Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] Present invention relates to a mounting assembly for a stand.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Typically, device such as a furniture, or machines such as vehicles are supported by a stand. The stand ensures that the device or the machines are firmly supported on a surface or a ground surface. Generally, the vehicles such as two-wheeled vehicles, are provided with a center stand and/or a side stand. The side stand is attached to a base of a vehicle frame and is adapted to support the vehicle on a side with wheels of the vehicle in contact with the surface or the ground surface. Contrary to the side stand, the center stand is adapted to lift a rear tyre of the vehicle off the surface or the ground surface. This allows free rotation of the rear wheel, making it easier to conduct service, repair or maintenance. Generally, installation of side stand and/or center stand increases unsprung mass of the vehicle, thereby resulting in increased weight of the vehicle. Consequently, performance and mileage of the vehicle is reduced, which is undesirable.
[003] Further, the centre stand includes a spring, which can lose its resilience over a period of time. As such, the centre stand might swivel or pivot freely on bumpy roads or in worst conditions it can hit the ground surface during movement of the vehicle, which is catastrophic. Additionally, loosening of the center stand may increase Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) levels in the vehicle, which inhibits user riding experience, which is undesirable.
[004] In recent past, there is a noticeable increase in customer requirement to customize their vehicles to meet specific needs. Introducing the center stand as an optional accessory offers the customer a bigger range of choices. This allows the customer to select the center stand based on factors such as cost, aesthetics, durability, and specific requirements. Some may opt to exclude a center stand, based on their daily usage patterns. Consequently, presenting the center stand as an optional accessory aligns with these varied preferences.
[005] Currently, vehicles such as, two-wheeled vehicles, are equipped with the center stand as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) fitted component to a frame member. Accordingly, assembly and disassembly of the center stand with the frame member is tedious due to their inaccessibility and requirement of dismantling various components of the vehicle to access mounting of the center stand. However, transitioning from a mandatory OEM-fitted part to an optional accessory may present challenges in terms of vehicle servicing and maintenance. Further, in case of unavailability of the center stand in the vehicle due to its accessorising, it is difficult to quickly attach and detach the center stand during service.
[006] In view of the above, there is a need for a mounting assembly for a stand that addresses at least some of the limitations mentioned above.

Further, one or more side tubes 158 are connected to the center tube 148 and the one or more seat rails 146 for enhancing the structural integrity or rigidity of the frame member 110.
[023] Further, the center tube 148 is provided with a stand mounting bracket 126. The stand mounting bracket 126 extends downwardly from the center tube 148 and is adapted to support a stand 102, such as a center stand, of the vehicle. The stand 102 enables the vehicle left leg to be parked stably on a ground surface during a vehicle idle condition. Also, the stand 102 in an engaged position, enables a user to work on the vehicle during a service event. In the context of the present invention, the term “vehicle idle condition” refers to stopped or a zero-speed condition of the vehicle.
[024] In an embodiment, the stand 102 is mounted to a lower portion of the frame member 110. In case the frame member 110 is the chassis member of the vehicle, the stand 102 is mounted to a lower portion (not shown) of the frame member 110. The term “lower portion” corresponds to a portion of the frame member 110 that is capable of supporting or mounting the stand 102, such that, the stand 102 is capable of supporting the vehicle upon engagement with the surface or the ground surface, In the present embodiment, the lower portion corresponds to the stand mounting bracket 126 of the frame member 110.
