Description

Bike Park Pedestal Technical Area

The invention is about bike parks which enables bicycle riders to park their bicycles safely.

The invention is particularly about bike park pedestal which makes parking bicycles and two- wheel vehicles safely with its own locking system and keeping possessions of the rider safe.

Technique's Acknowledged Status Use of the bicycles is encouraged by the local administrations with the purpose of decreasing traffic jam and environmental pollution occurred. However, popularizing the use of bicycles comes with the bike park problem. For this reason, bike parks have been built to resolve bike mess and to create ordinate park spots. Bike parks shouldn't obstacle vehicle and pedestrian traffic, they should be close to bike paths, in sight and secure against theft. The Most common and basic model of bike parks in current applications is parking racks. Parking racks are composed of metals, which are lined in a row on a metal profile connected to the ground so that several bicycles can be parked at the same time and which can take the front wheel of the bicycle in between. Bicycles can be placed in a way that they can stand by putting their front wheel between parking racks and bicycles are parked after locking them to the parking rack with a bicycle lock which the rider carries against theft. Because parking racks don't include a locking system, there isn't any safe place for riders to park their bicycle; therefore, riders always have to have bicycle lock with them, parking racks in question are built only for creating ordinate parking spots for bicycles so they are planned to keep possessions of the rides safe.

l Document numbered CN207686372 can be an example of bike parks found in the literature search. The document in question is relevant to parking spots for bicycles. In this invention, the subject is a structure composed of column equipped with a hydraulic piston moving up- down and bike mount with a tightening gear connected to the abovementioned column. The working principle of the invention is as follows: bicycles are tightened to bike mounts via tightening gear, and then bike mounts move upward with hydraulic piston and bicycles are parked thereto. For the aforementioned invention, bicycles should be moved to an unreachable point to be safe against theft.

Document numbered CN207433684 can be another example for the acknowledged status of the technique. The document in question is about bike park mount. In this invention, the mount which aims at minimizing the room occupied by the bicycle in its usual standing position by parting the bicycle, is the subject. Aforementioned parking mount is a "T" shaped bracket. Rear wheel of the bicycle is tightened to the gap placed on the ground and the seatpost of the bicycle is placed in the "V" shaped dent placed vertically on the "T" shaped stiffener so the bicycle is parked vertically. Because aforementioned invention doesn't have any locking mechanism, it is not possible for the rider to park his/her bike safely and have to have a bicycle lock. In conclusion, existence of the aforementioned problems and deficiency of the current solutions obligated a technical development in the relevant subject.

Detailed Explanation of the Invention

In this explanation, the preferred alternatives of the bike park pedestal (A) is explained to describe the subject better without exposing any limiting effects.

In the Figure 1., general view of the bike park pedestal (A) subject to the invention is given. Accordingly, at its most basic form the bike park pedestal (A) is composed of a mount (10) which has a wheel placing space (11) which is connected to the ground and which one wheel of a bicycle (B) and two-wheel vehicle is placed in between, a storage locker, which has a door (22) locked with secondary locking mechanism (22.1), connected to the aforementioned mount, which can be used as storage and which houses the initial locking mechanism (21) which locks the connector connecting the bicycle (B), and buzzer circuit (40) placed inside the aforementioned storage locker (20) which alarms if the connector (30) of the bicycle is cut off.

The mount (10) which makes parking possible for the bicycle (B) is connected to the ground, there is a space (11) on it on which the rider place one of the wheel of a bicycle or a two- wheel vehicle and a connector space (12) which the rider can lock his bicycle (B) with his own bicycle lock if he wishes

Figures 2 and 3 show the storage (20) open and closed. The storage locker in question is connected to the mount and is storage in which the rider can keep his/her possessions. For this purpose, the storage locker (20) has a door (22) connected to the one edge and can be opened and closed over that. There is a secondary locking mechanism (22.1) which locks the door (22) on the surface of the aforementioned door (22). This secondary locking mechanism (22.1) has an electromechanical assembly or a mechanical assembly working with a key. Moreover, as an alternative to the secondary locking mechanism (22.1) with an electromechanical or mechanical assembly which locks the door (22), there can be at least one channel (22.3) on the door (22) of storage locker (20) to pass at least one secondary locking extension (25) thorough the door (22). Thanks to this when the door (22) is closed, secondary locking extension (25) can be locked by extending from channel (22.3) on the door (22). At the same time, connector (30) can be locked to this secondary locking extension (25) with an external lock.

The door (22) can be opened and closed easily thanks to the handle mounted on the door

(22). As can be seen from the Figures 3 or 3a, there is an initial locking mechanism (21) which locks the bicycle (B) after mounting. A lock and lock-like connector (30), which locks the bicycle (B), is connected to one edge of the storage locker. This connecter (30) is located in a way that initial locking mechanism (21) which is connected to the other way around of stable edge in storage locker (20) for providing locking by passing through the propped up edge in hole (24) on storage locker (20) after being connecting to the abovementioned connecter (30) to bicycle (B). In addition, initial locking mechanism (21) has a lock which is sliding or having another type of structuring with the purpose of locking the connecter (30) in a way which prevents it from going out of storage locker (20) by passing connecter (30) through abovementioned initial locking mechanism (21). The initial locking mechanism (21) is located in the storage locker (20), consequently it is prevented from foreign interventions

As can be understood from the Figure 4, there is a hanger (23) outside the storage locker (20) in order to prevent the propped up edge of the connecter (30) from being dispersed because of factors such as wind when it is not in use.

As can be understood from the Figure 5, safety wire of the connecter (41) is stabilized on the connecter (30) and the edges of the safety wires of the connecter (41) are connected to the buzzer circuit in the storage locker (20) in order to prevent the bicycle (B) from theft by cutting its connector (30) off. The buzzer circuit (40) is fed from a cell battery or a storage battery and it is alarmed when the safety wire of the connecter is cut off.

As can be understood from the Figure 7, the bicycle (B) is parked by placing one of its wheels on the space of the mount (10) of the bike park pedestal.

The rider connects his bicycle (B) to the bike park pedestal (A) by passing the connecter (30), connected to the storage locker, through his/her bicycle (B). Then the rider locks the initial locking mechanism(21) which is connected to the other way around of connecter's(30)stable edge in storage locker(20) for providing locking by passing through the propped up edge in hole(24) on storage locker(20) after being connecting to the above mentioned connecter(30) to bicycle(B). The rider puts his/her possession that s/he doesn't want to carry such as helmet (K), closes the door (22), then locks the storage locker with the secondary locking mechanism (22.1) or an external lock attached to the secondary locking extension (25) popping out of the channel (22.3) on the door (22).

The rider can lock his bicycle (B) with his own bicycle by passing out through the connector space lock if he wishes to use an extra lock other than the connector (30) on the bike park pedestal (A)

In case the third parties intervene the connecter which locks the bicycle (B) to the bike park pedestal (A) with a sharp object, connecter (30) and the safety wire of the connecter (41) stabilized to the connecter is cut off and activate the buzzer circuit (40) and alarms. Thus it is disincentive against theft thanks to the alarms noise revealed by the buzzer circuit (40).
