2. Description of the Related Art Bicycles are left on roads around train stations and shopping streets, obstructing the passage of pedestrians, vehicles, and in the worst case, emergency vehicles, which is a major social problem. Therefore, in recent years, a large number of bicycle parking facilities have been provided. As conventional bicycle parking equipment, a guide rail that guides the bicycle to a predetermined position is simply laid in parallel and horizontally, or a front end portion of the bicycle is installed to allow more bicycles to be parked on a limited site. In addition to the guide rails laid parallel to each other with the height raised,
Various bicycle three-dimensional parking devices that can park a bicycle on a tier have been proposed.

In a conventional bicycle multilevel parking apparatus, guide rails are laid in parallel in a lower parking space when seen in a plan view, and movable rails are longitudinally arranged in a position directly above the guide rails in the upper parking space. A fixed guide rail that is movably housed is fixed substantially horizontally at the predetermined height position on the front end of the fixed guide rail on the upper part of a horizontal beam that is laid horizontally on the support, and the movable rail is rearward when pulled back. It is configured so that the end portion is inclined to a lowered state. To park a bicycle on the upper stage of such a bicycle multi-level parking device, pull out the movable rail, incline it so that its rear end is lowered, place the bicycle on the movable rail, and then move the rear end of the movable rail. The work is carried out after the movable rail is housed in the fixed guide rail by lifting the portion or pushing it forward while lifting.

However, a wide variety of bicycles are now in widespread use, and the conventional bicycle multilevel parking apparatus is expensive from the floor so that a wide variety of bicycles having different sizes and shapes can be parked in the upper and lower tiers. The member that constitutes the upper parking space was fixed at the position. That is, the bicycle multi-level parking device has a structure in which fixed guide rails are fixed substantially horizontally at the upper part of a cross beam that is horizontally installed on columns that are upright at substantially constant intervals in terms of manufacturing and strength. Therefore, among the members forming the upper parking space, the member located at the lowest position is a cross beam that is usually arranged at the front end of the lower parking space, and it is not common to many bicycles currently popular. Since the cage is provided, the horizontal beam is laid horizontally at a high position so that the upper end of the front cage does not hit the lower surface of the horizontal beam when the bicycle having the front cage is parked in the lower parking space. Therefore, the fixed guide rail was inevitably fixed at a high position above the floor.

Further, in the conventional bicycle multi-level parking apparatus, in order to allow more bicycles to be parked in a limited area, the lower parking space has a substantially horizontal low-level guide rail and a high-level high front end. The guide rails are laid alternately and parallel to each other when seen in a plane. In the upper parking space, the fixed guide rails are located directly above the guide rails, and the horizontal beams of the horizontal beams are laid on the columns. It is generally fixed at the upper part, and since the high-position fixed guide rail located directly above the high-position guide rail is fixed to the cross beam via a spacer, this high-position fixed guide rail is located directly above the low-position guide rail. It was fixed at a position higher than the lower fixed guide rail that was directly fixed to the cross beam.

[0006] Specifically, in terms of manufacturing and strength, the bicycle multilevel parking device is a rectangular tubular member having a thickness of 3.2 mm and a cross-sectional shape of 100 mm x 100 mm, for example, as a horizontal beam that is laid horizontally on a pillar. Etc. are used, so even if you park a bicycle that is larger than the most common 26-inch type or a bicycle that has a front cage on such a large bicycle, you can park the bicycle in the upper parking space. Since the horizontal beam as described above was placed on the pillar with its upper surface positioned at a height of, for example, 1130 mm from the floor surface so as not to abut each member constituting the bicycle, it is possible to park the bicycle on the upper stage. There is a drawback in that it is difficult for women and girls to park their bicycles on the upper tier because a lot of work is required to unload them.

That is, when the bicycle is parked on the upper stage of the bicycle multi-level parking apparatus, the movable rail is pulled out from the fixed guide rail and the rear end is tilted so that the bicycle is mounted on the movable rail as described above. After placing the movable rail, lift the rear end of the movable rail or push it forward while holding it up to store the movable rail in the fixed guide rail, or when lowering the bicycle parked on the upper stage, use the fixed guide. Since the movable rail housed in the rail is pulled out backward and the rear end is lowered to incline the movable rail, the bicycle must be lowered from the movable rail. In a conventional bicycle multi-level parking device that is fixed in position, the movable rail is raised to a higher position at its rear end, There is a problem that a lot of labor is required because it has to be stored in or pulled out from the fixed guide rails, and in particular, in the case of a woman or a child with a short height and weak power, the above-mentioned problem occurs. However, there was a drawback that it appeared more prominently.

