図１はこの発明の実施例１における自転車用のキャリアＫを有する自転車Ｊの全体側面図、図２は後輪９７上に配置させたキャリアＫの垂下部材２，２にサークル錠Ｓを取り付けた状態を示す側面図、図３は前記キャリアＫの平面図、図４は前記キャリアＫの側面図、図５は前記キャリアＫを後方から見た状態の図を示している。 1 is an overall side view of a bicycle J having a bicycle carrier K according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a circle lock S attached to the hanging members 2 and 2 of the carrier K arranged on the rear wheel 97. FIG. 3 is a plan view of the carrier K, FIG. 4 is a side view of the carrier K, and FIG. 5 is a view of the carrier K viewed from the rear.

（自転車Ｊを構成する部材について）
この自転車Ｊは、図１に示すように、ハンドルバー９０、前ホーク９１、前輪９２、フレームを構成する下パイプ９３ａ及び立てパイプ９３ｂ、サドル９４、ペダル９５、シートステー９６、後輪９７、スタンド９８、泥よけ９９を備えており、更にはキャリアＫやサークル錠Ｓをも備えている。 (About the members that make up bicycle J)
As shown in FIG. 1, the bicycle J includes a handlebar 90, a front fork 91, a front wheel 92, a lower pipe 93a and a standing pipe 93b constituting a frame, a saddle 94, a pedal 95, a seat stay 96, a rear wheel 97, a stand. 98, a mudguard 99, and also a carrier K and a circle lock S.

（キャリアＫの構成について）
キャリアＫは、図１や図２に示すように、後輪９７の上方に位置する荷台本体１の後部側下面に、左右一対の垂下部材２，２を一体化して成り、前記左右一対の垂下部材２，２相互間に掛け渡す態様でサークル錠Ｓをネジ止めしてある。なお、このキャリアＫは、従来のものと同様に、図１や図２に示すように、シートステー９６及び後輪９７の軸受けシャフトに取り付けられたステー８１を介して、ある程度の重量でも変形すること無くしっかりと形状が保たれるようにしてある。 (About the structure of Carrier K)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the carrier K is formed by integrating a pair of left and right hanging members 2, 2 on the lower surface of the rear side of the cargo bed main body 1 positioned above the rear wheel 97. The circle lock S is screwed in such a manner as to span between the members 2 and 2. The carrier K is deformed by a certain amount of weight through a stay 81 attached to the bearing shaft of the seat stay 96 and the rear wheel 97 as shown in FIGS. It is designed to maintain its shape without any problems.

荷台本体１は、全体が鋼棒で構成されており、図１に示すように、基本的には、上面視で前後方向に長い略縦長台形状の枠体１０と、前記枠体１０の下面部に溶接された前側の横桟１１及び後側の横桟１２と、前記枠体１０内における横桟１１，１２上に溶接された左右一対の縦桟１３，１３とから構成されている。ここで、この荷台本体１では、図３や図４に示すように、縦桟１３，１３には前方に向って下方に延びる延長部１３ａ，１３ａを設けてあり、この延長部１３ａ，１３ａを上記シートステー９６，９６側にネジ止めするようにしてある。同様に、横桟１２の左右折り曲げ部は後輪９７の軸受けシャフトに取付られたステー８１にネジ止めするようにしてある。 As shown in FIG. 1, the loading platform body 1 is basically composed of a steel rod. Basically, a frame body 10 having a substantially vertically long trapezoidal shape that is long in the front-rear direction as viewed from above, and a lower surface of the frame body 10. It comprises a front horizontal beam 11 and a rear horizontal beam 12 welded to the part, and a pair of left and right vertical beams 13, 13 welded on the horizontal beam 11, 12 in the frame 10. Here, in this cargo bed main body 1, as shown in FIG.3 and FIG.4, the vertical bars 13 and 13 are provided with the extension parts 13a and 13a extended downward toward the front, and these extension parts 13a and 13a are provided. Screws are attached to the seat stays 96, 96 side. Similarly, the left and right bent portions of the horizontal rail 12 are screwed to a stay 81 attached to the bearing shaft of the rear wheel 97.

垂下部材２，２は、図４に示すように、縦桟１３，１３の後端側延長部をＶ字形状に折り曲げると共にその折り曲げ端部を当該縦桟１３，１３の下面に溶接するようにして形成されている。ここで、この垂下部材２，２の後方側傾斜部には、図４や図５に示すように、ネジ止め用の貫通孔２０をそれぞれ設けてあり、前記貫通孔２０を介してサークル錠Ｓをネジ止めしてある。また、この実施例では、垂下部材２，２は、図１や図２に示すように、後輪９７のタイヤ９７ａ及び泥よけ９９の上部分を跨ぐ態様、つまり当該垂下部材２，２の下端部がタイヤ９７ａまで至るように設定してある。 As shown in FIG. 4, the hanging members 2, 2 are formed by bending the rear end side extensions of the vertical bars 13, 13 into a V shape and welding the bent ends to the lower surfaces of the vertical bars 13, 13. Is formed. Here, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, through-holes 20 for screwing are respectively provided in the inclined portions on the rear side of the drooping members 2, 2, and the circle lock S is inserted through the through-holes 20. Is screwed. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the hanging members 2, 2 are in a mode of straddling the upper part of the tire 97 a and the mudguard 99 of the rear wheel 97, that is, the hanging members 2, 2. The lower end is set to reach the tire 97a.

