Also, the system can be applicable for the storage or storage of food and beverages, for which can be coupled to a cooling system.

The system object of the invention, likewise, could be applied as a slogan, allowing the storage of very various items or products, such as suitcases.

Background of the invention

Everyone's vulnerability is known bicycle since its invention, both by the subtraction of components as by the subtraction of it, as well as the vulnerability to acts of vandalism by third parties as per atmospheric and meteorological agents.

Also, the bicycle has been developed adapting its characteristics, ranges and equipment to the different types that allow its use in different areas, citizen, transport, sports, leisure, etc.

In the same order, each time the equipment to ride the bicycle safely, such as helmet, reflective vest and even the right clothes. These elements are an inherent part of the use of the vehicle, for what must be considered proper to it and necessary for its Use safely.

Currently plans are being developed to national and European level of endowment for bicycle citizenship Publish and rent. These systems exclusively retain the bike in a location bases, but they don't protect in any measure subsequent integrity once deposited in the base of Location.

This causes the bicycle provided by These systems are not always in the right conditions, not being able to guarantee a good provision of the service and not guaranteeing or providing other necessary elements for your use such as lighting, helmet, reflectors or others elements to circulate safely.

Similarly, conventionally, a large number of bicycle owners, keep these in their own home, either in a storage room, if available, or in the own house if there is no storage room or other similar place with a minimum protection guarantees.

Thus, different disadvantages arise, the main one being space, since, as is known, most private homes are usually small dimensions and it is quite difficult to have a place suitable for storing the bicycle or bicycles, if not available of a storage room or similar place to store them.

On the other hand, still having a place suitable for storing bicycles at home (housing / storage room), there is the disadvantage that paths to access the storage location are not the adequate, since there are no easy accesses to have to go through narrow aisles, with right angles, through elevators, stairs, or doors of reduced width, as well as joint transit with other vehicles in the car parks or garages

Likewise, everyone is known, the fact that the use and enjoyment of the bicycle as a means of transport, enhanced by a policy of creation of roads of transit of this means (bike lane), with the disadvantage that they are imitated to carry out one-way transfers and return, conditioned by the unavailability of custody spaces of the bicycle and if it is done it is done in places inadequate, both for its location and for its safety.

Thus, there is a risk that if the bike is leaves a tree or lamppost tied outdoors, is exposed to the action of desaprensivos, that can deteriorate it or even subtract it, in addition to weather, weather conditions and environmental.

On the other hand, when the bicycles are they are stored in establishments for sale, they occupy a large space, since they are usually aligned in one row on the ground, because it is not possible its adequate stacking on some structure not having enough height numerous establishments

In other establishments the bicycles are aligned hung at low height, thereby the space problem remains practically the same, resulting all as consequence of not having any suitable mechanism or structure for Bicycle storage.

Description of a preferred embodiment

In view of the commented figures and of according to the numbering adopted we can observe how the system storage is basically made up of a base 1 of support and leveling that incorporates rolling means 2, preferably, according to two, imaginary, concentric circles, of such that on said rolling means 2, such as wheels, mount a rotating annular platform 3.

The support and leveling base 1 forms a general surface of circular crown based on profiles 4 and the rolling means 2, protruding from its upper flush, are arranged according to two concentric circles. Logically, the number of raceways could be a variable number.

In addition, the support and leveling base 1 presents a series of crossbars in relation to its smaller diameter 5 vertical This base 1 is useful for leveling all the set.

Also, the support and leveling base 1, in in relation to the access door 6, it presents an arch 7 between its part external bottom and a vertical crossbar 5 that mounts the elements of traction and movement of the access door.

On the other hand, to the annular platform 3, in its lower surface, it has been practiced two 8 circular channels concentric in which the rolling means 2 of the support and leveling base. The number of circular channels 8 concentric will be as many as concentric circles define the rolling means 2 of the support base 1.

