Bicycle frame with hooks for hanging helmets etc.

Abstract

To provide a bicycle frame that is safe when riding or getting on and off a bicycle and has hooks for hanging a helmet string or other wire keys. [Solution] One or more hooks 2, 3, etc. are integrated into the bicycle frame body 1 depending on the application, allowing for the safe storage of items such as helmet chin straps to be hung on the hooks. In addition, wire keys and other items will not hang down when hung on the wheel. In recent years, wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle has become a voluntary obligation, and people have increasingly started carrying helmets with them, but there has been an issue of not having a place to safely store used helmets and other items on the bicycle. Another issue has been that long wire keys tend to hang down when hung on the wheel. This device aims to solve these issues.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention is a device for installing hooks on bicycle frames in a safe location and with a safe shape, on which straps for helmets and other items can be hung. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0002] In recent years, wearing a bicycle helmet has become a voluntary obligation, and it has become common for people to carry a helmet with them when riding a bicycle. However, there is no place to safely store a helmet when parking the bicycle, and this solves this problem. It also prevents the helmet from hanging down when using a wire key to lock it by hanging it on the helmet string or bicycle tire. [Means for solving the problem]

[0003] This invention creates a hook on the bicycle frame that can be used to safely hang helmets and other items while the bicycle is parked. The hook is located in a place that will not affect riding or getting on or off the bicycle, and the corners are rounded to prevent injury when hanging the item, allowing for safe storage. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0004] [Figure 1] 1 is a side view showing an example of a frame on which a hook of the present invention is installed. [Figure 2] FIG. 10 is a side view showing an example of another type of frame on which the hooks of the present invention are installed. [Figure 3] A partially cutaway cross-sectional view of a round type hook. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0005] It is installed at the top of the frame so that it does not affect riding on or off the bicycle. Its location at the top also makes it easier to hang helmets and other items. It is integrated with the bicycle frame, making it strong and rust-resistant. The hook has rounded corners, as shown in the cross-section of the hook in Figure 3, to prevent injury to hands and other parts of the body when hanging it. Depending on the shape of the bicycle stand, users should be careful not to hang too heavy items on the hook, as this may cause the bicycle to tip over. Also, please note that the hook of this device is for storage when parking and should not be used while riding. [Example]

[0006] The hooks are installed on the top of the frame. The frame body and hooks are made of the same material and are integrated by welding, etc. The cross section of the hook is round or rectangular with rounded corners, and the size is small enough not to interfere with getting on and off the bicycle, and the width is also smaller than the diameter of the frame. The number of hooks to be installed will vary depending on the purpose of the bicycle and the shape of the frame, with the number, shape and location of the hooks being changed.

Claims

[Claim 1] Attach hooks to the bicycle frame (body) on which helmet straps and other wire keys can be hung. This allows helmets and other items to be safely hung when parking the bicycle. The hooks should be installed in a safe location and with a safe shape so that they are safe when riding or getting on and off the bicycle.
