Bracket for a U-lock

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a bracket for attaching an associated U-lock, comprising a lock body and a shackle, to a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular a bicycle.

[0002] DE 94 07 386 U1 discloses a bracket for attaching an associated U-lock, comprising a lock body and a shackle, to a two-wheeled vehicle.

[0003] Portable U-locks can be used to secure bicycles against unauthorized removal. These locks have a shackle that can be locked to the lock body, or at least one arm of the shackle can be optionally released from the lock body. For example, the released shackle of the U-lock can be wrapped around a section of the bicycle frame and a fixed object, such as a lamppost or bicycle rack, so that the bicycle is securely connected to the fixed object after the shackle is locked to the lock body. Alternatively, the shackle can be threaded through a section of the bicycle frame and one of the wheels, preventing the wheel from rotating after the shackle is locked to the lock body and thus securing the bicycle against unauthorized removal.

[0004] The shackle of a U-lock can, for example, be rigid and U-shaped, with such a U-shaped shackle having two arms connected by a connecting section. On some U-locks, the arms may be of equal length, and the entire shackle may optionally be detachable from the lock body to secure the U-lock to an object. Alternatively, the shackle may, for example, have a short and a long arm, with only the short arm detachable from the lock body. When the U-lock is open, the short arm can pivot around the long arm to guide the shackle around an object to be secured.

[0005] Since U-locks are frequently transported between locations when used to secure bicycles, users desire a convenient way to carry the lock without having to carry a bag or backpack. Therefore, there is a need for mounts into which the U-lock can be inserted and attached to the bicycle, allowing it to be carried directly on the bike during a ride.

[0006] However, the design of such brackets presents the challenge that, on the one hand, they must be compact so as not to impede the bicycle's operation, while on the other hand, they must ensure the reliable attachment of U-locks to prevent them from accidentally coming loose, especially while riding. Furthermore, U-locks can vary in design, for example, in terms of their shape and, in particular, the cross-section of the shackle. Ideally, a bracket should be designed to securely accommodate a variety of U-locks, allowing for flexible use and the attachment of different types of U-locks.Furthermore, it is desirable that such holders are easy to mount and convenient to use, so that a user can quickly and securely fix the U-lock in the holder for transport and easily remove it from the holder to lock a two-wheeler.

[0007] It is therefore an object of the invention to create a bracket for attaching an associated U-lock to a two-wheeler, which enables reliable attachment with simple and flexible handling.

[0008] This problem is solved by a holder with the features of claim 1, and in particular by the fact that the holder comprises a housing extending along a longitudinal axis of the holder and an insert part which is at least partially arranged within the housing and is rotatable relative to the housing about an axis of rotation between an insertion position and a locking position. The holder has a receiving space for a leg of the bracket, into which the leg can be inserted in the insertion position, wherein the leg inserted into the receiving space can be clamped in the receiving space by rotating the insert part from the insertion position to the locking position.

[0009] The padlock, which can be inserted into the holder or its receiving space, can in particular have a shackle with a first and a second leg, wherein the first and / or the second leg can be inserted into the receiving space in the insertion position. For example, the leg of the shackle can be circular or rectangular, in particular square, in cross-section and / or in the state inserted into the receiving space when projected onto a plane oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holder. Furthermore, the leg can have a cross-sectional area that is rotationally symmetrical with respect to a rotation by an angle by which the insert is rotated from the insertion position to the locking position.

[0010] By allowing the insert to be rotated from an insertion position to a locking position, enabling the arm to be first inserted into the receiving space in the insertion position and then clamped in place in the locking position, the holder can be operated by a user with a simple rotary motion to securely hold a padlock. To facilitate easy insertion of the arm into the receiving space in the insertion position and its subsequent clamping in place in the locking position, the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving space can, for example, be larger in the insertion position than in the locking position. In particular, a arm that is positively engaged in the receiving space in the insertion position can thus be clamped in place after the insert is rotated into the locking position.For example, it may be provided that the leg can be inserted into the receiving space along the longitudinal axis of the holder in the insertion rotation position, or that the holder has an opening extending along the longitudinal axis through which the leg can be inserted into the receiving space perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

[0011] The receiving space, in a plane oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bracket, can be bounded on three sides and open on one side in the insertion position, allowing the leg to be inserted through the open side. With this type of bracket design, the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving space in the insertion position can correspond to the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​a leg that allows rotation of the insert from the insertion position to the locking position with the leg inserted, without being blocked by the leg. Alternatively, the receiving space in the insertion position can be bounded on four sides, allowing the leg to be inserted along the longitudinal axis of the bracket. In the locking position, the receiving space can be bounded on at least two sides to allow the leg to be clamped between at least two sides.In particular, the recording space can be limited on three or four sides in the locked rotation position.

[0012] Furthermore, it may be provided that the leg, in the locking position, can be clamped in the receiving space at least along a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the insert. For example, pressure can be applied to the leg along such a perpendicular direction in the locking position, so that the leg is clamped in the receiving space in this direction. It may also be provided that the leg can be clamped in at least two directions in the receiving space, these directions being perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the insert and perpendicular to each other.

[0013] By clamping one leg of the shackle in the receiving chamber, the shackle and the attached lock body can be securely held in the bracket, allowing the U-lock to be securely attached to the bicycle. It may be designed so that the leg can be inserted into the receiving chamber when the U-lock is closed, in which case the shackle is attached to the lock body and, in particular, locked, provided the insert is in the insertion rotation position. This allows a user to insert the entire U-lock into the bracket and attach it to the bicycle in a single step, without having to connect the lock body to the shackle in a subsequent step. Alternatively, it is also possible that the leg must first be inserted into the receiving chamber, after which the lock body can be connected to the shackle.For example, the leg can be inserted into the receiving space along the longitudinal axis of the holder in the insertion rotation position of the insert part in order to then connect the lock body to the shackle.

[0014] By clamping the arm within the receiving space, the arm can be fixed in the locking position both axially with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bracket and radially within the receiving space. Any rotational movements of the arm within the receiving space are also prevented by this clamping. This prevents movement of the U-lock held in the bracket, ensuring that the U-lock is securely held and preventing rattling noise while driving. The insert can be axially fixed within the housing with respect to the longitudinal axis of the bracket and radially enclosed by the housing within an angular range of at least 180°, so that the insert can only be moved rotationally relative to the housing.Translational relative movements between the components of the holder can thus be excluded, particularly in the locked rotation position. Furthermore, the insert can be blocked or lockable in the locked rotation position, thus preventing unintentional rotation of the insert, especially into the insertion rotation position, and a release of the clamping force on the leg.

[0015] Further embodiments can be found in the dependent claims, the description and the drawings.

[0016] In some embodiments, the insert part can have a contact surface for the leg, which limits the receiving space on one side, wherein the leg can be clamped between the contact surface and an inside of the housing opposite the contact surface in the locking rotation position.

[0017] In particular, the contact surface can be moved from the insertion position to the locking position by rotating the insert part, so that the contact surface faces the inside of the housing, and the leg is positioned between the contact surface and the inside in the locking position. By such a movement of the contact surface in the locking position, the leg inserted into the receiving space can be clamped between the contact surface and the inner housing, whereby the contact surface, as a result of the rotation into the locking position, can exert pressure on the leg towards the inside. The forces acting to clamp the leg can, in particular, act perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holder and / or the axis of rotation of the insert part.By ensuring that the insert can only be rotated relative to the housing, the insert can be fixed in the housing in the direction or directions in which forces act to clamp the leg, so that the forces can be transferred to and dissipated from the housing.

[0018] Furthermore, it may be provided that the leg can be positioned against the mounting surface in both the insertion and locking positions. As a result of and / or during rotation of the insert into the locking position, the extent of the receiving space extending from the mounting surface may change, and this extent in the locking position of the insert may be defined by the distance between the mounting surface and the inside of the housing. The extent of the receiving space extending from the mounting surface may decrease during rotation, so that a leg that can be inserted into the receiving space and rests against the mounting surface in the insertion position, and in particular a leg that can be positively engaged in the receiving space, can be clamped between the mounting surface and the inside in the locking position.

