[0009] Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die in den Ansprüchen angegebenen technical solutions, wherein the dependent claims not only represent advantageous further developments of the subordinate claims, but are also independent solutions to the problem. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025

[0010] Ein Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft die Weiterbildung einer Hubeinrich-The lifting device includes a support rod that allows the bicycle to be moved vertically along the column. To enable the lifting of not only lightweight bicycles but also electrically powered bicycles, the device incorporates a flexible pulling element attached to the carriage on one side and to a pulling mechanism on the other. The pulling mechanism interacts with the pulling element in such a way that a pull is exerted on the pulling element, which raises the end attached to the carriage. The pulling mechanism can include a winding body to which one end of the pulling element is attached. Preferably, one end of the pulling element is attached to a winding body of a crank mechanism. The pulling element is guided by a deflection pulley located in the area of ​​the column's head. The crank mechanism can be operated by, for example, an electric motor or a hand-crank motor.Preferably, the crank mechanism has a hand crank, which is preferably connected to the winding body by means of a reduction gear. One end of the tensioning element can be attached to the winding body, so that the tensioning element can be wound onto the winding body by turning the crank mechanism, for example, using the hand crank. Another end of the tensioning element can form a mounting end that is attached to the carriage. The carriage can thus be moved vertically by rotating the winding body.

[0011] Das Kurbelgetriebe kann außen an der Säule befestigt sein. Es ist aberIt is also possible to arrange the crank mechanism inside the column. The winding on which the tension element is wound can have an axis of rotation parallel to the axis of rotation of the guide pulley. However, the axis of rotation of the winding can also be offset from the axis of rotation of the guide pulley, in particular perpendicular to it; the belt can then run inside the column and be twisted there by 90°. It is also possible for the tension element to be a rope wound onto the winding body. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025 The crank axis can run either parallel to the axis of rotation of the deflection pulley or perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the deflection pulley.

[0012] Es kann ein Klinkengesperre vorgesehen sein, das in einer SperrstellungThe ratchet mechanism allows the hand crank to be turned in only one direction, for example, upwards, and prevents it from turning in the opposite direction. The ratchet mechanism can have a first pawl for this purpose. Alternatively, it can have a second pawl which, in a locked position, only allows the hand crank to be turned to lower the bicycle. Both pawls can be formed from a common pawl carrier.

[0013] Anstelle eines Klinkengesperres kann aber auch ein selbsttätig sperren- The crank mechanism is used in which a torque applied to the winding, for example by a pull element, only leads to rotation of the winding if the crank is simultaneously turned in the corresponding direction. The locking mechanism can be a friction-locking or a positive-locking mechanism.

[0014] In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Säule vonThe column is formed from one or more profile bodies. A fitting, which includes the deflection pulley, can be attached to the head of the profile body. The tensioning element can be a rope or a chain. Preferably, however, the tensioning element is a band, in particular a textile band, the width of which corresponds essentially to the width of the column or is slightly narrower than the width of the column. The column can also have a different polygonal cross-section or a round cross-section. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025

[0015] Der Schlitten kann von einem U-förmigen Blech (einem zu einer U-The carriage may be formed from a U-shaped piece of bent sheet metal, which has a web to which the pulling element is attached. Two legs of the sheet metal, projecting at right angles from the web, can be guided on two opposing side faces of the column, which has a square or rectangular cross-section. The pulling device can be attached to the back of the column. The carriage can thus be moved past the pulling device during its vertical movement. The attachment end of the pulling element can form a loop through which a retaining pin engages, extending over the full width of the U-shaped web and attached to extensions of the U-shaped legs. The carriage may also have the features described below.The slide can also be formed from a single sheet metal extending only in one plane, which is mounted vertically displaceable on a suitable roller guide only on one broad side surface of a column, in particular forming a polygonal profile.

[0016] Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft eine Weiterbildung des inThe slide is vertically movable. As previously described, the slide can have a U-shaped sheet metal profile with two parallel legs. According to the invention, guide rollers are attached to the legs and guided in guide grooves on the outward-facing side surfaces of the column. The grooves can be undercut. The axes of rotation of the guide rollers can extend in the direction of the surface normals of the U-shaped legs of the sheet metal profile. The circumferential surfaces of the guide rollers can roll on the side walls of the guide grooves. An opening in the guide groove, through which a pivot axis of the guide roller projects, has an opening width that is smaller than the diameter of the guide roller, so that the guide roller is axially constrained in the guide groove with respect to its pivot axis. Each of the two legs of the U-shaped sheet metal profile preferably carries at least two guide rollers, so that the slide is rotationally fixed to the column. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025

[0017] Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft eine Fixierung des Schlittens in its various vertical positions. The invention provides at least one restraint element for this purpose, with which the carriage can be fixed against downward displacement. However, it is also possible to fix the carriage against upward displacement with this or another clamping element. The restraint element can also be a clamping screw, for example a screw with a handle, which can be brought into a clamping position by turning the clamping screw.

