DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0083] FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a bicycle transport bag 10. The bicycle transport bag 10 has a bottom portion 12 and a side portion 14, which extends upwardly away from the bottom portion 12 and forms a case of the bicycle transport bag 10. A bicycle is protectively receivable within an interior space of the bicycle transport bag 10. The bicycle transport bag 10 has a closure device in the form of a zipper 16, by means of which the interior space can be unlocked and closed. Attached to the bottom portion 12 on a rear narrow side are a pair of rollers 18, the orientation of which is fixed relative to the bottom portion 12. This allows the bicycle transport bag 10 to be pulled across the ground. For this purpose, and generally for handling the bicycle transport bag 10, the bicycle transport bag 10 has a lower handle 20 on each of the front and rear narrow sides thereof. In addition, lateral upper handles 22 are arranged at the front and rear of each side. Laterally, in a central region, a central lateral handle 24 is also arranged on each side.

[0084] The side portion 14 has two sections, each of which is formed by a textile element 28, 30. A first textile element 28 is connected to the bottom side of the base portion 12 on the left side and is also referred to as the left textile element 28. A second textile element 30 is connected to the bottom portion 12 on the right side and is also referred to as the right textile element 30. In the closed state of the bicycle transport bag 10, the two textile elements 28, 30 and thus the two sections of the side portion 14 are connected to each other by the zipper 16. This state is shown, for example, in FIGS. 1 to 4. The zipper runs in such a way that the two textile elements 28, 30 are tensioned against each other and that the side portion 14 is self-supporting. The side portion 14 can therefore stand upright without a frame and without a bicycle in the interior. By opening the zipper 16, the two textile elements 28, 30 are separated from each other. The bicycle transport bag 10 can thus be unfolded, whereby it is in the open state and can be loaded. The two textile elements 28, 30 can thus be unfolded or can simply fall to the side. On the inside, the two textile elements 28, 30 may have padding, for example formed by foam.

[0085] At least two rigid plates are arranged in each of the two textile elements 28, 30, which are, for example, fixed by seams. The rigid plates stiffen the side portion 14 and thus provide additional protection for the bicycle accommodated therein. Each pair of adjacent rigid plates on one side of the side member 14, presently in each of the two textile elements 28, 30, are connected to each other by means of a hinge. The hinges extend longitudinally of the bicycle transport bag 10, that is, from the rear narrow side to the front narrow side. Presently, the hinge is formed by the respective textile element 28, 30 itself, which is flexibly in a gap between adjacent rigid panels, thus forming a film hinge. In an embodiment, the hinges are externally concealed. For example, respective hinges may only be visible to a user when the respective textile elements 28, 30 are folded. Thus, the respective hinge may be robust and inexpensive to manufacture. In FIG. 6, FIG. 9 and FIG. 20, a respective hinge in one of the textile elements 28, 30 is indicated by the reference sign S. However, the hinges can also be identifiable, for example due to a seam or a marking. This can make folding easier for the user.

[0086] The respective hinges allow the two textile elements 28, 30 to be folded together. Such a folding is illustrated, for example, in FIG. 6, in which the left textile element 28 is folded in. The bicycle transport bag 10 can thus be adjusted from a transport configuration, for example in the open state, to a collapsed configuration.

[0087] The collapsed configuration of the bicycle transport bag 10 is shown in FIG. 5. In the collapsed configuration, both textile elements 28, 30 are fully collapsed so that they lie with respective flat sides of the rigid panels on top of each other and on a floor of the bottom portion 12. The rigid plates have an extension substantially corresponding to a floor surface of the bottom portion 12. Thus, the side member 14 can be compactly folded onto the bottom member 12 despite being stiffened with the rigid plates. The collapsed configuration is thus very compact and easy to handle. In the collapsed configuration, no interior space is provided for receiving the bicycle.

[0088] At least one external tensioning strap 32 is arranged on the right textile element 30 or the right side of the bottom portion 12, in the present case two spaced-apart tensioning straps 32. The tensioning straps 32 are configured as tensioning straps with hooks 27 and can thus be hooked in and out. In FIG. 5, it is shown that the tensioning straps 32 are configured to secure the side portion 12 or the two textile elements 28, 30 to the bottom portion 12 in the collapsed configuration of the bicycle transport bag 10. Thus, the two textile elements 28, 30 cannot accidentally unfold and/or detach from the bottom portion 12. In addition, the side center handle 24 is arranged to remain accessible on the top of the bicycle transport bag 10 in the collapsed configuration. Thus, the bicycle transport bag 10 can be easily carried by means of this handle 24.

