  • Patent application serial number 10/226437 entitled “Bicycle Wheel Holder” filed on 08/23/2002; patent application serial number 10/613,339 entitled “Handlebar/Stem Mounted Bicycle Wheel Holding Device” filed concurrently with this application; and patent application serial number 10/613,338 entitled “Bicycle Wheel Bag” also filed concurrently with this application are all commonly owned along with this application and are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.
  • This invention relates generally to a device for holding a bicycle wheel. More specifically, the invention relates to a device removably mountable to a bicycle seatpost or bicycle frame tube for carrying a bicycle wheel such as during transport of the bicycle.
  • a bracket is disclosed that is affixed to the rear dropout of a bicycle frame.
  • the axle of the front wheel is secured into a slot provided in the bracket by tightening the wheel's quick release mechanism.
  • the bracket has several drawbacks. First, it is not easily removable from the bicycle and is intended to remain on the bicycle adding unnecessary weight. Second, since the front wheel is supported at the axle on only one side of the axle, the stress on the axle from the weight of the wheel and wind load during transport could cause damage to the axle and the wheel's hub.
  • a wheel holder is disclosed that is secured onto the seatpost of a bicycle and includes an extension leg with spaced fingers extending therefrom.
  • the fingers have slots formed in their distal ends and the slots are adapted to receive the axle of the bicycle's front wheel.
  • the holder requires the use of a clamping mechanism to secure it to the seatpost. While Talbot clamping mechanism may be effective in attaching the holder to the bicycle's seatpost, it requires several interconnected moving parts that increase the total cost to produce the holder, especially when compared to a holder with an attachment mechanism that does not include interconnected moving parts.
  • the extension leg of the holder must be passed through the spokes of the intended bicycle wheel so that the spaced slots can be aligned with the ends of the wheel's axles.
  • passing the extension arm through the spokes with the slotted fingers that extend perpendicularly therefrom can be awkward especially when the associated front wheel includes closely spaced spokes.
  • the design of the Talbot holder requires the device to extend generally in a direction generally perpendicular to the bicycle. Given this configuration, the wheel and the end of the extension a ⁇ n could interfere with the mounting of additional bicycles onto an associated rooftop carrier, especially when more than two bicycles are to be transported by a single carrier.
  • a device for securing a bicycle wheel to a bicycle comprises a first arm section with proximal and distal ends.
  • a first dropout attached to the distal end of the first arm section and the first dropout includes a first slot.
  • the first slot is adapted to receive an end of an axle of the bicycle wheel therein.
  • the device also includes a second arm section with proximal and distal ends. The distal end of the second arm section is spaced from the distal end of the first arm section.
  • a second dropout is attached to the distal end of the second arm section and the second dropout includes a second slot.
  • the second slot is adapted to receive the other end of the axle of the bicycle wheel therein.
  • the first and second slots are substantially aligned with each other.
  • a device for securing a bicycle wheel to a seatpost of a bicycle comprises (i) an attachment section adapted to couple to the seatpost, (ii) a first arm section with proximal and distal ends, and (iii) a second arm section with proximal and distal ends.
  • the first arm section has a length greater than the radius of the bicycle wheel and is coupled with the attachment section.
  • a first dropout is attached to the distal end of the first arm section.
  • the first dropout includes a first slot.
  • the first slot is adapted to receive an end of an axle of the bicycle wheel therein.
  • the second arm section also has a length greater than the radius of the bicycle wheel and is also coupled with the attachment section.
  • the distal end of the second arm section is spaced from the distal end of the first arm section and a second dropout is attached to the distal end of the second arm section.
  • the second dropout includes a second slot that is adapted to receive another end of the axle of the bicycle wheel therein.
  • the first and second slots are substantially aligned with each other.
  • a device for securing a front bicycle wheel to a bicycle when the bicycle is attached to a vehicle mounted bicycle rack for transport comprises a seatpost attachment mechanism that is adapted to couple with a shaft of a seatpost.
  • the attachment mechanism does not include a clamping mechanism.
  • the device also includes a bicycle wheel attachment mechanism adapted to secure the front bicycle wheel to the device.
