Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for sheltering bicycles and the like, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention relates to an improved supporting device for sheltering bicycles and the like two wheelers, such as conventional bicycles and tandem and, optionally, by including dedicated components, also motorized bicycles and bikes.
  • the invention relates to a modular device allowing to shelter one or more bicycles arranged side by side in any desired rooms, in particular, even if not exclusively, in a private motor vehicle garage, a basement or the like, so as not to interfere against possible already present vehicles.
  • the improved device according to the present invention comprises a small size construction, which can be easily made at a low cost and, moreover, can be easily installed and managed by the user.
  • a bicycle represents an individual transport means which constitutes a wise decision, both due to the advantages deriving from the necessary physical exercise involved by this vehicle, and due to the fact that the use of a motor free transport means would improve the air quality; moreover, a bicycle allows to perform quicker movings, mainly in big towns, where motor vehicle traffic is frequently slowed down because of the excessively large number of the vehicles being driven or parked.
  • a bicycle also involves the requirements of having a place available for sheltering it as is not used. For solving this problem a basement or a garage is conventionally used, in which a car is parked, and this if no sheltered room or environment to be used as a condominial storing places for storing bicycles is provided.
  • Prior devices used for hanging up a bicycle or the like for example in a garage, substantially comprise hook or the like members attached to the garage walls or to the ceiling thereof, for latching for example a bicycle wheel, or could also comprise a pair of L-shape supports applied to the walls for horizontally arranging the bicycle framework thereon.
  • the above mentioned approaches have been found substantially inefficient since the bicycle body would interfere with a sheltered motor vehicle, and moreover since the operation of hanging or bearing a bicycle on the supports is very tiring and difficult and cannot be easily performed by boys, children and old people.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a device for sheltering bicycles and the like wheelers such as conventional bicycles and tandems, or motor bicycles and motorbikes, adapted to overcome the above mentioned problems affecting the prior art, while providing a user with a modular device allowing to shelter one or more bicycles, arranged side by side, in a private motor vehicle garage, so as not to interfere against the vehicles already present herein.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an user with a small size construction sheltering device which can be practically sold as an "assembly box" and which can be easily installed and managed by the user.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a "modular" construction bicycle sheltering devices which can be constructionally expanded by the user, and this by providing a “basic” kit arranged and fitted depending on the use of the bicycle, and to which other modules, to be used by further bicycles or the like, can be fitted in a side-by-side relationship.
  • Another important object of the present invention is to provide such a device for sheltering bicycles and the like, which is so designed and sized as to define, in its installed condition, a side dimension thereof for engagement by the hanged up article, to automatically optimize the surface space it is applied to.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a device designed as a bicycle or the like hanging up construction which can be easily fitted to the length of the bicycle or article to be supported and which, moreover, provides an automatic marking or reference of the clamping position of a further device having like features.
  • Figure 1 is a side perspective view of the modular support member which constitutes a basic element of the device according to the invention, and showing, by an exploded representation, an axle, a pulley and related side engagement means for said axle in an assembling condition thereof;
  • Figure 2 is a front view of two support members to be used for hanging up to a ceiling a bicycle, the first support member including a pulley and the second two pulleys;
  • Figure 3 is a side perspective view of two support members included in two devices according to the invention, assembled in a side-by-side relationship for supporting two side-by- side bicycles arranged one opposite to the other, and showing a particular mutual fixed joint connection;
  • Figure 4 shows an example of engagement means for engaging the saddle or packet bearer of a bicycle
  • Figure 5 shows an example of engagement means for engaging the handlebar of a bicycle
  • Figure 6 is an overall view of the device according to the invention as applied to the ceiling of a room, for example a motor vehicle garage.
  • the improved device is characterized in that it has a construction including two strip support elements (1 ) each comprising an elongated horizontal part (1) from the bottom of which a substantially U-shape part (Ib) extends; said strip support elements (1) which, in use, must be installed opposite to and suitably spaced from one another, are made of a material suitable strength and stiffness material, preferably, though not exclusively, a plastics material; inside each said U-shape parts (Ib) an axle (2) is supported and restrained, preferably, though not exclusively, made of a metal material, which in turn supports either one or two pulleys (3), also made of any suitable desired materials; the part (Ia) of said support elements (1) advantageously comprises contoured openings (4) for receiving and holding suitable clamping means (not shown) such as an expanding plug or the like for providing a mechanical type of clamping to any desired support surfaces, such as a ceiling, a roof or the like.
  • suitable clamping means not shown
  • the end front portions (Ic) of the part (Ia) of the support element (1) are so contoured as to allow a coplanar adjoining and/or a fixed-joint engagement (7, 7a) with other like support strip elements (1).
  • the length of the part (Ia) of the strip support element (1) has been chosen, in designing the device, by considering the length of the largest handlebar of commercial bicycles, divided by a half, to define an ideal middle line of the (occupied space) "surface" necessary for hanging several bicycles, even of different dimensions, arranged in a side- by-side relationship, and by alternately arranging with an adjoining relationship the handlebar of a bicycle and the saddle of another bicycle to optimize the occupied space or volume.
  • the axles (2) which respectively support an idle pulley (3) for the first strip support element (1) and two idle pulleys (3) for the second strip support element (1) and the raising cable (8) form primary means of a raising cable system for engaging and raising/holding/lowering a bicycle or the like (5); said system further comprises a small winch (6) either manually or electrically operated (not shown) and further driving means for driving the cable system, the driving means comprising a driving small cable (8a) designed for engaging a raising loop (8d) of the cable (8) thereby, as the bicycle (5) has arrived at a desired elevation point, which can comprise, for example, the maximum elevation point allowed by the length of the raising cable (8), the size of the bicycle (5) and the height of the ceiling, it will restrain the bicycle at the achieved position.
  • a desired elevation point which can comprise, for example, the maximum elevation point allowed by the length of the raising cable (8), the size of the bicycle (5) and the height of the ceiling, it will restrain the bicycle at the achieved position.
  • the cable (8) comprises, at the handlebar side thereof, latching or locking means (8b) made of any suitable materials and so contoured as to easily engage the handlebar (9) of any desired bicycles and the like, whereas, at the saddle side opposite end portion thereof, said cable comprises an adjustable loop engagement system (8e), for example, though not exclusively, a loop member (8c) designed for engaging the saddle (10) of the bicycle or the like (5) to be hanged up.
