Anti-theft bicycle

Abstract

A non-motorized bicycle frame construction, comprising anti-theft apparatus which is a permanent integral part of the bicycle frame when constructed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The present invention relates in general and exclusively to apparatus for a non-motorized conventional bicycle frame construction, to be used for preventing theft of a bicycle, and further used for preventing theft of a bicycle tire or tires from the bicycle frame.

[0006] The conventional bicycle frame, with or without changeable speed mechanism's has no anti-theft apparatus which is integral with the bicycle frame when constructed.

[0007] Many times the person who is riding the bicycle has to carry locks and chains and sometimes tools in order to secure the bicycle or bicycle tires from theft while the rider is away from the bicycle attending to other things.

[0008] Another frequent occurrence for preventing theft of the bicycle tires is one tire is often removed from its normal usable place and coupled together with the other tire and locked to the bicycle frame.

[0009] This means that upon returning to the bicycle the rider has to unlock the tire and reinstall it back to its usable place and then put the lock away. Usually the lock has to be secured somewhere else on the bicycle frame. These are cumbersome and undesirable feats which take extra time and effort in order for the rider to have the convenience of leaving the bicycle.

[0010] Although there are a variety of locks presently being sold on the market for bicycles, none of them are as presented herein, set in position so as to be integral with the bicycle frame and permanently positioned to be ready for instantaneous use.

[0011] Instead the locks which are presently available and for sale are stored and locked somewhere else on the bicycle frame and away from the place where the lock is actually used.

[0012] This requires the rider of the bicycle to remove the lock from the place where it is stored and then carry the lock to the place where it is needed, and further install and position the lock so it will be able to be used, and then locate the key chamber on the lock so the rider will be able to access the chamber which in most instances is not in a position where the rider can instantly insert the key.

[0013] Furthermore, after returning and unlocking the lock, it must then be taken from its place of use and returned back to its place on the bicycle frame where it is stored, and then secured and locked in its stored place in order for the lock itself not to be stolen.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to provide a bicycle frame with locks which having previously been set by the manufacturer in a permanent place on the bicycle frame, and continueously ready for instantaneous and easy use by the rider.

[0015] A further object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle frame wherein the front or back tire does not have to be removed away from its normal usable place in order to be locked to the bicycle frame to prevent theft.

[0016] A further object of the present invention is to provide a locking, securing means for the bicycle frame wherein the securing means may be pulled out of the bicycle frame tubing for use, and then received into a permanently positioned and continuously ready for instantaneous use locking mechanism which is designed to receive the pulled out securing means and lock the same therein.

[0017] A further object of the present invention is to provide a lock which has a pivoting member which is permanently anchored on one side of the bicycle frame and is adaptable to pivot, fit through the bicycle tire spokes or rim, and then engage with a receiving locking mechanism member which is also permanently located and continuously ready for instantaneous use on the opposite, other side of the bicycle frame, and locks the pivoting member therein for easy use.

[0018] A further object of the present invention is to provide a securing feature for the pivoting member, to maintain, hold the pivoting member in an out-of-the-way position without removing the pivoting member, and its receiving locking mechanism from their usable position.

[0019] A further object of the present invention is to provide the rider of the bicycle with locks for the bicycle frame which do not have to be removed from their usable place in order to ride the bicycle.

[0020] A further object of the present invention is to provide a place for the bicycle lock key to fit in the lock on the outerside of the bicycle frame for easy access to the key chamber for locking and unlocking the apparatus.

[0021] To accomplish the forgoing and many other objects and features and advantages of the invention there is provided a bicycle frame constructed of tubing-type material wherein is located a securing means.

[0022] This securing means is constructed of chain link-type members.

[0023] The chain is connected to a spring-type member which is also located within the tubing.

[0024] The spring is connected to a pin which is secured, anchored to the bicycle tubing, inside.

[0025] The tubing has an opening which is used for exposing a portion of the chain.

[0026] The exposed portion of the chain may be pulled out of the tubing by a persons finger.

[0027] After being pulled out, the chain is used to engage an object which is preferably secured and unmovable.

[0028] The object may be for instance, a fence or a telephone pole.

[0029] After engaging, wrapping the chain around the unmovable object, the chain is then secured, locked inside a locking mechanism which is located on the bicycle frame.

[0030] This locking mechanism is used for receiving the chain and is permanently positioned for instantaneous use and fastened to the bicycle frame.

[0031] This act secures the bicycle while the rider is away.

[0032] After returning to the bicycle and unlocking the chain, the spring which is located inside the tubing, pulls the chain back into the tubing.

[0033] This makes returning the chain effortless.

[0034] The rider of the bicycle does not have to remove the lock after unlocking the chain because the lock is permanently positioned and secured to the bicycle frame and always ready for instantaneous use.

[0035] The rider merely puts the key back in his or her pocket.

[0036] The chain does not have to be removed or stored away by the rider because the chain automatically returns back to its permanently positioned and always instantaneous ready to use place.

[0037] This now makes the securing of the bicycle, locking and unlocking easy.

[0038] It is further understood that although chain link-type material is used for securing the bicycle frame, other suitable type materials may be used for securing the bicycle frame, such as for instance, steel-type wire, or for that matter any other strong material which is suitable for this performance.

[0039] Of course, if another suitable type material is used, it shall comprise of all features that are included with the chain-link material, which are hereinafter mentioned, stop members, retracting member, ect.

[0040] In further reference to the anti-theft apparatus for bicycle tires, there is provided a pivoting member which is permanently attached and positioned so as to be always ready for instantaneous use.

[0041] The pivoting member is attached to a portion of the bicycle frame which supports the bicycle tire, namely the frame fork.

[0042] The pivoting member is received into a locking mechanism which is also permanently attached and positioned so as to be always ready for instantaneous use.

[0043] The locking mechanism is also attached to the bicycle frame fork.

[0044] After the pivoting member is received into the locking mechanism it is secured, locked therein, and is later released, unlocked by a key which fits into a chamber located in the locking mechanism.

[0045] The pivoting member is located on one side, and the locking mechanism is located on the opposite side of the bicycle frame.

[0046] The pivoting member is designed so as to fit through the bicycle tire spokes or bicycle tire rim, and thereby secure the bicycle tire to the fork, and thus prevent the tire from being removed from the bicycle frame.

[0047] It is understood that the pivoting member may also be inserted through the bicycle tire spokes or bicycle tire rim by being inserted straight through the spokes or rim without having to be pivoted there through.

[0048] It is further understood that the bicycle tire locking device may be modified and used for the aforesaid bicycle frame fork or to fit a bicycle frame which employs, uses a semi-fork instead of a full fork, namely a fork which employs only one leg.

[0049] It is further understood that if the bicycle tire locking device is modified, the concept remains the same and the device includes means for permanent securing in place on the bicycle frame for instantaneous use.
