BICYCLE CONTAINMENT APPARATUS

摘要

A bicycle containment system is disclosed. The system can include one or more vertical supports, one or more cantilevered crossbars pivotally connected to one or more vertical supports, one or more wheel locking mechanisms, and a control system. Each cantilevered crossbar can include two substantially parallel extending arms and a frame locking mechanism. The frame locking mechanism can be made up of one or more frame locking bars and one or more frame locking actuators. Each wheel locking mechanism can include a wheel locking bar and a wheel locking actuator. The locking mechanism control system can be configured to actuate the frame locking actuators and the wheel locking actuators.

1. A bicycle containment system comprising:
at least one vertical support; at least one crossbar pivotally connected to the at least one vertical support, each crossbar being connected to:
a first extending arm and a second extending arm, wherein the extending arms are substantially parallel; anda frame locking mechanism comprising:
at least one frame locking bar; andat least one frame locking actuator; at least one wheel locking mechanism comprising:
at least one wheel locking bar; andat least one wheel locking actuator; a locking mechanism control system configured to actuate the frame locking actuators and the wheel locking actuators; wherein at least one of the first and second extending arms comprise a linear actuator; wherein at least one of the first and second extending arms comprise a frame locking bar; and wherein extending the linear actuators prevents the frame locking bar from rotating with respect to the extending arms.
