The present insertion relates to a technical field of bicycle accessory structure, and more particularly to a bicycle parking stand securing structure.
A bicycle parking stand is as commonly used accessory for a bicycle, and there are two types of bicycle parking stands in market in order to meet various types of bicycles. One of the two types of bicycle parking stands is a fixed bicycle parking, stand which is fixed at the destination, so that a user can move a bicycle close to and park in the fixed bicycle parking stand. The other type of bicycle parking stand is a structure assembled on the bicycle frame and has advantage of carriable with the bicycle, convenient to operate, and simple structure. The carriable bicycle parking stand is the most commonly used type, but also has many drawbacks in use,

The combination member 20 is pivoted on an end of the parking stand 10 and has a combination part 21, and the combination part 21 has a long bearing surface 22, and a middle hole 221 and two side holes 222 cut through the long bearing surface 22. The two side holes 222 are disposed on two sides of the middle hole 221, and collinearly arranged with the middle hole 221 in interval along a length direction of the long bearing surface 22, and the distances from centers of the two side holes 222 to a center of the middle hole 221 are equal to each other.
The long press member 30 includes a main screw 31 and two side screws 32, a second middle hole 34 disposed correspondingly in position to the middle hole 221, and two second side holes 35 disposed correspondingly in position to the two side holes 222. The main screw 31, the two side screws 32, the second middle hole 34 and the two second side holes 35 are arranged along a length direction of the long press member 30. The main screw 31 is inserted through and assembled with the second middle hole 34 to screw with the middle hole 221, and the two side screws 32 are inserted through and assembled with the two second side hole 35 to screw with the two side holes 222, respectively. Thee main screw 31 and the two side screws 32 are screwed toward a screwing direction to force the long press member 30 to move close to the long bearing surface 22, and the two side screws 32 are two-side-symmetrically abutted against the long press member 30.
According to aforementioned descriptions, in order to mount the bicycle parking stand securing structure of the present invention with a bicycle frame 40, the long bearing surface 22 on the combination part 21 of the combination member 20 at the upper end of the parking stand 10 can be abutted against lower sides of two lower fork rods 41 of a five-way bracket of the bicycle frame 40, and the long bearing surface 22 below the two lower fork rods 41 is adjusted to make the middle hole 221 and the two side holes 222 are located between the two lower fork rods 41; next, the main screw 31 is inserted through and assembled with the second middle hole 34, to screw into the middle hole 221; the side screws 32 are inserted through and assembled with the second side holes 35, to screw into the two side holes 222, respectively, so as to support the long press member 30 and prevent the long press member 30 from being deflected, as shown in
Features of members of the bicycle parking stand securing structure of the present invention are described in detail in the following paragraphs. As shown in
Furthermore, a diameter of each side screw 32 can be equal to or lower than that of the main screw 31, the two side screws 32 can apply symmetrical forces with respect to the main screw 31, so as to pressure the long press member 30 to achieve the firmer tightly-clamping effect.
The long bearing surface 22 has a plurality of friction protrusions 223 disposed thereon and arranged in interval, and when the two lower fork rods 41 of the bicycle frame 40 are clamped by the long bearing surface 22 and the long press member 30, the plurality of friction protrusions 223 can apply better clamping and securing effect on the lower fork rods 41.
As shown in
In an embodiment, the parking stand 10 includes a main support post 11, and a sliding support post 12 mounted with the main support post 11. The support post 12 has a locating assembly 13 disposed on a side thereof, the sliding support post 12 is slidable on the main support post 11 to adjust a telescopic length of the parking stand 10, and after the telescopic length is adjusted, the locating assembly 13 can be tightly fastened; as shown by solid lines and dashed lines in
According to above-described contents of the present invention, the two side screws 32 screwed at two sides of the main screw 31 can prevent the long press member 30 and the long bearing surface 22 from being deflected with respect to each other; with the configuration of the long press member 30 and the long bearing surface 22 not being deflected with respect to each other, the problem that the combination member may be deflected by an excessive swing force when the parking stand 10 is downwardly extended to support with the ground or is upwardly folded can be solved. The bicycle parking stand securing structure of the present invention has the following advantages.
First, the two side screws 32 can apply symmetrical reinforcement packing force on the long press member 30 at the two sides of the main screw 31, to pressure the long press member 30 to clamp the two lower fork rods 41 with respect to the long bearing surface 22, so as to form the two-side-symmetrical reinforcement securing clamp.
Secondly, the bicycle parking stand securing structure of the present invention can firmly clamp the bicycle frame 40 for mounting, so as to provide stable support for parking.
The present invention disclosed herein has been described by means of specific embodiments. However, numerous modifications, variations and enhancements can be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure set forth in the claims,
