Bicycle transport case

A bicycle transport case comprising:

• a container adapted to be opened and closed including a first outer side and a second outer side and having a chamber for receiving a bicycle frame defined by interior sides of the first and second outer sides;
• a retaining device configured to retain the bicycle frame at various angular orientations pivotally and detachably connected to the container, wherein the retaining device includes a main guide rail pivotally connected to the container about an axis and at least one retaining stand for retaining the bicycle frame movably mounted on the main guide rail and adapted to be locked in various positions on the main guide rail;
• and
• at least one seat coupling the retaining device to the container, wherein the retaining device includes at least one joint mechanism pivotally and detachably connected to the at least one seat, wherein the at least one seat defines a cavity and the at least one joint mechanism is pivotally engaged in the cavity, wherein the at least one joint mechanism includes a first connecting structure having one end connected to the main guide rail and another end pivotally engaged in the cavity, a second connecting structure pivotally engaged in the cavity and biasingly engaged with the first connecting structure, and at least one biasing member positioned between the first and second connecting structures, wherein the at least one joint mechanism is pivotal to a fixed position in which the at least one retaining stand retains the bicycle frame in an upright position, and wherein the at least one seat defines a slot extending from the cavity and the first connecting structure protrudes into the slot when the at least one joint mechanism is pivoted to the fixed position.

• a retaining device configured to retain the bicycle frame at various angular orientations pivotally and detachably connected to the container, wherein the retaining device includes a main guide rail pivotally connected to the container about an axis and two retaining stands for retaining the bicycle frame movably mounted on the main guide rail and adapted to be locked in various positions on the main guide rail, and wherein the two retaining stands are positioned in a spaced relationship;
• two seats coupling the retaining device to the container, wherein the two seats are fixedly connected to the container and positioned in a spaced relationship, wherein the retaining device includes two joint mechanisms pivotally and detachably connected to the two seats respectively, wherein the two seats respectively define two cavities and the two joint mechanisms are pivotally engaged in the two cavities of the two seats respectively, wherein each of the two joint mechanisms includes a first connecting structure that has one end connected to the main guide rail and another end pivotally engaged in one of the two cavities, a second connecting structure pivotally engaged in the one of the two cavities and biasingly engaged with the first connecting structure, and at least one biasing member positioned between the first and second connecting structures, wherein the two joint mechanisms are pivotal to a fixed position in which the two retaining stands retain the bicycle frame in an upright position, and wherein the two seats respectively define two slots extending from the two cavities and the first connecting structures protrude into the two slots respectively when the two joint mechanisms are pivoted to a fixed position.