[0019] The leg inserted into the receiving space can, for example, rotate with the insert during rotation, or the insert can be rotated relative to the inserted leg to clamp the leg in the locking position. In both cases, where the leg rotates with the insert and is fixed relative to the housing, the center point of a cross-sectional area of ​​the leg, which is inserted into the receiving space in the insertion position and rests against the contact surface, can be arranged eccentrically to the axis of rotation of the insert. The distance between this center point and the contact surface can therefore change, and in particular decrease, as a result of rotation of the insert, so that the contact surface can exert pressure on the leg in the direction of the inside of the housing in the locking position.

[0020] In the locking position, the receiving space can be limited at least on one side by the housing, and in particular by the aforementioned inner surface. However, especially in the insertion position, the receiving space can be open on one side in planes oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holder, in order to allow the leg to be inserted into the receiving space. The insert can limit the receiving space on one, two, or three sides, for example, in both the insertion and locking positions. The receiving space can be limited on the same number of sides in both the insertion and locking positions, as projected onto a plane oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, by the insert.In particular, the inside of the housing in the locking rotation position can form an additional limitation on one side of the receiving space in a projection onto a plane oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holder, compared to the insertion rotation position.

[0021] In some embodiments, the receiving space in the insertion rotary position can have a first clear height and a second clear height in the locking rotary position in a plane extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the second clear height corresponds to a distance between the contact surface and the housing, in particular the inside, and wherein the second clear height is less than the first clear height.

[0022] The clear height is thus defined in a plane oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and along the direction in which the mounting surface and the inside of the housing are opposite to each other in the locking rotation position of the insert. Consequently, the direction along which the clear height of the receiving space is to be determined is independent of the rotation position of the insert. Since the second clear height is less than the first clear height, a leg inserted into the receiving space in the insertion rotation position, whose cross-sectional diameter may, for example, correspond to the first clear height, can be clamped in the receiving space by rotating the insert into the locking rotation position. For this purpose, the leg or...The bracket, for example, may have an elastically deformable sleeve, allowing the leg to be clamped in the receiving space in the locked position by compressing this sleeve on at least two sides between the contact surface and the inner surface. The first clear height and / or the second clear height can be adapted to, and / or adjustable within, the cross-sectional area of ​​the leg to be inserted, in order to reliably clamp the leg in the receiving space. For example, to reduce the first clear height and / or the second clear height, an adapter can be inserted into the housing and / or the insert to decrease the distance between the contact surface and the housing in the locked position and to allow a leg with a smaller cross-sectional diameter to be clamped in the holder. This will be explained in more detail below.

[0023] In some embodiments, the contact surface can have at least one engagement section projecting towards the inside of the housing in the locking position, by which the leg inserted into the receiving space is axially fixed in the receiving space with respect to the longitudinal axis of the holder in the locking position of the insert part. In particular, the contact surface can have an engagement section at each end section of the receiving space that is axially opposite to the other with respect to the longitudinal axis.

[0024] For example, the engagement section(s) can form ridge-like projections on the contact surface, extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holder, thus reducing the distance between the contact surface and the inside of the housing in the area of ​​the engagement sections. The engagement section(s) can thereby, for example, engage with an elastically deformable sleeve of the leg located in the receiving space to axially fix the leg within the receiving space. In particular, the aforementioned engagement sections can extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holder across the entire contact surface, while it is also possible for the engagement sections to form local projections of lesser extent on the contact surface.

[0025] It can be provided that the leg is clamped in the receiving space by the engagement section(s) in the locking position. In particular, by forming two engagement sections on the contact surface, located at the respective end sections of the receiving space, the leg can be axially fixed on two sides within the receiving space. Furthermore, such a two-sided pressing of the engagement sections into the leg can transmit a clamping force to the leg to securely hold it in the receiving space or in the holder. Alternatively or additionally, it can also be provided that the contact surface outside the engagement sections rests against the leg inserted into the receiving space and / or exerts pressure on the leg towards the inside of the housing to increase the clamping effect generated in the locking position.

[0026] In some embodiments, the axis of rotation can be aligned parallel to or corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the bracket. The leg inserted into the bracket or receiving space can also extend along the longitudinal axis of the bracket, with the locking body connected to the inserted leg being oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bracket and thus to the axis of rotation of the insert. The longitudinal axis of the bracket can, in particular, correspond to the direction of the greatest extent of the bracket and / or the housing, so that the leg can be received and clamped over the largest possible area within the receiving space.

[0027] In some embodiments, the insert can be moved from the insertion position to the locking position by rotating it through an angle between 20° and 160°. Furthermore, the insert can be moved from the insertion position to the locking position by rotating it through an angle between 45° and 135°. For example, this angle can be 90°, particularly within manufacturing tolerances.

[0028] The arm inserted into the receiving space in the insertion position can, for example, be moved along with the insert during the rotation into the locking position, so that the arm or shackle inserted into the receiving space, and possibly the lock body connected to the shackle, can also rotate by the angle between the insertion and locking positions. For example, when the insert is rotated 90°, the arm can be inserted into the insert by a movement in a plane perpendicular to the plane in which the frame of a two-wheeler, to which the bracket is attached, extends. By rotating the insert and the shackle by 90°, the shackle can, however, be positioned in the locking position within the plane in which the frame of the two-wheeler extends.The U-lock can therefore be transported during a journey in an orientation in which the U-lock does not extend laterally beyond the frame of the bicycle or only extends slightly, so that a user is not impaired by the U-lock held to the frame during the journey.

[0029] In principle, regardless of the angle between the insertion and locking positions, the U-lock mounted in the bracket can extend in a plane in the locking position that corresponds to a plane defined by the frame of a two-wheeled vehicle to which the bracket is attached. Furthermore, the U-lock can extend in a plane parallel to such a plane defined by the frame in the locking position. The bracket can thus be attached to the frame such that its longitudinal axis is parallel to or along a frame section, and the lock body of a U-lock inserted into the bracket extends in a plane defined by the frame or parallel to it in the locking position. The plane defined by the frame can, in particular, be defined by a frame triangle.

[0030] In some embodiments, the insert can have a radially outward-projecting stop extension relative to the axis of rotation, which, in the locked position, abuts a stop recess formed by the housing. This stop allows the user to tactilely perceive that the locked position has been reached, thus preventing over-rotation of the insert and ensuring correct adjustment. Furthermore, the stop recess formed by the housing can also prevent any axial relative movement between the insert and the housing in the locked position, for example, due to manufacturing tolerances, thereby further increasing the stability of the holder in this position.

[0031] In some embodiments, the insert can extend axially beyond the housing on both sides with respect to the longitudinal axis of the holder and overlap the housing at axially opposite end sections. In particular, the insert can abut the end sections of the housing. Such overlapping allows the insert and the housing to be axially fixed relative to each other, so that only rotational relative movements between the insert and the housing are possible. The housing can, in particular, enclose a portion of the insert located within the housing in a sleeve-like manner, with sections of the insert extending axially out of the housing at least partially covering the housing in the radial direction to prevent axial relative movements between the housing and the insert.

[0032] In some embodiments, the receiving space can be moved in a projection onto a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis by rotating the insert. For example, a center point of the receiving space, defined in the locking rotation position, can be arranged eccentrically to the axis of rotation of the insert, so that this center point can move along a circular path around the axis of rotation during rotation of the insert. Similarly, the leg inserted into the receiving space in the insertion rotation position, or a center point of its cross-sectional area, can be moved together with the receiving space during rotation of the insert and, for example, guided along a circular path around the axis of rotation.

[0033] In such embodiments, the position of the receiving space relative to the housing can change as a result of rotation of the insert. For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving space can also change as a result of or during the rotation of the insert, whereby the extent of the receiving space along at least one direction can decrease, particularly when the insert is moved from the insertion position to the locking position. As a result of such a reduction in the extent of the receiving space, for example, a leg that is positively engaged in the receiving space in the insertion position can be reliably clamped in the locking position.

