DESCRIPTION

SUPPORT TO HANG A BICYCLE TO A FACE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a support for hanging a bicycle from a wall, usable for organizing objects in spaces.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

At present, the use of wall hangers for storing bicycles is known. In their most typical embodiment, they comprise a hook from which the bicycle is hung by one of its wheels, but this can deform the bicycle's rim and scratch it. Another type of support includes bars, similar to the nails of a pallet truck, protruding from the wall, to hang the bicycle from the upper bar of the frame. However, with the evolution of frames to shapes with their upper bar inclined, or simply non-existent, these types of supports do not work well.

Supports are also known that comprise two wings, provided with fixing means to the wall in a position coinciding with the lower midpoint of each wheel, and a pedal hook, which includes fixing means to the wall in a position coinciding with the upper midpoint. of the pedal on the side adjacent to the facing, and provided with a fork with an amplitude between the diameter of the pedal axis and the length of the pedal, said fork arranged at a distance from the facing equal to or greater than the width of the pedal, so that it is It makes it possible to hang the bicycle from a wall using supports or anchors to elements that will always exist (wheels and pedals), which universalizes the support for any type of bicycle. In addition, its pieces are small in size, which lowers the cost of manufacturing and reduces the size needed in sales exhibitions and facilitates transport. However, to position the bicycle you have to lift it off the ground and hold it until you hit the position on the fork, forcing the user's posture.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The support for hanging a bicycle to a wall of the invention is of the type that They comprise two wings, provided with fixing means to the wall in a position coinciding with the lower midpoint of each wheel, and a pedal hook, which includes fixing means to the wall, in a position coinciding with the upper midpoint of the pedal on the adjacent side. to the facing, and provided with a fork with an amplitude between the diameter of the pedal shaft and the total length of the pedal, so that the pedal shaft is inserted into the fork and the branches of the fork hold the edge of the pedal, arranged said fork at a distance from the facing equal to or greater than the width of the pedal precisely so that the pedal fits between the facing and the fork; where according to the invention, the branches of the fork have an open V-shape -and therefore have a smaller width at the bottom than at the mouth- being their width smaller, at the bottom, equal to or greater than the diameter of the axis of the fork. pedal, and its greatest amplitude, in its mouth, less than the length of the pedal.

In this way, it is possible to hang the bicycle on the wall using the supports or anchors to the wheels and pedals, the fact that the branches are V-shaped, that is, open, facilitating the placement of the pedal axis in the fork. which gives a tolerance when placing the pedal axis and minimizes the time that the user must keep the weight of the bicycle in suspense.

DESCRIPTION OF A PRACTICAL EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The support (1) for hanging a bicycle (2) to a wall (3) of the invention is of the type that They comprise two wings (4), provided with fixing means to the wall (3) in a position coinciding with the lower midpoint of each wheel (20), and a hitch (5) for the pedal, which includes fixing means to the wall (3). ), in a position coinciding with the upper midpoint of the pedal (21) on the side adjacent to the wall (3), and provided with a fork (50) with an amplitude between the diameter of the axis (22) of the pedal (21) and the length of the pedal (21), said fork (50) arranged at a distance from the facing (3) equal to or greater than the width of the pedal (21); where according to the invention, the fork (50) has V-shaped branches (58), its width being smaller, at its bottom, equal to or greater than the diameter of the axis (22) of the pedal (21), and its width longer, in its mouth, less than the length of the pedal (21).

In addition, the provision of an adjustable strap (6) that is encompassing the area for placing the pedal (21) in the hitch (5) is preferred, for example, attachable with an adhesive loop, to consolidate the fixation of the bicycle and minimize the risk of accidentally falling.

For its part, each wing (4) comprises (see figs. 1 and 4) a vertical lateral sector (40) provided with a first flange (41) for the passage of screws (100) for fixing to the wall (3), and a protruding sector (42), emanating from the vertical lateral sector (40), with a support surface (42a) complementary to that of the wheel (20) of the bicycle (2), that is, concave with similar longitudinal and transversal curvatures those of the tire of the wheel to be supported on said support surface (42a). This helps the wheel sit in a proper position, and prevents it from turning once the bike is mounted on the stand.

Similarly, the fixing means of the hitch (5) for the pedal to the wall (3) comprise (see figs. 1 and 3) a vertical portion (55) with a second flange (56) for fixing to the wall by means of screws.

Additionally, it is preferred that the pedal hook (5) comprises a lower surface (57) for supporting the pedal (21), between the fork (50) and the vertical portion (55), with a complementary inclination to that of the pedal (21). ).

Finally, indicate that the support (1) is preferably made of biodegradable polymer, in some or all of its parts, minimizing the ecological footprint. This allows its realization by additive manufacturing (3D printing) which makes it easier to make a more optimal geometry and especially the V-shaped fork, and add a strap holder (6) that would not be easy or possible with a metal one.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the manner of carrying it out in practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are subject to modifications in detail as long as they do not alter the fundamental principle.
