[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bicycle hangers, in particular to a foldable bicycle hanger for vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Diversifying car travel needs: With improving living standards and a growing focus on healthy and environmentally friendly travel, more and more people are choosing bicycles for short-distance travel. However, conveniently carrying bicycles becomes a challenge for long-distance road trips or outdoor excursions. Traditional bike racks typically only serve the sole purpose of carrying bicycles and, when not in use, take up space in the vehicle, impacting vehicle flexibility and practicality. Tires can fail while driving, making carrying a spare tire essential for safe driving. However, existing spare tire racks are often simplistic in design, focusing solely on storing the spare tire and lacking integration with other functions. This results in vehicles requiring separate devices for carrying bicycles and spare tires, increasing costs and vehicle load while also making them inconvenient to use and manage. Interior space in cars is limited, making efficient use of this space a challenge, especially when multiple passengers or large quantities of items are being accommodated. Traditional bike and spare tire racks fail to fully consider optimal space utilization in their design, often occupying a significant amount of interior space, impacting passenger comfort and other vehicle uses.

[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a bicycle hanger (publication number: CN209600691U) comprising a fixing seat, a cantilever, a hanging rod, a bolt and a positioning structure, wherein the positioning structure comprises a pressing member, an axial bolt and a torsion spring, wherein the pressing member is pivotally connected between two pivot ears via the axial bolt, wherein the inner end of the pressing member forms a movable pressing handle portion, and the outer end of the pressing member forms a protrusion that can be extended into the long strip. However, this bicycle hanger can only meet the single function of carrying bicycles and occupies vehicle space when not in use, affecting the flexibility and practicality of the vehicle. In terms of design, the optimal utilization of space is not fully considered, and it often occupies more space in the vehicle, affecting the riding comfort of passengers and other uses of the vehicle. Therefore, a foldable bicycle hanger for vehicles is needed. Utility Model Content