[025] In an embodiment, the center tube 148 may be provided with a left center tube 148a that is oriented towards a left side of the frame member 110 and a right center tube 148b that is oriented towards a right side of the frame member 110. The left center tube 148a and the right center tube 148b may be provided with the stand mounting bracket 126. Accordingly, a left side 126a of the stand mounting bracket 126 extends downwardly from the left center tube 148a, and a right side 126b extends downwardly from the right center tube 148b. The stand mounting bracket 126 is adapted to receive and support the stand 102 between the left side 126a and the right side 126b. In an embodiment, the stand mounting bracket 126 is a U-shaped bracket or a C-shaped bracket in a top view of the vehicle, connected to the center tube 148 of the frame member 110. In another embodiment, the stand mounting bracket 126 can be a bracket extending from the left center tube 148a and the right center tube 148b, as per requirement. The extension and dimensions of the stand mounting bracket 126 are considered based on dimensions of the stand 102 to be accommodated in the vehicle.
[026] In an embodiment, the stand mounting bracket 126 is provided with an opening 160 (as shown in Figure 1) for enabling engagement with the stand 102. In another embodiment, the opening 160 is provided to the left side 126a and/or the right side 126b of the stand mounting bracket 126. Around the opening 160 on the left side 126a and/or the right side 126b, a damper member 162 (shown in Figure 4) may be provided for damping vibrations generated during movement of the vehicle.
[027] Figure 3 is a perspective view of the stand 102 mounted to the stand mounting bracket 126, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The stand 102 in the present embodiment is the center stand of the vehicle. The stand 102 comprises a hollow tube 120 adapted to pivotally engage with the stand mounting bracket 126.

In an embodiment, the bush member 122, 124 is a cylindrical member that is capable of engaging with the slot in the hollow tube 120 and the opening 160 on the stand mounting bracket 126. The one or more movable members 106, 108 are operable between an extended position EP (as shown in Figure 5) and a retracted position RP (as shown in Figure 5), thereby enabling selective assembly and dismantling of the stand 102 with the stand mounting bracket 126 or the frame member 110. In an embodiment, the bush member 122, 124 are adapted to axially slide within the hollow tube 120. As such, the bush member 122, 124 slide axially during movement of the one or more movable members 106, 108 between the extended position EP and the retracted position RP.
[032] In an embodiment, the term “extended position” corresponds to a position of the one or more movable members 106, 108 that enables engagement between the hollow tube 120 of the stand 102 and the stand mounting bracket 126. In the present embodiment, the extended position EP corresponds to the one or more movable members 106, 108 positioned such that the bush member 122, 124 protrudes or extends through the opening 160 provided on the stand mounting bracket 126, upon insertion into the hollow tube 120 and the opening 160.
[033] In an embodiment, the term “retracted position” corresponds to a position of the one or more movable members 106, 108 that enables detachment between the hollow tube 120 of the stand 102 and the stand mounting bracket 126. In the present embodiment, the retracted position RP corresponds to the one or more movable members 106, 108 positioned such that the bush member 122, 124 is retracted within the hollow tube 120 and the opening 160.
[034] Further, each of the one or more movable members 106, 108 engages with the one or more legs 112, 114 through flexible members 116, 118. The flexible members 116, 118 are mounted to the one or more legs 112, 114 through a support bracket 168, through conventional mounting techniques known in the art such as clamping, fastening and the like. The flexible members 116, 118 are movable between a first position FP (as shown in Figure 4) and a second position SP (as shown in Figure 5) corresponding to actuation of the one or more movable members 106, 108 to the retracted position RP and the extended position EP respectively. In an embodiment, the term “flexible member” corresponds to a member that is capable of accommodating movement of the one or more movable members 112, 114 during actuation. In an embodiment, the each of the flexible members 116, 118 is a spring member, which can be a compression spring member or an extension spring member or a torsion spring as per requirement.
[035] In an embodiment, the term “first position” corresponds to a position of the flexible members 116, 118 that enables engagement between the hollow tube 120 of the stand 102 and the stand mounting bracket 126. In the present embodiment, the first position FP corresponds to a withdrawn position of the flexible members 116, 118. In an embodiment, the term “second position” corresponds to a position of the flexible members 116, 118 that enables detachment between the hollow tube 120 of the stand 102 and the stand mounting bracket 126. In the present embodiment, the second position SP corresponds to the extension of the flexible members 116, 118.