[0018] Besonders bevorzugt weist der Schlitten zwei Klemmelemente auf, wo-The clamping element allows the slide to be fixed against downward displacement along the column using one clamping element, and the other clamping element allows the slide to be fixed against upward displacement along the column. The clamping elements can interact with a broad face of the column. It is particularly advantageous if the slide guide is designed as described previously. The guide rollers, which are fixed in the guide grooves with respect to their axis of rotation, can transfer the clamping forces into the column. The clamping elements can form eccentric levers. Such an eccentric lever can be displaced about a bearing axis from a clamping position to a release position. The bearing axis can run vertically. The eccentric lever can have an eccentric surface that rests against a broad face of the column in the clamping position.The eccentric lever can have an actuating arm that pivots by 90° or more to move the clamping element from the clamping position to the release position. One of the eccentric levers can be pivoted upwards to move it to the release position. Another eccentric lever can be pivoted downwards to move it to the release position. The eccentric lever is preferably stiff to pivot so that it remains in its release position after being moved. Each of the two U-shaped legs of the slide can carry an eccentric lever. For this purpose, 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025 The sheet metal has bearing lugs to which the pivot axis of the eccentric lever is attached. The bearing lugs can be areas cut out of the sheet metal and angled from the plane of the sheet metal. The eccentric surface can extend along a spiral curve around the bearing axis. An actuating arm can project radially from the bearing axis. However, the eccentric lever can also be freely pivotable. This is particularly advantageous for safety reasons. The eccentric lever is then preferably mounted such that it is automatically brought into a clamping position by gravity. It must then be deliberately moved into the release position by the operator and held in this release position when the carriage is moved. Thus, two-handed operation is required. In this variant, a clamping surface of the eccentric lever preferably comes into contact with a corresponding counter surface of the column automatically.

[0019] Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft eine Weiterbildung des Trag-A crossbeam is attached to the carriage by a connecting element. The connecting element has a first bearing body, which is fixedly attached to the carriage, and a second bearing body, which is fixedly attached to the crossbeam. The crossbeam can be a square tube, a polygonal tube, or a round tube. The second bearing body can be fixedly or slidably connected to the crossbeam approximately at its midpoint. Preferably, the bearing body is fixedly connected to the crossbeam. The two bearing bodies can be rotated relative to each other about an axis extending in the vertical direction, so that the crossbeam can assume various angular positions with respect to a horizontal plane. According to the invention, it is provided that positive locking elements, which connect the two bearing bodies together in a fixed position, are rotatably connected to each other, can be moved into a release position in which the two bearing bodies can be rotated relative to each other.Instead of positive locking elements, friction locking elements can also be used. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025 can be used. It can be provided that the two bearing bodies have toothed connections that interlock in the locked position. To move the bearing bodies into the unlocked position, the bearing bodies can be axially displaced relative to each other with respect to the vertical axis. In the locked position, preferably a toothed connection of a first bearing body engages positively with a mating toothed connection of a second bearing body. By displacing the bearing bodies in an axial direction with respect to the vertical axis of rotation, the positive locking connection can be brought into a unlocked position in which the mating toothed connection has disengaged from the toothed connection.

[0020] Bei einer kraftschlüssigen Fixierung in der Fesselungsstellung, kann einA fixing element that can be moved from a restraint position to a release position is provided, with which the rotation of the two bearing bodies is blocked by force in the restraint position and is possible in the release position.

[0021] Es kann ein Fixierelement vorgesehen sein, mit dem die beiden Lager-The bearing bodies are fixed in the positive-locking connection. This fixing element can have a tension element that extends through one of the bearing bodies, in particular the bearing body attached to the crossbeam. One of the bearing bodies can have a bearing journal that is inserted into a bearing bushing of the other bearing body. The bottom of the bearing bushing can have serrations. The end face of the other bearing journal can have mating serrations. A buttress can be present in the area of ​​the bottom of the bearing bushing, to which the tension element is attached. The tension element can extend through the entire second bearing body and be attached to a clamping element. The clamping element can be moved from a release position to a clamping position. In the release position, the positive lock can be released. This can be done with the assistance of a spring element, which can form a compression spring that clamps the two bearing bodies. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025 The clamping element is actuated in the direction of the release position. It can be an eccentric lever with an eccentric surface that rests against an outer surface of the crossbeam. For details regarding the design of the eccentric lever, please refer to the explanations above.

