Abstract
Abstract A multiple bicycle support system comprising a plurality of horizontally spaced, vertically disposed rails, each of which slidably supports a bicycle support mechanism which is selectively engagable by a pulley assembly carrying a cable adapted to raise the bicycle support mechanism to a selected height along its associated bicycle support rail. One of the pulleys supporting the cable is horizontally movable and positionable with respect to each of the rails such that only one pulley assembly is required to raise a plurality of bicycle support mechanisms.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A multiple bicycle support comprising a plurality of horizontally spaced rails disposed on a vertical wall; bicycle support means slidably carried by each of said rails; a first pulley fixedly mounted to said vertical wall at a position horizontally spaced from the last of said plurality of rails; a second pulley mounted above said rails and slidably movable so as to be selectively positioned adjacent to any one of said rails; a cable carried by said pulleys having means at one end for engaging, selectively, each of said bicycle support means so as to raise said bicycle support means along its associated rail to a desired position; and means carried by said associated rail for locking said bicycle support means at said raised position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
124 words
A multiple bicycle support comprising a plurality of horizontally spaced rails disposed on a vertical wall; bicycle support means slidably carried by each of said rails; a first pulley fixedly mounted to said vertical wall at a position horizontally spaced from the last of said plurality of rails; a second pulley mounted above said rails and slidably movable so as to be selectively positioned adjacent to any one of said rails; a cable carried by said pulleys having means at one end for engaging, selectively, each of said bicycle support means so as to raise said bicycle support means along its associated rail to a desired position; and means carried by said associated rail for locking said bicycle support means at said raised position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The multiple bicycle support defined in claim 1 wherein said bicycle support means further comprises means to permit said bicycle support to be moved inwardly and outwardly with respect to its associated vertically disposed rail.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The bicycle support defined in claim 2 wherein said cable means is releasably attachable to each of said bicycle support means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The bicycle support defined in claim 2 further comprising means for releasably securing said bicycle to said bicycle support means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
58 words
The bicycle support defined in claim 2 further comprising means which support the rails of said bicycle, said bicycle wheel support means each having tubular portions which telescopically engage each other to provide for adjustment in the horizontal spacing between said wheel support, such that said wheel supports are adapted to support a plurality of differently sized bicycles.
