The device comprises a column that can be placed on a support surface, with a carriage guided on the column and movable vertically by means of a lifting mechanism. A support rod for securing the bicycle is attached to the carriage. The lifting mechanism allows the bicycle, attached to the support rod, to be moved vertically into an assembly position. State of the art

[0002] A generic device is described in DE 20 2010 002 783 U1. A column is attached to a base plate. A carriage is attached to a side of the column; this carriage is vertically movable and can be fixed in various vertical positions by means of clamping elements. The carriage carries a support frame to which a bicycle can be attached.

[0007] German patent DE 10 2023 101 371 A1 describes a bicycle repair stand with a column to which a crossbar is attached, which can be pivoted about a vertical axis. The pivoting position of the crossbar can be locked by means of clamping elements. Summary of the invention

[0008] The invention is based on the objective of further developing a bicycle assembly stand in a way that is advantageous for practical use.

[0009] The problem is solved by the technical solutions specified in the claims, whereby the dependent claims not only represent advantageous further developments of the subordinate claims, but are also independent solutions to the problem.

[0010] One aspect of the invention relates to the further development of a lifting device with which a support rod for securing the bicycle vertically on the column can be moved. In order to be able to lift not only lightweight bicycles but also electrically powered bicycles with the lifting device, the lifting device has a flexible pulling element which is attached on one side to the carriage and on the other side to a pulling mechanism. The pulling mechanism can interact with the pulling element in such a way that a pull is exerted on the pulling element, which pulls the end attached to the carriage upwards. The pulling mechanism can have a winding body to which one end of the pulling element is attached. Preferably, one end of the pulling element is attached to a winding body of a crank mechanism. The pulling element is guided over a deflection pulley which is arranged in the area of ​​a head of the column.The crank mechanism can be operated by, for example, an electric motor, such as a hand-crank motor. Preferably, however, the crank mechanism has a hand crank, which is preferably connected to the winding body by means of a reduction gear. One end of the pulling element can be attached to the winding body, so that the pulling element can be wound onto the winding body by turning the crank mechanism, for example, using the hand crank. Another end of the pulling element can form a mounting end that is attached to the carriage. The carriage can thus be moved vertically by rotating the winding body.

[0011] The crank mechanism can be mounted externally on the column. However, it is also possible to position the crank mechanism inside the column. In this case, the winding on which the tension element is wound can have an axis of rotation parallel to the axis of rotation of the guide pulley. The axis of rotation of the winding can also be offset from the axis of rotation of the guide pulley, in particular perpendicular to it; the belt can then run inside the column and be twisted there by 90°. It is also possible for the tension element to be a rope wound onto the winding body. The crank axis can run either parallel to the axis of rotation of the guide pulley or perpendicular to it.

[0012] A ratchet mechanism can be provided which, in a locked position, allows the hand crank to be turned only in one direction, for example, upwards, and prevents it from turning in the opposite direction. The ratchet mechanism can have a first pawl for this purpose. Alternatively, the ratchet mechanism can have a second pawl which, in a locked position, only allows the hand crank to be turned to lower the bicycle. Both pawls can be formed from a common pawl carrier.

[0013] Instead of a pawl mechanism, a self-locking crank mechanism can also be used, in which a torque applied to the winding, for example by a puller, only leads to rotation of the winding if the crank is simultaneously turned in the corresponding direction. The mechanism can be a friction-lock or a positive-lock.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the column is formed from one or more profile bodies. A fitting, which includes the deflection pulley, can be attached to the head of the profile body. The tensioning element can be a rope or a chain. Preferably, however, the tensioning element is a band, in particular a textile band, the width of which corresponds substantially to the width of the column or is slightly narrower than the width of the column. The column can also have a different polygonal cross-section or a round cross-section.