[0022] Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft eine Weiterbildung einesA stand allows the column to be erected on a mounting surface. A sliding mechanism on the column, to which three or more support legs are attached, can be moved vertically. By vertically moving the sliding mechanism, the support legs can be moved from a storage position, in which they extend parallel to the column and rest against it, to an operating position, in which they are spread apart from the column. The ends of the support legs form feet that rest on the mounting surface. Linkages are provided, each hinged approximately at the midpoint of a support leg and at the lower end of a column foot. In the operating position, the column foot can rest on the mounting surface. The sliding mechanism can be fixed in various vertical positions using a fastening device.According to the invention, the clamping device has two restraint elements, in particular clamping elements, each of which interacts with one of two diverging side surfaces of the column. The restraint position can then be a clamping position. The clamping elements can each have an arm, with the arms projecting downwards parallel to each other in the clamping position and extending horizontally in a release position. The arms of the clamping elements thus form handles that can be gripped to move the slide vertically upwards. According to a preferred embodiment, the clamping elements are eccentric levers. They have an eccentric surface that interacts with a broad side surface of the column, as described above. The eccentric surface then rests against the broad side surface in a frictional engagement. In the release position, the arms can 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025 The eccentric lever strikes against stops that hold the arms of the eccentric lever in a horizontal position. In this horizontal position, the arms extend in opposite directions from the slider.

[0023] Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft eine Weiterbildung von Hal-The system includes mounting points for attaching a bicycle to a crossbar. The crossbar has numerous locking slots for this purpose. One or two brackets are provided, each featuring a locking lever that pivots around a pivot axis. The locking lever can be a two-armed lever, comprising an actuating arm and a locking arm. The locking arm carries a locking pin that engages in one of the locking slots when in a locked position. Consequently, at least one bracket can be moved along the crossbar and positively locked to it in various positions. The actuating arm can be actuated by a spring element, causing the locking pin to engage in the locking slot under spring force. The bracket interacting with the locking slots may have a base plate that rests against an outer surface of the crossbar.The base plate can be part of a sleeve with a rectangular cross-section that encloses the crossbar, which also has a rectangular cross-section. The base plate can have an opening through which the locking pin passes. On the opposite side of the locking pin, fastening means can be arranged for securing the bicycle. One of these fastening means can have clamping jaws. The other fastening means can have a support element, for example, a support rod or a cubic support element. Both fastening means of the brackets can have receiving bushings for receiving a shaft with a circular cross-section, for example, a bearing journal for the rotary bearing of the clamping jaws or the support rod. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025.

[0024] Das Stützelement kann wenigstens eine Befestigungsöffnung, vorzugs- have exactly two fastening openings for inserting and / or fixing a particularly flexible fastening element.

[0025] Die Erfindung betrifft darüber hinaus ein Fußstück, mit dem eine Säule a device for holding objects and in particular a device such as has been described above, which can be placed on a surface.

[0026] Die Vorrichtung weist ein Fußstück auf, mit dem ein Fuß der Säule ver-The base is bound. The base piece can have a shaft into which the lower end of the column formed by a profile body can be inserted. The shaft can have a base against which a lower end face of the column can rest. The base piece can be made of plastic or another material, for example, a metal, and in particular, a die-cast metal, preferably die-cast aluminum, and has a vertically upward-facing top surface. The base piece can also have a side wall extending substantially in a vertical direction. Preferably, the base piece has at least three or four side walls arranged around the column at uniform angles. According to the invention, the column has support openings into which one end of a support leg can be inserted. The other end of the support leg, opposite this end, can rest on the base. For this purpose, it forms a foot.It may be provided that the support opening is located in one side wall. The base may also have a parking opening for each of the three or four, or possibly five or more, support legs. The end of the support leg opposite the base can be inserted into each parking opening. The parking opening can be 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025. The device can be used when it is not in a storage position to hold an object, particularly a bicycle. The parking openings are arranged, and especially on the top, such that the support legs, with their ends inserted into each parking opening, extend parallel to the column. To ensure that the device occupies as little space as possible in the storage position, the parking openings are located in the immediate vicinity of the column and are a short distance from it.

[0027] Die Tragöffnungen, in denen die Enden der Standbeine in einer Ge-In the operating position of the device, the legs may have an upper opening edge against which a portion of the leg, furthest from the end and pointing vertically upwards, rests. Inside the base, at the end of a shaft into which the leg can be inserted and which adjoins the support opening, a bearing surface may be arranged. A downward-facing surface of the leg, adjacent to the end, can rest on this bearing surface. This bearing surface may be located vertically below the parking opening. It may form the bottom of a shaft whose opening is formed by the parking opening. This results in an essentially L-shaped cavity, with a horizontal section of the cavity serving as a receiving chamber for the end of the leg in the operating position and a vertical section serving as a receiving chamber for the end of the leg in the parking position.

