INDOOR BIKE STAND WITH SIDE MOVEMENT DEGREES

Abstract

The present invention relates to an indoor stand with degrees of movement side gear for use with bicycles comprising two main components assembled in an integrated manner: 1) a rear roller and 2) a front stand that attaches to the fork, instead of the front wheel, in which springs or cushions below the front fork allow degree of lateral movement to the left and right, in which a main bar is coupled to the base by an axis that allows the lateral movement degrees with stability. The presence of these components makes the present invention well simulate the experience of pedaling outdoors and working on the user's shoulders, arms and abdomen.

Claims

1. A bicycle stand, comprising: a front support and a set of rollers that are integrally assembled by a main bar in which the front wheel of the bicycle is removed and the front fork of the bicycle is connected to a connecting arm of the support, wherein said support includes a locking fork support which is connected, at one end to a connection arm and stabilizers in the form of springs or cushions and, at the other end, to the set of rollers which includes a housing with two rollers that are connected with a common axis and can be spaced by means of a toothed support in a configuration in which the rear tire makes contact with the face of the rollers, in which the assembly mounted with the bicycle is free to move sideways.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] The equipment will now be described by way of example with reference to the following drawings in which:

[0011] FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of the indoor bicycle stand assembly according to the present invention.

[0012] FIG. 2 is a schematic partial front view of the stand assembly, showing a degree of movement of the bicycle to the left (FIG. 2A) and to the right (FIG. 2B).

[0013] FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the indoor bicycle stand assembly according to the present invention with emphasis on the rear rollers.

[0014] FIG. 4 is a schematic perspective view of the assembly for fitting the front fork of a bicycle, with emphasis on the support with lock comprising springs or cushions.

[0015] FIG. 5 is a schematic rear view of the assembly for fitting the front fork of a bicycle, with emphasis on the springs or cushions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0016] The equipment (100) shown schematically in FIG. 1 includes the following main components, namely, a bicycle (102), a front support (104) and a set of rollers (106), in which the front support and set of rollers are firmly attached to a main bar (103).

[0017] The bicycle (102) includes all the normal components of a bicycle, except the front wheel that was removed from the front fork (108).

[0018] The bicycle (102) will therefore include all the normal components found on a bicycle, including a steering wheel attached to a bicycle frame, including a seat, pedals, a rear wheel (120) having a rear tire, a chain (124), engaging with a rear toothed assembly.

[0019] The support (104) includes a locking fork support (130) on which the front fork (108) of the bicycle (102) is mounted using the fork screw element (133).

[0020] The support with lock (130) is connected to a connection arm (134) and stabilizers in the form of springs or cushions (136).

[0021] The connecting arm is connected, at one end, to the stabilizers (136) and, at the other end, to the roller set (106).

[0022] The roller set (106) includes a structure that houses two rollers (152) that are connected with a common axis and can be spaced by means of a toothed support (156). The rear tire (122) contacts the face of the rollers.

[0023] In use, the user of the equipment (100) is able to use the bicycle (102) in conditions that simulate real life, the main bar, being coupled to the base by an axis, allows the lateral movement degrees.

[0024] The front wheel of the bicycle is removed and the front fork (108) of the bicycle (102) is connected to a flexible support arm that allows the bicycle to move side by side along the swing arch. It should be noted that the rear tire, mounted on the rear wheel (120), is free to move side by side due to the fact that the only point of contact is on the face of the rollers.

[0025] Therefore, as the user rides a bicycle (102), it is free to move from side to side, in which the degree of freedom of movement depends on the flexibility of the connecting arm and is stabilized by the main bar (103).

[0026] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and adaptations of this structure described above are possible without departing from the spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the attached claim.
