Description

BICYCLE HANGER

DESCRIPTION

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as expressed in the title of this descriptive report, refers to a bicycle hanger, which provides structural and constitutive characteristics, which are described in detail later, which represent an improvement of the current state of the art within its field of application.

More particularly, the object of the invention focuses on a bicycle hanger designed with a structure equipped with connectivity and multifunction storage that allows, in addition to the bicycle, electronic devices, current outlet for battery charging, compressor air, and other accessories that can be attached to it. So, this bike mount can be hung on any structure and the devices are always well placed and charged.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

The field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of supports for hanging bicycles on the wall or on any structure to which it can be fixed, focusing particularly on the field of those designed to hang everything kind of bikes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, existing bicycle hangers, although they can have different shapes and hanging systems, are usually limited exclusively to their function of serving to hang the bicycle. However, as is known, with this bicycle rack, in addition to the bicycle, a wide range of accessories and equipment is usually used that, if they are not found together with the bicycle, would have to be collected from each place where they have been stored. , bearing in mind that if you forget one, or the batteries and wheels are not in their optimal state, the exit can be uncomfortable and unsafe.

In particular, most cyclists today usually wear, in addition to special shoes, drinking bottles, gloves, helmets and other conventional accessories, devices electronics such as GPS or smartphone, light to see and be seen at night or in case of poor visibility, or smart watch.

The objective of the present invention is, therefore, to provide the market with a new type of bicycle hanger that provides added ergonomic value by allowing said accessories and devices to be collected and arranged next to the bicycle in a practical and simple manner.

On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least by the applicant, the existence of any other bicycle hanger, or any other invention with a similar application, that has the same technical characteristics is unknown. or similar to those presented by the one claimed here.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The bicycle hanger that the invention proposes allows to satisfactorily achieve the aforementioned objectives, the characterizing details that make it possible and that conveniently distinguish it being collected in the final claims that accompany this description.

Specifically, what the invention proposes, as noted above, is a bicycle hanger that has the particularity of being designed with a structure equipped with "direct or wireless" connectivity and multifunction storage that allows, in addition to being able to hang the bicycle, being able to have electronic devices, an air compressor to inflate the wheels and the accessories used (boots, manual pump, helmet, gloves) and direct or wireless charging of all devices. In such a way that all the accessories can be arranged in the same place and the electronic devices can be charged in a fast, ergonomic, orderly manner, adapting the support object of this invention to any surface on which it can be fixed.

For this, and more specifically, said hanger structure, in addition to respective curved-concave housings to receive the horizontal tube of the bicycle frame and hold it in a horizontal position, comprises at least one connection tray, with housings and wiring to deposit and charge various electronic devices.

In addition, in a preferred embodiment, the structure of the hanger also comprises one or more elements for hanging accessories, such as gloves or slippers and/or one or more bottle holder elements, a manual tire to inflate the wheels, two hangers that can be used to hang an electric scooter.

The hanger allows, therefore, to cover the personal needs of bicycle users that until now could not be covered with conventional hangers, allowing an ergonomic level of performance to be improved, especially due to the fact that it offers connectivity for one or several electronic devices and capacity multifunction storage for these devices and for other accessories and complements.

It should be noted that, as it is a variable configuration structure, its wide range of possibilities in the market can make it economically viable, not only due to the number of users who use bicycles but also due to the variety of the range of models that can be built. , creating different versions based on features, finishes, color and price.

The hanger therefore makes it possible to reach all bicycle users who need to reduce the space they occupy at home, ensuring the connectivity of their devices and that they are always available and with a charged battery.

More and more bicycle accessories are used and there is less space at home, and for this reason, there is a need to organize and reduce the spaces that they occupy inside homes. The hanger of the invention is built with the purpose of solving said problem through a structure based on technology, ergonomics and space reduction, in order to improve the cyclist's transition when leaving and/or entering the house. Connectivity ensures charging of devices in the same location.

On the other hand, there is an increasing number of bicycles with disc brakes, so it is necessary to hang the bicycle in a horizontal position, its sliding arm ensures the position parallel to the ground to avoid fluid bleeding problems.