[0015] The carriage can be formed from a U-shaped sheet (a sheet bent into a U-shape) with a web to which the pulling element is attached. Two legs of the sheet, projecting at right angles from the web, can be guided on two opposing sides of the column, which has a square or rectangular cross-section. The pulling device can be attached to the rear of the column. The carriage can thus be moved past the pulling device during its vertical movement. The attachment end of the pulling element can form a loop through which a retaining pin engages. This pin can extend across the full width of the U-shaped web and is attached to projections of the U-shaped legs. The carriage can also have the features described below.However, the slide can also be formed from a single sheet extending only in one plane, which is mounted vertically displaceable by means of a suitable roller guide only on one broad side surface of a column, in particular forming a polygonal profile.

[0016] A further aspect of the invention relates to a further development of the vertically displaceable slide. As previously described, the slide can have a U-shaped sheet metal section with two parallel legs. According to the invention, guide rollers are attached to the legs and guided in guide grooves on the outward-facing side surfaces of the column. The grooves can be undercut grooves. The axes of rotation of the guide rollers can extend in the direction of the surface normals of the U-shaped legs of the sheet metal section. The circumferential surfaces of the guide rollers can roll on the side walls of the guide grooves. An opening in the guide groove, through which a pivot axis of the guide roller projects, has an opening width that is smaller than the diameter of the guide roller, so that the guide roller is axially constrained in the guide groove with respect to its pivot axis.Each of the two legs of the U-shaped sheet preferably carries at least two guide rollers, so that the carriage is fixed to the column in a rotationally fixed manner.

[0017] Another aspect of the invention relates to fixing the carriage in its various vertical positions. For this purpose, the invention provides at least one restraint element with which the carriage can be fixed against downward movement. It is also possible, however, to fix the carriage against upward movement with this or another clamping element. The restraint element can also be a clamping screw, for example, a screw with a handle, which can be brought into a clamping position by turning the clamping screw.

[0018] The slide preferably has two clamping elements, one of which secures the slide against downward displacement along the column, and the other of which secures the slide against upward displacement along the column. The clamping elements can interact with a broad face of the column. For this purpose, it is particularly advantageous if the slide is guided as described above. The guide rollers, which are fixed in the guide grooves with respect to their axis of rotation, can transfer the clamping forces into the column. The clamping elements can form eccentric levers. Such an eccentric lever can be displaced about a bearing axis from a clamping position to a release position. The bearing axis can be vertical. The eccentric lever can have an eccentric surface that, in the clamping position, rests against a broad face of the column.The eccentric lever can have an actuating arm that pivots by 90° or more to move the clamping element from the clamping position to the release position. One of the eccentric levers can pivot upwards to move it to the release position. Another eccentric lever can pivot downwards to move it to the release position. The eccentric lever is preferably stiff-action, so that it remains in the release position after being moved. Each of the two U-shaped legs of the slide can support an eccentric lever. For this purpose, the sheet metal can have bearing tabs to which the pivot axis of the eccentric lever is attached. The bearing tabs can be sections cut out of the sheet metal that are angled out of the plane of the sheet metal. The eccentric surface can extend along a spiral curve around the bearing axis. An actuating arm can project radially from the bearing axis.The eccentric lever can also be easily pivotable. This is particularly advantageous for safety reasons. The eccentric lever is then preferably mounted in such a way that gravity automatically moves it into a clamping position. It must then be deliberately moved into the release position by the operator and held in this position when the carriage is moved. Two-handed operation is therefore required. In this variant, a clamping surface of the eccentric lever preferably engages automatically with a corresponding counter surface of the column.

[0019] Another aspect of the invention relates to a further development of the support structure. A crossbeam is attached to the carriage by a connecting element. The connecting element has a first bearing body, which is fixedly attached to the carriage, and a second bearing body, which is fixedly attached to the crossbeam. The crossbeam can be a square tube, a polygonal tube, or a round tube. The second bearing body can be fixedly or slidably connected to the crossbeam approximately at its midpoint. Preferably, the bearing body is fixedly connected to the crossbeam. The two bearing bodies can be rotated relative to each other about an axis extending in the vertical direction, so that the crossbeam can assume various angular positions with respect to a horizontal plane.According to the invention, positive locking elements that connect the two bearing bodies in a restrained position in a rotationally fixed manner can be moved into a release position in which the two bearing bodies can be rotated relative to each other. Instead of positive locking elements, frictional locking elements can also be used. It can be provided that the two bearing bodies have toothed sections that interlock in the restrained position. To move the bearing bodies into the release position, the bearing bodies can be moved axially relative to each other with respect to the vertical axis. In the restrained position, preferably a toothed section of a first bearing body engages positively with a mating toothed section of a second bearing body. By moving the bearing bodies in an axial direction with respect to the vertical axis of rotation, the positive locking connection can be moved into a release position in which the mating toothed section has disengaged from the toothed section.

