THE MANNER IN WHICH IT IS TO BE PERFORMED:

TITLE OF THE INVENTION:

An Automated Centre Stand for Two- Wheelers

TECHNICAL HELD:

0001 The present invention discloses centre stand for two-wheelers; particularly disclosing the automated centre stand for two-wheelers.

BACKGROUND:

0002 A two-wheeler vehicle such as a motorcycle or a scooter is essentially provided with a parking stand. The stand is an essential component of the two- wheeler that facilitates parking of the two-wheeler. Conventional stands are generally a manual stand that is manually operated, wherein the stand is pivoted either to an engine, an engine-bracket or a frame of the two-wheeler. The pivotable stand is generally manually moved between an on-stand configuration, in which the stand rests on ground for supporting the two-wheeler for facilitating parking of the two- wheel er and an off-stand configuration, in which the stand moves away from the ground. The stand includes a spring that facilitates retracting of the stand back to an off-stand configuration or horizontal position from the on-stand configuration or vertical position thereof. However, in case of manually operated stands, the rider of the two-wheeler is required to get-off from the riding seat of the two-wheeler to move the stand between on-stand configuration and the off-stand configuration.

0003 Further, in case of manually operated stands lot of effort and time is required for moving the stand between on-stand configuration and the off-stand configuration. Further, moving of the stand between on-stand configuration and the off-stand configuration is difficult and inconvenient for physically weak riders, particularly, women, senior citizens and differently abled people. Furthermore, manual operation of such manual stands may cause injury during operation thereof. Automatically operated stands for two- wheelers are also known in the art, however, such automatically operated stands are in-effective and have serious limitations such as conventionally known automatically operated stands are not reliable, are expensive, are energy efficient and draw more power from the vehicle battery for operation thereof, thereby leading to quick draining of the vehicle battery and reduced life of the vehicle battery. Further, conventionally known operated stand involve use of delicate elements such as actuators that are subjected to frequent loading and other undesirable service conditions such as jerks, shocks and cyclic loading that are detrimental for the service life of such delicate elements, thereby resulting in frequent failures of such delicate elements that are expensive.

0004 Generally, while operating the stand, as the stand is moving from the horizontal to vertical position, the stand is dragged on all sorts of roads during the parking of the twowheeler vehicle consequently damaging the stand and also consuming more battery power. Also in most of the cases of the load is acting on the actuator, when the two-wheeler vehicle is parked, causing damage to the actuator in the long run. Accordingly, conventionally known automatically operated stand require frequent maintenance and have high maintenance costs associated there- with.

0005 Further, the dependency of the conventionally known operated stands on the vehicle battery is more and as such, conventionally known automatically operated stands fail to operate in case of weak or dead vehicle battery.

0006 Conventionally known automatically operated stand fails to operate when the twowheeler vehicle is required to be parked on bridges/slopes. Furthermore, conventionally known automatically operated stands fails to stably support the two-wheeler and any forces acting on the two-wheeler vehicle, while the two-wheeler vehicle is supported on the automatically operated stand may cause the two-wheeler vehicle to get de-stabilized, fall and get damaged.

0007 Conventionally known automatically operated stands are bulky and not rigid. Conventionally known automatically operated stands are inoperable in case of dead vehicle battery and this puts the person in great difficulty as the two-wheeler vehicle becomes immobile. Further, conventionally known automatically operated stands do not provide any ground clearance while operating from the horizontal position to vertical position on most of the roads, thereby causing damage to the stand in long run as well as to vertical; position on most the roads, thereby causing damage to the stand in long run as well as to the actuator and also consuming more battery power in this case as the stand is dragged with the full load of the actuator and also consuming more battery power in this case as the stand is dragged with the full load of the two-wheeler.

0008 Accordingly, there is a need for an automatically operated stand that gets locked so that with the push two wheeler does not get off the stand unless the switch is operated or an emergency lever is used to de-park the bike. This automatically operated stand effectively reducing the loading on the elements thereof and also reduces exposure of these elements to the undesirable operational conditions such as jerk and shocks, thereby reducing the detrimental impact of these over the service life of such delicate elements and enhancing the reliability and service life of the automatically operated stand. 0009 Further, there is a need for an automatically operated stand that eliminated drawback of the dragging during operation of the stand. More specifically, there is a need for an automatically operated stand that while turning from horizontal position to vertical position has ground clearance thereafter supports the two-wheeler vehicle thereon while parking on the slope or on the bridge, the stand is so designed that it easily takes the load and while parking on the slope or on the bridge, the stand is so designed that it easily takes the load without the stand getting dragged or damaged or without damaging the actuator and can therefore park/de-park the two wheeler vehicle conveniently.

