Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bicycles and, in particular, to a fastening structure for bicycle accessories.

[0002] Unlike motorcycles, which have center and side stands mounted directly to the frame to facilitate parking, bicycles are usually parked using an additional stand attached to the rear bicycle stay. However, this additional stand is cumbersome to install and remove and often lacks sufficient stability. With continuous use, it often detaches from the bicycle frame within a short period of time. For this reason, manufacturers have developed an alternative stand structure in which an additional mounting piece is attached to the hook section of a bicycle frame and the kickstand is passed through this mounting piece using a through axle to attach the stand to the rear wheel more securely. However, this method requires attaching an additional mounting piece to the hook section of a bicycle, which is both complex and costly to install.If the mounting piece is installed improperly, the stand can easily become loose. Furthermore, conventional rear bike racks are usually only attached with a through-axle and screws. Therefore, after a period of use, they can easily become loose due to vibrations generated during riding, creating safety risks and affecting long-term use.

[0003] The present invention provides a bicycle accessory mounting structure, the object of which is to provide a mounting structure for mounting the mounting part of a stand to the rear fork or the center axis portion of a bicycle, and thus to improve the mounting flexibility by this structure.

[0006] It will be on the Fig. 1 to 8. The fastening structure for bicycle accessories according to a first embodiment of the present invention is attachable to the rear fork 1 of a bicycle, wherein the rear fork 1 has a first hook portion 11 and a second hook portion 12. The first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 12 each have an arc portion 100, an upper fork portion 101 and a lower fork portion 102 extending outward from the arc portion 100. The first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 12 further each have a first mounting recess 13, a second mounting recess 14, and a third mounting recess 15. The first mounting recess 13 is located on the outer cover 111 of the first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 12 in the region of the arc portion 100.The second mounting recess 14 is located on the outer cover 111 of the first hook section 11 and the second hook section 12 in the region of the lower fork section 102, the third mounting recess 15 is located on the inner cover 110 of the first hook section 11 and the second hook section 12 in the region of the lower fork section 102, and the surfaces of the first mounting recess 13, the second mounting recess 14, and the third mounting recess 15 consist of a plurality of cross-shaped, recessed, and spaced-apart stabilizing recesses 113. In the present embodiment, the first hook section 11 and the second hook section 12 further have mounting holes 112 and 121, respectively, which extend through the inner cover 110 and the outer cover 111, respectively.

[0007] The following describes the bicycle accessory mounting structure according to the first embodiment. It includes the following: a fastening part 2, a through-axis 3 and a stand 23, wherein the fastening part 2 has a combination ring section 21 and a fastening bore 22 at each of its upper and lower ends, the combination ring section 21 is provided with a combination hole 212, the combination hole 212 and the fastening bore 22 each run through the fastening part 2, the surface of the combination ring section 21 is provided with a plurality of cross-shaped, protruding and spaced-apart stabilizing blocks 213, the stabilizing blocks 213 are matched to the corresponding stabilizing recesses 113 and the through-axis 3 is successively passed through the combination hole 212 of the fastening part 2 and the mounting holes 112, 121 of the first hook section 11 and the second hook section 12.of the second hook portion 12, whereby the fastening part 2 is combined with the first hook portion 11 and the second hook portion 12 of the rear wheel fork 1 and the stand 23 with the fastening hole 22 of the fastening part 2, so that by pedaling and pivoting the stand 23 the fastening part 2 can be pivoted forwards and backwards relative to the rear wheel fork 1 in order to park the bicycle or to set it in motion.

[0008] In the present embodiment, the combination ring section 21 of the fastening part 2 can be combined with the first mounting recess 13, the second mounting recess 14 or the third mounting recess 15 of the first hook section 11 or the second hook section 12, depending on the actual need (see the Fig. 2, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6) to increase flexibility during assembly.

[0009] Accordingly, when the stand 23 is frequently pivoted, the inwardly tapered structure of a stabilizing recess 113 and the likewise tapered structure of the front side of a respective stabilizing block 213 effectively prevent the attached fastening part 2 from detaching from the rear fork 1 due to the separating force generated by the vibrations of the bicycle during riding, so as to increase the combination strength between the fastening part 2 and the rear fork 1.In addition, the stabilizing recesses 113 are continuously connected to the corresponding mounting holes 112, 121 and partially to the combination hole 212, so that the stabilizing blocks 213 can be better inserted into the corresponding stabilizing recesses 113 when the through-axle 3 is passed through the mounting holes 112, 121 and the combination hole 212, which increases the stability when combining the fastening part 2 and the rear fork 1. It is noteworthy that the fastening part 2 can further be connected upwardly to a rear luggage carrier 7 so that the luggage carrier 7 can carry objects (as shown in FIGS. Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 shown).

[0010] It will be on the Fig. 9 and Fig.10. The bicycle accessory mounting structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention is attachable to the central axis portion A11 of a bicycle, wherein the central axis portion A11 has a fourth mounting recess 16.