[0020] A fixing element may be provided to secure the two bearing bodies in a positive-locking connection. This fixing element may have a tension element that extends through one of the bearing bodies, particularly the bearing body attached to the crossbeam. One of the bearing bodies may have a bearing journal that engages in a bearing bushing of the other bearing body. The base of the bearing bushing may have serrations. The end face of the other bearing journal may have mating serrations. A buttress may be present in the area of ​​the base of the bearing bushing, to which the tension element is attached. The tension element may extend through the entire second bearing body and be attached to a clamping element. The clamping element can be moved from a release position to a clamping position. In the release position, the positive lock can be disengaged.This can be achieved with the assistance of a spring element, which can form a compression spring that acts on the two bearing bodies in the direction of the release position. The clamping element can be an eccentric lever with an eccentric surface that bears against an outer surface of the crossbeam. For details regarding the design of the eccentric lever, please refer to the above descriptions.

[0021] Another aspect of the invention relates to a further development of a stand with which the column can be erected on a mounting surface. A sliding mechanism can be vertically displaced on the column, to which three or more support legs are attached. By vertically displacing the sliding mechanism, the support legs can be moved from a storage position, in which the support legs extend parallel to the column's direction of extension and rest against the column, to a working position, in which the support legs are spread apart from the column. The ends of the support legs form feet that rest on the mounting surface. Linkages are provided, each hinged approximately at the middle of a support leg and at the lower end of a column foot. In the working position, the column foot can rest on the mounting surface. The sliding mechanism can be fixed in various vertical positions. A fastening device is provided for this purpose.According to the invention, the clamping device has two restraint elements, in particular clamping elements, each of which interacts with one of two opposing side surfaces of the column. The restraint position can then be a clamping position. The clamping elements can each have an arm, the arms projecting downwards parallel to each other in the clamping position and extending horizontally in a release position. The arms of the clamping elements thus form handles that can be gripped to move the slide vertically upwards. According to a preferred embodiment, the clamping elements are eccentric levers. They have an eccentric surface that interacts with a broad side surface of the column, as described above. The eccentric surface then bears against the broad side surface in a frictional engagement.In the release position, the arms of the eccentric levers can strike against stops that hold the arms in a horizontal position. In this horizontal position, the arms extend from the slide in opposite directions.

[0022] Another aspect of the invention relates to a further development of brackets with which the bicycle can be attached to a crossbeam. For this purpose, the crossbeam has a plurality of locking openings. One or two brackets are provided, each featuring a locking lever that pivots about a pivot axis. The locking lever can be a two-armed lever. The locking lever has an actuating arm and a locking arm. The locking arm carries a locking pin that can engage in one of the locking openings in a locked position. As a result, the at least one bracket can be moved along the crossbeam and positively locked to the crossbeam in various displacement positions. The actuating arm can be actuated by a spring element, so that the locking pin engages in the locking opening under spring force.The bracket interacting with the locking openings may have a base plate that rests against an outer surface of the crossbar. The base plate may be part of a sleeve with a rectangular cross-section that encloses the crossbar, which also has a rectangular cross-section. The base plate may have an opening through which the locking pin passes. Fastening elements for securing the bicycle may be arranged on the opposite side of the locking pin. One of these fastening elements may have clamping jaws. The other may have a support rod. Both fastening elements of the brackets may have receiving bushings for receiving a shaft with a circular cross-section, for example, a bearing journal for the rotary mounting of the clamping jaws or the support rod.

[0023] The invention further relates to a foot piece with which a column of a device for holding objects, and in particular a device as previously described, can be placed on a surface.

