Compact combo adapter for the simultaneous attachment of different accessories to the head tube of compact bicycles

Abstract

Compact combination adapter for the simultaneous mounting of different accessories, characterized in that this adapter, which is laser-cut from sheet steel in one piece, then folded several times and provided with the necessary holes, simultaneously fulfills the different fastening options.

Description

The adapters currently available on the market for fastening bicycle accessories to the head tube of compact bicycles (e.g. I:SY, QiO, etc.) always have only one individual fastening function for receiving adapters or are largely precipitated due to design and function.Either lateral individual adapters made of metal for accommodating accessories in the form of drinking bottles, locks, screw, magnet, clamping, system or universal holders can be mounted via the fastening screws located on both sides of the control tube (4-point fastening, metric thread M 5, axial distance of approximately 95-105 mm one above the other).Or an additional central adapter or holder, oriented frontally in a larger design, for example for the fastening of a bicycle basket, a bicycle pocket, a backpack, a transport box, box or similar accessories via the system connection "ClickFix" and with a screw connection on both sides on the head tube.For the requirement of both holding functions or adapters, at least two or more individual adapters are accordingly required, which have to be screwed one above the other. Furthermore, for a compact design of the central "ClickFix" connection to the control tube via the 4-point fastening, no adapter is currently available.The invention specified in claim 1 is accordingly based on the problem of combining a combined holder for connecting both adapter types or the system holder "ClickFix" in an adapter.The problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1.With the invention and selected design as a laser or steel edge part, it is achieved that the compact combi adapter offers the possibility, on the one hand, of making possible the central fastening of the "ClickFix" caddy system holder for the connection of, for example, a bicycle basket, pocket, system accessories, through the different bores. In addition, the adapter integrates simultaneously and on both sides the possible adaptation of accessories in the form of drinking bottles, locks, screw holders, magnet holders, clamping holders, system holders or universal holders.The invention disclosed in claim 2 is based on the problem of constructing a compact and central holder which is statically durable and combines the adaptations of a plurality of systems despite the design and size and which is thus not yet available on the market. Also for the customer what value is to be placed on a small and eccentric fastening possibility and is to be fastened centrally on the control tube.The problem is solved by the features listed in claim 2.With the selected production type and material made of lasered steel (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, etc.) with a corresponding material thickness and with additionally multiple bends, a durable and almost uncapturable compact combination adapter is manufactured, which offers the user an unappearable, light and delicate adapter.A further advantageous configuration of the combi-compact adapter is shown in claim 3. There is the possibility of individual design. On the one hand, the front panel can be created for "advertising" or personal initials at the wish of the end customer. Furthermore, a color selection for further individualization is provided, which is carried out as a powder coating or high-quality stoving lacquer.List of reference numbers:1 Front surface 2 Bores for 4-point reception of control tube (axial distance 100 mm) 3 Bores for accessory adapters (axial distance 65 mm) 4 Bores for "ClickFix-Caddy" accessory holders (axial distance 43 mm) 5 Inner dimension 64 mm 6 side wings
