Technical Field
The present invention relates to a bicycle bag for storing and transporting bicycles. The bicycle bag comprises a protective frame comprising a rigid longitudinal bottom frame, substantially vertical front and rear frames extending upwardly from longitudinal ends of the bottom frame, and a detachable top frame extending between upper ends of the front and rear frames, the frames defining a protective cavity arranged to receive a bicycle, a bicycle support for securing the bicycle to the bottom frame, and a flexible cover configured to enclose the protective frame.
Background
Today's bicycles, and in particular bicycles for racing, are more and more advanced and comprise complex technical equipment and sensitive or fragile equipment, such as gear equipment. Bicycles, especially when used in the professional racing industry, represent a high-priced sports apparatus.
It is known that such bicycles, and in particular certain parts of these bicycles, such as the brake system, the rear derailleur, the brake handle and the gear shift lever/gear controller, etc., are sensitive to mechanical handling and damage. This is especially dangerous during transportation of the bicycle, such as by airplane, train or car, when the bicycle is subjected to mechanical forces and rough handling.
For better protection during transportation and for ease of handling and storage during transportation, different types of bicycle bags have been developed.
WO2017/213515 discloses a foldable bag having a rigid bottom and reinforced foldable side walls for easy storage.
One drawback of many bicycle bags is that they are not sufficiently strong to achieve adequate protection, such as during handling and transportation by airplane, and the like. Another disadvantage of many bales is their weight. Hard cover bags generally have a high degree of protection due to their stable outer shell, however, they have the disadvantage of being bulky and bulky, making it almost impossible to compress/fold them for storage when not in use.
The space provided for storage of bicycle bags, particularly rigid bags, is often large. Rigid bags with high protection are generally incompressible, which means that a large space is required for storage when not in use.
A problem with many known compressible/collapsible bicycle bags is that they often have a low degree of protection and/or are complicated to use. Many bags are time consuming and complex to use, which provides the user with many steps in folding them for storage or installing them for use. In addition, many bicycle bags are inconvenient to use when entering a bicycle and securing it in the bag for transportation.
Accordingly, there is a need for an improved bicycle transport bag that overcomes one or more of the above-mentioned problems, such that it is safe and effective for transporting bicycles.
Disclosure of Invention
The object of the present invention is to reduce the risk of damage to the bicycle or to fragile or vulnerable parts thereof during storage or transport.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved transport container for bicycles which has a high degree of protection and which at the same time is effective when in use and space-saving when not in use.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a protective bag that is easy to manufacture and simple in construction, that is also configured to facilitate quick installation and removal, and that is foldable.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a bag that allows easy, convenient use and that does not require time to place and secure the bicycle inside the bag.
Another object of the invention is to provide a protective bag which is light in weight and yet highly protective for bicycles.
Another object of the invention is to provide a bag in which the bicycle can be reliably and efficiently secured during transport.
Another object of the invention is to provide a protective bag suitable and adaptable to different types of bicycles, such as bicycles for track-racing, road-racing or mountain biking, etc.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a transport container for bicycles which solves one or more of the above mentioned objects and which is at the same time optimized in terms of the volume of the bag, both when in use and when stored afterwards.
These objects are achieved by the bicycle bag as further defined in the independent claims, while embodiments, variants or alternatives are defined by the dependent claims.
In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a bicycle bag for storing and transporting bicycles, said bag comprising
-a protective frame comprising a rigid longitudinal bottom frame, substantially vertical front and rear frames extending upwardly from longitudinal ends of the bottom frame, and a detachable top frame extending between upper ends of the front and rear frames, the frame defining a protective cavity arranged to receive the bicycle,
-at least one bicycle support for fastening the bicycle to the bottom frame, an
-a flexible cover configured to enclose the protective frame.