[0034] In some embodiments, the leg, which is inserted into the receiving space in the insertion position and clamped in the receiving space in the locking position, can be positioned eccentrically to the axis of rotation. Consequently, when the insert rotates from the insertion position to the locking position, the leg can rotate with it or be displaced about the axis of rotation of the insert. In particular, the leg can move within and together with the receiving space, provided the receiving space is movable by rotating the insert. For example, during rotation of the insert, the leg inserted into the receiving space can be guided towards an inner surface of the housing so that, in the locking position of the insert, it can be clamped between a contact surface of the insert and the inner surface of the housing.

[0035] In some embodiments, the leg inserted into the receiving space can be moved along with the rotation of the insert. In particular, the center point of a cross-sectional area of ​​the leg can be moved along a circular arc around the axis of rotation. Accordingly, the leg, which is clamped in the receiving space in the locking rotation position of the insert, can be inserted into the receiving space eccentrically with respect to the axis of rotation when the insert is in the insertion rotation position.

[0036] In some embodiments, the housing may have an insertion ramp over which the leg can be guided into the locking position during rotation of the insert, and against which the leg rests when clamped in the locking position. Such an insertion ramp may, in particular, adjoin the aforementioned inner surface of the housing or be formed by the inner surface of the housing that faces a contact surface of the insert clamping the leg.By having the leg rest against the insertion ramp, a force exerted on the leg from the contact surface towards the inside of the housing can be partially redirected into a force acting transversely and, in particular, perpendicularly to this force, thus clamping the leg in the receiving space. This allows the leg to be clamped in the receiving space along two directions oriented transversely and, in particular, perpendicularly to each other when the insert is in the locking rotation position. Furthermore, during rotation of the insert, the leg can be more easily brought into contact with the inside of the housing via such an insertion ramp.

[0037] In some embodiments, the insert can form a U-shaped receptacle for the leg and encompass the leg inserted into the receiving space. The insert can thus delimit the receiving space on three sides, whereby, particularly in the locking position of the insert, the receiving space may be delimited on one side by the housing and / or the aforementioned inner surface of the housing. The contact surface described above, opposite the inner surface of the housing in the locking position, can be formed, in particular, by a base section of the U-shaped receptacle, from which two further sections of the receptacle, encompassing the leg inserted into the receiving space, may project.

[0038] Alternatively, it may also be intended that the insert only limits the receiving space on one or both sides. For example, the receiving space may also be limited by the housing on at least one side in the insertion rotation position, whereby the insert can be rotated from the insertion rotation position to the locking rotation position relative to such a limitation of the receiving space formed by the housing.

[0039] In some embodiments, the insert may form a driver for the leg and be designed to carry the leg inserted into the receiving space along with it when the insert rotates. For example, a leg with a rectangular or square cross-section may, in the insertion-rotation position, rest in a U-shaped receptacle formed by the insert, so that the leg can also be rotated and clamped in the receiving space by rotating the insert. Furthermore, this allows a leg inserted into the receiving space, or the entire bracket, to be carried along with the rotation of the insert, for example, to guide the bracket into a plane defined by the frame of a two-wheeler to which the bracket is connected, and to clamp it in the locking-rotation position.

[0040] In some embodiments, the leg can be inserted into the receiving space by movement in a plane oriented perpendicular to the axis of rotation and / or the longitudinal axis of the holder. In particular, the leg can be inserted into the receiving space by a translational movement along an insertion direction oriented perpendicular to the axis of rotation and / or the longitudinal axis of the holder. Thus, in some embodiments, the receiving space can be accessed from a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation and / or the longitudinal axis of the holder when the insert is in the insertion rotation position. This allows the leg to be inserted into the receiving space easily and eliminates the need to push it in along its longitudinal axis, where, for example, slight deviations from the longitudinal axis during such insertion could lead to the leg tilting or striking the mounting surface.This allows the insertion of the leg into the recording space to be made as comfortable as possible for the user.

[0041] In some embodiments, the housing and the insert can each have a longitudinal slot extending along the longitudinal axis of the holder, wherein the longitudinal slots can be aligned with each other in the insertion rotation position, and wherein the leg can be inserted into the receiving space through the longitudinal slots. For example, the leg can be inserted into the receiving space through the longitudinal slots by a translational movement along an insertion direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. It can also be provided that the insert is inserted into the housing through the longitudinal slot of the housing during assembly of the holder, wherein the housing can, in particular, be elastically deformable in order to widen the longitudinal slot, if necessary, during this insertion of the insert.

[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the insert may at least partially, and in particular completely, block the longitudinal slot of the housing in the locking position. The longitudinal slot of the housing can thus provide access to the receiving space in the insertion position of the insert, allowing the shank to be inserted into the receiving space, although this access may be blocked by the insert in the locking position. Unintentional release of an inserted padlock from the holder, for example, due to vibrations occurring during travel, can thus be reliably prevented. For example, the longitudinal slot of the housing in the locking position can be blocked by a section of the insert that is adjacent to the aforementioned contact surface and extends, in particular, perpendicular to the contact surface.The recording space can be circumferentially and / or quadruple-sided limited in the locked rotation position in a projection onto a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and, in particular, can be completely enclosed.

[0043] In some embodiments, the insert can include a lock body receptacle into which the lock body can be inserted. In particular, it can be provided that, in a closed state of the padlock in which the shackle and / or the shank is connected to the lock body, the shank can be inserted into the receptacle and the lock body into the lock body receptacle.

[0044] The lock body receptacle thus serves to hold the lock body in the bracket and, in particular, to limit movements of the lock body perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bracket or rotational movements around the longitudinal axis. To enable the shackle lock to be inserted into the bracket in the closed position, the aforementioned longitudinal slot can extend axially along the longitudinal axis of the bracket into the lock body receptacle, allowing the shank to be inserted through the longitudinal slot into the receiving space and the lock body connected to the shank to be inserted into the lock body receptacle. This allows the entire shackle lock to be inserted into the bracket in a single step when the insert is in the insertion rotation position, without requiring, for example, a further step to connect the shackle to the lock body after the shank has been inserted into the receiving space.

[0045] In some embodiments, the lock body receptacle can be tapered in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and in particular, conically tapered. Such a tapered and / or narrowed design of the lock body receptacle can, in particular, allow the use of lock bodies with different shapes, whereby a lock body can be inserted to varying depths into the receptacle depending on its shape. Differently shaped lock bodies can thus be held securely within the receptacle, so that U-locks of various designs can be attached to a bicycle using the bracket.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the insert can be rotated from the insertion position to the locking position by turning the lock body inserted into the lock body receptacle. The lock body receptacle can be designed such that the inserted lock body is aligned perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the insert and / or the longitudinal axis of the bracket. This allows the lock body to be used as a lever to transmit rotation to the insert and to apply the force required to clamp the arm in the locking position. Since the lock body receptacle can also be tapered, variously designed lock bodies can be used as levers, and in particular, arms of such design can be rotated along with the insert, even if the insert cannot act as a driver for them.

[0047] In some embodiments, the axis of rotation can be aligned parallel to or along a direction in which the leg connected to the lock body and inserted into the receiving space extends from the lock body.

[0048] In some embodiments, an adapter for using the bracket with another U-lock, whose shackle differs from that of the associated U-lock, may be provided. This adapter can optionally be attached to the housing, and one leg of the additional U-lock, when the adapter is inserted, can be clamped between the adapter and the insert in the locking position. In particular, the adapter can be clipped onto the housing. Furthermore, the leg can be clamped between the adapter and the aforementioned contact surface formed by the insert when the adapter is inserted into the housing. For this purpose, the adapter can be attached, in particular, to the aforementioned inner side of the housing.