[0028] Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass das Standbein in der Gebrauchsstellungis attached to the footpiece by means of a locking connection. For this purpose, the support leg, and in particular the end of the support leg inserted into the footpiece, can have a projection, for example a locking projection, which, in a fully inserted position of the support leg, engages in the support opening in a 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025 A recess, for example a locking recess, is located inside the base. It can be provided that the extension is formed by a pin that crosses the support leg, preferably formed by a tube, for example a square tube. The pin can have two outwardly pointing end sections, each of which forms a projection. The recess in which the projection sits can be formed by an upwardly open trough. The support leg can be inserted into the support opening in one direction. The recess can be located behind a step in the insertion direction, the step having an inclined surface along which the projection can slide to enter the recess after overcoming the step.

[0029] Die Vertiefung ist bevorzugt derart angeordnet, dass der Fortsatz oder The two extensions should preferably be able to lie in the recess even in the parked position. The recess can be located laterally next to the support surface.

[0030] Der horizontale Versatz zwischen dem Öffnungsrand der Tragöffnung,The arrangement of the legs, which rest against the support surface, results in a lever-efficient configuration. Preferably, the legs project obliquely downwards in the operating position, so that the underside of the foot hovers above the support surface at a distance.

[0031] In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist zudem vorgesehen, dass das The base has screw holes through which screws can pass, allowing the base to be screwed directly to the mounting surface in an alternative use to the legs. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025

[0032] Die Erfindung betrifft darüber hinaus ein Fußstück, mit dem eine Säule a device for holding objects and in particular a device such as has been described above, which can be placed on a surface.

[0033] Die Vorrichtung weist ein Fußstück auf, mit dem ein Fuß der Säule ver-The base is bound. The base piece can have a shaft into which the lower end of the column formed by a profile body can be inserted. The shaft can have a base against which a lower end face of the column can rest. The base piece can be made of plastic or another material, for example, a metal, and in particular a die-cast metal, preferably die-cast aluminum, and has a vertically upward-facing top surface. The base piece can also have a side wall extending substantially in a vertical direction. Preferably, the base piece has at least three or four side walls arranged around the column at uniform angles. According to the invention, the column has support openings into which one end of a support leg can be inserted. The other end of the support leg, opposite this end, can rest on the base. For this purpose, it forms a foot.The support opening may be located in a side wall. The support leg may be inserted into the support opening during assembly of the device. Securing the support leg against being pulled out of the support opening may cause the foot to lift off the mounting surface. This can be achieved with a locking element that clamps the end of the support leg inserted into the support opening against a locking surface angled to the mounting surface, such that the support leg forms an acute angle with the mounting surface, thus lifting the foot off the mounting surface. The locking element may, in particular, be designed as an eccentric lever. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025.

[0034] Auf diese Weise kann sichergestellt werden, dass alle Standbeine bzw.The feet are in contact with the mounting surface, which reduces or prevents wobbling of the device during use. This ensures particularly secure placement of the device on the mounting surface, effectively preventing it from tipping over, or at least significantly reducing the risk of tipping.

[0035] Bevorzugt ist das Tragbein lastfrei in die Tragöffnung einführbar. Unter The term "load-free" in this context means that when the support leg is inserted into the support opening, no significant mechanical contact forces occur between the outer surfaces of the support leg and the inner wall of the support opening. Insertion therefore takes place without friction or positive locking, in particular without clamping, tension, or elastic deformation of the two components. Brief description of the drawings

Furthermore, a pawl lock is provided with which the rotation of the winding body 63 can be blocked. However, a friction lock can also be provided instead of a pawl lock. Preferably, the crank mechanism 6 has an automatic braking system designed such that the winding body 63 can only be rotated when the hand crank is turned in the corresponding direction. The lock can have two pawls, so that the rotation of the winding body 63 can be selectively blocked in one direction or the other. By turning the hand crank 62 in one direction, the carriage 2 can be moved vertically upwards. By turning the hand crank in the other direction, the carriage 2 can be lowered vertically. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025

The diameter of the guide rollers 50 is larger than the opening width of the guide grooves 49, so that the guide rollers 50 cannot be removed laterally from the opening of the guide groove 49. The guide rollers 50 can only be inserted through the open ends of the guide grooves 49. The guide rollers 50 are rotatable about axes that project from the opening of the guide groove 59 and by which the guide rollers 50 are attached to the two opposing inner surfaces of the legs 42'.

[0043] Die Schenkel 42’ bilden Lagerlaschen 43 aus, die eine Lagerachse 45 la-Gladly. The bearing axis 45 in turn supports an eccentric lever 44, 44'. Each of the two legs 42' supports an eccentric lever 44, 44'. The eccentric lever 44, 44' forms an eccentric surface 47 which, in a clamping position, engages frictionally with a side surface 48 of the column 1. The clamping forces are transferred to the column 1 via the guide rollers 50 and their axes. The eccentric surfaces 47 each pass through an opening 46 of the leg 42'.