  • the seatpost attachment mechanism and the bicycle wheel attachment mechanism are coupled with each other.
  • a method for attaching a bicycle wheel to a bicycle method comprises attaching a wheel attachment device to the seatpost of the bicycle without the use of a clamp, and securing the bicycle wheel to the wheel attachment device.
  • Figure 1 is an isometric view of a preferred embodiment of the wheel holding device.
  • Figure 2 is an isometric view of the preferred embodiment attached to a bicycle.
  • Figure 3 is an isometric of the preferred embodiment attached to a bicycle with a wheel attached to the holding device.
  • Figure 4 is an isometric view of an alternative embodiment wheel holding device clamped to the seatpost of a bicycle.
  • Figure 5 is a flow chart illustrating a method of using a wheel holding device.
  • a device for attaching to a seatpost of a bicycle and holding a bicycle wheel is described. Variations of the device can, however, also be adapted to attach to a tube of a bicycle frame. Preferably, the device can be utilized to hold a front wheel of a bicycle when the bicycle with the front wheel removed from the front fork dropouts is mounted on a rooftop carrier of an automobile for transport.
  • the device comprises a wireform attachment section for connecting to the seatpost, two extension arm sections that extend from the attachment section and two spaced and opposed dropouts with axle slots at the end of the a ⁇ ns to receive the ends of an axle of a bicycle wheel therein.
  • the wireform attachment section of the preferred embodiment is adapted for quick attachment and removal to and from a seatpost.
  • the device includes (i) an attachment section 102 (or portion) typically comprising specifically bent and formed metallic rod to fit around a shaft of a seatpost (ii) first and second extension arm sections 104 & 106 (or portions) also typically comprised of metallic rod and (iii) dropouts 108 and 110 attached to ends of the arm sections for receiving the ends of an axle of a bicycle wheel therein.
  • the metallic rod utilized for both the attachment and the extension arm sections is typically comprised of steel having a diameter of about 0.375"-0.50", although in variations, the material could comprise an aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, magnesium alloy or other metal. Further, although the rod is typically cylindrical, other cross-sectional shapes can be utilized.
  • the rod may be solid or tubular. Additionally, in variations, the rod comprising the attachment and extension arm sections could be comprised of a plastic material reinforced with glass fibers, graphite fibers or another suitable reinforcing material.
  • first rod 112 having a distal end that terminates at the first dropout 108.
  • the rod is substantially straight along the portion comprising the first extension arm section and is formed into a plurality of arcuate portions in the attachment section before terminating at the proximal end thereof.

  • the second rod is attached to the first rod via a weld, although in variations the two rods can be attached in any suitable manner such as with the use of lugs and brazing or adhesive bonding.
  • first and second rods could be integrally formed such as during casting, molding or forging.
  • the long leg 117 of the L-shaped second rod substantially forms the second extension arm section 106, which terminates at its distal end at the second dropout 110.
  • the first and second extension arms are spaced from each other the length of the short leg 116. Typically the spacing between the two extension arms is around 120- 140mm.
  • the first and second extension a ⁇ ns are generally coplanar such that the first and second dropouts are substantially aligned with each other.
  • the length of the extension arm sections is at least as long as the radius of the bicycle wheel the device is adapted to hold.
  • the illustrated attachment section 112 comprises an extensively wire formed portion of the first rod.
  • the attachment section begins at a first U- shaped portion 118 that includes (i) a first leg 120 that is aligned and integral with the first extension arm 104, (ii) a base 122 that is generally arcuate and has a radius that from its inside surface is at least as great as the radius of a seatpost to which the device is adapted to be attached, and (iii) a second leg 124 that is generally parallel with the first leg with the spacing between the legs being equal or greater than the diameter of an intended seatpost.
  • the opening or seatpost slot 126 fo ⁇ ned by the first U-shaped portion faces in the direction of the dropouts 108 & 110.
  • the second leg 124 of the first U-shaped portion is integral with the top of an S- shaped portion 128 that extends substantially downwardly until being integrated with a first leg 132 of a second U-shaped portion 130. Accordingly, the second U-shaped portion is spaced apart from the first U-shaped portion a distance dictated by the configuration of the S- shaped portion. Typically the spacing between the U-shaped portions is at least a couple of inches and is usually about 4-7 inches, although spacings greater than 7 inches and less than 2 inches can be utilized in variations of the device.