[0008]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and in a bicycle three-dimensional parking apparatus capable of three-dimensionally parking a bicycle in two upper and lower tiers, the bicycle can be parked or unloaded in the upper tier. Bicycle multi-level parking device that can reduce the labor required for work compared to conventional devices and can park the most commonly used 26-inch or smaller bicycle equipped with a front cage at the bottom. The challenge is to provide.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the inventors of the present invention have found that a lower horizontal guide rail and an inclined high guide rail with a high front end are provided in a lower parking space. The guide rails are laid alternately and parallel to each other when seen in a plan view. In the upper parking space, movable rails are housed movably in the longitudinal direction directly above the guide rails. The lower and higher fixed guide rails are substantially horizontal. In a bicycle three-dimensional parking device having its front end fixed to the upper part of a cross beam that is laid horizontally on a column, the member that is located at the lowest position among the members that configure the upper parking space is the cross beam. When the bicycle is parked in the lower parking space, the equipment extends from the highest part of the center of the bicycle viewed from the front to the bottom of the fixed guide rail in the upper parking space above it. Paying attention to the fact that there is a gap, the 26-inch bicycle equipped with a front cage on the lower guide rail is parked at the position where the front cage abuts and the center of the bicycle seen from the front. A horizontal beam is laid horizontally with its upper surface located at a position of 970 to 1020 mm above the floor, which is a position higher than the highest part, and each fixed guide rail is further mounted on each guide rail directly below it. If the rear end is located at a position where the movable rail does not contact the bicycle when the inch-type bicycle is parked and the movable rail is tilted by pulling the movable rail backward, the conventional bicycle solid Since the fixed guide rail of the upper parking space for parking the bicycle in the upper stage is lower than that of the parking device, it is possible to park or lower the bicycle in the upper parking space at a lower position. Not only is it possible to reduce the labor, but it is possible to park a bicycle in the lower parking space up to the 26-inch type bicycle equipped with the most popular front cage. The present invention has been completed by investigating that it hardly occurs.

Further, a pair of a lower parking space and an upper parking space are provided on both sides of the horizontal beam so as to face each other across the horizontal beam when seen in a plan view, and a low-level guide rail and a high-level guide adjacent to each parking space on one side are provided. If the corresponding guide rail and fixed guide rail of each parking space on the other side are provided on the extension of the center line between the rail and the lower fixed guide rail and the higher fixed guide rail, respectively. A large number of bicycles can be parked in the narrow site, and in this case, the effective utilization rate of the land if the front end of the fixed guide rail of the upper parking space projects beyond the upper surface of the cross beam to the upper parking space facing It was also clarified that not only the above-mentioned improvement but also the consideration of the strength of the member of the fixed guide rail is less necessary.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A bicycle multilevel parking apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of a bicycle multilevel parking apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing FIG.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a lower parking space in which a guide rail 2 for positioning the bicycle 10 is laid, and a large number of bicycles 10 can be parked in a site having a limited area as the guide rail 2. As described above, the substantially horizontal low-level guide rails 2a whose front ends are low and the inclined high-level guide rails 2b whose front ends are high are laid in an alternating and parallel state when seen in a plane. That is, when the bicycles 10 are parked on the adjacent guide rails 2, the lower guide rails 2a should be slid vertically so that the front end portions of the bicycles 10 do not hit each other.
And the high-level guide rail 2b are in the above state,
The inclination angle of the high-order guide rail 2b is generally in the range of 7 to 10 degrees.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a fixed guide rail 6 in which a movable rail 7 is housed movably in the longitudinal direction at a position directly above each of the guide rails 2 and its front end portion is at a proper interval in consideration of strength. It is an upper parking space that is fixed to the upper part of a horizontal beam 5 that is horizontally installed on an upright pillar 4.

