Abstract
Disclosed herein is a bicycle rack for organizing a storage area and associated systems and methods of use thereof. The bicycle rack can be adapted to receive and hold bicycles having various diverse characteristics, and store the bicycles in a space-efficient manner. The bicycle rack can have a tire receiving zone for receiving and holding a tire of a bicycle for storage. The tire receiving zone can have an adjustable zone width, an adjustable zone depth, and an adjustable zone orientation.
Claims20
A bicycle rack for organizing a storage area, comprising:
- a base;
- a mounting portion rotatably coupled to the base and including a track;
- a first subassembly moveably coupled with the track and defining a first lateral side with a first lateral side length, the first subassembly manipulateable between a first extended state and a first retracted state to modify the first lateral side length;
- a second subassembly movably coupled with the track and defining a second lateral side with a second lateral side length, the second subassembly manipulateable between a second extended state and a second retracted state to modify the second lateral side length, wherein the second lateral side faces the first lateral side, and wherein the first and second lateral sides are offset from one another;
- and
- a mechanical coupling moveably coupled with the first and second subassemblies opposite the track, wherein:
- the track, the first subassembly, the second subassembly, and the mechanical coupling cooperate to define a tire receiving zone that is adapted to hold and store a tire of a bicycle,
- the tire receiving zone has:
- a zone width defined by the offset and being adjustable in response to movement of the first and second subassemblies along the track,
- a zone depth defined by the first and second lateral side lengths and being adjustable in response to manipulation of each of the first and second subassemblies, and
- a zone orientation defined by an angular position of the mounting portion and adjustable in response to a rotation of the mounting portion relative to the base.
