US 10,668,967 B2 · Mount having structure wherein coupling means is covered, and locking device for means of transportation using same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a locking device, which is capable of directly locking the body of a means of transportation, such as a bicycle or a light electric vehicle (LEV), regardless of the shape or size thereof, and to a locking device for a means of transportation, which is provided with a mount simply and securely mounted on a tubular frame of the means of transportation, wherein a rack is provided with brackets coupled to the mount and provided at one end of articulated cables, which are fixed to a fixture, so that not only is the locking device securely locked simply by coupling the brackets provided on the rack to the mount mounted on a user's means of transportation, even if the user does not carry a separate lock, but a coupling means, which is capable of disassembling the mount, is covered by the coupling with the brackets when the locking device is locked, thereby significantly reducing the risk of theft during parking.

Claims6

Dependent claims

A mount for a transportation means, mounted on body of a transportation means configured to couple the transportation means to a locking device of a parking system,

wherein the mount includes a RF tag recorded RFID information for specifying a user or the transportation means, and a coupling structure to be mounted on the body of the transportation means,
wherein the coupling structure includes:
C-shaped clamp that is open at a side thereof;
and
a wedge configured to prevent the clamp from being opened, and
wherein the coupling structure is a structure covered by the locking device by coupling the mount with the locking device, and
wherein an uneven rail and guide bar are formed on contact surfaces of the mount and a bracket to be mechanically combined with each other, so that a coupling operation is performed while the guide bar slides along the rail.

4 more elements

A parking system for a transportation means configured to lock/unlock a body of the transportation means to/from a fixture of the rack,

wherein the body of the transportation means comprises:
a mount in which RFID information for specifying a user or the transportation means is recorded, and
a coupling structure mounting the mount on the transportation means, wherein the coupling structure is a structure covered by a locking device by coupling the mount with the locking device,
wherein the rack comprises:
a bracket mechanically coupled with the mount and having a reader reading RFID information recorded in the mount or RFID information with which a user makes contact;
an articulated cable fixed at one side thereof to the bracket and at the other side thereof to the fixture of the rack, and having at least one joint that is bendable so that the bracket may reach the mount regardless of a height, a direction and a position of the mount by a user's adjustment;
and
a lock configured to lock/unlock the coupling of the mount and the bracket based on the RFID information read by the reader, and
wherein an uneven rail and guide bar are formed on contact surfaces of the mount and the bracket to be mechanically combined with each other, so that a coupling operation is performed while the guide bar slides along the rail.
