Abstract

The roof-rack for securing bicycles to a vehicle (3) comprises four clamps (6-9), each pair of which secures one wheel (10, 11) of the bicycle (4). To release the bicycle (4) from the holder, two safety strips (12, 13) are first opened. It is then possible to fold the two outer clamps (7, 9) downwards together about a horizontal axis, thus releasing the bicycle. The rack can also be easily loaded and unloaded on the roof of a car and can be used for various types of bicycle.

Description

Dachträger zur Befestigung eines Fahrrads Roof rack for attaching a bicycle
Die Erfindung betrifft Dachträger mit einer Befestigungsvorrichtung für mindestens ein Fahrrad sowie eine solche Befestigungsvorrichtung gemäss dem Oberbe¬ griff der unabhängigen Ansprüche. Dachträger dieser Art zur Montage auf Automo¬ bilen sind in verschiedenen Ausführungen bekannt. Dabei wird das Fahrrad in der Regel mittels einer Klammer am Rahmen gehalten. Die Bedienung solcher Dachträger ist je¬ doch recht mühsam, da die Klammer schlecht zugänglich ist. Ausserdem muss der Dachträger der jeweiligen Rahmen¬ form des Fahrrads genau angepasst werden.The invention relates to roof racks with a fastening device for at least one bicycle and to such a fastening device according to the preamble of the independent claims. Roof racks of this type for mounting on automobiles are known in various designs. The bike is usually held on the frame with a clamp. However, the operation of such roof racks is quite tedious, since the clip is difficult to access. In addition, the roof rack must be precisely adapted to the respective frame shape of the bicycle.
Es stellt sich deshalb die Aufgabe, einen Dachträger der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, der diese Nachteile des Standes der Technik zumindest teilweise vermeidet. Insbesondere soll er einfach zu be¬ dienen sein und sich für Fahrräder verschiedenster Bau¬ form eignen.It is therefore the task of providing a roof rack of the type mentioned at the outset, which at least partially avoids these disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, it should be easy to use and suitable for bicycles of various designs.
Diese Aufgabe wird vom Dachträger bzw. der Befestigungsvorrichtung gemäss den unabhängigen Ansprü- chen erfüllt.This task is fulfilled by the roof rack or the fastening device according to the independent claims.
Im erfindungsgemässen Dachträger wird das Fahrrad verkippfest an einem oder beiden Rädern von zwei seitlichen Halteorganen gehalten, so dass eine zusätzli¬ che Befestigung am Rahmen entfallen kann. Um die Befesti- gung zu öffnen bzw. zu schliessen, können die Halteorgane relativ zueinander bewegt werden. Da die Halteorgane im Bereich der Räder angreifen, sind sie auch auf dem Auto¬ dach gut erreichbar, was die Bedienung erleichtert. Da die Radform der meisten Fahrräder vergleichbar ist, kann der Dachträger ohne Anpassung bzw. mit nur geringer An¬ passung für verschiedenste Fahrradtypen verwendet werden. Vorzugsweise sollten die Halteorgane nicht nur eine seitliche Halterung sondern auch einen Längsan¬ schlag für das jeweilige Rad bilden, damit ein Fortrollen das Rads auch ohne zusätzliche Befestigung verhindert wird. Dies wird besonders einfach erreicht, indem die Halteorgane je zwei gebogen verlaufende L-Profile umfas¬ sen. Diese folgen der Peripherie der Radsollposition und bilden einerseits einen seitlichen Anschlag, andererseits eine Abstellfäche und einen Längsanschlag für das Rad. Ist eines der Halteorgane für jedes Rad schwenkbar, so kann das Rad von den Halteorganen in einer Klammerbewegung ergriffen werden.In the roof rack according to the invention, the bicycle is held against tilting on one or both wheels by two lateral holding members, so that an additional fastening to the frame can be omitted. In order to open or close the fastening, the holding members can be moved relative to one another. Since the holding members engage in the area of the wheels, they are also easily accessible on the car roof, which makes operation easier. Since the wheel shape of most bicycles is comparable, the roof rack can be used for a wide variety of bicycle types without adaptation or with only a slight adaptation. The holding members should preferably not only form a lateral holder but also a longitudinal stop for the respective wheel, so that the wheel is prevented from rolling away even without additional fastening. This is achieved in a particularly simple manner in that the holding members each comprise two curved L-profiles. These follow the periphery of the desired wheel position and on the one hand form a lateral stop, on the other hand a storage surface and a longitudinal stop for the wheel. If one of the holding members can be pivoted for each wheel, the holding members can grip the wheel in a clamp movement.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführung ist ein Paar von Halteorganen für jedes Rad des Fahrrads vor- gesehen, wobei die Halteorgane starr miteinander Verbun¬ den sind. Dies erlaubt es, in einem Arbeitsgang beide Rä¬ der zu befestigen bzw. zu lösen.In a particularly preferred embodiment, a pair of holding members is provided for each wheel of the bicycle, the holding members being rigidly connected to one another. This allows both wheels to be attached or detached in one operation.

