Bicycle storage and display system

In an assembly for horizontally suspending a bicycle from a storage and display system of the type having spaced first and second drive chains mounted on a frame and being adapted to concurrently move in vertical planes, and a plurality of elongated, horizontally positioned support bars having first and second ends supported, respectively, on said first and second drive chains,

• a plurality of two point bicycle hangers suspended from said support bars;
• and
• means on each of said hangers for releasably engaging a bicycle at two points thereon, said engaging means being adapted for securing and suspending a bicycle in a generally horizontally orientation for storage and display and for releasing a bicycle for ready removal therefrom.

An improved assembly for supporting a bicycle on a storage and display system of the type having a frame with a first and second side, a first drive chain mounted on the first side and a second drive chain mounted on the second side of the frame, a plurality of sprockets for rotatably supporting the first drive chain on the first side of the frame and the second drive chain on the second side of the frame, the sprockets being arrayed to support the drive chains for concurrent movement in parallel vertical planes, means for driving said chains in said vertical planes, a plurality of elongated, horizontally positioned support bars having first and second ends supported, respectively, on the first and second drive chains, the support bars being adapted to support a plurality of horizontally spaced bicycles thereon, wherein the improvement comprises:

• a plurality of two point bicycle hangers suspended from said support bars;
• and
• means on each of said hangers for releasably engaging a bicycle at two points thereon, said engaging means securing and suspending the bicycle in a generally horizontal orientation for storage and display and for releasing said bicycle for ready removal therefrom.
