Abstract
A bicycle stand which holds a bicycle upright in place, and to which the bicycle may be locked. An upright member, embedded in cement, or anchored to a base plate, has an arm pinned hingeably, with parallel plates welded on each side of the arm that project past the free end of the arm. A U-shaped bracket is hinged to one plate, which may be passed about a frame member of a bicycle and fitted into a slot in the plate, with holes in the bracket for fastening the shackle of a lock, with the lock shackle completely enclosed by the two parallel plates in the latched position.
Claims1
A bicycle stand for retaining a bicycle in a locked position with the shackles of the lock protected from removal in the locked position, comprising
- a base member adaptable for mounting along a vertical axis,
- an arm member fastened to the base member, with
- a pair of plates, spaced apart from each other, fitted to the arm member, said spacing being of a size to fit about a lock, with
- a U-shaped bracket pivotably fixed to the arm member so that the bracket may go about a section of a bicycle frame or wheel, with a free end section of the bracket passing through a slot in one of the said plates so that said free end section of the bracket lies between the two said plates in the latched position of the bracket, said free end of the bracket formed with one or more holes of a size to fit a shackle of a lock,
- in which the two plates are of a size to completely enclose both sides of the lock shackle of a lock which is fastened through a hole of the bracket in the latched position of the bracket and in which
- the arm member is pivotably fastened to the base member to rotate in a plane parallel to the axis of the base member by hinge means, so that the arm member may be rotated into a position to enable the bracket to fit about a section of a bicycle frame or wheel of a bicycle which is standing adjacent to the base member, for a wide range of bicycle sizes.