The cross beam 5 is located at a position where the front cage 10b of the bicycle 10 abuts when the 26-inch bicycle 10 having the front cage 10b is parked on the lower guide rail 2a of the lower parking space 1. A floor surface that is higher than the highest part in the center of the bicycle 10 when viewed from the front (usually the upper surface of the front cage 10b, but may be the central portion of the handle or the upper surface of the saddle). Height H from 970 to 102
Its upper surface is located at 0 mm. The state in which the bicycle 10 is parked on the guide rail 2 is provided with a guide body 9 for holding the front portion of the bicycle 10 and regulating the position thereof, which will be described later. The position of the bicycle 10 is regulated while holding the front of the bicycle.

Further, as described above, the fixed guide rail 6 is substantially horizontal to the position directly above the guide rail 2 and has its front end portion provided with the horizontal beam 5.
Since it is fixed to the upper part of the car, and the lower parking space 1 is laid with a guide rail 2 consisting of a low guide rail 1a and a high guide rail 2b, the guide rail 2 is equipped with a front basket 10b and is a 26-inch type. With the bicycle 10 parked, the height of the bottom of the fixed guide rail 6 from the floor can be adjusted as long as the highest part of the center of the bicycle 10 viewed from the front does not abut the bottom of the fixed guide rail 6. The lower fixed guide rail 6a is directly fixed to the upper surface of the cross beam 5 at a position directly above the lower guide rail 1a, and the higher fixed guide rail 6b is an upper surface of the cross beam 5 at a position directly above the higher guide rail 2b so as to be as low as possible. It is being fixed to via the spacer 8. At this time, since the inclination angle of the high-level guide rail 2b laid in the lower parking space 1 is generally in the range of 7 to 10 degrees, the front cage 10b is provided on the adjacent low-level guide rail 2a and high-level guide rail 2b. There is a maximum height difference of 140 mm in the center of the bicycle 10 when viewed from the front with the 26-inch bicycle 10 parked.
The height from the fixed floor surface of b can be limited to a maximum of 1160 mm. The height of the bottom surface of the fixed guide rail 6 from the floor may be such that the handle of the bicycle 10 has a grip portion higher than the center portion of the handle as in the illustrated embodiment. This is because the fixed guide rail 6 is fixed at a position directly above the guide rail 2 even if it is of a type called "."

Reference numeral 9 denotes a guide rail 2 and a movable rail 7 as in the illustrated embodiment in order to hold and regulate the positions of the bicycle 10 parked in the lower parking space 1 and the bicycle 11 parked in the upper parking space. Bicycles that can be parked and fixed to the front end of the side wall of the bicycle 1
It is a U-shaped guide body when viewed in a plane that abuts against the side surfaces of the front wheels of 0 and 11.

In such a structure, the fixed guide rail 6 is a 26-inch type bicycle having a maximum height that can be parked on the guide rail 2 of the lower parking space 1 immediately below the fixed guide rail 6.
The rear end of the movable rail 7 is positioned so that the movable rail 7 does not come into contact with the bicycle 10 when the movable rail 7 is pulled rearward and tilted while the vehicle 10 is parked. It is determined by the engagement state of the fixed guide rail 6 and the movable rail 7 in the space 3.

Further, as the bicycle 10 parked on the lower guide rail 2, as shown in the illustrated embodiment, the bicycle 10 is not provided with an auxiliary chair for placing a basket or an infant above the rear wheel. Since the rear end of the rail 6 can be positioned relatively forward and the length of the bicycle multi-dimensional parking device according to the present invention in the front-rear direction can be shortened, it can be installed in a narrower site, which is preferable.

In order to allow a large number of bicycles to be parked on a small site, such a set of the lower parking space 1 and the upper parking space 3 face each other across the cross beam 5 when seen in a plan view. It is preferable that it is configured as follows. In this case, on the extension of the center line between the low-level guide rails 2a and the high-level guide rails 2b adjacent to each other in the parking spaces 1 and 3 on one side and between the low-level fixed guide rails 6a and the high-level fixed guide rails 6b. Parking spaces 1, 3 on the other side
The guide rails 2 and the fixed guide rails 6 will be positioned, and if the front end of the fixed guide rails 6 projects beyond the upper surface of the cross beam 5 into the upper parking space 3 facing each other, the site will be more effective. It is more preferable not only that the fixed guide rail 6 can be utilized but also that the length of the cantilever of the fixed guide rail 6 can be shortened to eliminate the need to consider the strength of the member as the fixed guide rail 6.