[0024] The device comprises a base to which a column foot is connected. The base may have a shaft into which the lower end of the column, formed by a profile body, can be inserted. The shaft may have a base against which a lower end face of the column can rest. The base may be made of plastic or another material, for example, a metal, and in particular, preferably die-cast aluminum, and may have a vertically upward-facing top surface. The base may also have a side wall extending substantially in a vertical direction. Preferably, the base has at least three or four side walls arranged around the column at uniform angles. According to the invention, the column has support openings into which one end of a support leg can be inserted.The opposite end of the support leg can rest on the base, forming a foot. The support opening may be located in one of the side walls. The base may also have a parking opening for each of the three or four, or optionally five or more, support legs. The end of the support leg opposite the foot can be inserted into each parking opening. The parking opening can be used when the device is not being used to hold an object, particularly a bicycle, in a storage position. The parking openings are arranged, and especially positioned on the top, such that the ends of the support legs inserted into a parking opening extend parallel to the column.To ensure that the device takes up as little space as possible when stored, the parking openings are designed to be located in the immediate vicinity of the column and at a short distance from the column.

[0025] The support openings, in which the ends of the legs are inserted in the device's operating position, may have an upper opening edge against which a portion of the leg furthest from the end and pointing vertically upwards rests. Inside the base, at the end of a shaft into which the leg can be inserted and which adjoins the support opening, a bearing surface may be arranged. A downward-facing surface of the leg, adjacent to the end, may rest against this bearing surface. This bearing surface may be located vertically below the parking opening. It may form the bottom of a shaft whose opening is formed by the parking opening. This results in an essentially L-shaped cavity, with a horizontal section of the cavity serving as a receiving chamber for the end of the leg in its operating position.A vertically running section of the cavity forms a receiving chamber for the end of the supporting leg in the parked position.

[0026] It can be provided that the support leg is attached to the base by means of a locking connection in the operating position. For this purpose, the support leg, and in particular the end of the support leg inserted into the base, can have a projection, for example a locking projection, which, in a fully inserted position of the support leg, rests in a recess, for example a locking recess, inside the base. It can be provided that the projection is formed by a pin that crosses the support leg, which is preferably formed by a tube, for example a square tube. The pin can have two outwardly pointing end sections, each of these end sections forming a projection. The recess in which the projection rests can be formed by an upwardly open trough. The support leg can be inserted into the support opening in one direction.The recess can be located behind a step in the insertion direction, the step having an inclined surface along which the projection can slide to enter the recess after overcoming the step.

[0027] The recess is preferably arranged such that the extension, or preferably both extensions, can lie in the recess even in the parked position. The recess can be arranged laterally next to the support surface.

[0028] The horizontal offset between the edge of the support opening, against which the leg rests, and the contact surface results in a lever-efficient arrangement. Preferably, the legs project obliquely downwards in the operating position, so that the underside of the foot hovers above the surface at a certain distance.

[0029] In a further development of the invention, it is also provided that the footpiece has screw-in openings through which screws can pass, with which the footpiece can be screwed directly to the mounting surface in an alternative use to the use of the legs. Brief description of the drawings

Description of the embodiments

[0031] The bicycle repair stand shown in the drawings has a column 1, which can be made of metal and has a square cross-section, with guide grooves 49 running along its side faces. The column 1 can be formed from extruded aluminum profiles. Two profile sections can be arranged one above the other. A lower section of the column 1 forms a foot 1". An upper section of the column 1 forms a head 1'.

[0032] The head 1' carries a mounting 9 which supports a deflection roller 4. The deflection roller 4 has a diameter that corresponds approximately to the width of the cross-section of the column 1. Preferably, the diameter is slightly larger. The width of the deflection roller 4 also corresponds approximately to the width of the cross-section of the column 1.

[0033] A tension element 5, which in this embodiment is formed by a belt, is guided over the deflection pulley 4. This belt can be a textile belt. The width of the belt corresponds to the width of the deflection pulley 4. Alternatively, the deflection pulley can have two lateral webs between which a guide surface extends. The width of the belt can then correspond to the width of this guide surface. The tension element 5 has a mounting end 5' that is attached to a slide 2, which is guided vertically on the column 1. The mounting end 5' can form a loop through which a retaining pin 53 passes. The other end of the tension element 5 is attached to a winding body 63 of a crank mechanism 6.