[036] In an embodiment, the one or more movable members 106, 108 comprises a first movable member 106 and a second movable member 108. The first movable member 106 engages with the left side 126a of the stand mounting bracket 126 or the left side 110a of the frame member 110. The first movable member 106 has a first end 106a having a bush member 122. The first movable member 106 is capable of engaging with the hollow tube 120 and the left side 126a of the stand mounting bracket 126 through the bush member 122. In an embodiment, the first end 106a is inserted into the hollow tube 120 through a circumferential cutout 170. Upon insertion into the hollow tube 120, the bush member 122 provided to the first end 106a of the first movable member 106 slidably engages with the opening 160 on the stand mounting bracket 126 through the slot provided in the hollow tube 120. The first movable member 106 is movable between the extended position EP and the retracted position RP. In an embodiment, the first movable member 106 moves towards the left side 110a when moving from the retracted position RP to the extended position EP. In an embodiment, the first movable member 106 is movable between the extended position EP and the retracted position RP within the hollow tube 120. In another embodiment, the first movable member 106 can be movable between the extended position EP and the retracted position RP outside the hollow tube 120, as well, as per design feasibility and requirement in the stand 102.
[037] In an embodiment, the bush member 122 is adapted to axially slide within the hollow tube 120. As such, the bush member 122 slides axially during movement of the first movable members 106 between the extended position EP and the retracted position RP.
[038] Further, the first movable member 106 engages with the left leg 112 through a first flexible member 116. The first movable member 106 in the retracted position RP actuates the first flexible member 116 to the first position FP, while the first movable member 106 in the extended position EP operates the first flexible member 116 in the second position SP. The first flexible member 116 is adapted to store energy during movement between the first position FP and the second position SP. Thus, when force exerting on the first movable member 106 in the retracted position RP is withdrawn, the first flexible member 116 operates the first movable member 106 to the extended position EP. Such a construction mitigates the need for the user to manually assemble or detach the stand 102 from the frame member 110, thereby easing the process of assembly and dismantling of the stand 102 in the vehicle.
[039] Further, the second movable member 108 engages with the right side 126b of the stand mounting bracket 126 or the right side 110b of the frame member 110. The second movable member 108 has a first end 108a having a bush member 124. The second movable member 108 is capable of slidably engaging with the hollow tube 120 and the right side 126b of the stand mounting bracket 126 through the bush member 124. In an embodiment, the first end 108a is inserted into the hollow tube 120 through the circumferential cutout 170. Upon insertion into the hollow tube 120, the bush member 124 provided to the first end 108a of the second movable member 108 engages with the opening 160 on the stand mounting bracket 126 through the slot provided in the hollow tube 120. The second movable member 108 is movable between the extended position EP and the retracted position RP. In an embodiment, the second movable member 108 is movable between the extended position EP and the retracted position RP within the hollow tube 120. In an embodiment, the second movable member 108 moves towards the right side 110b when moving from the retracted position RP to the extended position EP. In another embodiment, the second movable member 108 can be movable between the extended position EP and the retracted position RP outside the hollow tube 120, as well, as per design feasibility and requirement in the stand 102.
[040] In an embodiment, the bush member 124 is adapted to axially slide within the hollow tube 120. As such, the bush member 124 slides axially during movement of the second movable members 108 between the extended position EP and the retracted position RP.
[041] Further, the second movable member 108 engages with the right leg 114 through a second flexible member 118. The second movable member 108 in the retracted position RP actuates the second flexible member 118 to the first position FP, while the second movable member 108 in the extended position EP operates the second flexible member 118 in the second position SP. The second flexible member 118 is adapted to store energy during movement between the first position FP and the second position SP. Thus, when force exerting on the second movable member 108 in the retracted position RP is withdrawn, the second flexible member 118 operates the second movable member 108 to the extended position EP. Such a construction mitigates the need for the user to manually assemble or detach the stand 102 from the frame member 110, thereby easing the process of assembly and dismantling of the stand 102 in the vehicle.