[0049] Such an adapter can, for example, reduce the distance between the mounting surface and the housing in the locking position. This allows a leg with a cross-sectional area different from that of the shackle of the associated U-lock, and in particular a smaller cross-sectional area, to be clamped in the receiving space by rotating the insert from the insertion position to the locking position. The bracket can thus be easily adapted to various U-locks and the design of their shackles, enabling flexible use for attaching different U-locks. For example, legs with different cross-sectional shapes, such as circular, rectangular, or square legs, and especially circular legs of varying diameters, can be attached to a bicycle using the bracket.Various adapters, each corresponding to a specific bracket, can be optionally inserted into the housing. In particular, attaching the adapter by clipping it in allows for quick adjustments to the mount. Furthermore, the adapter can have an insertion ramp which, when inserted, can act like the aforementioned insertion ramp of the housing, thus clamping the inserted leg in two directions within the mounting space.

[0050] In some embodiments, the holder may include a locking element that allows the insert to be locked in the locking position. This locking element prevents the insert from rotating from the locking position to the insertion position, thus preventing unintentional opening of the holder. This ensures that the insert remains reliably in the locking position and that the leg is clamped in the receiving space, unless the insert is intentionally released and moved into the insertion position by a user.

[0051] In some embodiments, the locking element can be axially preloaded with respect to the longitudinal axis in the direction of a locking position. In particular, the locking element can be preloaded in the direction of the locking position by means of a spring supported on the housing. In the locking position, the insert can be locked by the locking element against rotation from the locking position to the insertion position, whereby such rotation can be released by displacing the locking element against the preload. The locking element can, in particular, be axially retractable against the preload in order to be axially displaced from a path of movement described by the insert during rotation from the locking position to the insertion position. In the locking position, however, the locking element can engage axially in the path of movement of the insert.The preload can be generated in particular by means of a spring, which can be supported, for example, in a spring receptacle of the housing and surrounded by the spring receptacle.

[0052] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the locking element can have an actuating section, wherein the locking element can be moved from the locking position to a release position axially offset from the locking position by actuating the actuating section, in which the insert part is released for rotation in the direction of the insertion rotation position, in particular into the insertion rotation position.

[0053] By deliberately pressing the actuating section, a user can move the locking element into the release position, allowing the insert to be rotated into the insertion position. This enables, for example, the removal of a U-lock from the holder and its use to secure a bicycle. The actuating section can be designed, for instance, as a push button, allowing the locking element to be moved axially. Alternatively, the actuating section can allow the locking element to be rotated or pivoted, with the rotational movement being convertible into or redirected into an axial movement of the locking element. The actuating section can, for example, be designed as a protruding lever to rotate the locking element.

[0054] In some embodiments, the insert may be designed so that, in rotational positions between the locking position and the insertion position, the locking element is prevented from moving into the locking position. Thus, after the locking element has been moved into the release position, the insert can be rotated without having to separately hold the locking element in the release position, for example, by actuating the actuating section. A user therefore only needs to actuate the actuating section to move the locking element into the release position and rotate the insert slightly relative to the locking position, whereupon movement of the locking element into the locking position is blocked, and the insert can then be rotated into the insertion position.For this purpose, the insert part can, for example, be arranged axially in alignment with the locking element or at least a section of the locking element in rotational positions between the locking rotational position and the insertion rotational position.

[0055] In some embodiments, the locking element can be moved from the locked position to the unlocked position by a rotational movement about an actuating axis that is parallel to or corresponds to the axis of rotation. For this purpose, the locking element can, in particular, have the aforementioned actuating section, which can, for example, be designed as a lever projecting radially with respect to the actuating axis. A user can therefore transmit a rotation to the locking element by actuating this lever in order to move the locking element into the unlocked position.

[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the locking element can have a displacement section with which the locking element can engage in a displacement recess formed in the insert part in the locking rotational position of the insert part, wherein the displacement recess and the displacement section can each have a drive ramp which interact in such a way that the locking element can be axially displaced out of the displacement recess by the rotational movement.

[0057] The interaction of the respective drive ramps can, in particular, enable the conversion of a rotational movement of the locking element around an actuating axis aligned parallel to the axis of rotation of the insert into a translational movement of the locking element along its longitudinal axis. Specifically, the locking element can be forced out of the locking recess into the release position by the interaction of the displacement section with the displacement recess. Furthermore, upon reaching the locking rotational position, the displacement section can engage directly with the displacement recess due to a preload on the locking element.The locking element can thus be automatically moved into the blocking position when the locking rotation position is reached, in which the insert part is reliably blocked against rotation into the insertion rotation position, but the insert part can be released immediately and easily by a user by actuating the locking element or its actuating section.

[0058] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the displacement depression and the displacement section can have two respective drive ramps which interact in such a way that the locking element in the locking rotational position can be axially displaced from the displacement depression regardless of the direction along which the rotational movement about the actuating axis takes place.

[0059] This design of the displacement recess and displacement section, each with two respective drive ramps, allows the user to actuate the locking element or its actuating section in any direction to move the locking element from the locked position to the released position. Consequently, the user can operate the actuating section conveniently and flexibly depending on the circumstances, without having to think about the correct actuation of the actuating section.

[0060] As an alternative to a rotary movement, in some embodiments it may be provided that the blocking element can be forced out of the displacement recess axially along the longitudinal axis by a pushing and / or pulling movement in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the holder through the interaction of drive ramps of a displacement section and a displacement recess.

[0061] In some embodiments, the locking element may have a stop section which abuts a boundary of the housing when the release position is reached. The stop section can also abut the boundary when the locking element is moved from the locking position to the release position and reaches the release position. In particular, such a stop section can limit the rotational movement of the locking element to prevent it from over-rotating beyond the release position. For this purpose, the stop section can be designed as a section projecting radially away from an actuating axis of the locking element, which abuts the inner housing as a result of the rotational movement.The inner housing can furthermore have, in particular, two such limits, so that the stop section of the locking element abuts one of these limits depending on the direction of the locking element's rotation when the locking element reaches the release position. Furthermore, the stop section can be arranged opposite to the aforementioned displacement section of the locking element.

[0062] In some embodiments, the insert can have a detent recess into which the locking element engages in the insertion position. The locking element can be disengaged from the detent recess by rotating the insert from the insertion position to the locking position. Thus, even in the insertion position, the insert can be stabilized against unintentional rotation by the locking element. In particular, the locking element can be disengaged axially from the detent recess against a preload relative to the longitudinal axis of the holder, so that a force must be applied to rotate the insert out of the locking position. A user can therefore conveniently insert the leg into the receiving space without the insert being able to unintentionally rotate out of the insertion position during this process.In contrast to the locking rotary position, in such embodiments the insert part is not blocked by the locking element, but the locking element can be retracted by rotating the insert part. For this purpose, the detent recess and the locking element can be designed, in particular, with interacting chamfers. Furthermore, the detent recess as a whole can be formed by a surface of the insert part that runs obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis.

[0063] In some embodiments, the bracket may also include a connecting element that can be attached to the frame of the two-wheeler, and the housing may be fixed to the connecting element. In particular, the housing may be screwed to the connecting element. The connecting element may, for example, grip the housing on both sides, but must allow access to the housing within an angle of at least 90°, so that the U-lock inserted into the bracket, or its shackle, together with the insert, can be rotated from the insertion position to the locking position.

[0064] In some embodiments, the connecting element can be attached to the frame of the two-wheeler in a first connecting position and in a second connecting position, wherein the housing can be fixed to the connecting element in the first connecting position and in the second connecting position of the connecting element, and wherein the connecting element can be moved from the first connecting position to the second connecting position by a rotation of 180° about a first adjustment axis oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bracket and by a rotation of 90° about a second adjustment axis parallel to or corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the bracket.In particular, the two connection positions of the connecting element allow the bracket to be used either as a side bracket, so that the bracket is positioned parallel to and offset from a plane defined by the frame of the bicycle, or as a vertical bracket, so that the bracket can be positioned in the plane defined by the frame of the bicycle. A user can thus flexibly choose how the bracket is attached to the frame, whereby the shackle of the U-lock inserted into the bracket, or of any additional U-lock inserted into the bracket, can be positioned in the plane defined by the frame of the bicycle when used as a vertical bracket, and in a plane parallel to it when used as a side bracket.