[0034] The crank mechanism 6 is rigidly connected to a rear side 52 of the column 1 and has a reduction gear with which a rotary motion of a crank arm 62 of a hand crank can be transmitted to the winding body 63. Furthermore, a pawl lock is provided with which the rotation of the winding body 63 can be blocked. However, a friction lock can also be provided instead of a pawl lock. Preferably, the crank mechanism 6 has an automatic braking system designed such that the winding body 63 can only be rotated when the hand crank is turned in the corresponding direction. The lock can have two pawls, so that the rotation of the winding body 63 can be selectively blocked in one direction or the other. By turning the hand crank 62 in one direction, the carriage 2 can be moved vertically upwards.By turning the hand crank in the other direction, the carriage 2 can be lowered vertically.

[0035] The slide 2 has a U-shaped sheet 42. The U-shaped sheet 42 has a section, hereinafter referred to as the web 42", which extends parallel to a front face 51 opposite the rear face 52. Two legs 42' project from the web 42", extending parallel to two outward-facing side surfaces 48. The two legs 42' accommodate the column between them.

[0036] Each of the two legs 42' carries at least two guide rollers 50. The guide rollers 50 engage in undercut guide grooves 49 of the column 1. The diameter of the guide rollers 50 is larger than the opening width of the guide grooves 49, so that the guide rollers 50 cannot be removed laterally from the opening of the guide groove 49. The guide rollers 50 can only be inserted through the open ends of the guide grooves 49. The guide rollers 50 are rotatable about axes that project from the opening of the guide groove 59 and by which the guide rollers 50 are attached to the two opposing inner surfaces of the legs 42'.

[0037] The legs 42' form bearing lugs 43, which support a bearing axle 45. The bearing axle 45, in turn, supports an eccentric lever 44, 44'. Each of the two legs 42' supports an eccentric lever 44, 44'. The eccentric lever 44, 44' forms an eccentric surface 47, which, in a clamping position, engages frictionally with a side surface 48 of the column 1. The clamping forces are transferred to the column 1 via the guide rollers 50 and their axles. The eccentric surfaces 47 each extend through an opening 46 of the leg 42'.

[0038] As an alternative to the clamping levers 44, 44', a clamping screw, for example a handle screw or several such clamping screws, can also be used.

[0039] The eccentric lever 44 secures the carriage 2 against downward displacement. In the clamping position, the arm of the eccentric lever 44 points upwards and must be pivoted downwards into the release position. The eccentric lever 44 is mounted with resistance to rotation. However, the eccentric lever 44, or both eccentric levers 44, 44', can also be mounted with free rotation, so that their clamping surface is permanently in contact with a counter surface of the column. The eccentric lever 44' secures the carriage 2 against upward displacement. In the clamping position, the arm of the eccentric lever 44 points downwards and must be pivoted upwards into the release position. The eccentric lever 44' is mounted with resistance to rotation. The eccentric levers 44, 44' remain automatically in the release position.

[0040] The retaining pin 53, with which the fastening end 5' is attached to the slide 2, is attached to extensions of the two legs 42' and extends above the web 42", to which a connecting element 10 is attached by means of screws, with which a crossbeam 22 of a support rod 3 formed by a square tube is attached to the slide 2.

[0041] The connecting element 10 essentially consists of two bearing bodies 11, 12, wherein a first bearing body 11 is rigidly connected to the slide 2 and, in particular, to the web 42". The first bearing body 11 can be made of plastic and have a bearing bushing 13 whose axis extends in a horizontal direction.

[0042] The second bearing body 12 can also be made of plastic and is firmly connected to the crossbeam 22. The second bearing body 12 forms a bearing pin 14, which is rotatably inserted in the bearing bushing 13.

[0043] The bearing bodies 11, 12 can also be made of die-cast metal.

