Abstract
Description
[0001] Common bicycle top tube bags are mounted on the top tube using three Velcro fasteners located on the holder itself.
[0002] Although these designs allow for flexible assembly and disassembly on different bicycles, this is extensive, cumbersome and time-consuming.
[0003] This problem is solved by the features listed in claims 1 and 5.
[0004] If a separate mechanism for quickly attaching the bag to the top tube is available, the design of the conventional bicycle top tube bag is only compatible with a limited number of bicycles due to the shape of the bracket, is unstable and can only be removed to a limited extent due to the type of attachment:
[0005] This problem is solved by the features listed in claims 2, 3 and 4.
[0006] The invention allows a bicycle bag to be quickly and easily attached to the top tube by simply sliding the mount into place. The specific design and shape of the invention allows for mounting on a wide variety of bicycles and flexibility in dismounting and remounting on other bicycles. The angle and rubberized surface on the underside of the mount, as well as the length and flexible material of the fastening straps, ensure that the mount can be used on virtually all top tube variants while simultaneously ensuring stability while riding.
[0007] An embodiment of the invention is described with reference to Fig. 1 to 5. They show: Fig. 1 the bracket to be attached to the bicycle top tube dismantled from the rear. Fig. 2 the bracket to be attached to the top tube of the bicycle is mounted on the top tube from the rear. Fig. 3 the bracket on the bicycle bag is removed from below. Fig. 4 the bracket on the bicycle bag dismantled from diagonally front Fig. 5 the nested bracket mounted on the top tube from the rear.
[0008] In Fig. 1, the mount has been removed. The rubberized layer (1) on the underside of the mount and its angled structure are visible. The fastening straps (2) are inserted into the top tube mount.
[0009] In Fig. 2, the mount is mounted on the top tube (3). The angled, rubberized surface (1) rests on the top tube (3). The fastening straps (2) are hooked onto and wrapped around the top tube (3).
[0010] Fig. Figure 3 shows the mount on the bike bag from below, viewed from above. The top tube mount is inserted from the front (in the illustration above) and secured using a click mechanism (4) and a ledge (5).
[0011] Fig. 4 highlights the rails (8) into which the top tube bracket ( Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) is inserted with its rails (6).
[0012] In Fig. 5 the top tube mount ( Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) into the bicycle mount ( Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) and secured with the click fastener (4). The fastening straps (2) are hooked onto their hooks (7) and wrapped around the top tube.

Claims
[1] Bicycle top tube bag, characterized by that they have a top tube mount ( Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) by sliding it onto a bracket ( Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) can be attached to the top tube and fixed using a click mechanism. [2] Bicycle top tube mount, characterized by that it has a rubberized bottom that protects the top tube material and prevents slipping. [3] Bicycle top tube mount, characterized by that it has an angled bottom that prevents the mount from wobbling or slipping on the top tube. [4] Fastening straps, characterized by that they ensure that the top tube mount is firmly mounted on a variety of top tubes thanks to the stable, yet flexible material and can be quickly and easily removed and remounted thanks to the reversible fastening using hooks. [5] Bicycle mount ( Fig. 3 and Fig. 4), characterized by that it fixes the bicycle bag on the top tube bracket using a click mechanism and thus ensures stability, prevents the brackets from slipping out and at the same time enables the bicycle bag to be quickly attached to the top tube.