[0065] In some embodiments, the leg can be inserted into the receiving space in the same way, particularly along corresponding or parallel directions, in both the first and second connection positions of the connecting element when the housing is fixed to the connecting element. Thus, the holder can be operated essentially identically, regardless of whether it is used as a side support or not, with the leg being insertable into the receiving space along the aforementioned insertion direction.

[0066] In some embodiments, the connecting element can have at least one mounting opening and the housing at least one mounting channel, wherein the housing can be fixed to the connecting element by means of a fastening means inserted through the mounting opening and the mounting channel, wherein the mounting opening and the mounting channel can be aligned in the first and second connecting positions of the connecting element in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bracket at a 45° angle to an insertion direction along which the leg can be inserted into the receiving space. In particular, the mounting opening and the mounting channel can be aligned at a 45° angle towards the frame relative to the insertion direction. The insertion direction can also correspond, in particular, to the insertion direction already mentioned, which runs in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bracket.With this orientation of the mounting opening, its orientation changes when the connecting element is rotated about the aforementioned first adjustment axis, particularly by 90° relative to the aforementioned second adjustment axis. If the connecting element is then rotated 90° about the second adjustment axis into the second connection position, the orientation of the mounting opening is identical in both the first and second connection positions. The housing can therefore be fixed to the connecting element in the same way in both the first and second connection positions. Specifically, the connecting element can have two parallel mounting openings, and the housing can have two parallel mounting channels. The mounting element can be a screw.

[0067] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the connecting element can have at least one mounting opening and the housing at least two mounting channels, which are arranged offset from each other by 90° around the longitudinal axis of the bracket. The housing can be attached to the connecting element in either a first mounting position or a second mounting position by means of a fastening element inserted through the mounting opening into one of the respective mounting channels. The bracket can also be used as both a vertical and a side bracket by means of two such mounting positions offset from each other by 90°. The connecting element can be attached to the frame in positions offset from each other by 90°, and in both cases, the housing can be connected to the frame via the connecting element due to the mounting channels, which are also offset by 90°.

[0068] Furthermore, in a design with mounting channels offset by 90° to each other, the housing can, in some embodiments, be fixed to the connecting element in a first mounting position and in a second mounting position, wherein the connecting element can be moved from the first mounting position to the second mounting position by a rotation of 180° about a first adjustment axis oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bracket and by a rotation of 90° about a second adjustment axis parallel to or corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the bracket. For example, in the first mounting position, the connecting element can be attached to the frame in a plane defined by the frame of the two-wheeler.By rotating the connecting element 90° around an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bracket, which can run parallel to the frame of the bicycle, the connecting element can be brought into a perpendicular orientation to the plane defined by the frame. If the connecting element is then rotated 180° around a first adjustment axis oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the housing can be attached to the connecting element in such a way that the orientation of the insert part in the insertion rotation position and in the locking rotation position remains unchanged compared to when the housing is connected to the connecting element in the first mounting position.

[0069] In some embodiments, the leg can be inserted into the receiving space in the same way in the first mounting position of the housing and in the second mounting position of the housing, in particular along directions corresponding to each other or parallel to each other.

[0070] In some embodiments, the connecting element can be attached to the frame of the two-wheeler by means of at least one fastening strap. The connecting element can have at least one strap guide channel into and / or through which a first end of the fastening strap, guided around the frame, can be inserted and / or passed. The fastening strap can be fixed in the fastening channel. In particular, the first end can be secured against being pulled back out of the fastening channel, so that the connecting element can be securely attached to the frame of the two-wheeler by means of the fastening strap. Fixing the connecting element to the frame by means of such a fastening strap makes it possible, in particular, to use the bracket flexibly with different two-wheelers and to attach it to different frames, especially frames of different diameters.In particular, the connecting element can be attached to the frame of the two-wheeler by means of at least two and / or exactly two fastening straps offset along the longitudinal axis of the bracket.

[0071] In some embodiments, the fastening strap can be fixed in the fastening channel by means of fixing screws arranged within the connecting element. The housing and the insert part may have aligned engagement openings in the insertion or locking positions, through which the fixing screws are accessible. These engagement openings thus allow access to the fixing screws when the bracket is fully assembled, enabling secure attachment of the bracket to the bicycle frame using the fastening strap.

[0072] For example, the locking screws can be accessible in the first mounting position in the locking position and in the second mounting position in the insertion position. In the second mounting position, the locking screws can be accessed, in particular, through the aforementioned longitudinal slots, which are aligned with each other in the insertion position and can function as access openings. Furthermore, the insert and the housing can each have access openings, which can be aligned with each other in the first mounting position when the insert is in the locking position, allowing the locking screws to be accessed with a tool. In particular, these access openings can be located on the aforementioned contact surface and on the inside of the housing.

[0073] In some embodiments, the connecting element may also have a pocket-like receptacle into which the first end of the fastening strap, which is guided around the frame, can be inserted. The first end of the fastening strap, which is guided around the frame and protrudes from the fastening channel, can thus be stowed in the receptacle. Any sharp edges of the first end of the fastening strap, particularly those of a strap cut by a user due to its relatively long length, can also be accommodated in the receptacle to prevent potential injuries to the user from such edges during use of the bracket.

[0074] The invention is explained below by way of example using a specific embodiment with reference to the drawings.

[0076] Fig. 1A and 1B Figure 1 shows a bracket 11 extending along a longitudinal axis L for attaching an associated U-lock 17 to a two-wheeled vehicle, enabling convenient transport of the U-lock 17 during a ride and its use at various locations to secure the two-wheeled vehicle. To secure a two-wheeled vehicle against unauthorized removal, the associated U-lock 17 comprises a lock body 13 and a U-shaped shackle 15, which has two arms 25 and 26 connected to each other via a connecting section 28 (see Figure 1). Fig. 12 and 13The shackle 15 can optionally be locked to the lock body 13 by means of a key 107 or released from the lock body 13 in order to connect and secure the two-wheeler to a fixed object such as a lamppost or a bicycle stand, for example, via the associated U-lock 17.

[0077] As the Fig. 10A bis 10C As shown, the bracket 11 can be attached to a section of a frame 85 of the two-wheeler by means of two fastening straps 93, so that the associated U-lock 17 received in the bracket 11 can also be connected to the frame 85 of the two-wheeler (see figure). Fig. 13 The bracket 11 and the associated U-lock 17 received in the bracket 11 can in particular be arranged in a plane P on the frame 85, which is defined by the frame 85 of the two-wheeler, so that the U-lock 17 received does not impair a user of the bracket 11 during a ride by protruding an unreasonably wide distance laterally beyond the frame 85.

[0078] The holder 11 comprises a housing 19 and an insert 21, which is partially located within the housing 19 but extends out of the housing 19 at end sections 41 that are axially opposite to each other with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11 and overlaps the end sections 41. This overlapping action fixes the insert 21 and the housing 19 axially relative to each other with respect to the longitudinal axis L and prevents movement (see also Fig. 3A bis 3D ).

[0079] While the insert 21 is thus axially fixed in the housing 19 with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11 and is encompassed by the housing 19 in a sleeve-like manner, the insert 21 is rotatable relative to the housing 19 about a rotation axis D parallel to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11 between an insertion position E and a locking position A. In the insertion position E, the leg 25 (or leg 26) of the shackle 15 of the associated padlock 17 can be inserted into a receiving space 23 of the holder 11 and clamped in the receiving space 23 by rotating the insert 11 into the locking position A. This is explained in more detail below (see in particular the following). Fig. 4C and 5C as well as Fig. 13 ).

[0080] The housing 19 and the insert part 21 each have a longitudinal slot 53 and 55 respectively, wherein the longitudinal slots 53 and 55 extend along the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11 and are aligned in the insertion rotation position E (see Fig. 1A , 3A , 3B and 10A In the insertion position E, the leg 25 of the shackle 15 of the associated padlock 17 can therefore be inserted into the receiving space 23 of the holder 11 along an insertion direction R, which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L and the rotation axis D of the insert part 21. The insertion of the leg 25 can thus be effected by a movement in a plane which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11.