[0044] Als Alternative zu den Klemmhebeln 44, 44’ kann aber auch eine A clamping screw, for example a handle screw or several such clamping screws, can be used. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025

The arm of the eccentric lever 44 points upwards in the clamping position and must be pivoted downwards into the release position. The eccentric lever 44 is mounted with stiff rotation. However, the eccentric lever 44, or both eccentric levers 44, 44', can also be mounted with free rotation, so that their clamping surface is permanently in contact with a counter surface of the column. The eccentric lever 44' secures the slide 2 against upward displacement. The arm of the eccentric lever 44 points downwards in the clamping position and must be pivoted upwards into the release position. The eccentric lever 44' is mounted with stiff rotation. The eccentric levers 44, 44' remain automatically in the release position.

The end face of the bearing journal 14 forms a mating toothing 16 corresponding to the toothing 15. The toothing 15 and the mating toothing 16 form positive locking means with which the rotation of the bearing body 12 relative to the bearing body 11 can be blocked in a restrained position. The two bearing bodies 11, 12 can be moved into a release position by axial displacement, in which the mating toothing 16 disengages from the toothing 15. Temporary clamping can also be achieved with a clamping device 21, which can reduce the clear cross-section of the bearing bushing 13 or reduce the circumferential length of the bearing bushing 13.

[0051] Anstelle der Verzahnung 15, die mit einer Gegenverzahnung 16 zusam-In addition to frictional locking elements, friction-fit elements can also be provided to fix the bearing journal 14 in the bearing bushing 13; for example, the bearing bushing 13 can have a conical shape and the bearing journal 14 a corresponding counter-conical shape. Here, too, the bearing journal 14 can be acted upon by a spring element in the release direction.

[0052] Am Boden der Lagerbuchse 13 befindet sich ein Widerlager 19 eines Tension element 17. The tension element 17 can be a rod, for example made of metal. The tension element 17 extends through an axial cavity of the second bearing body 20 and passes through the crossbeam 22. A clamping element 18 is attached to a free end of the tension element 17. In the embodiment shown, the clamping element 18 is an eccentric lever with an eccentric surface and 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025 an actuating arm, wherein the eccentric surface is supported on a broad side surface of the traverse 22. In a clamping position of the clamping element 18, the mating toothing 16 engages with the toothing 15.

[0053] Am Boden der Lagerhöhlung 13 stützt sich ein Federelement 20 ab, dasThe end face or base of the bearing journal 14 is acted upon in the direction of the release position. By releasing the clamping element 18, the spring element 20 formed by a compression spring can move the second bearing body 12 axially into the release position or assist the movement into the release position.

[0054] In der in Fig. 23 und Fig. 24 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist anstelle der The toothing 15, which interacts with a mating toothing 16, provides a force-fit fixing of the bearing journal 14 in the bearing bushing 13. The bearing journal 14 can be connected to the second bearing body 12 in a rotationally and axially fixed manner.

[0055] Die Lagerbuchse 13 kann axialfest mit dem Lagerzapfen 14 verbundenFor this purpose, the end face of the bearing bushing 13 associated with the bearing journal 14 can have a threaded bore 88. An axially fixed connection between the bearing bushing 13 and the bearing journal 14 can be formed via the threaded bore 88 by means of a screw 89. The bearing bushing 13 can have two clamping sections 13'. The bearing journal 14 is preferably guided between the two clamping sections 13' and / or extends between the two clamping sections 13'. By means of a fixing element 13'', the two clamping sections 13' can be clamped against each other such that the bearing journal 14 is rotationally fixed in the bearing bushing 13. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025

Detent projections 27 of brackets 25 can engage in the detent openings 30 to fix the brackets 25 in positions at a distance from the connecting element 10. The brackets 25 can be moved along the crossbeam 22 when the detent projections 27 are in a released position. The brackets 25 each form a shaft through which the crossbeam 22 extends. A base plate 28 forms one wall of the shaft, to which a detent element 26 in the form of a detent lever is attached. The detent lever 26 is pivotable about a pivot bearing 26'. The detent lever 26 has a detent arm 26'' to which a detent pin forming the detent projection 27 is attached. Derandere Arm 26''' is an actuating arm which may be actuated by a spring element not shown, for example a compression spring, so that the detent pin 27 engages in the detent opening 30 under spring force.The base plate 28 has an opening 29 through which the locking pin 27 passes.

[0058] Eine der beiden Halterungen 25 bildet ein Befestigungselement 31 mit A bearing bushing 32 is provided, in which a bearing journal of another fastening element 23 is inserted. This fastening element 23 is rotatable about a vertical axis relative to the fastening element 31, and the rotational position can be fixed by means of a clamping device 34. The clamping device 34 can be used to reduce the circumferential length of the bearing bushing 32 in order to clamp the bearing journal in the bearing bushing 32.