[0089] The right textile element 30 has an outside pocket 34. The outside pocket 34 is closable by means of a hook-and-loop fastener. In the embodiment shown, the tensioning straps 32 are attached to the right textile element 30 on the inside of the pocket 34. The tensioning straps 32 may be stowed within the pocket 34. As a result, the tensioning straps 32 may be disposed within the pocket 34 to protect the bicycle transport bag 10, for example, in the transport configuration of the bicycle transport bag 10. For example, the tightening straps 32 may be prevented from being caught on a luggage conveyor at an airport.

[0090] From the collapsed configuration, the bicycle transport bag can be unfolded to the open state by releasing the tension straps 32 and unfolding the two textile elements 38, 30. This corresponds to FIGS. 5 to 7 in that order. Subsequently, by closing the zipper 16, the bicycle transport bag 10 can be adjusted in its closed state and transport configuration, as shown for example in FIG. 1.

[0091] FIG. 8 better illustrates the course of the zipper 16 by a thicker illustration as well as an unrolled illustration of an upper side of the left textile element 28 of the side portion 14. As can be seen, the zipper 16 extends from a rear lower end portion of the left textile element 16 first in the transverse direction, i.e., in the horizontal direction when the bicycle transport bag 10 is standing upright, along the rear narrow side of the bottom portion 12. There, the zipper 16 can connect the left textile element 16 to the bottom portion 12. Via a rounded corner, the zipper thereafter extends upwardly in the transport configuration of the bicycle transport bag 10 in an upright direction along an edge of the side portion, more specifically an edge of the left textile element 28. In the corner region, the zipper is closer to the edge to facilitate adjustment and/or to increase an internal tension in the closed state. Thereafter, the zipper 16 extends longitudinally along an upper side edge of the side member, more specifically an edge of the left textile element 28. Thereafter, the zipper 16 extends downwardly in the upright direction along an edge of the side portion, more specifically an edge of the left textile element 28, to the other of the end portions of the bicycle transport bag. Via another rounded corner, the zipper 16 extends to a front lower end region of the left textile element 28 again in the transverse direction, i.e., in the horizontal direction when the bicycle transport bag 10 is standing upright, along the front narrow side of the bottom portion 12. There, the zipper 16 can connect the left textile element 28 to the bottom portion 12. In the corner region, the zipper is closer to the edge to facilitate adjustment and/or increase internal tension when closed. Closing the zipper 16 forces the rigid panels into a substantially vertical orientation when the bicycle transport bag 10 is in an upright position.

[0092] FIG. 9 shows a wrapping device 36 of the bicycle transport bag 10, wherein this wrapping device 36 is optional and can also be provided for bicycle transport bags that are not adjustable between the collapsed configuration and the transport configuration. The wrapping device 36 may provide additional cushioning and protection from scratches for the bicycle, particularly for a frame 38 of the bicycle, during transport in the bicycle transport bag 10.

[0093] The wrapping device 36 is configured to at least partially wrap the frame 38. For this purpose, the wrapping device 36 has a first, left wrapping element 40 and a second, right wrapping element 42, which are fixedly connected with their lower end region at the left and right sides, respectively, to the base part 12 for the wrapping. The wrapping elements 40, 42 are configured, for example, as flexible textile elements with foam filling as padding. For maintenance of the wrapping elements 40, 42, this connection can be detachable, for example by a screw connection.

[0094] The two wrapping elements 40, 42 are configured to be folded over each other with an upper free end portion 44 above the frame 38 for protecting the frame 38 of the bicycle received in the interior space. Such a state is shown, for example, for another embodiment in FIG. 21. For example, the upper free end portion 44 of the right wrapping element 42 is first wrapped over the frame 38, and then the left wrapping element 42 is wrapped over the frame 38 and the free end portion 44 of the right wrapping element 42 located thereon. The upper free end portions 44 are formed at an end portion of the wrapping elements 40, 42 opposite to the lower end portions.

[0095] Furthermore, the two wrapping elements 40, 42 each have a front free end region 46, which are folded over one another over a front fork 48 to protect the bicycle received in the interior space. In this case, the wrapping is carried out analogously to the upper free end regions 44.