[0044] The base of the bearing bushing 13 forms a toothed section 15. The toothed section 15 can have teeth extending radially in the direction of an axis of the bearing bushing 13. The end face of the bearing journal 14 forms a mating toothed section 16 corresponding to the toothed section 15. The toothed section 15 and the mating toothed section 16 form positive locking means with which the rotation of the bearing body 12 relative to the bearing body 11 can be blocked in a restrained position. The two bearing bodies 11, 12 can be moved into a release position by axial displacement, in which the mating toothed section 16 disengages from the toothed section 15. Temporary clamping can also be achieved with a clamping device 21, which can reduce the clear cross-section of the bearing bushing 13 or reduce the circumferential length of the bearing bushing 13.

[0045] Instead of the toothing 15, which interacts with a mating toothing 16, friction-fit elements can also be provided that fix the bearing journal 14 in the bearing bushing 13; for example, the bearing bushing 13 can have a conical shape and the bearing journal 14 a corresponding counter-conical shape. Here, too, the bearing journal 14 can be acted upon by a spring element in the release direction.

[0046] At the bottom of the bearing bushing 13 is a support 19 for a tension element 17. The tension element 17 can be a rod, for example made of metal. The tension element 17 extends through an axial cavity of the second bearing body 20 and passes through the cross member 22. A clamping element 18 is attached to a free end of the tension element 17. In the exemplary embodiment, the clamping element 18 is an eccentric lever with an eccentric surface and an actuating arm, the eccentric surface being supported against a broad side surface of the cross member 22. In a clamping position of the clamping element 18, the mating teeth 16 engage with the teeth 15.

[0047] A spring element 20 is supported at the bottom of the bearing cavity 13, acting on the end face or the bottom of the end face of the bearing journal 14 in the direction of the release position. By releasing the clamping element 18, the spring element 20, formed by a compression spring, can move the second bearing body 12 axially into the release position or assist the movement into the release position.

[0048] The sections of the crossbeam 22 projecting from the connecting element 10 have regularly spaced locking openings 30. Locking projections 27 of brackets 25 can engage in the locking openings 30 to fix the brackets 25 in positions at a distance from the connecting element 10. The brackets 25 can be moved along the crossbeam 22 when the locking projections 27 are in a released position. Each bracket 25 forms a channel through which the crossbeam 22 extends. A base plate 28 forms one channel wall of the channel, to which a locking element 26 in the form of a locking lever is attached. The locking lever 26 is pivotable about a pivot bearing 26'. The locking lever 26 has a locking arm 26'' to which a locking pin forming the locking projection 27 is attached.The other arm 26''' is an actuating arm which may be actuated by a spring element (not shown), for example a compression spring, so that the detent pin 27 engages in the detent opening 30 under spring force. The base plate 28 has an opening 29 through which the detent pin 27 passes.

[0049] One of the two brackets 25 forms a fastening element 31 with a bearing bushing 32 in which a bearing journal of another fastening element 23 is inserted. This fastening element 23 is rotatable relative to the fastening element 31 about a vertical axis, the rotational position being fixable by means of a clamping device 34. The clamping device 34 can be used to reduce the circumferential length of the bearing bushing 32 in order to clamp the bearing journal in the bearing bushing 32.

[0050] The fastening element 23 has two clamping jaws 35, 36 that can be moved relative to each other and are each angled to clamp a bicycle frame tube or a seat post between them. The clamping jaw 36 is located at the end of a clamping lever 37, which can be pivoted about a pivot axis relative to the clamping jaw 35. A clamping force can be applied to the clamping lever 37 by means of a clamping element, for example, an eccentric lever 38, and a tensioning element 39. The tensioning element 39 can have a thread that engages in a mating thread. The eccentric lever 38 can be located at one end of the tensioning element 39. By rotating the eccentric lever 38, the clamping lever 37 can be pivoted. However, a clamping screw with a handle can also be used instead of the eccentric lever 38.

[0051] The other of the two brackets 25 forms a fastening element 40, which has a socket 41 in which a support element 24 is inserted. The support element 24 can be a vertically extending support rod that can support a section of a frame, particularly in the area of ​​the bicycle's fork.

