SUPORTE ARTICULADO DE TRANSPORTE DE BICICLETAS  ARTICULATED BICYCLE TRANSPORT SUPPORT
PARA VEÍCULOS FOR VEHICLES
CAMPO DA INVENÇÃO FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[01] A presente invenção descreve um suporte articulado de transporte de bicicletas para veículos. Mais especificamente compreende uma estrutura disposta perpendicular ao teto do veículo que apresenta uma estrutura articulada dotada por dobradiça que permite movimentar a estrutura de fixação da bicicleta até a lateral do veículo sem que seja necessário levantar a bicicleta acima da cabeça para colocá-la sobre o teto, garantindo maior praticidade e facilidade de fixação da bicicleta junto ao suporte. Além disso, o suporte articulado permite que a bicicleta seja transportada deitada o que resulta em uma diminuição de altura, melhorando a segurança no transporte.  [01] The present invention describes an articulated vehicle bicycle carrier. More specifically, it comprises a structure disposed perpendicular to the roof of the vehicle which has a hinged hinged structure which allows the fixing structure of the bicycle to be moved to the side of the vehicle without it being necessary to raise the bicycle above the head to place it on the roof , guaranteeing greater practicality and easiness of fixing of the bicycle next to the support. In addition, the articulated support allows the bicycle to be carried lying down which results in a decrease in height, improving safety in transport.
[02] Este sistema articulado apresenta uma construtividade que facilita a disposição da bicicleta por uma única pessoa, melhorando a funcionalidade de disposição e aplicação da bicicleta junto aos veículos.  This articulated system presents a constructivity that facilitates the disposition of the bicycle by a single person, improving the functionality of disposition and application of the bicycle next to the vehicles.
ANTECEDENTES DA INVENÇÃO  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[03] Atualmente, existem diversos modelos de suporte de bicicletas, sendo que os mais conhecidos são: o suporte apoiado na tampa do porta-malas e o suporte disposto no teto do veículo (bicicleta fica na posição "de pé").  [03] Currently there are several models of bicycle support, the best known being: the bracket resting on the trunk lid and the bracket on the roof of the vehicle (bicycle is in the "standing" position).
[04] O suporte disposto na tampa do porta-malas do veículo apresenta uma fixação simples realizada através de fitas, porém este modelo apresenta diversos inconvenientes devido à necessidade de desmontar todo o sistema para ter acesso ao porta-malas. [05] Além disso, as bicicletas não podem impedir a visão pelo vidro traseiro nem ocultar luzes de freio, ré e dos indicadores de direção. Nem devem exceder a largura máxima do veículo (o que normalmente só é possível ao transportar bicicletas de aro 20 ou inferior, ou quando tiramos as rodas das bicicletas maiores). A placa também não pode ser ocupada, caso isso ocorra é obrigatória à utilização de uma segunda placa traseira, que deverá ser colocada em local visível. [04] The bracket on the luggage compartment cover of the vehicle has a simple fastening made with ribbons, but this model has several drawbacks due to the need to dismantle the whole system to access the trunk. [05] In addition, bicycles can not hinder rear-view or conceal brake lights, reverse lights and steering indicators. Nor should they exceed the maximum width of the vehicle (which is normally only possible when transporting bicycles of rim 20 or lower, or when we take the wheels off the larger bicycles). The plate can also not be occupied, if this happens it is mandatory to use a second back plate, which should be placed in a visible place.
[06] O suporte disposto no teto do veículo é, provavelmente, o tipo mais popular de suporte de bicicleta para carro. Utilizando racks no teto do carro, instala-se o equipamento, que pode carregar uma série de bicicletas em segurança. Alguns modelos carregam a bicicleta completa, o que aumenta a praticidade. Outros exigem que o motorista retire a roda dianteira antes do transporte, por questões de espaço e de segurança. [06] The car roof mount is probably the most popular type of car bike mount. Using racks in the car roof, the equipment is installed, which can carry a series of bikes safely. Some models carry the complete bicycle, which increases practicality. Others require the driver to remove the front wheel prior to transportation, for reasons of space and safety.
[07] As desvantagens citadas por muitos usuários neste modelo é a dificuldade de se levantar a bicicleta acima da cabeça para colocá-la na calha do suporte (que piora quando é um carro alto) e o problema com a altura que o conjunto fica, impedindo a entrada na maioria das garagens e até mesmo em áreas cobertas de muitos estabelecimentos.  The disadvantages mentioned by many users in this model is the difficulty of lifting the bicycle above the head to put it in the bracket chute (which worsens when it is a tall car) and the problem with the height that the set stays, preventing entry into most garages and even in covered areas of many establishments.