[0059] Das Befestigungselement 23 besitzt zwei aufeinander zu verlagerbare Clamping jaws 35, 36, each of which is angled to allow for clamping between 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025 to be able to clamp a bicycle frame tube or a seat post. The clamping jaw 36 is located at the end of a clamping lever 37, which can be pivoted relative to the clamping jaw 35 about a pivot axis. A clamping force can be applied to the clamping lever 37 by means of a clamping element, for example an eccentric lever 38, and a tensioning element 39. The tensioning element 39 can have a thread that engages in a mating thread. The eccentric lever 38 can be located at one end of the tensioning element 39. By rotating the eccentric lever 38, the clamping lever 37 can be pivoted. However, a clamping screw with a handle can also be used instead of the eccentric lever 38.

[0060] Die andere der beiden Halterungen 25 bildet ein Befestigungsele-ment 40, which has a socket 41 in which a support element 24 is inserted. The support element 24 can be a vertically extending support rod 24' that can support a section of a frame, particularly in the area of ​​the bicycle's fork. In Fig. 1 and Fig. 4, the support element 24 is designed as a support rod 24'. The surface of the support rod 24' can be made of a soft plastic. The two clamping jaws 35, 36 can also be made of a similar material to prevent damage to the bicycle's frame.

[0061] Das Stützelement 24 weist bevorzugt zwei Befestigungsöffnungen 86 for guiding and / or fixing a fastening device, especially a flexible one. The fastening device may be a strap, rope, chain, carabiner, or the like.

The mounting element 87 can be an integral part of the support rod 24' and / or be axially fixed and / or rotationally fixed to it with respect to the longitudinal extent of the support rod 24'.

[0064] Die Befestigungsöffnungen 86 sind bevorzugt radial beabstandet zur The support rod 24' is arranged. In particular, the fastening openings 86 are aligned parallel to the support rod. Alternatively, the fastening openings 86 can also be arranged transversely and / or obliquely to the longitudinal extent of the support rod 24'. However, it is also possible that the fastening openings 86 are formed within the support rod 24'. In this case, the fastening opening 86 can extend completely through the support rod 24' transversely to the longitudinal axis of the support rod 24'.

[0065] In der in Fig. 26 gezeigten Ausführungsform weist das Stützelement 24The support element 24 has at least an essentially cubic shape. Preferably, the support element 24 is at least essentially plate-like and has two opposing broad sides 24'', two opposing narrow sides, and two end faces. The fastening openings 86 preferably extend from one broad side 24'' to the other broad side 24''.

The second ends of the handlebars 55 are connected at a pivot point 57 to a support leg 56. The support leg 56 has a first end that is pivotally connected to a slide 59. The second end of the support leg 56 carries a foot 58, with which the stand 7 formed by the support legs 56 can be erected on a mounting surface 8.

[0069] Der Schieber 59 besitzt zwei an voneinander wegweisenden Breitsei-The clamping or tensioning elements 60 engage the column 1 at points 51, 52. In this embodiment, the clamping or tensioning elements 60 are designed as eccentric levers. In a clamping position, an eccentric surface of the eccentric lever 60 frictionally engages the broad side 51, 52. In this clamping position, arms 60' of the clamping elements 60 project downwards. By pivoting the arms 60' upwards, the clamping elements 60 are brought into a release position. In the release position, arms 60' of the clamping or tensioning elements 60 project approximately horizontally transversely from the column 1, so that these arms 60' can be used as handles to move the slide 59 vertically upwards. For this purpose, the slide 59 forms a stop 64 against which the arm 60' can rest in the horizontal position. In a clamping position of the clamping elements 60, the arms 60' lie in a vertical downward direction.

[0070] Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, dass die Spannelemente 60 in der Löse-The clamping elements 60 are positioned and / or in the horizontal position against the stops 64 in such a way that lifting the clamping elements 60 along the column 1 causes the sliding element 59 to lift. As shown in Fig. 2, the arm 60' of the clamping element 60 can be brought into contact with the stop 64 when moving from the clamped position to the released position. Subsequent lifting of the clamping element 60 can thus cause the sliding element 59 to lift. The clamping element 60 is then designed as a multifunctional part which, in addition to the function of securing and / or fixing the sliding element 59 to the column 1, also fulfills the function of handles for lifting the sliding element 59.

[0071] In einer Variante ist nur ein Fesselungs- oder Spannelement 60 vorgese- a lever designed as an eccentric lever. Alternatively, a clamping screw, for example with a clamping handle, can be used.

The device can then be placed on the feet 58, with the foot 1'' also being supported on a mounting surface 8. The clamping elements 60 can then be moved from their release position to a clamped position. Alternatively, the slide 59 can be fixed to column 1 at a distance from the lower end of column 1 using the clamping elements 60, so that in the operating position, column 1 is supported only by the feet 58 of the support legs 56.