[042] In an embodiment, the first movable member 106 may be mounted to the right leg 114 and the second flexible member 118. Similarly, the second movable member 108 may also be mounted to the left leg 112 and the first flexible member 116. In the present embodiment, the first movable member 106 and the second movable member 108 are located in the hollow tube 120 such that, the first movable member 106 and the second movable member 108 are moving within or between the left leg 112 and the right leg 114, in a left-right direction of the vehicle. Such a disposition ensures that packaging of other components in the vehicle is not affected while assembling or dismantling the stand 102 from the frame member 110.
[043] In an embodiment, the one or more movable members 106, 108, or the first movable member 106 and the second movable member 108 are elongated plate-like members that are adapted to engage with the frame member 110 and the one or more legs 112, 114 of the stand 102. Accordingly, the shape, construction, and dimensions of the one or more movable members 106, 108, or the first movable member 106 and the second movable member 108 can be considered as per requirement in the stand 102. In an embodiment, the one or more movable members 106, 108, or the first movable member 106 and the second movable member 108 can be curved plate members as well, as per requirement in the stand 102.
[044] In an embodiment, the one or more movable members 106, 108, (i.e. the first movable member 106 and the second movable member 108) can be assembled or mounted to the flexible members 116, 118 and be mounted within the hollow tube 120, while manufacturing and/or mounting the stand 102 onto the vehicle.
[045] In an embodiment, in construction where the one or more movable members 106, 108 is positioned within the hollow tube 120, dimensions of the bush members 122, 124 are considered such that, the bush members 122, 124 are positioned completely within the hollow tube 120, when the one or more movable members 106, 108 are operated to the retracted position RP. Such a construction ensures that the one or more movable members 106, 108 disengage from the frame member 110. In an embodiment, in construction where the one or more movable members 106, 108 is positioned outwardly to the hollow tube 120, the dimensions of the bush members 122, 124 are considered such that, the bush members 122, 124 disengage from the opening 160 and the hollow tube 120, when the one or more movable members 106, 108 are operated to the retracted position RP.
[046] In an operational embodiment, referring to Figure 5, the one or more movable members 106, 108 are operated by the user to the retracted position RP, so that the bush members 122, 124 conform to the length of the hollow tube 120. At this scenario, the flexible members 116, 118 are operated to the first position FP from the second position SP, thereby storing energy. Thereafter, the slot of the hollow tube 120 is aligned with the opening 160 on the stand mounting bracket 126. Once aligned, the user releases or withdraws force applied to the one or more movable members 106, 108. At this juncture, the energy stored in the flexible members 116, 118 is released, thereby actuating the one or more movable members 106, 108 to the extended position EP from the retracted position RP. Accordingly, the bush members 122, 124 get inserted into the opening 160, thereby slidably engaging the stand mounting bracket 126. The flexible members 116, 118 in the second position SP ensures that the stand 102 is retained in the frame member 110 and thus, mitigates accidental dismantling of the stand 102 during movement of the vehicle.
[047] The claimed invention as disclosed above is not routine, conventional, or well understood in the art, as the claimed aspects enable the following solutions to the existing problems in conventional technologies. Specifically, the claimed aspect of providing the mounting assembly to the stand facilitates easy assembly and dismantling of the stand, thereby mitigating need for special tools and technician for assembling or dismantling the stand. Further, the flexible members ensure that the stand is held onto the frame member, thereby preventing accidental dismantling of the stand from the frame member. Additionally, the mounting assembly provides a unique choice for the user whether to mount the stand or remove, based on his requirement. Moreover, removal of the stand, reduces unsprung mass and weight of the vehicle, thereby enhancing performance and efficiency of the vehicle.
[048] While the present invention has been described with respect to certain embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modification may be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