Figur 6 den Dachträger von Figur 5 in der ge¬ öffneten Stellung Der grundlegende Aufbau und die Funktionswei¬ se einer bevorzugten Ausführung des erfindungsgemässen Dachträgers ergeben sich aus den Figuren 1 und 2. Der hier gezeigte Dachträger umfasst einen konventionellen Unterbau mit Querstreben 1 und Halteelementen 2, die auf dem Dach eines Fahrzeugs 3 befestigt sind. Darauf aufge¬ setzt ist die Befestigungsvorrichtung für ein Fahrrad 4. Die Befestigungsvorrichtung besitzt zwei Paa¬ re 5 von Klemmbacken 6 - 9, die die Räder 10, 11 des Fahrrads umfassen. In der in Figur 1 gezeigten Transport¬ stellung sind die Klemmbacken 6 - 9 geschlossen und hal¬ ten das Fahrrad 4 an den Rädern 10, 11. Zwei Verschlüss¬ bänder 12, 13, die sich um die Klemmbacken und das jewei¬ lige Rad erstrecken, dienen zur Sicherung.6 shows the roof rack from FIG. 5 in the opened position. The basic structure and the mode of operation of a preferred embodiment of the roof rack according to the invention result from FIGS. 1 and 2. The The roof rack shown here comprises a conventional substructure with cross struts 1 and holding elements 2 which are fastened on the roof of a vehicle 3. The fastening device for a bicycle 4 is placed thereon. The fastening device has two pairs 5 of clamping jaws 6-9, which encompass the wheels 10, 11 of the bicycle. In the transport position shown in FIG. 1, the clamping jaws 6-9 are closed and hold the bicycle 4 on the wheels 10, 11. Two locking straps 12, 13, which extend around the clamping jaws and the respective wheel , serve as a backup.
In der in Figur 2 gezeigten offenen Stellung sind die Verschlussbänder gelöst und die beiden ausseren Klemmbacken 7, 8 um eine horizontale Achse nach aussen gekippt, so dass das Fahrrad 4 einfach aus dem Träger entnommen bzw. in den Träger eingesetzt werden kann. Be- retis in dieser offenen Stellung wird das Fahrrad von den Halteorganen gegen Herunterfallen oder Wegrollen gesi¬ chert, so dass das Fahrrad nicht mehr von der Bedienungs- person gehalten werden muss. Die Bedienungsperson kann sich deshalb mit beiden Händen und ohne Eile dem Schlies¬ sen der Verschlussbänder zuwenden.In the open position shown in FIG. 2, the fastening straps are released and the two outer clamping jaws 7, 8 are tilted outwards about a horizontal axis, so that the bicycle 4 can simply be removed from the carrier or inserted into the carrier. In this open position, the bicycle is secured against falling or rolling away by the holding members, so that the bicycle no longer has to be held by the operator. The operator can therefore turn towards the closing of the fastener tapes with both hands and without hurry.
Im folgenden wird nun der genaue Aufbau des hier gezeigten Dachträgers anhand der Figuren 3-6 be- schrieben.The exact structure of the roof rack shown here is now described with reference to FIGS. 3-6.
Wie insbesondere aus der Figur 4 ersichtlich ist, umfasst die Befestigungsvorrichtung für das Fahrrad zwei parallele, sich in Längsrichtung erstreckende Hohl¬ profile 20, 21, die auf vier Schlitten 19 an den Quer- streben 1 befestigt sind. Die Schlitten 19 können gelöst und entlang der Querstreben 1 verschoben werden, so dass die Hohlprofile 20, 21 unabhängig voneinander positio¬ nierbar sind, wie dies durch die Pfeile 22 angedeutet ist. Somit kann die Position des Fahrrads auf dem Fahr- zeugdach festgelegt werden. Falls nötig kann auch der Ab¬ stand zwischen den Hohlprofilen geändert werden, was eine Anpassung an Räder ungewöhnlicher Dicke erlaubt. In die Hohlprofile 20, 21 sind endseitig vier gebogene Stangen 24 - 27 eingesteckt. Die Position der Stangen 24 - 27 in den Hohlprofilen 20, 21 wird durch ei¬ nen in ein Lochraster 28 eingeführten Stift festgelegt. Durch Verschieben der Stangen 24 - 27 in Längsrichtung 28 kann die Haltevorrichtung nötigenfalls an die Länge des aufzunehmenden Fahrrads angepasst werden.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, the fastening device for the bicycle comprises two parallel, longitudinally extending hollow profiles 20, 21 which are fastened to the cross struts 1 on four slides 19. The slides 19 can be released and moved along the cross struts 1, so that the hollow profiles 20, 21 can be positioned independently of one another, as is indicated by the arrows 22. The position of the bicycle on the vehicle roof can thus be determined. If necessary, the distance between the hollow profiles can also be changed, which allows adaptation to wheels of unusual thickness. Four curved rods 24-27 are inserted into the end of the hollow profiles 20, 21. The position of the rods 24-27 in the hollow profiles 20, 21 is determined by a pin inserted into a hole pattern 28. By moving the rods 24-27 in the longitudinal direction 28, the holding device can, if necessary, be adapted to the length of the bicycle to be accommodated.
