Description

D E S C R I P C I O N

Bicycle stand.

SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE

The present invention relates to a bicycle stand, commonly known as a "kickstand", intended to stabilize the bicycle when it is not being used, without having to support it on walls, poles, etc.

The object of the invention is to provide an easel with mountable / removable character, in order that it can be eliminated when the bike is going to be used, avoiding unnecessary weights as well as an element that remains aerodynamic to the bike, which can be implanted quickly and comfortably at the moment of leaving the bike, without the need for tools or accessory elements.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Different easels or "goat legs" for bicycles are known, which are mounted on the frame of the same, in order to allow the bike to stabilize when it is not being used, avoiding its support on the floor, walls or similar elements that could damage the saddle, change, handlebar, etc.

Although these devices can be mounted and dismantled to the bike frame, they are clearly impractical, that is, they are designed so that once they are installed they are not uninstalled, maneuvering for which tools are necessary and which takes their operating time.

However, it is known that weight as well as aerodynamics are very important factors to consider in this type of vehicle, especially when competing, so the tendency is not to use this type of easels in bikes of medium ranges and high, for the problems described above.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The bicycle stand that is recommended solves in a fully satisfactory way the above-mentioned problems, based on a simple but effective solution, since it has a practicable nature, that is, easily implantable and unplayable, when necessary, without the need for any type of tool.

To do this, and more specifically, the ridge of the invention is constituted from a telescopic strut with its lower end of support topped in a ball joint or similar element, which will establish a stable support base on the ground, whatever the characteristics of this, so that the possibility of regulating the length of the strut allows to adapt to different sizes and models of bicycles.

The strut is topped in a piece by way of manually operated clamp, which will lock the device on the frame of the corresponding bicycle, on the side deemed most convenient, specifically on the sheaths of its rear triangle, adjusting to the same automatically, since the jaw will be formed from two parts or arms related to each other through elastic elements, such as springs that tend to the automatic closing of the same, so that to open the jaw it is necessary to apply a tension manual superior to that of said elastic elements, causing it to open a magnitude according to the height of the sheath on which it is applied, so that as soon as the manual tightening ceases the jaw is perfectly fixed to the frame.

The clamp can be tilted with respect to the strut, in order to allow the strut to be folded if you do not want to disassemble the device when it is applied to the bike and will be mounted on it.

From this structuring, the following advantages are derived:

• Easy assembly and disassembly of the bicycle frame.

• Light weight and telescopic character that makes it present a minimum volumetric occupancy in inoperative situation.

• Adjustable and lockable at different heights to adapt to all types of bicycles.

• It avoids the risk of accidents that have the fixed trestle, by hooks with branches, stones and similar.

• Avoid having to support the bicycle on rough surfaces, hard, etc., which could ultimately damage the saddle, change or paint the bicycle.

• Support giratiorio and displaceable in ascending and descending direction to achieve an optimal stabilization on the ground.

• Able to adapt to different sheath geometries.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that will be made below and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred embodiment of the same, a set of drawings is included as an integral part of said description. where, with illustrative and non-limiting character, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a bicycle stand made in accordance with the object of the present invention in an implantation arrangement on the frame of the corresponding bicycle.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the ridge of the previous figure in a resting and folding position.

Figure 3 shows a schematic and sectional detail of the fixing clamp to the frame of the bicycle.

Figure 4 shows a schematic front view of the stand.

Figure 5 shows, finally, a schematic side view of the stand.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, it can be seen how the bicycle stand object of the invention is constituted from a jaw (1), which can be realized in many different ways without affecting the essence of the invention, in the involving two arms (2-3) related to each other by elastic compression elements (4) that allow to regulate the degree of opening of the jaw (1) so that it adapts at all times to the thickness / height of the sheath (5). ) of the bicycle frame on which it is applied, adapting quickly, automatically and stably by means of a simple manual pulling maneuver.

The clamp (1) is related to a telescopic strut (6), provided with regulation and locking means in different positions of extension and retraction, endowed at its free end with a support base (7) tilting with respect to the telescopic strut ( 6), in order to adapt to different inclinations, said telescopic strut (6) being able to be equally tiltable (8) with respect to the clamp (1) for the folding of said strut on the sheath, conventionally to a classic trestle.

The telescopic nature of the prop makes it adaptable to bicycles of different sizes and geometries, as well as minimizing the volumetric occupation of the device when it is not being used, as shown in Figure 2.

In this way, a device is easy to install and uninstall, without the need for tools, with a low weight and minimal occupation.
