Craig Bleazard - Grantsville UT, US
International Classification:
A47F007/00
US Classification:
211/019000, 248/316500, 211/005000
Abstract:
A bicycle storage apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus may have a collar within which a core member is rotatably engaged. A pair of locking arms is pivotally attached to the core member such that each of the locking arms has an open position designed to permit insertion or withdrawal of a bicycle wheel and a closed position designed to block withdrawal of the wheel. Rotation of the core member locks the locking arms in the closed position. A bicycle can be stored in the apparatus by elevating the front wheel above the rear wheel, inserting the front wheel into engagement with the locking arms, and rotating the front wheel from a substantially vertical plane to lock the locking arms in the closed position. The collar and the core member may be designed such that they can be formed by blow molding with a simple, two-plate mold system.
