FR2476583A2 - Protective cover for man's or woman's bicycle - is made from nine cut=out parts to form sack closed by sliding clasp fastener - Google Patents

Abstract

The bicycle cover is cut out into nine parts so as to form a sack, in which a man's or woman's bicycle can be inserted. It can then be hung up to protect the bicycle from dust and the chrome plating from impact or moisture. The cover is closed by e.g. a sliding-clasp fastener. The nine sections can be secured together by welding, gluing, stitching, press-studs, hooks etc. There can be a vertical sliding-clasp fastener (11) extending from the pedal shaft (12).

Description

The present addition relates to important improvements which have been omitted in the main patent. They relate to the advantage of saving material when cutting for the same cover, which can be carried out in nine parts or pieces which once joined , form the cover.

In fact, from a manufacturing point of view, it is more easy to divide the cutting of the fabric into nine parts than into two, hence on the one hand, easier cutting and on the other hand a saving of fabrics, and whether it is: flexible, flexible plastic, woven or non-woven fabric ranging from tarpaulin to Polyamide, vinyl, PCV on other appropriate matters.

The nine parts can be assembled either by sewing, welding bonding, stapling or other means, depending on the material used.

This one-piece cover when finished has a corresponding cut: the outer profile of the cycle reduced by its handlebars and saddle It allows the introduction of the cycle from above with a vertical slide opening allows (12) the introduction of pedals and crank (13) of the crankset. This slot can be with lace-up closure, snap button or hooking fastening.

The part constituting the bottom of the cover or bellows (7) and (8) starts from the bottom of the bottom bracket to the level of the hub of your rear wheel while the bottom of the cover containing the front wheel will also follow the shape of the lower frame of the cycle. to the bottom of the bottom bracket where a zipper will join the two bottoms surrounding the wheels, in (17 ')
A strap (17) will join the two outer parts (I) and (3) and form its attachment (I6) allowing to suspend the handlebar cycle (14) and the saddle (I5) will remain outside the cover.
Of course, the nine cut parts will be joined together by the slides and the bottom, this is for example, that the front will be opposite to the back, the part (I) against the part (4) the part (3) against the part (6), the part (2) against the part (5) and the bellows (7) (8) joining the parts by the round of the cover, the part (7 ') and (8') will be wider under the bottom bracket. In (9) the upper flap will close the cover.

Of course, the present addition will be clearly understood with reference to the description and the drawings appended by way of example.
