Description

  The present invention is a field belonging to a two-wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle for which various ideas have been proposed, and a field belonging to rain gear represented by an umbrella.

  Conventionally, many patents have been issued for bicycle rain gears, but the ideas applied so far have problems in terms of structure and practicality and have not yet been realized. Therefore, even if it still rains, the situation is that it is not possible to ride a bicycle such as a bicycle.

Looking mainly at the ideas that have been filed so far, there are many things that use plastic, and because it is a type that covers from the front of the driver over the head and backwards, the rain flowing over the cover makes the visibility worse, plastic There were drawbacks such as unstable support and heavy weight. On the other hand, those with stable mounting have difficulty in putting it into practical use, for example, they are permanent and cannot be easily mounted.

  It was customary not to be able to ride a motorcycle or other motorcycle when it was raining. Some people dare take a risk and put on an umbrella and drive one hand, but it is extremely dangerous for traffic safety and is not preferable. Although many years have passed since the development of two-wheeled vehicles such as bicycles, no excellent rain gear suitable for two-wheeled vehicles such as bicycles has been developed. To solve this problem, it is possible to carry it on a bicycle such as a bicycle when it is raining, and immediately install it on a bicycle such as a bicycle when it starts to rain so that it can ride on a bicycle such as a bicycle without getting wet. The development not only increases the degree of freedom for users of bicycles such as bicycles, but also eliminates dangerous one-handed driving and produces favorable results for traffic safety.

  The present invention has a resin thin film that can be carried on a two-wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle, has two flexible or restorative resin or metal columns, a ring having a hole through which the column passes, and can be folded. It has a simple structure that consists of 2 to 15 plastic or metal side branches that can be folded lightly and small, so that it does not hit the motorcycle driver such as a bicycle when it is raining. In order to do this, the top of the driver is easily made of resin that sticks to the side branch, supporting two props that are curved before and after the driver, which are attached to the rear and specific parts of the rear stay (aka suspension arm). The most important thing is to cover with a thin film and stretch the resin thin film in the shape of a semi-cylindrical shape in consideration of the spraying of rain from an oblique direction in a shape that is long in the front and back of the driver's body and short in the lateral direction of the body. Features. Also, when not in use, release the thin film of resin thin film, remove the two struts from the bicycle or other two-wheeled vehicle, fasten it into a ring, and bring the horizontal branches together in one place to make the thin film of resin. The whole folding can be stored in a storage bag and can be carried on a bicycle such as a bicycle.

  In this way, when it starts to rain or when it is raining, it can easily be attached to a bicycle such as a bicycle, and a motorcycle such as a bicycle can be driven without getting wet. In addition, the resin thin film is stretched in a kamaboko shape that is long in the front and back of the driver's body and short in the lateral direction of the driver's body, thereby preventing rain from entering from the upward direction as well as the upward direction during driving In addition, it is possible to suppress the fluttering caused by the wind of the resin thin film, and to create a sense of speed and smartness.

  For the purpose of enabling the driving of two-wheeled vehicles such as bicycles without getting wet when it rains, it is made of two resins with rigidity and flexibility that can withstand wind, or a resin that combines a metal support and a lightweight resin thin film Or it was realized by using the frame of a two-wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle with a simple structure and a smaller number of parts rather than combining with a metal side branch.

  FIG. 1 is an external view of an embodiment of the present invention for avoiding rain, and two struts 1 were made using a thin rod made of polyester resin having a diameter of 3 mm. The length was set to about 2.5 m in consideration of passing from the steering wheel about 20 cm above the driver to the rear stay (aka suspension arm). And the handle | steering-wheel side and rear stay (aka suspension arm) side of the support | pillar 1 were bent like FIG. Further, the horizontal branch 3 was cut into seven different lengths of the above-mentioned thin rod made of polyester resin from the maximum length of 86 cm to the minimum length of 48 cm, and both ends were bent symmetrically by heat processing. Then, a resin ring 4 having an inner diameter of 6 mm was welded in the same direction at a position 18 cm to the left and right of the center. Next, after passing the two struts 1 through the ring 4 of each lateral branch 3, the mounting jig 2 for fixing the struts 1 to the rear specific points such as the handle and the rear stay (also called a suspension arm) at both ends of the two struts 1. A protruding fixture 8 for pulling and fixing a resin thin film was welded in the vicinity of the bent portion on the rear specific location side such as the attachment, handle side and rear stay (also called a suspension arm). Next, spread the end of the transparent vinyl thin film that was cut in a sharp point on the two pillars at both ends in the longitudinal direction with a length of 2.05m and a width of 88cm. The horizontal branches 3 were arranged at equal intervals on the upper side, and the connecting terminals 6 were welded to the transparent vinyl thin film side in contact with both ends of each horizontal branch 3. Moreover, the fastener 7 was provided using the eyelet at the pointed part on the two struts at both ends in the longitudinal direction. Next, the transparent vinyl thin film was pulled, both ends of each lateral branch 3 were inserted into the holes of the connecting terminals 6, and the transparent vinyl thin film was stretched on the lateral branch 3.

  Next, after attaching the mounting jig 2 to the bicycle handle and rear stay (also known as the suspension arm) with the completed rain-preventing support post, pull the fasteners 7 at the front and rear ends of the transparent vinyl thin film and hook them on the fixture 8. Fixed. The result of running in the rain was good, no particular wetness, and the transparent vinyl thin film did not wave.

  After use, remove the rain-preventing transparent vinyl thin film fastener 7 from the fixture 8 and move the lateral branch 3 to one place, remove the attachment jig 2 of the support column 1 and bend the support column 1 into a loop to fix it inside. The bicycle was run because it was stored in a foldable bag and the bag was lowered to the side of the bicycle carrier and the lower part was fixed to the frame with a string.

  Since the folded state is thin, it can be carried on a two-wheeled vehicle such as a bicycle, so that it can be used in case of rain. In addition, it can be easily installed when it starts to rain, and it can be easily removed when it stops. In addition, the folding method of the resin thin film is released, the resin thin film is folded in one place, the two posts are rolled up, folded inside, and placed in a storage bag. Can be used for.
