~958~
In operation, the frame 2 is placed on top of the sleigh 20 (as shown in Figure 2). The grooved rail 18 is engaged with the rim 22 of the sleigh 20 along its rear edge.
The frame is then tilted forward so that the built-in clamps 12 on the front arms 10 engage the rim 22 of the sleigh 20 along its sides and are secured by the screws 14.
The clear protective cover is then placed over the frame. The two rear elastic portions 36 are secured over the rear edges of the sleigh; the two front elastic portions 38 are secured over the front edges of the sleigh, and the two middle elastic portions 40 are secured over the two screws 14.
It will be understood that the frame and clear protective cover could be incorporated into one piece.
Referring to Figure 7 there is shown a further embodiment of the invention for securing to a wagon 2.
The frame is formed by two generally U-shaped support rails 4, and at least one support beam 6.
Each end of the U-shaped support rail 4 has a built-in clamp 8 for securing to the wagon rim 10. The built-in clamp is tightened to the wagon rim 10 by means of screws 12. It will be understood that other means of securing the frame 2 to the wagon could be used.
A clear protective cover is shown in Figure 12 for fitting over the frame of Figure 7.
Figures 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 show details of the constructed version of this embodiment.
It will be readily apparent to a person s~illed in the art that a number of variations and modifications can be made without departing from the true spirit of the invention which will now be pointed out in the appended claims.
Additional details can be determined from the following notes of the inventors.