[0052] The surface of the support rod 24 can be made of a soft plastic. The two clamping jaws 35, 36 can also be made of a similar material to prevent damage to the bicycle frame.

[0053] Additional fixing devices may be provided to secure the bicycle handlebars in a neutral position. These fixing elements can be flexible cables or clamps that hold the handlebars in a neutral position. For example, a retaining arm, attached at one end to a grip on the handlebars, can be secured at the other end to the seat post.

[0054] In the area of ​​the base 1'' of the column 1, the first ends of linkages 55 are pivotally connected to a pivot point 54. The second ends of the linkages 55 are connected to a support leg 56 at a pivot point 57. The support leg 56 has a first end that is pivotally connected to a slide 59. The second end of the support leg 56 carries a foot 58, with which the stand 7 formed by the support legs 56 can be erected on a mounting surface 8.

[0055] The slide 59 has a shaft through which the column 1 extends. The slide 59 can be moved relative to the column 1 from a storage position, in which the support legs 56 extend parallel to the column 1 and rest against the column 1, to a working position, in which the support legs 56 are spread apart.

[0056] The slide 59 has two restraint or clamping elements 60 that engage with the oppositely projecting broad sides 51, 52 of the column 1. In the exemplary embodiment, the restraint or clamping elements 60 are designed as eccentric levers. In a clamping position, an eccentric surface of the eccentric lever 60 frictionally engages with the broad side 51, 52. In this clamping position, arms 60' of the clamping elements 60 project downwards. By pivoting the arms 60' upwards, the clamping elements 60 are moved into a release position. In the release position, arms 60' of the restraint or clamping elements 60 project approximately horizontally transversely from the column 1, so that these arms 60' can be used as handles to move the slide 59 vertically upwards. For this purpose, the slide 59 forms a stop 64 against which the arm 60' can rest in the horizontal position. In a clamping position of the clamping elements 60, the arms 60' lie in a vertical direction downwards.

[0057] In one variant, only one restraint or clamping element 60 is provided, which is designed as an eccentric lever. However, a clamping screw, for example with a clamping handle, can also be used instead.

[0058] The device can be used as follows:

[0059] Starting from a storage position in which the crossbeam 22 is aligned parallel to the column 1 and the support legs 56 are arranged parallel to the column 1, the slide 59 can be moved towards the foot 1'' after releasing the clamping elements 60, causing the support legs 56 to spread away from the column 1. The device can then be placed on the feet 58, with the foot 1'' also being supported on a mounting surface 8. The clamping elements 60 can then be moved from their release position to a clamped position. Alternatively, the slide 59 can be fixed to the column 1 at a distance from its lower end using the clamping elements 60, so that in the operating position the column 1 is supported only by the feet 58 of the support legs 56.

[0060] By means of the crank mechanism 6, the support frame 3 is brought into a vertical position in which the clamping jaws 35, 36 can be attached to the frame tube. For this purpose, the clamping device 34 and the clamping device 21 are released. The clamping element 18 is also moved into a released position so that the crossbar 22 can be rotated relative to the column and the fastening element 23 can be rotated relative to the crossbar 22. The support rod 24 is slid under the bicycle frame in the area of ​​the bicycle fork, so that the bicycle is secured to the support frame 3 at two points. The brackets 25 can be moved relative to the crossbar 22 by releasing the locking projection 27 so that the center of gravity of the bicycle lies approximately vertically below the connecting element 10. The swiveling of the handlebars is blocked by suitable means.

[0061] The clamping devices 34, 18, 21 are then brought into a clamping position, thus fixing the position of the bicycle. Subsequently, the carriage 2 is moved vertically upwards using the crank mechanism 6 until the bicycle reaches a suitable mounting height. By releasing the clamping element 18, the bicycle can be rotated about a vertical axis if necessary.

[0062] The carriage 2 is moved with the clamping elements 44, 44' in the release position. After reaching the mounting height, the clamping elements 44, 44' are moved into a clamping position.