[0096] The wrapping device 36 comprises a fastening device configured to releasably fasten the wrapping device 36 to the frame 38 of the bicycle, the front fork 48, and/or the two wrapping elements 40, 42 to each other. The fastening device has respective hook-and-loop fasteners for this purpose. On the outside of the right wrapping element 42, i.e., on a side facing away from the frame 38 and/or facing the right textile element 30, hook-and-loop strips 50 running in the longitudinal direction are sewn on in the upper end region 44 and on the front free end region 46. On the outside of the left winding element 40, i.e., on a side facing the frame 38 and/or facing away from the left textile element 28, hook-and-loop fastener strips 50 running in the upward direction are sewn on in the upper end region 44 and on the front free end region 46. In this way, equally good fastening can be achieved in each case for differently dimensioned frames. For example, in order to protect a paint of the bicycle from scratches, respective hook-and-loop fastener strips 50 facing the frame 38 of the bicycle are formed as the loop side or fluffy side of the respective hook-and-loop fastener, and respective hook-and-loop fastener strips 50 facing away from the parts of the bicycle are formed as the hook side of the respective hook-and-loop fastener.

[0097] FIG. 10 shows the right wrapping element 42 in an external side view. Additional hook-and-loop strips 52 can be seen on the inside, which provide further fastening options. In addition, the right wrapping element 42 has a pocket 54 which is configured to hold a wheel on the side facing away from the frame 38 of the bicycle. This wheel is thus separated from the frame 38 of the bicycle by the right wrapping element 42. The wheel can be easily inserted into the pocket 54 from above with its hub and/or a disc of a disc brake in the upright direction from above. In addition, the right wrapping element 42 includes a wheel locking device configured to lock a wheel held in the pocket 54 to the right wrapping element 42 by means of two loops 56 closable by means of a hook-and-loop fastener. The loops 56 may be wrapped around a rim and/or spokes of the wheel to prevent rotation and other movement of the wheel relative to the right wrapping element 42. In the external side view of the left wrapping element 40 in FIG. 10, it can be seen that the left wrapping element 40 also includes such a pocket 54 for holding another wheel of the bicycle, the wheel also being lockable by means of respective loops 56 of a wheel locking device.

[0098] In FIGS. 10 and 11, it can also be seen that the two wrapping elements 40, 42 have bottom eyelets for screwed attachment to the base portion 12.

[0099] The bottom portion 12 is shown in an exploded perspective view in FIG. 12. The bottom portion 12 has a trough-shaped bottom element 58. Attached to the bottom of the bottom element 58 at the rear is the pair of fixed rollers 18. Attached to the front is another releasably attached roller 60, which is pivotable about an upright direction. When not needed and/or for protection thereof, the roller 60 may be removed. The bottom portion 12 also includes a number of different holding elements 62. The holding elements 62 may be configured to retain the frame 38 and/or the front fork 48 on their underside. Alternatively or additionally, the holding elements 62 are configured to hold a frame holding element 64 of a bicycle maintenance stand 66. Such a bicycle maintenance stand is shown in FIG. 13. The frame holding element 64 is configured to hold the frame 38 and/or the front fork 48 on the underside. Various adapters may be provided for this purpose. The bicycle maintenance stand 66 comprises a stand 68 which is detachably connectable to the frame holding element 64. The stand 68 may, for example, be disassembled into its individual legs and received separately in the bicycle transport bag 10. In the example shown, the stand 68 is configured as a tripod, which can be configured to be height adjustable.

[0100] FIG. 14 shows a headset protection device 70 of the bicycle transport bag 10, which is attachable to the frame 38 and the front fork 48, as shown, for example, in FIG. 9. However, the headset protection device 70 can also be used with other bicycle transport bags. The headset protection device 70 comprises a textile protective element 72 that is flexible and includes foam padding. The protective element 72 wraps a top tube, a head tube, and portions of the front fork 48, as shown in FIG. 14. The headset protection device 70 comprises a fastening device 74 configured to retain the bicycle fork 48 of the bicycle in the head tube. This can prevent the front fork 48 from slipping out of the head tube of the frame 38, even when a bicycle handlebar with its stem has been removed from the front fork 48. The fastening device 74 of the headset protection device 70 comprises a tensioning device 76, which includes a tensioning strap 78 sewn to the protection element 72 with a snap lock 80. This allows the tensioning device 76 to be easily attached to the front fork 48 and tension it against the head tube of the frame 38 to secure it.

[0101] The headset protection device 70 is configured to hold the bicycle handlebar 82 that is dismounted from the bicycle fork, which is exemplarily shown in FIG. 9. For this purpose, the headset protection device 70 has two lateral loops 84 which are sewn to the outside of the protection element 72 and can be opened and closed by means of a hook-and-loop fastener. The closed state of the loops 84 is shown in FIG. 14 and the open state of the loops 84 is shown in FIG. 15. When the bicycle handlebar 82 is held, the protection element 72 is thus arranged between the frame 38 and the bicycle handlebar 82, thereby providing scratch protection.