  • the second U-shaped portion includes a base 134 that is generally arcuate and has a radius from its inside surface at least as great as the radius of a seatpost to which the device is adapted to be attached, and a second leg 136 that is generally parallel with the first leg with the spacing between the legs being equal or greater than the diameter of an intended seatpost.
  • the end of the second leg 136 of the second U-shaped portion 130 also comprises the proximal end of the first rod 112.
  • the opening or seatpost slot 138 formed by the second U-shaped portion faces in generally the opposite direction of the opening 126 of the first U-shaped portion 118.
  • the attachment section 102 is covered with a protective covering 140.
  • the covering comprises a dip coated polymeric covering.
  • the covering comprises flexible plastic or rubber tubing that is slid over the metallic rod and into place.
  • the protective covering may comprise other materials as well including but not limited to fabric and leather. Further, the covering may be attached to the attachment section using any other suitable method including but not limited to adhesive bonding and stitching.
  • the dropouts 108 & 110 each have U-shaped slots 140 & 142 respectively that are sized to receive the ends of a typical bicycle wheel axle therein.
  • the dropouts are spaced from each other at the distal ends of extension arm sections of the device at a distance generally corresponding to the width of a typical hub of a front bicycle wheel.
  • the dropouts are attached to the extension arms in any suitable manner such as welding, brazing, mechanical fastening and adhesive fastening.
  • the dropouts can be integrally formed with the extension arms. For instance, a steel solid or tubular rod can be stamped to plastically deform the ends of the arms into flattened dropouts.
  • the slots can be formed during the stamping operation or they can be cut into the formed ends in a separate operation.
  • the preferred embodiment device 100 is shown attached to a bicycle 200.
  • the U-shaped portions 118 & 130 are placed around the shaft 202 of the seatpost 204 below the seat 206 such that the base 134 of the lower second U-shaped portion
  • the device 130 is located behind the seatpost, and the base 122 of the upper first U-shaped portion 118 is located in front of the seatpost.
  • the bottom of the second U-shaped portion rests on the top of the bicycle's seat tube 208, which includes the seatpost collar 210 and an associated quick- release bolt 212 or other type of suitable bolt. Accordingly, because of the weight of the extension arm sections 104 & 106, which are cantilevered off of the first U-shaped portion, and the wheel 214 when it is secured to the device, the device is prevented from pivoting downwardly.
  • the preferred embodiment does not utilize a clamping mechanism comprising interconnected moving parts, such as a hinged clamp or an endless band clamp. By foregoing such a clamping mechanism the cost of fabricating the device is reduced.
  • the manner in which the preferred embodiment wheel holding device is braced against the seatpost facilitates relatively rapid deployment and removal of the device and the associated wheel.
  • a seatpost shaft 202 There is no industry standard concerning the diameter of a seatpost shaft 202.
  • Seatpost shafts have diameters varying from 25.4mm up to about 31mm; however, the most common seatpost shaft diameter is around 27Jmm with the great majority of all seatposts having a diameter range of around 26.6mm to 27.2mm. Accordingly, a device having U- shaped portions 118 & 130 with openings that have a width in excess 27J mm and a radius in excess of 13.6mm will fit the most seatposts as the small difference in the common sizes is not significant enough to adversely effect the operation of the wheel holding device.
  • devices with larger or smaller U-shaped portion openings can be fabricated that will accommodate seatposts with larger and smaller shafts.
  • a cylindrical shim (not shown) fabricated of plastic or metal can placed over the seatpost shaft to increase the diameter of the shaft in the localized area where the wheel holding device is to be mounted. Accordingly, with a shim, a device with an opening width of around 27Jmm can be used on a seatpost having a diameter of 25.4mm.
  • the front bicycle wheel 214 is (i) slid between the extension arms 104 & 106, (ii) received into the spaced slots 140 & 142, and (iii) secured to the device in a manner similar to securing a front wheel to the dropouts of a bicycle's front fork 216.