In addition, on the annular platform 3 they are mounted a series of partition walls 9, generally in "L" in vertical radial position, so that in the subsequent assembly of the they define a plurality of storage cells 10 individual, which presents a plant in the form of a circular sector truncated.

Thus, each of the partition walls 9, of general form in "L", forms a side wall and the bottom, according to its major and minor wings, so that in the subsequent assembly of the dividing partitions 9 the plurality of cells 10 are defined of individual storage with its roof and front open, according to a general form, in plan, of truncated circular sector.

\hbox{el fondo

That is, the side walls of the plurality of individual storage cells 10 are formed by the major wings of two adjacent partition walls 9 and

 \ hbox {the bottom
it is formed by the minor wing of one of said dividing partitions
9.} 

Individual storage cells 10 in the that bicycles are located 11 define a prismatic space trapezoidal and at its base has a central groove 12, a guide mode, which channels the wheels of the bicycle 11 in its introduction, withdrawal and in its static positioning of storage.

In addition, the central groove 12 of the face superior of the plurality of individual storage cells 10, it has a slight slope inwards and downwards, which prevents bicycles from getting out by force centrifuge during the rotating movement of platform 3 cancel. Also, said groove 12 is provided with a drain 13 for the exit of possible liquids that can be poured in the same.

At both ends of the central groove of individual storage cells 10 define stops that delimit the space where the wheels of the bicycle.

On the other hand, in the part corresponding to the front wheel of bicycle 11, that is, the outermost part of the central groove 12, said groove 12 diverges opening in the form of fan 14 and with marked positions of different angles of rotation of the handlebar, which allows the rotation of the handlebar in its introduction if it is large.

The central groove 12, of the upper face, of the plurality of individual storage cells 10 is made so that in the positioning of the bicycle, it is held against one of the two lateral partition walls 9 by simple support of the handlebar or saddle.

Individual storage cells 10 they act as containers by defining a protected enclosed space in its entire perimeter, since the frontal and zenith face is closed by the perimeter enclosure 16 of the assembly so that only can access the individual storage cell 10 when This is located in front of the access door 6.

The said perimeter enclosure 16 conforms by a series of sectors, which are supported with respect to the contour of the support and leveling base 1 and the crossbars 5 vertical of its smaller diameter, for which profiles 4 radial shapers of the structure of the support base 1 are finish in the form of "U" 17 welcoming the abovementioned sectors of enclosure.

The execution of storage cells 10 individual, as indicated, with their respective grooves 12, end stops and partition walls 9, allow a proper positioning of the element (bicycle or others), regardless of its dimensions.

Also, bicycles 11 may be arranged in the respective individual storage cells 10, even with load, with total safety, both for the bike itself, and for the cargo they can carry. Loose items can be deposit a tray 15 materialized in the cell 10 itself.

In addition, all 11 bicycles are left independent of each other, so that they have no incidence among them, not affecting the rest of vehicles, the fact that they may be dirty, or objects can fall same.

The rotation of the annular platform 3 can be done manually, electrically or electronically, being able to incorporate each of the individual storage cells 10 a mechanism electronic recognition for your search and focused on the required area

Logically, the storage system can Be underground, surface or mixed.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention the set will be at ground level and will have a single floor. So, starting from this set of a single floor they can be stacked on each other.

The operation of the storage system when you want to have one of the bicycles 11 located in the corresponding individual storage cell 10 will be the Next: Since individual storage cells 10 are perfectly identified with the owner or user of the bicycle that is located in them, first platform 3 annul will rotate to be arranged so that said 10 of Individual storage is positioned with its front Open to the access door.

Once in position and stop, the access door 6 to allow the introduction or withdrawal of the bike, and once this is done, the door and the system will close returns to the resting position or waiting set.

In short, we get a system of intelligent storage for bicycles with an important and positive environmental impact, because the implementation of this type of parking-storage favors the use of the bicycle as an alternative transport element, to power dispose of it in a comfortable, safe and simple way at the foot of street and to have the rest of the elements to travel sure.