[0074] Mittels des Kurbelgetriebes 6 wird das Traggestänge 3 in eine Vertikal-The frame is brought into a position in which the clamping jaws 35, 36 can be attached to the frame tube. For this purpose, the clamping device 34 and the clamping device 21 are loosened. The clamping element 18 is also moved into a loose position so that the crossbar 22 can be rotated relative to the column and the fastening element 23 can be rotated relative to the crossbar 22. The support rod 24 is slid under the frame of the bicycle in the area of ​​the fork, so that the bicycle is secured to the support frame 3 at two points. The brackets 25 can be moved relative to the crossbar 22 by releasing the locking projection 27 so that the center of gravity of the bicycle lies approximately vertically below the connecting element 10. The swivel of the handlebars is blocked by suitable means.

Subsequently, the carriage 2 is moved vertically upwards using the crank mechanism 6 until the bicycle reaches a suitable mounting height. If necessary, the bicycle can be rotated about a vertical axis by loosening the clamping element 18. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025

[0076] Die Verlagerung des Schlittens 2 erfolgt mit in Lösestellung gebrachten Clamping elements 44, 44'. After reaching the mounting height, the clamping elements 44, 44' are brought into a clamping position.

Then, after loosening the clamping elements 44, 44', the carriage 22 is lowered by actuating the crank mechanism 6 until the bicycle wheels touch the support surface 8. After releasing the means (not shown) for fixing the handlebars and the clamping jaws 35, 36, the bicycle can be detached from the device.

[0079] Die Figuren 9 bis 17 zeigen ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfin- dung, which differs from the first embodiment in the design and function of the support legs 56.

[0080] Das untere Ende der Säule 1 steckt in einem zu einer oberen Seite 79 des Footing 65, open shaft 75, which has a bottom against which a lower end face of column 1 is supported. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025

[0081] Der Grundriss des Fußstücks 65 ist im Wesentlichen quadratisch, kannbut can also be rectangular or round, with flattened sections in the corner areas. Side walls 77 are assigned to these flattened sections. Each side wall 77 contains a support opening 67. The support opening 67 has a substantially rectangular plan, adapted to a rectangular cross-section of a support leg 56. The support leg 56 is a square tube. Two lateral edges of the support opening 67 have extensions 68 through which projections or extensions 70, arranged at one end 56' of the support leg 56, can pass. The two extensions 70 are formed by the ends of a pin that crosses the end 56' of the support leg 56.

[0082] An die Tragöffnung 67 schließt sich ein Schacht an, in den das Ende 56’can be inserted. This is done in an insertion direction E. The end of this shaft is formed by a wall 80, which separates the shaft for inserting the support leg 56 from the shaft for inserting the column 1. Adjoining this wall is a substantially horizontal surface that points upwards and forms a bearing surface 73 against which a lower surface of the end 56' of the support leg 56 can rest. An upward-pointing surface section, spaced apart from this in the direction of the foot 58 of the support leg 56, can rest against the opening edge 67' of the support opening 67. In the insertion direction in front of the bearing surface 73, there is an inclined sliding flank 82 formed on the upper side of the shaft opposite the bearing surface 73, along which a front upper edge of the end 56' can slide when the support leg 56 is inserted into the shaft.

[0083] Die Auflagefläche 73 wird einerseits durch die Wand 80 und anderer-The area is bounded on the sides by two opposing walls 81, which run perpendicular to wall 80 and perpendicular to the support surface 73. The walls 81 each form a recess 69 into which the extensions 70 can enter in a detent position. The recess 69 is located in the insertion direction E behind a step 72, which is traversed by the extension 70 in the sequence of movements shown in Figures 14 to 17. For this purpose, the extension 70 first engages a ramp 71 located upstream of the step 72, which guides the extension 70 upwards. Once the extension 70 has traversed the step 72, it can enter the recess 69 formed by an upwardly open trough. When step 72 is crossed, the supporting leg 56 slides along the sliding flank 82.The recess 69 and the extension 70 form a locking connection with which the support leg 56 is secured against being pulled out in the opposite direction of insertion E in the shaft adjoining the support opening 67.

[0084] Vertikal oberhalb des inneren Endes des Schachtes, beim Ausführungs-For example, vertically above the support surface 73, there is a parking opening 66, which has an opening area adapted to the cross-section of the support leg 56. The parking opening 66 has an extension 66' through which the extensions 70 can pass when the ends 56' are inserted. Below these extensions 66' are the previously described recesses 69, into which the extensions 70 can enter. In a storage position, in which the support legs are located in the parking openings 66, the support legs 56 extend parallel to the column 1. A shaft adjoining the parking opening 66 is formed by the two previously described walls 80, 81. The bottom of this shaft is formed by the support surface 73. In the parking position, a surface of the support leg 56 facing the column 1 is spaced from the column 1 by the width of the wall 80. The distance can be less than 10 mm. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025

[0085] In der Gebrauchsstellung, die in der Figur 17 dargestellt ist, ragen dieIn the exemplary embodiment, four support legs 56 are angled downwards, so that the underside 74 of the foot piece 65 is spaced a distance d from the mounting surface 8 when the feet 58 of the support legs 56 are supported on the mounting surface 8.