Jede gebogene Stange 24 - 27 trägt eine der Klemmbacken 6 - 9. Die Klemmbacken sind ebenfalls gebogen und als L-Profile ausgeformt. Die langen Schenkel 30 der L-Profile liegen in der Transportstellung seitlich an den Rädern 10 bzw. 11 an, während die kurzen Schenkel 31 im wesentlichen dem Radumfang folgen. Somit bilden die Klemmbacken mit den langen Schenkeln 30 eine seitliche Halterung. Gleichzeitig bilden die kurzen Schenkel 31 die Standfläche und einen Längsanschlag für die Räder. Die Verbindung zwischen den L-Schenkeln kann auch abgerundet verlaufen anstelle einer rechtwinkligen Ausgestaltung.Each curved rod 24-27 carries one of the clamping jaws 6-9. The clamping jaws are also curved and shaped as L-profiles. In the transport position, the long legs 30 of the L-profiles rest against the wheels 10 and 11, while the short legs 31 essentially follow the wheel circumference. Thus, the jaws with the long legs 30 form a lateral holder. At the same time, the short legs 31 form the base and a longitudinal stop for the wheels. The connection between the L-legs can also be rounded instead of a rectangular configuration.
Zur Sicherung des Fahrrads in der Transport- position sind die bereits erwähnten Verschlussbänder 12, 13 vorgesehen. Jedes Verschlussband erstreckt sich um je zwei Klemmbacken 6, 7 bzw. 8, 9 und durch die Speichen eines der Räder 10, 11. Es hält die Klemmbacken zusammen und verhindert zugleich ein Herausspringen des Fahrrads. Eines oder beide der Verschlussbänder können mit einemThe locking straps 12, 13 already mentioned are provided to secure the bicycle in the transport position. Each fastener tape extends around two clamping jaws 6, 7 or 8, 9 and through the spokes of one of the wheels 10, 11. It holds the clamping jaws together and at the same time prevents the bicycle from jumping out. One or both of the fastener tapes can be used with one
Schloss versehen sein, das ein Abschliessen gestattet, um einen Diebstahlschutz für das Fahrrad zu bilden.Be provided with a lock that allows locking to provide theft protection for the bicycle.
Zum Öffnen des Dachträgers werden die Ver¬ schlussbänder 12, 13 gelöst (siehe Figur 6) , und die bei- den ausseren Klemmbacken 7, 9 werden um eine horizontale, parallel zum Fahrrad (d.h. senkrecht zu den Fahrradachsen 36) liegende Kippachse 33 nach aussen geschwenkt. Hierzu ist das aussere Hohlprofil 21 über Scharniere 32 an den Schlitten 19 befestigt. Die Klemmbacken 7 und 9 bilden also zusammen eine schwenkbare, starre Einheit.To open the roof rack, the locking straps 12, 13 are loosened (see FIG. 6), and the two outer clamping jaws 7, 9 are turned outward about a horizontal tilting axis 33 which is parallel to the bicycle (ie perpendicular to the bicycle axes 36) pivoted. For this purpose, the outer hollow profile 21 is fastened to the slide 19 via hinges 32. The jaws 7 and 9 thus together form a pivotable, rigid unit.
Ein seitlicher, nur in Figur 6 gezeigter An¬ schlag 34 begrenzt den Öffnungswinkel und stützt die bei- den ausseren Klemmbacken 7, 9. Er gewährleistet einen si¬ cheren Halt des Fahrrads 4 auch in der in Figur 2 gezeig¬ ten Schrägstellung. Dadurch wird die Bedienung der Vor¬ richtung erleichtert, da das Fahrrad sehr einfach der V- förmig geöffneten Halterung entnommen bzw. in diese ein¬ gesetzt werden kann.A side stop 34 shown only in FIG. 6 limits the opening angle and supports the the outer jaws 7, 9. It ensures a secure hold of the bicycle 4 even in the inclined position shown in FIG. This simplifies the operation of the device, since the bicycle can be very easily removed from the V-shaped holder or inserted into it.
In der soweit beschriebenen Ausführung bilden also je zwei Klemmbacken 6, 7, bzw. 8, 9 ein klammerarti¬ ges Halteorgan, das das jeweilige Rad 10, 11 in einer Sollposition festhält. Die Klemmbacken sollten deshalb vorzugsweise so hoch am Rad angreifen, das seitliche Kippkräfte sicher aufgefangen werden können. Hierzu brau¬ chen die Klemmbacken jedoch nicht unbedingt die hier ge¬ zeigte, vorteilhafte Form gebogener L-Profile aufzuwei- sen, solange sie das Rad seitlich sicher zu fixieren ver¬ mögen. In the embodiment described so far, two clamping jaws 6, 7 and 8, 9 respectively form a clamp-like holding element which holds the respective wheel 10, 11 in a desired position. The jaws should therefore preferably engage the wheel so high that lateral tilting forces can be safely absorbed. For this purpose, however, the clamping jaws do not necessarily have to have the advantageous shape of curved L-profiles shown here, as long as they can securely fix the wheel laterally.