The bag is characterized in that the vertical front and rear frames are hinged at their lower regions to fold over toward the opposite ends of the bottom frame in order to fold the bag. The advantage of such a bag is that the bicycle is safely enclosed, so that the bicycle is protected inside it from mechanical forces when mounted. The foldable front and rear frames allow folding of the bag and result in a more or less flat assembly when the bicycle is not installed. The foldability is achieved by means of hinges which are inserted in the vertical frame parts or at the connection areas between the bottom frame and the vertical frame parts and which make it unnecessary for the vertical rear frame and the front frame to be detached from the bottom frame when folding the bag for storage. This allows for a very efficient mounting and dismounting of the pack and overcomes the more complex pack structures known in the prior art. At the same time, the weight of the bag can be light due to the combination of the protective frame structure and the cover of the bag, which eliminates the need for a hard cover or other more rigid structure to achieve a high degree of protection. The cover may be attached to the bottom frame, or it may be loose. The bicycle support serves as a fastening means for fixing the bicycle to the bottom frame.
Hinges suitable for folding/compression in the rear and front vertical frames are preferably located in the lower region, but may be disposed at a distance upward from the bottom frame structure, thereby defining the height of the bag when compressed, and allowing sufficient space to insert and store the disassembled bag elements inside when the bag is in a compressed state (e.g., top frame, bottom bracket, rear and front frames, partially flexible cover, etc.).
The front frame, the rear frame and the bottom frame may constitute one unit, which means that these parts cannot be detached from each other even when the bag is folded.
Preferably, each of the vertical front and rear frames includes at least one hinge for folding.
The bicycle support includes a bottom bracket support and/or a front fork support. The bottom bracket support and/or front fork support is configured to support the bicycle frame at the bottom bracket and respectively on the front fork. These parts of the bicycle are generally rigid and strong, so the front forks, which are located near the front end of the bicycle frame, and the bottom bracket, which is located near the rear end of the bicycle frame, are adapted to provide a stable and strong support without the risk of damaging the fragile parts.
In one embodiment, the bottom bracket support and/or front fork support may be removably disposed on the bottom frame. This is usually achieved by fastening means. Such fastening means may be, for example, clips or other preferably quick release fastener types. An advantage of having a detachable bottom bracket support and/or front fork support is that the bicycle frame can be mounted and fastened to these elements before the bicycle is mounted in the bicycle bag. This allows for easier mounting and fastening of the bicycle frame. It can be inconvenient and difficult if the fastening of straps, clips or other small items (especially in the bottom area) is done while the bicycle is placed in the bicycle bag, and access and visibility can be limited and difficult in such cases. Preferably, the fixation of the bottom bracket support and/or the front fork support to the bottom frame is flexible and/or stepless, e.g. by standardized fastening means (e.g. clips that can be attached at any position along the longitudinal bars of the bottom frame). This allows different bicycle frame types and sizes to be optimally placed and stabilized within the bag.
The protective frame may include a plurality of sections that provide shock absorbing properties to the frame. This allows the frame to withstand external forces while still maintaining its shape when no external forces are applied. The bicycle bag may be bumped or jammed in a cluttered storage compartment and by the flexibility of the sections allows the bag frame structure to withstand such forces without being partially broken or permanently bent.
In one embodiment, one or more of the sections are an integral part of the rear frame and/or front frame. The sections may also be located in other frame parts, such as a top frame or a bottom frame, etc.
Preferably, the segments are made of an elastic material or a spring mechanism.
The flexible cover may be configured to securely enclose the frame structure when installed. Since the frame structure may define the outer boundary of the bag, the flexible cover may be stretched around the frame structure, and additional support elements in the cover are not necessary for the bag to obtain its shape. This also helps to reduce the size of the packet, especially in the folded state.
The flexible cover may include side, front, rear, and/or top sections having stiffening elements sewn or otherwise attached thereto. Such a reinforcing element may provide additional protection for the bicycle in case of impacts from external or sharp objects hitting or pressing against any side of the frame structure of the bag. For example, a bicycle wheel may be placed on each side within a bicycle bag, and such reinforcement elements may be provided on side sections of the bag for protecting fragile portions on the wheel.
