A bicycle workstation that is removably suspended in a doorway when in use includes several elongate members that collectively provide at least three contact surfaces, and an additional elongate member that, in the illustrative embodiment, couples to a clamp suitable for clamping to a part of a bicycle. The contact surfaces are arranged such that the weight of the bicycle forces them against a wall, door frame, and moulding on both sides of the doorway, thereby securely suspending the bicycle workstation, and the bicycle clamped to it.

A clamping device for connecting a bicycle rack to a bicycle includes a first clamp, a second clamp and a bar. Two ends of the bar respectively extend through the first and second parts. The second clamp includes a first part and a second part. The second part includes a first engaging portion formed to the outside thereof. The first engaging portion includes a recess and multiple first teeth formed to the inner periphery of the recess. A block is partially engaged with the recess and connected to a connection end of one of the two ends of the bar that protrudes beyond the second part. The block includes a second engaging portion which is engaged with the recess and includes second teeth which are engaged with the first teeth so that the block is not freely rotated relative to the second clamp.

The invention was designed to provide a solid, level hang bar utilizing the bicycle's seat post, seat post tube or frame itself which is level adjustable on the bicycle. The rake or angle of the seat post and seat post tube varies and the Bicycle Leveler is adjustable to allow a safe and level carry on a vehicle. The Bicycle Leveler is installed on the bicycle for safe transport and the Level Hang Bar is uniquely removable without tools for safe riding of the bicycle. No other design mounts solidly to the bicycle nor does it have removable level bar feature. The design represents a new methodology for safety in bicycle transport on traditional hang racks.

An overhead storage device or system may include a mechanism for hoisting the object to be stored (e.g., a bicycle) at an elevated height (e.g., above grade or floor level). In general, the present teachings may include a cable pulley engaged with a constant torque spring unit structurally configured to apply an approximately constant torque to the cable spool that promotes rotation of a spool thereof for winding of a lift cable about the spool to lift a load. Also disclosed are techniques for improving such a constant toque lifting unit such as an inertial brake structurally configured to slow down or stop an undesired, accelerated winding of a lift cable, a self-coiling device structurally configured to advantageously wind the lift cable a predetermined amount (e.g., for removal of same as a hinderance), and an attachment mechanism structurally configured to securely couple to a load.

A vehicle combination which includes a perambulator and a trailer connected thereto, the trailer having a platform and casters which support the platform on the ground. The vehicle combination has two retaining devices for connection to a children's bicycle. The first retaining device is located on the trailer and is provided in order to fix a wheel of the children's bicycle. The second retaining device is located on the perambulator and is provided in order to fix the region of the children's bicycle which is located near the handle region of the perambulator if the children's bicycle is pivoted upwards about the axis of the wheel fixed on the retaining device on the trailer.

The present invention relates to a multi-purpose carrier for a vehicle which is configured to load a bicycle, skis, a snowboard, or other articles onto the vehicle and carry the bicycle, the skis, the snowboard, or the articles, the multi-purpose carrier including: a base support bar 10 disposed horizontally; one or two vertical supports 20; a horizontal support 30; an article mount 40; an angle fixing rod 50; an angle-fixing-rod support 55; two handle fixing rods 60; a bicycle frame fixing rod 70; clips 80; a stopper 90; and an article stand 92 which is structured to stop rotating by being caught by a horizontal rod of the stopper, in which a fixing strap is connected to the two clips 80 and other necessary portions, the fixing strap is fixed to the vehicle and securely tightened, a bicycle 100 is turned upside down, a bicycle frame 120 is fixed to the bicycle frame fixing rod 70, and two handles 110 of the bicycle are fixed to the two handle fixing rods 60, respectively, such that the bicycle is fixed to the vehicle, or the article is fixed to the article stand after the article stand 92 stands upright, such that the bicycle or the article may be carried by the vehicle.

A parking and charging station for electric vehicles, the parking and charging station has a small footprint and data transfer capability. The electric vehicles may include e-bikes and e-scooters, but other similar vehicles may also be supported. The parking and charging station may include a vertical automatic and motorized conveyor. The parking and charging station may include a standalone vertical post with one or more bars attached horizontally.

The present disclosure is directed to a bicycle parking structure comprising a plurality of bicycle hangers supported by a crossbar assembly. Each bicycle hanger is configured to support a bicycle in a substantially vertical position. The bicycle hangers are spaced apart from one another along the length of the crossbar assembly. Each of the bicycle hangers may be secured to the crossbar assembly so that the bicycle hanger is fixed at a desired position or unsecured from the crossbar assembly so that the position of the bicycle hanger along the length of the crossbar assembly may be adjusted. In this manner, the distance between adjacent bicycles need not be fixed and the bicycle parking structure can be adapted for a particular space. The bicycle parking structure is designed to provide for a space-efficient, high-volume parking of bicycles.
