Stand for securing a two-wheeled vehicle, especially a motocross-motorcycle

Abstract

A stand ( 1 ) for securing a two-wheeled vehicle, especially a motocross motorcycle ( 2 ). The stand includes a base part ( 3 ) to be positioned on a surface ( 18 ), a lifting member ( 4 ) being vertically displaceable in relation to the base part ( 3 ) between a lowered position and a raised position and having a supporting surface ( 5 ) adapted to abut a downwardly facing surface of the vehicle. The stand is provided with at least one retaining member ( 6 ) having a downwardly facing contact face ( 7 ) adapted to engage an upwardly facing surface ( 8 ) of the vehicle and to secure the vehicle jointly with the lifting member in the raised position thereof. The retaining member ( 6 ) is mounted on a holding member ( 9 ) being mounted on the base part ( 3 ) and projecting upwardly there-from such that the vehicle ( 2 ) is clamped between the retaining member ( 6 ) and the lifting member ( 4 ), when said lifting member is moved to its raised position.

1 . A stand for securing a two-wheeled vehicle, especially a motocross motorcycle, said stand including a base part to be positioned on a surface, a lifting member being vertically displaceable in relation to the base part between a lowered position and a raised position and having a supporting surface adapted to abut a downwardly facing surface of the vehicle, said stand further being provided with at least one retaining member having a downwardly facing contact face adapted to engage an upwardly facing surface of the vehicle and to secure the vehicle jointly with the lifting member in the raised position thereof, characterised in that the retaining member is mounted on a holding member being mounted on the base part and projecting upwardly therefrom such that the vehicle is clamped between the retaining member and the lifting member, when said lifting member is moved to its raised position.  
   
   
       2 . A stand according to  claim 1 , characterised in that it includes two holding members being interspaced in the transverse direction of the stand so that the vehicle can be arranged therebetween, and the retaining members of said holding members extending transversely from the respective holding member towards the other holding member.  
   
   
       3 . A stand according to  claim 2 , characterised in that when seen in a cross-sectional view the retaining members are reversed U-shaped such that the contact face has downwardly extending legs on each side.  
   
   
       4 . A stand according to  claim 3 , characterised in that the retaining members are displaceable in the longitudinal direction and/or in the transverse direction of the holding members.  
   
   
       5 . A stand according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the lifting member is positioned between the two holding members which are shaped as vertical guide means for the lifting member.  
   
   
       6 . A stand according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the holding members are U-shaped in a horizontal sectional view, the U-shaped transverse section receiving the end of the lifting member.  
   
   
       7 . A stand according to  claim 6 , characterized in that one of the legs in the U-shaped transverse section of each holding member is provided with an incision to allow the lifting member to be brought out of engagement with the holding members when the lifting member is in its lowered position.  
   
   
       8 . A stand according to  claim 7 , characterized in that it includes a jack being removably arranged between the base part and the lifting member.  
   
   
       9 . A stand according to  claim 8 , characterized in that it is adapted to allow the jack to be secured to the lifting member and with the secured lifting member to be brought out of engagement with the holding members in the lowered position of the lifting member.  
   
   
       10 . A stand according to  claim 9 , characterized in that the downwardly facing surface of the jack and the upwardly facing surface of the base part have complementarily shaped and horizontally acting fixing means.  
   
   
       11 . A stand according to  claim 10 , characterized in that the retaining member(s) and the lifting member are arranged in the same vertical plane extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