According to one embodiment, when the top frame is disassembled, the upper part of the vertical front and/or rear frame is hinged and can be folded outwards in order to make it easier to install the bicycle into the bag.
Preferably, the vertical rear and front frames are self-supporting after being mounted to the base frame. This is effective even when the top frame is not installed, allowing the bicycle frame to be easily installed and secured into the bag prior to installation of the top frame.
The hinges in the vertical front and rear frames for folding/compression are preferably in the lower region, but may be arranged at a distance upward from the bottom frame structure, defining the height of the bag when compressed and allowing sufficient space to insert and store the disassembled bag elements inside when compressed (e.g., top frame, bottom bracket, rear frame, front frame, partially flexible cover, etc.).
Preferably, the frame portions, i.e. the front frame, the rear frame, the bottom frame and the top frame, are each of a uniform construction, i.e. not made of a plurality of detachable pieces that are mounted together during installation of the bag.
The upper portion of the vertical front frame and/or rear frame can be folded outwardly to more easily install the bicycle into the bag.
The vertical rear and front frames may be self-supporting without an attached top frame, i.e. the vertical front and rear frames are self-supporting when mounted in their raised position due to their connection to the bottom frame structure. This ensures that when the vertical frame is arranged on the bottom frame, the frames (rear and front frames) will be more or less vertical, creating space for mounting the bicycle and attaching straps for securing the bicycle within the bag for easy access.
The frame structure of the bicycle bag may be provided with straps or the like for suspending the bicycle frame within the frame, while the bicycle may rest on the bottom bracket support and/or the front fork support. Even if the bicycle is resting on the bottom bracket support and the front fork support, the bicycle is suspended to the top and/or front and/or rear of the frame with straps to ensure that the bicycle does not move within the bag and to ensure that the bicycle remains more or less in the middle of the frame structure during all movement of the bag.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to a bicycle bag for storing and transporting bicycles, the bag comprising
-a protective frame comprising a rigid longitudinal bottom frame, substantially vertical front and rear frames extending upwardly from longitudinal ends of the bottom frame, and a detachable top frame extending at upper ends of the front and rear frames, the frame defining a protective cavity arranged to receive the bicycle,
-at least one bicycle support for fastening the bicycle to the bottom frame, an
-a flexible cover configured to enclose the protective frame.
The bag is characterized in that when the top frame is disassembled, the upper part of the vertical front frame and/or rear frame is hinged and can be turned outwards to install the bicycle into the bag more easily.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to a bicycle bag for storing and transporting bicycles, the bag comprising
-a protective frame comprising a rigid longitudinal bottom frame, substantially vertical front and rear frames extending upwardly from longitudinal ends of the bottom frame, and a detachable top frame extending between upper ends of the front and rear frames, the frame defining a protective cavity arranged to receive the bicycle,
-at least one bicycle support for fastening a bicycle to the bottom frame, an
-a flexible cover configured to enclose the protective frame. The bag is characterized in that the vertical rear and front frames are self-supporting after being mounted to the bottom frame. This also applies when disassembling the top frame.

A preferred type of hinge for providing this folding option is to use a corresponding principle as known from tent poles and as shown in fig. 3. Each section to be folded is a hollow tube and a continuous bungee cord 58 (shock cord) passes through each section and is secured in the first and last sections to be folded. The segments are provided with inserts allowing different segments to be inserted into each other and connected to each other. One segment can then be pulled out of the adjacent segment and folded over while the bungee cord maintains the connection between the portions. By using this principle a very easy to use mounting procedure is achieved, since each part to be mounted will be in its correct position and it is not possible to put together the wrong components. Other known hinge solutions may also be used. In other embodiments, the vertical post may include several tubular sections that can be disassembled to separate the parts and placed inside the bag for a folded bicycle bag.
