Description
~ECURITY BICYC~E 8TAND
Field of the Invention -This invention relates to bicycle stands.
. .
More particularly, the invention relates to such stands for stationary parking of bicycles that are provided with a secure theft resistant locking system and which may be combined with a storage locker.
Background of the Invention While bicycling has remained a healthful and non-polluting form of transportation, it has not been widely adapted for such activities such as commuting because of the problems caused by bicycles being an attractive target for theft. Another problem i6 that equipment such as helmets and backpacks carried by a cyclist are cumbersome in the event the cyclist wishes to park his bicycle, for example, at a bus or commuter train station in order to continue commuting to work.
Various proposals for bicycle stands with or without lockers have heretofore been suggested. See for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 3,762,569; 3,827,773;
3,865,245; 3,964,611, 4,080,020; 4,830,167; and 5,040,385. In spite of these various suggested de-signs, a need yet exists for a simple but secure and theft resistant design for a bicycle stand.
~ummary of the Invention The principal object of the present inven-tion is to overcome the foregoing shortcomings and to provide a theft resistant stand suitable for location in such areas as commuter train stations, parking lots, and similar locations. According to one aspect of the invention, such a stand is provided that en~
ables the use of a conventional U-shaped shackle lock frequently carried by cyclists to secure the bicycle in the stand. In a related aspect, the invention uti-lizes such a lock to secure the bicycle frame and both wheels by means of a single mechanism. A still fur-ther aspect of the invention is that the same lock can be used to lock a bicycle and a locker storage com-partment in a theft resistant manner.
An further important aspect of the invention relates to providing a device wherein a shackle lock of a type conventionally carried by bicyclists can be used to secure the bicycle and is protected against access by tools such as bolt cutters or hack saws.
~riefly summarized, the invention provides a bicycle stand including a stationary upright member anchored to the ground and horizontally oriented open-ended enclosure of rectangular cross section attached to its top with an opening in one side thereof to re-ceive a bicycle securing arm. A pivotable second mem-ber carrying three arms is adapted to engage a bicy-cle. One of the arms is aligned with and adapted to pass through the opening, an aperture to receive a leg of a shackle lock placed within the enclosure to lock the bicycle in the stand. A storage compartment can serve as one of the upright members and is secured by the same lock.

Description of a Preferre~ Embodiment Referring to the drawing~ there is seen in Figure 1 a bicycle stand 10 with a bicycle 12 locked in place. Stand 10 includes a base member 14 which may be secured to the ground, for example, by bolts or by embedding the same in cement. In the embodiment of Figures 1-8 a first stationary upright member is in the form of an upright storage compartment 16 secured .
to base 14. A tunnel-shaped enclosure 18 is pivotally attached to the top of compartment 16 at pivot axis - ~
19. ~ .
_ 4 _ A second upright member 20 pivotally at-tached to base member 14 carrie6 bicycle engaging arms 22, 24 and 26, a cro6s member 25 being provided to support the lateral arms 24 and 26. An opening in the form of 610t 28 in the side of enclosure 18 is aligned-~
with and receives arm 22 when upright member 20 is pivoted to the vertical position. ;~
Arm 22 is provided with an aperture 30 to receive a lock 32. Preferably a slot 34 (or alterna-tively, a hole) is provided in the side of enclosure 18 in order to allow acce6s of a key 36 into lock cyl~
inder 38 of lock 32. Preferably an inner housing 35 i6 welded or otherwise attached to the interior of enclo6ure 18 in order to prevent movement of lock 32.
lS Housing 35 i6 also formed with a slot 37 aligned with 610t 28 to receive arm 22. While a conventional shack-le lock i6 shown in Figures 7 and 8, it will be appar-ent that other padlocks could also be used in connec-tion with the invention. Further baffles 39 and 40 are provided to further restrict movement of lock 32 and to make it inaeees~ible to bolt eutters.
A horizontal eross member or metal bar 40 i6 attaehed to the slde of upright storage eompartment ;~
16. Horizontal bar 40 i8 provid~d with op~nings 42 and 44 whieh are aligned with and adapted to reeeive arms 24 and 26, respeetively, when member 20 is pivot- ~ ;~
ed to the vertical position. As best 6een in Figure 1, arm 22 is adapted to prevent removal of the eentral frame of bicyele 12 from the raek while arm6 24 and 26 are adapted to hold the bicycle wheels in place and prevent removal thereof.
, As be6t 6een in Figure6 5-7, security enclo-6ure 18 also provides a door to close the top of com-partment 16. The upper corner of compartment 16 oppo-site pivot point 19 is provid-d with a lip 45. It ..,~....
"'' ,:'~ `' ,, ..., ..: .
'"':' :" ~' ~_,...
will be noted that pivot point 19, which may be de-fined by a single elongated bolt or rod or, alterna-tively, two separate rivets or bolts, is fitted in an elongated slot 47 so as to permit sliding of enclosure 18 to the left as seen in Figure 6 or to the right as seen in Figure 7. A clip 49 is welded or riveted to the bottom of enclosure 18 so that the free end of enclosure 18 can be retained in place when enclosure 16 is closed. As seen in Figure 6, when clip 49 is disengaged from lip 45 enclosure 18 can be pivoted upwardly to the position shown in Figure 5 to allow access to compartment 16. However, when enclosure 18 is pivoted downwardly to the position shown in Figure 6 and then moved by sliding to the right to the posi-tion shown in Figure 7, clip 49 engages lip 45 80 that compartment 16 cannot be opened. Slot 34 is then aligned with arm 22. Arms 24 and 26 simultaneou61y enter openings 42 and 44. The presence of arms 24 and 26 in their respective openings prevénts movement from side-to-side of upright 20. Thu~, due to the close ~it between arm 22 and slot 28 encIosure 18 cannot be moved to the le~t from the position shown in Figure 7.
Thus, with lock 32 in place enclo~ure 18 cannot be flipped upwardly to open compartmen~ 16.
It is thus seen that lock 32 holds the bicy-cle in place while simultaneously locking compartment 16. Enclosure 18, preferably formed of a tough mate-rial such as rolled steel, stainlèss steel or the like, renders access to a lock 32 with aa bolt cutter difficult unless enclosure 18 is first destroyed by some other means. The components of the stand can be coated with a thick resilient vinyl or similar plastic coating in order to provide protection to the finish of the bicycles.
In the further embodiment of Figure 9, stor-. . .
' ~, age compartment 16 is eliminated and instead cross ~ :
member 25 i6 attached to a stationary upright member 50 which may be a steel bar. Enclosure 18 i6 attached to the top of bar 50, for example, by welding. The embodiment of Figure 9 provides a stand for securely locking a bicycle in theft resistant fashion without the added cost of storage compartment 16. : :
While preferred embodiments of the invention have been shown, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that further modifications of the invention can be made without departing from the scope of the following claims or the spirit of the invention.

Description of a Preferre~ Embodiment Referring to the drawing~ there is seen in Figure 1 a bicycle stand 10 with a bicycle 12 locked in place. Stand 10 includes a base member 14 which may be secured to the ground, for example, by bolts or by embedding the same in cement.

lS Housing 35 i6 also formed with a slot 37 aligned with 610t 28 to receive arm 22. While a conventional shack-le lock i6 shown in Figures 7 and 8, it will be appar-ent that other padlocks could also be used in connec-tion with the invention. Further baffles 39 and 40 are provided to further restrict movement of lock 32 and to make it inaeees~ible to bolt eutters.