[0081] Furthermore, the insert part 21 has a lock body receptacle 61 into which the lock body 13 of the associated padlock 17 can be inserted (see Fig. 1A , 4A , 5A ,10A and 13 The longitudinal slot 55 of the insert part 21 extends into the lock body receptacle 61, so that the associated shackle lock 17 can be inserted into the holder 11 in a closed state, in which the shackle 15 is connected to the lock body 13, when the insert part 21 is in the insertion rotation position E. In this insertion rotation position E, the leg 25 can consequently be inserted into the receiving space 23 and the lock body 13, connected to the shackle 15, into the lock body receptacle 61, so that the entire shackle lock 17 can be inserted into the holder 11 in a single step.

[0082] As especially from Fig. 4B As can be seen, in the illustrated embodiment, the insert part 21 forms a U-shaped receptacle 49 for the leg 25 inserted into the receiving space 23. The insert part 21 encompasses the leg 25 and thus delimits the receiving space 23 on three sides. The in Fig. 4B The leg 25, which is inserted into the receiving space 23 in a form-fitting manner, rests in the insertion rotation position E against a contact surface 27 formed by the insert part 21 and against two sections 57 and 59 of the insert part 21 projecting perpendicularly from the contact surface 27. The contact surface 27 thus forms, in a sense, a base section of the U-shaped receiving space 49, which is formed in cross-section or in a projection onto a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11.

[0083] While the leg 25 can be inserted into the receiving space 23 in the insertion rotation position E through the mutually aligned longitudinal slots 53 and 55 along the insertion direction R, the leg 25 is clamped in the receiving space 23 by rotating the insert part 21 into the locking rotation position A, as can be seen in particular from Fig. 4C As can be seen, in the embodiment shown in the figures, the insert part 21 can be rotated 90° from the insertion position E to the locking position A, so that the contact surface 27 is also rotated 90° as a result of the insert part 21 rotating into the locking position A. This rotation brings the contact surface 27 into a position in which it is opposite an inner surface 29 of the housing 19. This allows the leg 25 to be clamped between the contact surface 27 and the inner surface 29 of the housing 19.

[0084] In particular, the clamping effect can be generated by the fact that the receiving space 23 has a first clear height H1 in the insertion rotary position E and a second clear height H2 in the locking rotary position A, wherein the second clear height H2 corresponds to the distance between the contact surface 27 and the inside 29 of the housing 19 and wherein the second clear height H2 is less than the first clear height H1 (cf. Fig. 4B und 4C The leg 25, which already completely fills the receiving space 23 in the insertion rotation position E, is thus pressed in the locking rotation position A by the contact surface 27 towards the inside 29 of the housing 19 and is thereby clamped in the receiving space 23 between the inside 29 and the contact surface 27.

[0085] Furthermore, the contact surface 27 has an engagement section 31 at each end section 35 of the receiving space 23 which is axially opposite to each other with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11 and which projects in the direction of the inside 29 of the housing 19 in the locking rotation position A (cf. Fig. 1A , 2A , 2B and 7These engagement sections 31 allow the leg 25 to be axially fixed in the receiving space 23 with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11 when the insert 21 is in the locking rotation position A. Furthermore, the engagement sections 31 can transmit a force towards the inside 29 onto the leg 25, thus contributing to the clamping of the leg 25 in the receiving space 23. In particular, the engagement sections 31 can engage in an elastically deformable sleeve 33 of the leg 25 inserted into the receiving space 23 to axially fix the leg 25 in the holder 11 (see Figure 31). Fig. 4A bis 5C ).

[0086] As can be seen from the Fig. 4B und 4C Furthermore, it follows that the receiving space 23 can be moved by rotating the insert part 21 from the insertion rotation position E to the locking rotation position A in a projection onto a plane oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11 (see also Fig. 6A und 6B A center point 43 of the receiving space 23, which in the illustrated embodiment coincides with a center point 45 of a cross-sectional area of ​​the leg 25 of the shackle 15 of the associated shackle lock 17, is arranged eccentrically to the axis of rotation D of the insert part 11 and is therefore movable on a circular path around the axis of rotation D when the insert part 11 is moved from the insertion rotation position to the locking rotation position A (see also Fig. 6A und 6B Accordingly, the inserted leg 25 can also be moved along with the insert part 21 during its rotation, with the center point 45 of the cross-sectional area of ​​the leg 25 also moving on a circular path around the axis of rotation D of the insert part 21. This movement allows the leg 25, which is inserted into the receiving space 23 in the insertion rotation position E, to be brought into contact with the inner surface 29 of the housing 19, in order to be clamped between the contact surface 27 and the inner surface 29, and thus between the insert part 21 and the housing 19, in the locking rotation position A.

[0087] For the leg 25 of the shackle 15 of the associated lock 17, which can be positively inserted into the U-shaped receptacle 49 formed by the insert 21, the insert 21 acts as a driver 51 during rotation, so that a rotation of the insert 21 is directly transmitted to the leg 25. Furthermore, the lock body receptacle 61 allows the lock body 13 of the associated shackle lock 17, which is held in the bracket 11, to be used as a lever, so to speak, to move the insert 21 from the insertion rotation position E to the locking rotation position A and to generate the required clamping forces (see Figure 1). Fig. 4A and 13 ). Through the lock body 13, relatively large torques can thus be transmitted to the insert part 11 in order to apply a high clamping force and to achieve secure clamping of the leg 25 in the receiving space 23.

[0088] Furthermore, the movement of the leg 25 during the rotation of the insert part 21 also allows the orientation of the bracket 15 to be changed by the angle between the insertion rotation position E and the locking rotation position A, here by 90°. This allows the leg 25 to be inserted into the receiving space 23 along the insertion direction R such that, when the leg 25 is inserted into the receiving space 23, the bracket 15 is arranged in the insertion rotation position E in a plane perpendicular to the plane P defined by the frame 85 of the two-wheeler (see figure). Fig. 1A , 2A , 4A , 5A , 10B , 10C and 13By rotating the insert part 21 from the insertion position E to the locking position A, the shackle 15 can thus be positioned within the plane P defined by the frame 85 or a plane parallel thereto, so that a user is not hindered by the U-lock 17 attached to the two-wheeler while riding. As also shown Fig. 4C As can be seen, the connecting section 28 of the bracket 15 is arranged in the aforementioned plane P in the locking rotation position A of the insert part 21 when the leg 25 is inserted into the receiving space 23. Fig. 4B The connecting section 28 is hidden, however, the connecting section 28 of the bracket 15 extends in insertion rotation position E of the insert part 21 along the insertion direction R and is thus offset by 90° to the orientation of the connecting section 28 in the locking rotation position A of the insert part 21 when the leg 25 is inserted into the receiving space 23.

[0089] The inner surface 29 of the housing 19 also has an insertion ramp 47, over which the leg 25 is guided from the insertion rotary position E to the locking rotary position A during a rotation of the insert part 21 and against which the leg 25 rests in the locking rotary position A (see figure). Fig. 4C The insertion ramp 47 enables controlled and smooth guidance of the leg 25 when the leg 25 is brought into the locking position A in contact with the inner surface 29 of the housing 19 during rotation of the insert 21. Furthermore, by the leg 25 bearing against the insertion ramp 47 in the locking position A, a portion of the force acting on the leg 25 from the contact surface 27 towards the inner surface 29 of the housing 19 can be redirected into a component directed away from the longitudinal slot 53 of the housing 19. The insertion ramp 47 thus makes it possible to clamp the leg 25 in the locking position A in two directions within the receiving space 23, whereby these directions can be perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the holder and, in particular, perpendicular to each other.

[0090] The section 57 of the insert 21, which encompasses the leg 25, also closes the longitudinal slot 53 of the housing 19 in the locking position A, thus additionally securing the leg 25 against unintentional release from the holder 11. In the locking position A, the receiving space 23 is therefore bounded on four sides in cross-section or in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11, while the aligned longitudinal slots 53 and 55 form an opening in the receiving space 23 in the insertion position E, through which the leg 25 can be inserted into the receiving space.

