bearing the clamp means 12 is provided, at the base of the clamp means 12, with a stop disk 16 free to make limited axial movements on the arm 20, due to the action of a return spring 17, which passes through a hole 41 of the disk 16 and connects a pin 40 of the disk 16 to the hinge means 11 through a fixing screw 42 connected to the hinge means 11. Said movements allows an outer rim 18 of the disk 16 turned towards the hinge means 11 to engage the ends 19 of the feet 3 when the implement 1 is in the closed condition.
- Figure 3 illustrates that the disk 16 is fixed to the body 21 of the clamp means 12, a nut 30, fixed to the body 21 and to one of the jaws 13, engaging an end portion of the screw 15.
- the other jaw 13 is supported to a mobile guide body 22 which engages the other end of the screw 15 and may be drawn in a direction F along the axis of the screw, to open or close the jaws 13.
- a conical spring 29 wounded on the screw 15 is interposed between the jaws 13, in order to keep the jaws spaced apart from one another.
- the jaws 13 have an inner surface 23 shaped in such a way as to allow the jaws 13 clamp a bicycle frame element 24.
- Angularly positioning means 25 capable of angularly positioning the clamp means 12 with respect to the arm 20 are provided on the surface of the disk 16 opposite to the clamp means 12.
- the angularly positioning means 25 comprises a tubular element extending at the inside of the arm 20 and centred with respect to the arm 20 by means of rings 26.
- the end of the tubular element opposite to the disk 16 is provided with indentations 27 large enough to engage an appendix 28 projecting from an end of the hinge means 11, said appendix consisting advantageously of a screw peg.
- the clamp means 12 are drawn-out from the arm 20 against the action of the spring 17, it is possible to rotate them with respect to the arm 20 in order to position the jaws 13 in a desired position with respect to the surface on which the feet 3 rest.
- This makes possible to adjust angularly the position of the frame element 24 in the direction shown by the arrows FI in Figures 6 and 7, or in the opposite direction, so that the user may position easily the bicycle for maintenance or for repairing parts of the bicycle.
- the particular shape of the angularly positioning means 25 allows a stable angular position to be obtained, said position being kept steady by the coupling of one of the indentations 27 with the appendix 28.
- the ring nut locking means 10 comprises a ring nut body 31 which may be grasped by the user and engaged in a screwed portion 32 of a sleeve 33 secured by means of a screw 35 to an end of the tubular body 5 opposite to the end provided with the feet 3.
- the ring nut body 31 is provided with a conical end 34 capable of pressing a friction element 36 against a portion of the outer surface of the arm 20.
- the friction element 36 consists of a conical bush which has a peripheral interruption making the bush elastically expandable and shrinkable and is provided with an annular relief 39 which engages a corresponding annular seat of the sleeve 33 and acts as anti-disengagement means for the bush when the arm 20 and, if necessary, the further tubular element 9 are caused to slide axially at the inside of the tubular body 5.
- Figures 9 and 10 show that the hinge pins 6 of the angled elements 7 of the feet 3 are inserted forcibly into portions of the end element defining recesses 37 capable of fitting a member 38 of each angled element 7.
- the member 38 has and outer surface comprising cylindrical portions, in order to be able to be coupled to the inner surface of the ring 8, with or without interference. All that in order to obtain a steady positioning of the angled elements 7 and feet 3 in the open position.
