IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO THE TRANSPORTATION OF BICYCLES
A protective case for a bicycle, which is an enclosed hollow rectangular cuboid including a top half; a lower half; wherein the top and lower halves releasably connect together to form the enclosed cuboid; and wherein each of the halves has: rigid outer wall sections for each surface of the cuboid so that the cuboid is fully enclosed; wherein at least the lower half has a stand attached thereto and the stand being adapted to connect to a bicycle frame of the bicycle and the case being adapted to support the bicycle when the stand is in, either: a non-extended position; and an extended position; wherein the stand is releasably attached to a mounting system; and the mounting system can hold the bicycle either in alignment or orthogonally to the longitudinal axis of the lower half.
Bicycle transport container
A bicycle transport container includes an outer container which is designed so as to be in particular cuboidal. A frame retaining element is arranged inside the outer container. The frame retaining element can be taken out of the outer container, together with the bicycle frame. Since the frame retaining element includes a bottom side that is designed as a base, the frame retaining element can stand autonomously, independently of the outer container, together with the bicycle frame.
Foldable bicycle and method of transporting a foldable bicycle
A foldable bicycle (100) having a riding configuration and a folded configuration includes a first wheel (102) and a second wheel (104) interconnected by a frame (106). At least the first wheel (102) has an open centre (108) and includes an annular rotor (110) engageable with the ground in the riding configuration of the bicycle (100) and an annular stator (114) carrying the annular rotor (110), and the frame (106) has a pivotal connection with the stator (114) of the first wheel (102) whereby the frame (106) is pivotable relative to the first wheel (102) for folding the bicycle (100). The frame (106) and the second wheel (104) connected thereto are together so dimensioned and arranged to fit within the open centre (108) of the first wheel (102) in the folded configuration of the bicycle (100).
Bicycle transport container and inside-leg measurement system
A bicycle transport container, particularly a bicycle transport box, includes an outer container. Within the outer container, a base element, is arranged. The base element serves for accommodating an at least partially pre-mounted bicycle. The base element includes a bottom element which is supported on a bottom portion of the outer container. The outer container includes an openable side portion so that the base element together with the bicycle can be laterally pulled out from the outer container.
Transport case for a folding bicycle
A transport case for a folding bicycle has a base with a first wall element connected along an edge. A connection device can be used to fix the first wall element to an element of the transport case to produce an interior of a first volume. Another connection device can be used to fix the first wall element to an element of the transport case to produce an interior of a second volume. The first volume is bigger than the second volume.
Transportation
A protective case for a bicycle which is an enclosed hollow rectangular cuboid including a top half; a lower half; wherein said top and lower halves releasably connect together to form the enclosed cuboid; and wherein each of said halves has: rigid outer wall sections for each surface of the cuboid so that the cuboid is fully enclosed; wherein at least the lower half has a stand attached thereto and said stand being adapted to connect to a bicycle frame of the bicycle and said case being adapted to support said bicycle when the stand is in, either: a non-extended position; and an extended position.
Bicycle Receptacle
A bicycle transport container including a wall element which is divided into two parts. The wall element has an upper part and a lower part. The upper part can be opened along a bending edge. Connected to the upper part are two side tabs which, when the upper part is closed, rest against inner sides of the side walls of the bicycle transport container.
BICYCLE PACKAGING SYSTEM
A packaging system for a bicycle includes a rear panel and a front panel that mates with the rear panel to form an enclosure. The front panel partially detaches from the rear panel to lay flat on a ground surface that supports the packaging system such that at least a portion of an interior side of the front panel forms a work surface that covers the ground surface. The packaging system also includes a rear insert positioned within the enclosure, wherein the rear insert includes a tire receptacle configured to receive a rear tire of the bicycle. The packaging system further includes a front insert positioned within the enclosure opposite of the rear insert, wherein the front insert includes a front fork mount attached thereto, and wherein the front fork mount is configured to secure front forks of the bicycle.
Bicycle Transport Container as Well as Rolling Element for a Bicycle Transport Container
Bicycle transport containers include a typically parallelepiped-shaped outer container. Retaining and/or receiving elements are provided inside the outer container for receiving bicycle elements such as bicycle frames, wheels and the like. In order to facilitate the transport of a bicycle transport container, the invention provides rolling elements on a bottom element of the outer container.
PACKAGE FOR PACKING A BICYCLE
A package for packing a bicycle is provided by the present invention. The package includes a base and a cover. The base has two positioning grooves, which are respectively formed at two opposite ends thereof. The base is enclosed by the cover such that a receiving space is formed by the base and the cover. Not only can the package of the present invention protect the bicycle during transportation process, the package can also serve as a bicycle stand, a display stand, or a workstation for installing or repairing the bicycle. As such, the package may provide additional and practical functions other than providing protection during transportation process.
