Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a support for bicycles with longer cyclist bottles while still being able to hold them securely during use. This results in better grip on the bottle's rim when it becomes heavier.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text is that current support structures used in bicycles have high costs and weights, which limit their ability to hold onto them securely during use. Additionally, they lack sufficient grip or cross-sectional stability when placed over certain sized bottles.

Embodiment Construction

With reference to the figures, a support structure for bicycle bottles and similar containers, overall indicated with the reference numeral 1, comprises a supporting frame 2 made of a relatively rigid material, suitable to house and removably hold internally thereof a bottle B schematically depicted in FIG. 19 with dotted lines.

According to the invention, the supporting frame 2 essentially comprises a back anchoring post 3 extending along a longitudinal axis L, with two supporting arms 4, 5 extending from the upper end of post 3.

Preferably, post 3 has a substantially “U” shaped section (FIG. 3) and is provided with means for anchoring to a bicycle frame or a similar member. In this particular case, said anchoring means consist of two holes 6 formed in corresponding recesses 7 for screw heads.

Arms 4, 5 are symmetrical and diverging from the longitudinal axis L, and they are bent along a curved space line first upwardly, then forwardly and eventually downwardly in order to embrace the la

Abstract

A support structure for bicycle bottles includes a three-dimensional supporting cage frame (2) and anchoring structure (6, 7) for securing to a bicycle frame. The supporting structure (2) has a rear post (3) with two arms (4, 5) extending from its upper end, the arms being substantially symmetrical and diverging from each other. The arms (4, 5) are at least partially bent upwardly, forwardly and downwardly in order to embrace the lateral wall of a bottle (B), the lower end portions (8, 9) of the arms converge and are connected to each other to form a lower appendix (10) directed towards the post (3) that is suitable to support the bottom wall of the bottle (B). The arms (4, 5) and the post (3) are positioned over a substantially cylindrical surface whose inner diameter (D) is slightly larger than the outer diameter (Ø) of the bottle (B). The maximum span (d) between the inner edges of the converging lower ends (8, 9) of the arms is smaller than or equal to the half of the inner diameter (D) at a distance (h) from the appendix (10) that is substantially equal to the inner diameter (D). The support structure exhibits a reduced weight, an improved drag efficiency, a larger file of the bicycle bottle.
