Bicycle stand

A collapsible bicycle stand for supporting a bicycle on a surface, the stand comprising:

• a telescoping post;
• support means for supporting the bicycle, the support means being mounted on an upper end of said post and pivotally rotatable between a support position and a collapsed position, said support means including a first support arm selectively placed in one of a multiplicity of positions including a plurality of support position;
• and
• at least a pair of legs connected to a bottom portion of said post, said legs being pivotally movable between a first position wherein said legs are almost parallel to the floor for supporting the bottom portion of said post closer to the floor when the stand is in use, and a second position wherein said legs are folded and are generally parallel to said post, when the stand is not in use.

• support means for supporting the bicycle, the support means being mounted on an upper end of said post, and pivotally rotatable between a support position and a collapsed position;
• at least a pair of legs connected to a bottom portion of said post, each leg including a cross bar which is rotatably connected to the bottom end of said post and a base bar rotatably connected to said cross bar, such that said base bar is pivotally movable between a generally parallel position, and a generally perpendicular position with respect to said cross bar and said legs being pivotally movable between a first position wherein said legs are almost parallel to the floor, for holding the bottom portion of said post closer to the floor when the stand is in use, and a second position wherein said legs are folded and are generally parallel to said post, when the stand is not in use;
• and
• lock means for fixing said base bar to said perpendicular position with respect to said cross bar, wherein said lock means includes a stopper disposed at the outer end of said cross bar, and wherein said stopper includes a hook which protrudes into said base bar for engaging the inner surface of said base bar.

• a pair of cross bars connected to a bottom portion of said post, said cross bars being pivotally movable between a first position, wherein said cross bars are almost parallel to the floor, and a second position, wherein said cross bars are folded and are generally parallel to said post;
• a pair of base bars rotatably connected to said cross bars, said base bars being pivotally movable independently of said post between a generally parallel position and a generally perpendicular position with respect to said cross bars;
• whereby, when the stand is in use, said cross bars and base bars are almost parallel with respect to the floor, for holding the bottom portion of said post closer to the floor;
• and
• whereby, when the stand is not in use, said cross bars are folded and are generally parallel to said post, and said base bars are folded and are generally parallel to said cross bars.