[0091] In order to make the bracket 11 flexibly usable for attaching differently designed padlocks 17, an adapter 63 is also provided, which can optionally be inserted into the housing 19 and is shown, for example, in the exploded views of the Fig. 3A bis 3D As shown. In particular, the adapter 63 can be clipped onto the aforementioned inner surface 29 of the housing 19, which is arranged opposite the contact surface 27 of the insert part 21 in the locking rotation position A. This adapter 63 allows a user to selectively insert various, and in particular an additional, U-lock 17a into the holder 11, whereby one leg 25 of the additional U-lock 17a can also be reliably clamped in the holder 11 (see figure). Fig. 5A bis 5C ). Again, a connecting section 28 of the further bracket 15a is in Fig. 5C shown, in Fig. 5B However, it is hidden.

[0092] The further U-lock 17a has a shackle 15a with a circular cross-section, the cross-sectional diameter of this shackle 15a being less than the first clear height H1 of the receiving space 23 (cf. Fig. 5B The leg 25 of this shackle 15 therefore rests, after insertion into the receiving space 23, only against the contact surface 27 and the section 59 of the insert part 21 in the insertion rotation position E of the insert part 21, while the section 57 of the insert part 21 is spaced apart from the leg 25. However, by inserting or clipping in the adapter 63, it can be ensured that the leg 25 of the shackle 15a rests against the contact surface 27 and the adapter 63 in the locking rotation position A, so that the leg 25 of the shackle 15a, like the leg 25 of the shackle 15 of the associated lock 17, can also be clamped in the receiving space 23 in the locking rotation position A of the insert part 21. By inserting the adapter 63, in particular the second clear height H2 of the recording space 23 can be adjusted.The clear height of the receiving space 23 in the locking position A is reduced such that the leg 25 of the shackle 15a of the further padlock 17a can also be clamped in the holder 11. The clamping of the leg 25 of the shackle 15a thus takes place in particular between the adapter 63 and the contact surface 27. Furthermore, the adapter 63 also has an insertion ramp 47, so that the leg 25 of the shackle 15a is also clamped in two directions in the receiving space 23 when the insert 21 is in the locking position A. By means of the adapter 63, a user can thus flexibly adjust the holder 11 in order to accommodate and reliably clamp differently designed padlocks 17 or 17a in the holder 11. In particular, the bracket 11 may have additional adapters, not shown, to allow the bracket 11 to be optionally adapted to a variety of, in particular common, bracket shapes.

[0093] As furthermore, for example, from the in the Fig. 4A and 5AAs can be seen from the longitudinal sections shown, the lock body receptacle 61 of the insert 21 is designed to taper along the longitudinal axis L. In the illustrated embodiment, the lock body receptacle 61 is specifically designed to taper conically. This makes it possible, in addition to clamping differently shaped legs 25 in the receiving space 23, to reliably accommodate differently shaped lock bodies, in particular the lock body 13 of the associated padlock 17 and a lock body 13a of the further padlock 17a, which differs in shape, in the lock body receptacle 61. Due to the tapered design of the lock body receptacle 61, lock bodies 13 of various geometries or shapes can, in principle, be accommodated in the lock body receptacle 61, whereby the penetration depth of the respective lock bodies 13 may depend on the respective geometry or shape.The holder 11 can therefore reliably accommodate various U-locks 17 or 17a of different designs, so that a user can flexibly use the holder 11 to attach different U-locks 17 and 17a to a two-wheeler.

[0094] Furthermore, the lock body 13a of the additional shackle lock 17a can also be used as a lever, due to its insertion in the lock body receptacle 61, to transmit a rotation to the insert part 21 and to apply the necessary clamping forces. In addition, the rotation of the lock body 13a also allows the leg 25 of the shackle 15a to be moved along during a rotation of the insert part 21, even though the insert part 21 cannot act as a driver for this leg 25 due to the lack of contact between the leg 25 of the shackle 15a and the section 57 of the insert part 21.

[0095] Fig. 6A und 6B Figure 1 illustrates once again the movement of the receiving chamber 23 in a projection onto a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11 as a result of rotating the insert part 21 from the insertion position E to the locking position A, with the boundary of the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving chamber 23 indicated by a dashed line. As already explained, the center point 43 of the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving chamber 23 is guided in a circular arc by 90° around the axis of rotation D, with the center point 43 of the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving chamber 23 being eccentrically arranged relative to this axis.

[0096] While the receiving space 23 is clearly defined on four sides in the locking position A, in the insertion position E, the receiving space 23 is open in one direction by the aligned longitudinal slots 53 and 55 in the illustrated embodiment. However, even in the insertion position E, the receiving space 23 can be considered limited in the direction of the longitudinal slot 53 of the housing 19 because the insert part 21 can be rotated into the receiving space 23 about the axis of rotation D when the leg 25 is inserted. Thus, in the insertion position E, the receiving space 23 is limited in the direction of the longitudinal slot 53 by the distance between the contact surface 27 and the end of the insertion ramp 47 in the direction of the longitudinal slot 53, since a leg extending beyond this distance would block rotation of the insert part 21 into the locking position A (see also Fig. 4B, 4C , 5B und 5C ).

[0097] Furthermore, the holder 11 includes a locking element 65, which blocks rotation of the insert part 21 from the locking position A to the insertion position E (see figure). Fig. 3A bis 3D , 4A , 5A and 7 ). This blocking element 65 prevents the insert part 21 from turning unintentionally from the locking position A to the insertion position E, in order to ensure that the U-lock 17 or 17a inserted into the holder 11 does not suddenly come loose from the holder 11, for example during a ride on the two-wheeler, due to such a turn.

[0098] The locking element 65 is axially pre-tensioned with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11 in the direction of a locking position B by means of a spring 67, which is received in a spring receptacle 68 of the housing 19 and supported on the housing 19 (see Fig. 2A , 4A , 5A and 7In this blocking position B, the blocking element 65 engages axially with a head section 66 in a movement path which the insert part 21 describes during a rotation from the locking rotary position A to the insertion rotary position E, so that the insert part 21 is blocked against this rotation (cf. Fig. 2A ). If an unintentional rotation begins in the direction of the insertion rotation position E, a lateral limit 60 of the lock body receptacle 61 and / or the receiving space 23 abuts the head section 66 of the locking element 65, which is in the blocking position B, thus preventing such rotation. The lateral limit 60 can, in particular, abut the head section 66 when the insert part 21 is in the locking rotation position A and the blocking element 65 is in the blocking position B.

[0099] How Fig. 7 As shown, in the locking position B, the locking element 65 further engages with a displacement section 71 in a displacement recess 73 formed on the insert part 21. The displacement section 71 and the displacement recess 73 each have two drive ramps 75, which interact in such a way that the locking element 65 can be moved from the locking position B to a release position F, axially offset with respect to the longitudinal axis L relative to the locking position B, by actuating an actuating section 69. In this release position F, the insert part 21 is released for rotation from the locking position A to the insertion position E. For this purpose, a user can pivot the actuating section 69, which projects away from the locking element 65 like a lever, about a mounting axis T aligned parallel to the axis of rotation D of the insert part 21 and rotate the locking element 65 (see Figure 1). Fig. 2C Due to the interaction of the drive ramps 75, an axial movement of the locking element 65 along the longitudinal axis L and against the preload exerted by the spring 67 can be derived from this rotational movement of the displacement section 71, so that the locking element 65 can be moved into the release position F (see the Fig. 2C , 4A , 5A and 7 ).

[0100] Since both the displacement section 71 and the displacement recess 73 have two respective drive ramps 75, the locking element 65 can be forced from the locking position B to the release position F regardless of the direction in which a user actuates the actuating section 69. Thus, a user can move the locking element 65 from the locking position B to the release position F depending on the situation and without having to pay attention to the correct actuating direction, in order to rotate the insert part 21 from the locking rotary position A to the insertion rotary position E and to remove the padlock 17 or 17a received in the holder 11.

[0101] The blocking element 65 further comprises a stop section 77 arranged opposite to the displacement section 71, which strikes a boundary 79 of the housing 19 when the release position F is reached (see Fig. 2A and 8In particular, the housing 19 has two such limits 79, so that regardless of the direction in which the actuating section 69 is actuated by a user, movement of the locking element 65 beyond the release position F can be blocked and over-rotation of the locking element 65 can be prevented.