[0063] To detach the bicycle from the mounting device, it is first brought into a position where the bicycle wheels are horizontal by loosening the clamping element 18 and rotating the crossbar 22 about the vertical axis. Then, after loosening the clamping elements 44, 44', the carriage 22 is lowered by actuating the crank mechanism 6 until the bicycle wheels touch the support surface 8. After releasing the means (not shown) for fixing the handlebars and the clamping jaws 35, 36, the bicycle can be separated from the device.

[0064] By subsequently pivoting the traverse 22 into a parallel position to the column 1 and releasing the clamping elements 60, and subsequently lifting the slide 59 by using the arms 60' as a handle and moving the support legs 56 into a parallel position to the column 1, the device can be brought into a storage position.

[0065] The Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16 to Fig. Figure 17 shows a second embodiment of the invention, which differs from the first embodiment in the design and function of the support legs 56.

[0066] The lower end of the column 1 is inserted into a shaft 75 which is open to an upper side 79 of the base 65 and which has a bottom against which a lower end face of the column 1 is supported.

[0067] The base 65 has a basic square shape, but can also be rectangular or round, with flattened sections in the corner areas. Side walls 77 are associated with these flattened sections. Each side wall 77 contains a support opening 67. The support opening 67 has a basic rectangular shape, adapted to a rectangular cross-section of a support leg 56. The support leg 56 is a square tube. Two lateral edges of the support opening 67 have extensions 68 through which projections or extensions 70, located at one end 56' of the support leg 56, can pass. The two projections 70 are formed by the ends of a pin that crosses the end 56' of the support leg 56.

[0068] Adjoining the support opening 67 is a shaft into which the end 56' can be inserted. This is done in an insertion direction E. The end of this shaft is formed by a wall 80, which separates the shaft for inserting the support leg 56 from the shaft for inserting the column 1. Adjoining this wall is a substantially horizontal surface that points upwards and forms a bearing surface 73 against which a lower surface of the end 56' of the support leg 56 can rest. An upwardly pointing surface section, spaced apart from this in the direction of the base 58 of the support leg 56, can rest against the opening edge 67' of the support opening 67.In the insertion direction in front of the support surface 73 there is an inclined sliding flank 82 formed on the upper side of the shaft opposite the support surface 73, along which a front upper edge of the end 56' can slide when the support leg 56 is inserted into the shaft.

[0069] The support surface 73 is bounded on one side by the wall 80 and on the other side by two opposing walls 81, which run perpendicular to the wall 80 and perpendicular to the support surface 73. The walls 81 each form a recess 69 into which the projections 70 can engage in a detent position. The recess 69 is located in the insertion direction E behind a step 72, which is in the Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16 to Fig. The movement sequence shown in Figure 17 is traversed by the extension 70. For this to occur, the extension 70 first engages a ramp 71 located upstream of the step 72, which guides the extension 70 upwards. Once the extension 70 has traversed the step 72, it can enter the recess 69 formed by an upwardly open trough. As it traverses the step 72, the support leg 56 slides along the sliding flank 82. The recess 69 and the extension 70 form a locking connection, which secures the support leg 56 against being pulled out in the opposite direction E of insertion into the shaft adjoining the support opening 67.

[0070] Vertically above the inner end of the shaft, in this embodiment vertically above the support surface 73, is a parking opening 66, which has an opening area adapted to the cross-section of the support leg 56. The parking opening 66 has an extension 66' through which the extensions 70 can pass when the ends 56' are inserted. Below these extensions 66' are the previously described recesses 69, into which the extensions 70 can enter. In a storage position, in which the support legs are located in the parking openings 66, the support legs 56 extend parallel to the column 1. A shaft adjoining the parking opening 66 is formed by the two previously described walls 80, 81. The bottom of this shaft is formed by the support surface 73. In the parking position, a surface of the support leg 56 facing the column 1 is spaced from the column 1 by the width of the wall 80. The distance can be less than 10 mm.

[0071] In the operating position, which is in the Fig. As shown in Figure 17, the four support legs 56 in the exemplary embodiment project obliquely downwards, so that the underside 74 of the foot piece 65 is spaced a distance d from the mounting surface 8 when the feet 58 of the support legs 56 are supported on the mounting surface 8.