Each support opening 67 has a substantially rectangular plan, adapted to a rectangular cross-section of a support leg 56. The support leg 56 is a square tube. In contrast to the embodiment shown in Figures 9 to 17, the support openings 67 preferably do not have any extensions 68 arranged on the lateral edge edges. Likewise, the support legs 56 do not have any projections or extensions 70.

[0088] An die Tragöffnung 67 schließt sich ein Schacht an, in den das Ende 56’can be inserted. In particular, it is provided that the support leg can be inserted into the support opening 67 and / or the shaft without any load (Fig. 21).

[0089] Unter dem Begriff „lastfrei" ist vorliegend zu verstehen, dass beim Ein- During the insertion of the support leg into the support opening, no significant mechanical contact forces occur between the outer surfaces of the support leg and the inner wall of the support opening and / or the shaft. Insertion is carried out according to 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025 thus without frictional or positive locking, in particular without clamping, tension or elastic deformation of the two components.

[0090] Vorzugsweise ist das Standbein 56, insbesondere das Ende 56‘ des The support leg can be inserted and / or plugged into the support opening 67. Insertion preferably occurs in the insertion direction E. In particular, the insertion direction E (Fig. 21) is arranged essentially parallel to the horizontal and / or to the mounting surface 8 in the operating state.

[0091] Wie Fig. 21 und Fig. 22 zeigen, kann das Ende des Schachtes von einerWall 80 is formed which separates the shaft for inserting the support leg 56 from the shaft for inserting the column 1. A fixing surface 83 extending towards the support opening 67 can be connected to this wall 80. In the operating state, the fixing surface 83 runs obliquely downwards from the wall 80 towards the support opening 67, in particular forming an acute angle with the horizontal and / or the mounting surface 8. A lower surface of the end 56' of the support leg 56 can be supported against the fixing surface 83.

[0092] Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann sich die Fixierfläche 83 ausgehend von The support opening 67 extends towards the wall 80 and / or the column 1. The fixing surface 83 can form an incline, with the incline increasing from the support opening 67 towards the column 1 to be erected and / or the center of the base 65. The term "center of the base" preferably refers to the center with respect to the extension of the base 65 along the installation surface 8 in the operating state.

Preferably, the fixing element 84 is designed to press an outer surface of the support leg 56 facing the mounting surface 8 in the operating state against the fixing surface 83 of the foot piece 65 in such a way that the support leg 56 is fixed to the foot piece 65 against being pulled out of the support opening 67, as shown in Fig. 22.

[0094] Durch die Fixierung des Standbeins 56 kommt es zur Anlage der Unter-The side or outer surface of the support leg 56 facing the mounting surface 8 is pressed against the fixing surface 83, as shown in the transition from Fig. 21 to Fig. 22. Initially, the foot 58 comes into contact with the mounting surface 8. Subsequently, the fixing of the support leg 56 causes the foot 65 to lift off the mounting surface 8. The device 1 then only makes contact with the mounting surface 8 via the feet 58. In this way, it can be ensured that the feet 58 are in contact with the mounting surface 8, thereby reducing or preventing wobbling of the device 1 during use. Thus, a particularly secure placement of the device 1 on the mounting surface 8 can be achieved, effectively preventing the device 1 from tipping over, or at least significantly reducing the risk of tipping over.

[0095] Das Fixierelement 84 ist vorzugsweise als Exzenterhebel 84‘ ausgebil-The eccentric lever 84' is preferably pivotably attached to the base 65. The eccentric lever 84' has an eccentric section 85. In a released position, the eccentric section 85 releases the shaft in such a way that the support leg 56 can be inserted into the support opening 67 and the shaft without load and / or removed from the support opening 67 and the shaft without load. 31303N2PCT – 07.08.2025

[0096] Nach dem Einführen des Standbeins 56 in die Tragöffnung 67 kann zur The eccentric lever 84' of the support leg 56 is moved from the released position shown in Fig. 21 to a fixed position shown in Fig. 22, in which the eccentric section 85 acts against the support leg 56, in particular an outer surface facing away from the support surface 8, such that the outer surface facing the support surface 8 rests against the fixing surface 83. The support leg 56 is thereby pressed against the fixing surface 83 of the foot piece 65 in such a way that the support leg 56 is fixed against being pulled out of the support opening 67.