[0102] FIG. 16 shows a protective bag 86 of the bicycle transport bag 10, which is configured to at least partially receive a bicycle chain and/or a derailleur of the bicycle, in particular its rear gears and/or its derailleur. The protective bag 86 has a textile, flexible and padded element 88, which can be attached to a rear chain stay of the frame 38 by means of a hook-and-loop fastener. This is shown in the detailed view of FIG. 17. In contrast, in FIG. 16, the two hook-and-loop elements 90 can be seen securing a free end portion 92 to the frame 38 of the bicycle when it is wrapped by the free end portion 92 of the protection element 88.

[0103] FIG. 18 shows a second embodiment of the bicycle transport bag 100. The second embodiment of the bicycle transport bag 100 is configured to transport a mountain bike, while the first embodiment of the bicycle transport bag 10 is configured to transport a racing bike. Thus, the two embodiments differ mainly in their dimensions, with the second embodiment being formed larger than the first embodiment. The function of the two embodiments is similar. In the following, therefore, only differences will be discussed, with parts of the same function being provided with the same reference sign.

[0104] In FIG. 20, the film hinge of the right textile element 30 can be particularly well seen, as well as the different design of the frame 138 of the bicycle configured as a mountain bike. A headset protection device 70 is omitted from the bicycle transport bag 100, as a stem 102 remains attached to a head tube of the front fork 48 during transport of the bicycle and secures the front fork 48 to the frame 138.

[0105] At least on the right textile element 30, the side portion 14 has an inner pocket 104 which can be closed by means of a zipper and can accommodate small parts in a protected manner.

[0106] The two wrapping elements 40, 42 of the bicycle transport bag 100 have a different design from that of the bicycle transport bag 10, which can be seen in particular in its side view in FIGS. 22 and 23. The pockets 54 for holding the respective wheels are omitted. Instead, more loops 56 are provided for the wheel locking device to hold the wheels. Instead of the pockets 54, a plastic plate 106 is arranged on each of the respective wrapping elements 40, 42 to protect the large brake discs of the wheels of the mountain bike. As can be taken from a comparison of the two wrapping elements 40, 42 or FIGS. 22 and 23, the wrapping elements 40, 42 are also configured to hold the wheels offset in the longitudinal direction. Thus, a width of the bicycle transport bag 100 can remain small despite particularly wide wheels of a mountain bike. This offset can also be seen clearly in FIG. 21.

[0107] In the bicycle transport bag 100, the two wrapping elements 40, 42 are configured to be folded over each other with a rear free end region 108 over a rear structure of the frame 138 of the bicycle for protecting the frame 138 of the bicycle received in the interior space. In this regard, the attachment is analogous to other free end portions, for which a hook-and-loop fastener is also provided. Accordingly, the protective bag 86 is omitted from the bicycle transport bag 100.

[0108] The right wrapping element 42 includes two attachments 110 configured to receive two of the legs 70 of the stand 68 of the bicycle maintenance stand 66. As can be seen in FIG. 21, the legs 70 held on the right wrapping element 42 are disposed between the right wrapping element 42 and the wheel held thereon. The left wrapping element 40 includes an attachment 110 configured to receive one of the legs 70 of the stand 68 of the bicycle maintenance stand 66. The legs 70 can thus form a type of frame for the wrapping device 36, providing additional protection for the bicycle and support for the wrapping elements 40, 42.

[0109] In FIG. 19, it can be seen that a tensioning strap 26 is arranged on the front narrow side of the bicycle transport bag 100, which can be unhooked on one side for opening the bag. For the tensioning strap 26 has a hook 27 for hooking. The tensioning strap 26 is configured to laterally compress the bicycle transport bag to adapt to a size of the bicycle. Alternatively or additionally, the tensioning strap 26 is configured to relieve tension on the zipper 16. Provided that the tensioning strap 26 is engaged, it can be used as a further handle, for example for pulling the bicycle transport bag. The zipper 16 of the bicycle transport bag 100 is not curved but runs straight.

[0110] FIG. 24 shows an attachment of one of the wrapping elements 40, 42 of the bicycle transport bag 100 by means of a bar 112, which is configured as a fiberglass bar. The bar 112 is passed through a through hole of the wrapping element 40 or 42 and is connected to the bottom portion 12 by means of a screw or rivet 114. This makes the connection more robust than with eyelets. In particular, a load can be introduced over an entire bottom edge. Thus, a light and robust attachment of the wrapping device 36 is provided, which is useful for heavy mountain bikes.