The movable rail 7 of the upper parking space 3 of the bicycle three-dimensional parking apparatus according to the present invention having the above-described structure.
To park the bicycle 11 on the bicycle, pull out the movable rail 7 from the fixed guide rail 6 and incline it so that the rear end of the movable rail 7 is lowered.
After pushing up and placing the front and rear wheels, the rear end of the movable rail 7 is lifted against gravity and pushed forward or while being lifted to store the movable rail 7 in the fixed guide rail 6. To do. Further, in order to lower the bicycle 11 parked on the movable rail 7 of the upper parking space 3, the movable rail 7 on which the bicycle 11 is mounted and stored in the fixed guide rail 6 is pulled out backward and then gravity is applied to the movable rail 7. After tilting the end portion in a lowered state, the bicycle 11 is moved rearward along the movable rail 7 and lowered.

When performing such work, the 26-inch bicycle 10 having the front cage 10b is placed in the lower parking space 1
The height H from the floor, which is the position where the front basket 10b of the bicycle 10 comes into contact with the bicycle 10 parked on the lower guide rail 2a of the bicycle 10 and the position higher than the highest part of the center of the bicycle 10 viewed from the front, is 970. Since the upper beam is located at a position of ~ 1020mm and the cross beam 5 is laid horizontally, the lower fixed guide rail 6a of the upper parking space 3 is fixed substantially horizontally at a height position of 970-1020mm from the floor. Since it is fixed at a lower position than the conventional device, the position at which the movable rail 7 is operated is inevitably low, so that the effort for parking or unloading the bicycle 11 in the upper parking space 3 is reduced. Since the work can be reduced and the above-mentioned work can be easily performed, and the height from the fixed floor of the high-position fixed guide rail 6b can be limited to a maximum of 1160 mm, it can be installed at the highest position. Upper parking space Since the movable rail 7 of the scan 3 in the lower parking space 1 and the lower guide rail 2a and the high guide rail 2b can be operated at a lower position as compared with the conventional apparatus which is laid and on the state alternately,
The work for parking or unloading the bicycle 11 in the upper parking space 3 is reduced and the above-mentioned work can be easily performed. Further, when the bicycle 11 is parked in the upper parking space 3, the bicycle 11 Since the maximum height of the device can be made lower than that of the conventional device described above, when the device of the present invention is installed in a facility with a roof, the height of the ceiling of the facility can be reduced.

[0022]

As described above in detail, in the bicycle multi-level parking apparatus according to the present invention, the 26-inch type bicycle having the horizontal beam provided with the front cage is parked on the lower guide rail while the front cage of the bicycle is parked. The height from the floor, which is the position where it abuts and is higher than the highest part in the center when the bicycle is viewed from the front, is 970 to 1
Since the upper beam is located at the position of 020 mm and the cross beam is laid across, the work of operating the movable rail of the upper parking space and parking or unloading the bicycle in the upper parking space is compared with the conventional device. It can be performed at a low position, the labor required for the above-mentioned work is reduced, and it can be easily performed even by relatively weak ladies and girls.

Further, a pair of a lower parking space and an upper parking space are provided on both sides of the horizontal beam so as to face each other across the horizontal beam when seen in a plan view, and a low-level guide rail and a high-level guide adjacent to each parking space on one side are provided. If the corresponding guide rail and fixed guide rail of each parking space on the other side are provided on the extension of the center line between the rail and the lower fixed guide rail and the higher fixed guide rail, respectively. A large number of bicycles can be parked in the narrow premises, and this effect is more effective when the front end of the fixed guide rail of the upper parking space projects above the upper surface of the cross beam to the opposite upper parking space. It can be demonstrated.

Since the height of the fixed guide rail in the upper parking space can be limited to a maximum of 1160 mm and can be made lower than that of the conventional apparatus, the ceiling of a roofed facility equipped with the apparatus of the present invention can be Since the height can be lowered, the height of each floor of the building can be lowered when the device of the present invention is installed in a building on a plurality of floors, and the labor for carrying the bicycle to the upper floor can be reduced. It is possible to reduce the construction cost of the building as well as the construction cost.
