Universal vehicle base carrier system

Abstract

This consists of a frame system made of aluminum or similar lightweight material, raw or treated to be weather-resistant.

Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention relates to a universal stable base support as a frame system, square or rectangular or made of round tubing of aluminum or lightweight construction, in particular for attachment to the rear of a vehicle, e.g., to a motorhome rear wall. State of the art:

[0002] The current state of the art consists of standard, foldable bicycle carriers designed solely for bicycles, which lack significant stability. The universal mount can be used as a base carrier for various applications, such as mounting solar panels, as an additional mount for a towbar-mounted carrier, as a frame holder for bicycles, for attaching a suitcase or container, etc. The legal limit for overhang must not be exceeded, and the vehicle manufacturer's weight specifications must be observed. Purpose of the invention:

[0003] A lightweight base carrier is to be provided that is easy to assemble, weatherproof, and universally applicable for mounting various systems, from containers to solar panels, etc. The base carrier can also be used as a roof rack system, mounted on a perforated or standard plate to support a heavy drone. The drone would then be wirelessly detached at the deployment site and take off directly from the base carrier, flying to its destination. Solution:

[0004] The invention provides a universal base support made of aluminum or lightweight construction in a frame design, square or rectangular, with dimensions from 400 mm to 1500 mm. The connections can be rigidly welded, bolted or riveted with brackets or angles, and the lengths can be extended or collapsed and locked.

[0005] Tubular material: square or angled material with a diameter of 20 mm to 40 mm. Round tubes with a diameter of 20 mm to 40 mm, square tubes with an edge length of 20 mm to 40 mm, angle profiles with leg lengths of 20 mm to 40 mm and a material thickness of 2 mm to 5 mm. The base support has four fixing points to ensure stability.

Claims

[1] That it consists of a frame system made of aluminium or similar lightweight material, raw or weather-resistant treated. [2] That it can be made from round tube material (20-40 mm diameter), square tube material (20-40 mm edge length) or angle material (10-40 mm leg length) with a material thickness of 1-6 mm. [3] This consists of a frame system which can be square or rectangular and have dimensions of 400 mm to 1500 mm in width and 400 mm to 1500 mm in length. [4] This frame has four fixing points (fastenings, holders) arches ( Fig. 1 No. 3, Fig. 9) Angle ( Fig. 8) or T-pieces ( Fig. 6, Fig. 1 No. 4) and double T-pieces ( Fig. 1 No. 5) depending on requirements. These can then be attached to an existing rail as a hanging variant ( Fig. 10) or with adapters required for the existing rail system. Or each holder can be reattached to the rear wall ( Fig. 7) The brackets can be manufactured in lengths from 50 mm to 300 mm, depending on the required distance from the wall. [5] That the connections can be rigidly welded. Or with couplings ( Fig. 1 No. 3, 4, 5) and bows ( Fig. 1 No. 3) screwed or riveted and / or the lengths can be extended or pushed together and locked, with a hole system or screw locking mechanism. [6] The frame with two or three cross braces ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2 No. 1) can be manufactured that are fixed or adjustable depending on the use. The same applies to the vertical tubes ( Fig. 1, Fig. 2 No. 2) also applicable depending on use. [7] The frame can be fitted with two longer vertical tubes depending on its use ( Fig. 3), with two horizontal pipes ( Fig. 4) or with all four pipes ( Fig. 5) can be manufactured, or without extension only the frame ( Fig. 2) is producible or only a pipe is extended ( Fig. 1). [8] Depending on the assembly and use, the upper and lower (horizontal), left and right frame tubes (vertical) may be longer than the overall frame dimensions. The overall width and height may range from 400 mm to 1500 mm. The tubes may be adjustable, plugged in, rigidly bolted, riveted, or welded. The tubes may be drilled with locking holes. [9] After the base carrier has been mounted, the connections can be attached according to the intended use, e.g. screwed, clipped, plugged, locked, clamped for solar modules, suitcases, containers, frame holders for bicycles, etc. [10] This stable universal base is a device to which various modules can be attached. [11] The base carrier can also be manufactured as a carrier system for mounting on a car roof with a perforated plate or a normal plate so that a heavy drone can be transported on it. The drone is then wirelessly detached in the operational area and takes off directly from the base carrier.