[0102] During rotation of the insert 21 from the locking position A to the insertion position E, or in rotational positions between the locking position A and the insertion position E, the insert 21 is axially aligned with the locking element 65 with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11, so that the insert 21 prevents the locking element 65 from returning to the locking position B. A user can therefore release the locking element 65 immediately after starting to rotate the insert 21, without having to continuously actuate its actuating section 69.

[0103] The insert part 21 also features a Fig. 7 The visible detent recess 81 engages the locking element 65 in the insertion position E. During rotation of the insert 21 from the insertion position E to the locking position A, the user must therefore force the locking element 65 out of the detent recess 81 against the preload exerted by the spring 67. This secures the insert 21 against unwanted rotation, even in the insertion position E. Specifically, the detent recess 81 adjoins a surface 82 inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis L. The locking element 65 is guided over this surface during rotation of the insert 21, moving into or out of the detent recess 81.Although the locking element 65 stabilizes the insert part 21 even in the insertion rotary position E, the insert part 21 is not blocked in the insertion rotary position E, but can be moved into the locking rotary position A by a deliberate rotation by a user, without the need to actuate the actuating section 69.

[0104] The composition of the bracket 11 is shown in particular in the exploded views of the Fig. 3A bis 3D The housing 19 is connected during assembly to a connecting element 83 by means of two fastening elements 91 designed as screws, via which the bracket 11 can be attached to the frame 85 of the two-wheeler (see also Fig. 10A bis 10C The connecting element 83 comprises two strap receptacles 105, which are arranged within respective strap guide channels 95. The aforementioned fastening straps 93 can be guided through the strap guide channels 95 and the strap receptacles 105 in order to attach the bracket 11 to the frame 85 (see Figure 1). Fig. 10A bis 10C For this purpose, a first end 97 of the fastening strap 93 can be guided around the frame 85 and into the strap guide channel 95, in order to be fastened in the strap guide channel 95 by means of a respective fixing screw 101. Furthermore, the connecting element 83 has a pocket-like receptacle 99 in which the first end 97 of the fastening strap 93, guided through the strap guide channel 95, can be stored (see figure). Fig. 11 ).

[0105] The insert part 21 can, for example, be inserted into the housing 19 through the longitudinal slot 53 of the housing 19, for which purpose the housing 19 may be elastically deformable. Furthermore, the insert part 21 has a stop protrusion 37 projecting radially with respect to the axis of rotation D, which abuts a stop recess 39 of the housing 19 in the locking position A (see Figure 1). Fig. 3A bis 3D and 8 In particular, this contact of the stop extension 37 with the stop recess 39 can prevent over-rotation of the insert part 21, and can also limit any relative movements between the insert part 21 and the housing 19 in the axial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the holder 11 that may be possible due to manufacturing tolerances by the stop recess 39 and the stop extension 37.

[0106] In order to attach the housing 19 to the connecting element 83, the fastening means 91 are inserted through fastening openings 87 formed on the connecting element 83 and into fastening channels 89 formed on the housing 19. Fig. 8 As shown, the housing 19 can have two pairs of mounting channels 89, wherein the mounting channels 89 of each pair are arranged offset from each other by 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the bracket 11. This makes it possible to connect the housing 19 to the connecting element 83 either in a first mounting position S1 or in a second mounting position S2, in order to optionally use the bracket 11 as a vertical support, so that the bracket 11 is connected to the frame 85 in the plane P defined by the frame 85 (see Figure 1). Fig. 10A , 10B and 13), or to use as a side support, for which the support 11 can be connected to the frame 85 laterally offset to the plane P defined by the frame 85 (see Fig. 10C ). For this purpose, the housing 19 can be attached to the connecting element 83 in a first connection position V1 of the connecting element 83 in the first fastening position S1 and in a second connection position V2 in the second fastening position S2 on the connecting element 83 (see Fig. 9A bis 9C ).

[0107] How Fig. 9A As shown, the housing 19 can be connected to the connecting element 83 in the first mounting position S1 and the first connection position V1 in such a way that the bracket 11 can be used as a vertical support, as shown. Fig. 10A and 10B To illustrate. However, to use bracket 11 as one in Fig. 10C To utilize the illustrated side bracket, the connecting element 83 can be rotated 180° from the first connection position V1 about a first adjustment axis J1, which is aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the bracket 11 and the rotation axis D of the insert part 21. Starting from this, in Fig. 9B In the position shown, the connecting element 83 can then be rotated by 90° about a second adjustment axis J2, which is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis L or the axis of rotation D. This results in the second connection position V2, in which the fastening means 91 can be guided through the fastening openings 87 and the fastening channels 89 associated with the second fastening position S2 in order to connect the housing 19 to the connecting element 83. The sequence of rotations for moving the connecting element 83 from the first connection position V1 to the second connection position V2 is interchangeable.

[0108] In the second fastening position S2, the fixing screws 101 are accessible in the insertion rotation position E of the insert part 21 through the aligned longitudinal slots 53 and 55 of the housing 19 and the insert part 21, in order to fix the fastening straps 93 in the fastening channels 95. To enable such access also in the first fastening position S1, the insert part 21 and the housing 19 further have engagement openings 103 arranged in alignment with each other in the locking rotation position A, through which a tool for actuating the fixing screws 101 can be guided (see Figure 1). Fig. 2D and 3B ).

[0109] Fig. 14 Figure 1 shows a housing 19 of a further embodiment of the bracket 11, which offers another possibility for fixing the housing 19 to the connecting element 83 in the first connection position V1 and the second connection position V2 of the connecting element 83. This housing 19 has only two mounting channels 89 or a pair of mounting channels 89, which are oriented in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the bracket 11, offset by 45° to the insertion direction R along which the leg 25 can be inserted into the receiving space 23. As shown, for example, in Fig. 13 As can be seen, the fastening channels 89 are located in the Fig. 14 The housing 19 shown is aligned at 45° towards the frame 85 of the two-wheeler, to which the bracket 11 is to be attached.

[0110] The Fig. 15A bis 15C illustrate that such a design of the housing 19 also allows the bracket 11 to be used as a vertical support or as a side support, by selectively attaching the connecting element 83 to the frame 85 in either the first connecting position V1 or the second connecting position V2. How Fig. 15B As shown, the connecting element 83 of this further embodiment has two mounting openings 87 corresponding to the mounting channels 89, which are oriented 45° offset from the insertion direction R in the first connecting position V1 and in the second connecting position V2, wherein the housing 19 can be fixed to the connecting element 83 by means of fastening means 91 guided through the mounting openings 87 and the mounting channels 89. Starting from the first connecting position V1, a rotation of 180° about the first adjustment axis J1 causes the mounting openings 87 to be offset by 90° about the second adjustment axis J2 (see Figure 1). Fig. 15A und 15B If the connecting element 83 is then rotated 90° about the second adjustment axis J2 into the second connection position V2, the fastening openings 87 are again arranged as in the first connection position V1, offset by 45° to the insertion direction R, and the housing 19 can be fixed to the connecting element 83 in the same orientation in both the first connection position V1 and the second connection position V2. The leg 25 can thus also be inserted into the receiving space 23 in the same way in both the first connection position V1 and the second connection position V2, and in particular along the insertion direction R.

[0111] The bracket 11 thus enables the associated U-lock 17 to be securely held with a simple rotation from the insertion position E to the locking position A, by clamping the leg 25, which can be inserted in the insertion position E, in the receiving space 23. Furthermore, the adapter 63 allows the bracket 11 to be flexibly adapted to various U-locks, in particular the associated U-lock 17 and the additional U-lock 17a, as well as their shackle 15 and 15a. A user can therefore conveniently use the bracket 11 for different U-locks 17 and 17a. In addition, a user can optionally use the bracket 11 as a vertical holder or as a side holder, so that the bracket 11 can be conveniently attached to the frame 85 depending on the preferred arrangement.