[08] Além disso, as calhas de fixação do suporte são colocadas de forma perpendicular ao sentido das barras do bagageiro de teto. Esta disposição não causa nenhum problema em carros de quatro portas, porém para aqueles de duas portas, nem sempre existem as barras originais, assim torna-se necessário prendê-las à lataria por meio de perfurações. Ocasionando danos ao automóvel. [09] Em pesquisa realizada junto ao estado da técnica identificamos diversos documentos que reivindicam suportes para o transporte de bicicletas, onde podemos destacar os seguintes documentos: [08] In addition, the support rails are placed perpendicular to the direction of the roof rack bars. This arrangement does not cause any problem in four-door cars, but for those of two doors, the original bars do not always exist, so it is necessary to fasten them to the bodywork by means of perforations. Causing damage to the car. [09] In a survey carried out with the state of the art we have identified several documents that claim support for bicycle transport, where we can highlight the following documents:
[010] O documento PI031 1778-2 descreve um suporte de carga para transportar uma bicicleta que é projetada para ser montado sobre a capota de um veículo por intermédio de dispositivos de montagem. O suporte de carga compreende uma seção de trilho longitudinal onde a bicicleta é carregada de tal maneira que o pegador de garras pode ser conectado com o quadro da bicicleta carregada quando a bicicleta é erguida para a posição vertical, e em cuja posição o pegador de garras pode ser apertado em torno do quadro para manter a bicicleta carregada na dita posição vertical. The document PI031 1778-2 discloses a load carrier for transporting a bicycle which is designed to be mounted on the canopy of a vehicle by means of mounting devices. The load carrier comprises a longitudinal rail section where the bicycle is loaded in such a manner that the claw catcher can be connected with the loaded bicycle frame when the bicycle is erected to the upright position, and in which position the claw catcher may be tightened around the frame to keep the bicycle loaded in said vertical position.
[011] O documento MU8601071 -9 descreve a fixação e a retirada da bicicleta e outros objetos do suporte de montagem é rápida. A montagem do suporte é rápida e quando não está sendo utilizado pode ser desmontado e transportado no interior do veículo. Quando não utilizado o suporte, só fica aparente no veículo o parafuso/porca modificado. A montagem do parafuso/porca, não exige ferramentas especiais, usando-se as ferramentas do próprio veículo.  [011] Document MU8601071 -9 describes fastening and removal of the bicycle and other objects from the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is quick and when not in use can be disassembled and transported inside the vehicle. When the carrier is not used, only the modified bolt / nut remains on the vehicle. The bolt / nut assembly does not require special tools, using the tools of the vehicle itself.
[012] O documento MU8803220-5 descreve três elementos conjugados que trabalham apoiados sobre o teto dos veículos tracionadores, sem que haja a necessidade de fixa-los permanentemente, proporcionando conforto aos tripulantes em virtude da sua fixação não exigir o trespasse das correias no interior das cabinas dos veículos tracionadores. O elemento composto pelo perfilado tubular, se caracteriza em apoiar-se sobre o teto do veículo de passeio através dos suportes por contato, utilizando-se de placas de metal, ventosas e correias. [013] Estes documentos descritos no estado da técnica apresentam disposições construtivas aplicadas em suportes para o transporte de bicicletas junto aos veículos onde cada documento apresenta uma construtividade própria. Porém, estes documentos apresentam diversos inconvenientes aos usuários devido à dificuldade de fixação junto ao suporte e da maneira que a bicicleta é transportada junto ao veículo, resultando em suportes que apresentam grande complexidade de montagem e de fixação da bicicleta. The document MU8803220-5 describes three conjugated elements that work supported on the roof of the traction vehicles, without the necessity to fix them permanently, providing comfort to the crew by virtue of their fixation does not require the trespasse of the belts in the interior of the cabs of tractor vehicles. The element composed of the tubular profile is characterized by being supported on the roof of the passenger vehicle by means of the contact supports, using metal plates, suction cups and belts. [013] These documents described in the prior art provide constructive arrangements applied to supports for transporting bicycles to vehicles where each document has its own constructivity. However, these documents present a number of drawbacks to users due to the difficulty of attaching them to the carrier and the way the bicycle is carried next to the vehicle, resulting in supports that present a great complexity of mounting and fixing the bicycle.
[014] Portanto, o presente titular, desenvolveu uma nova construtividade aplicada em suporte para o transporte de bicicletas junto aos veículos que melhora o sistema de fixação e agrega maior praticidade ao usuário. [014] Therefore, the present owner has developed a new constructivity applied in support for the transport of bicycles next to the vehicles that improves the fixation system and adds more practicality to the user.
[015] Desta forma, é objeto da presente invenção, uma estrutura disposta de forma perpendicular ao teto do veículo que apresenta uma estrutura articulada dotada por dobradiça que permite movimentar a estrutura de fixação da bicicleta até a lateral do veículo sem que seja necessário levantar a bicicleta acima da cabeça para colocá-la sobre o teto, garantindo maior praticidade e facilidade de fixação da bicicleta junto ao suporte. Além disso, o suporte articulado permite que a bicicleta seja transportada deitada o que resulta em uma diminuição de altura. Este sistema articulado apresenta uma construtividade que facilita a disposição da bicicleta por uma única pessoa, melhorando a funcionalidade de disposição e aplicação da bicicleta junto aos veículos.  In this way, it is object of the present invention, a structure arranged perpendicular to the roof of the vehicle which has a hinged hinged structure that allows to move the structure of attachment of the bicycle to the side of the vehicle without having to lift the bicycle above the head to place it on the ceiling, ensuring greater practicality and easiness of fixing the bicycle next to the support. In addition, the articulated support allows the bicycle to be carried lying down which results in a decrease in height. This articulated system presents a constructivity that facilitates the disposition of the bicycle by a single person, improving the functionality of disposition and application of the bicycle next to the vehicles.