0010 Further, there is a need for an automatically operated stand that has low maintenance costs associated there-with. Furthermore, there is a need for an automatically operated stand whose dependency on the vehicle battery is considerably reduced and that the mobility of the two- wheeler vehicle is not affected and the two- wheeler vehicle can be moved/manually pushed and taken conventionally known automatically operated stands are bulky and not rigid. Conventionally known automatically operated stands are inoperable in case of dead vehicle battery and this puts the person in great difficulty as the two-wheeler vehicle becomes immobile. Furthermore, conventionally known automatically operated stands do not provide any ground clearance while operating from the horizontal position to vertical position, thereby causing damage to the stand in long run as well as to the actuator and also consuming more battery power in this case as the stand is dragged with the full load of the two-wheeler.

0011 Accordingly, there is a need for an automatically operated stand that reduces the loading on the elements thereof and also reduces exposure of these elements is a need for an automatically operated stand that reduces the loading on the undesirable operational conditions such as jerks and shocks, thereby reducing the detrimental impact of these over the service life of such delicate elements and enhancing the reliability and service life of the automatically operated stand.

0012 Further, there is a need for an automatically operated stand which has no load on the hydraulic cylinder shaft I actuator rod when parked two wheeler as the load of two wheeler is completely transferred on the weight bearing mechanism of the automatic centre stand. Further making the hydraulic shaft/ actuator rod completely free from any dead weight load of the parked two wheeler.

0013 Furthermore, there is need for an automated operated stand whose dependency on the vehicle battery is considerably reduces and that the mobility of the two-wheeler vehicle is not affected and the two-wheeler vehicle can be moved/ manually pushed and taken in case of complete breakdown of the two-wheeler vehicle or in case of dead vehicle battery by using the manual lever that is specially designed to de-park the two-wheeler vehicle or in case of dead vehicle battery by using the manual lever that is specifically designed to de- park the two wheeler in case the battery fails. Furthermore, there is a need for an automatically operated stand that adjusts itself well, thereby enabling parking of the twowheeler on bridge/slopes. Still further, there is a need for an automatically operated stand that stably supports the two-wheeler vehicle. Further, there is a need for an automatically operated stand that can be conveniently moved between the off stand configuration and on stand configuration while the rider is still seated on the off- stand configuration and the on- stand configuration while the rider is still seated on the two-wheeler vehicle. Still further, there is a need for an automatically operated stand that can be quickly moved between the off stand configuration and on stand configuration without requiring any effort. Furthermore, there is a need for an automatically operated stand that is simple in construction and easy to manufacture. Furthermore, there is need for an automatically operated stand that may be retrofitted to any conventional two-wheeler vehicle without requiring any modifications. Furthermore, there is a need for an automatically operated stand that may be retrofitted to any conventional two wheeler vehicle without requiring many modifications. Furthermore, there is a need for an automatically operated stand which has no load on the actuator rod/hydraulic cylinder when parked as the load of the two-wheeler is completely on the weight bearing mechanism of the automatic stand.

0014 Furthermore there is a need of an automatic operated stand that on which the two wheeler when parked does not get off the stand with push as the two wheeler may fall after stand.

0015 Furthermore there is a need for an automatically operated stand on which the two wheeler is very rigidly parked underweight bearing mechanism so that it does not damage the hydraulic cylinder and or actuator.

0016 Furthermore there is a need for an automatically operated stand that push locks the pin with the frame when it rest on the weight bearing mechanism.

0017 Furthermore there is a need for an automatically operated stand so when the people rests on the parked vehicle it does not get off the stand under the persons weight.

0018 Furthermore there is need for an automatically operated centre stand that has no load on the hydraulic cylinder and or actuator when parked position.

0019 Furthermore there is need for an automatically operated centre stand that does not allow the pin and bushing to slide and open before turning from horizontal to vertical position.

0020 Furthermore there is need for an automatically operated centre stand where in the pin and bushing slides and closes completely then allowing the stand to turn completely from vertical position to horizontal position. 0021 Furthermore there is need for an automatically operated centre stand that does not allow the pin and bushing to slide and open before turning the stand from horizontal position to vertical position.