（このキャリアＫの機能について）
（１）垂下部材２，２相互間に掛け渡す態様でサークル錠Ｓを、荷台本体１の後部下面側に取り付けることができる。この取り付け位置は、降車において姿勢をほとんど変えることなく、サークル錠Ｓを開錠状態から施錠状態にできるので、非常に都合がよい。
（２）上記サークル錠Ｓの取り付けと同様にして、走行時の安全を確保するための反射シールを貼り付けた反射プレートＰ（図６参照）を設置できる。
（３）上記サークル錠Ｓの取り付けと同様にして、自転車の駐輪場所による、管理シート、学校の指定シール等、管理シールを貼り付けたプレートを設置できる。
（４）今後、盗難防止の展開による自転車のナンバープレートを設置することもできる。
（５）上述した如く、垂下部材２，２は、後輪９７のタイヤ９７ａ及び泥よけ９９の上部分を跨ぐ態様、つまり当該垂下部材２，２の下端部がタイヤ９７ａまで至るように設定してある。したがって、転倒時において、キャリアＫが変形しようとしても垂下部材２，２とタイヤ９７ａ及び泥よけ９９が衝突するため、キャリアＫの変形は大きく抑制される。 (About the functions of this carrier K)
(1) The circle lock S can be attached to the rear lower surface side of the cargo bed body 1 in a manner of hanging between the hanging members 2 and 2. This attachment position is very convenient because the circle lock S can be changed from the unlocked state to the locked state with almost no change in posture when getting off.
(2) In the same manner as the attachment of the circle lock S, a reflection plate P (see FIG. 6) on which a reflection seal for securing safety during traveling can be installed.
(3) In the same manner as the attachment of the circle lock S, a plate to which a management sticker is attached such as a management sheet, a school designated sticker, etc. depending on the bicycle parking place can be installed.
(4) Bicycle license plates can be installed in the future to prevent theft.
(5) As described above, the hanging members 2 and 2 are set so as to straddle the tire 97a of the rear wheel 97 and the upper portion of the mudguard 99, that is, the lower end portion of the hanging members 2 and 2 reaches the tire 97a. It is. Therefore, when the carrier K is about to be deformed, the drooping members 2 and 2 collide with the tire 97a and the mudguard 99, so that the deformation of the carrier K is greatly suppressed.

また、左右一対の垂下部材２，２は剛性が高いＶ字形状（逆三角形状）となっているから、施錠状態における自転車Ｊの前後動によりスポークとサークル錠Ｓとが衝突した場合であっても垂下部材２，２の剛性によりサークル錠Ｓの変形は抑制される。したがって、前記衝突によってもサークル錠Ｓの施錠・開錠操作が阻害されるような事態は生じない。 Further, since the pair of left and right hanging members 2 and 2 are V-shaped (inverted triangular shape) with high rigidity, the spoke and the circle lock S collide with the longitudinal movement of the bicycle J in the locked state. Also, the deformation of the circle lock S is suppressed by the rigidity of the hanging members 2 and 2. Therefore, there is no situation where the locking / unlocking operation of the circle lock S is hindered by the collision.

（その他の形態について）
上記実施例では、垂下部材２，２はＶ字形状としているが、これに限定されることなく半円形状としてもよく、その他の形状とすることができる。要するに、サークル錠Ｓ等が円滑に取り付けられる構成であればよいのである。 (About other forms)
In the said Example, although the drooping members 2 and 2 are made into V shape, they may be semicircular shape without being limited to this, and can be made into other shapes. In short, any configuration is acceptable as long as the circle lock S or the like can be smoothly attached.

また、垂下部材２，２は、必ずしも鋼棒で構成されていなくてもよく、さらには荷台本体１と一体的に構成されたものでなく後付けできるものでもよい。例えば、後付けする場合の構成としては、図７や図８に示すように、（ａ）左右一対の垂下部材２，２相互を前後の取り付け部材２１，２２（ネジ孔２１ａ，２１ｂを有する）を介して固定して成る下部材と、（ｂ）ビス挿通孔２３ａ，２３ａを有する蓋部材２３から成る上部材と、（ｃ）二本のビス２９，２９とから構成し、前記取り付け部材２１，２２及び前記蓋部材２３の側部の円弧状部で縦桟１３，１３を挟み込み、その状態において、ビス２９，２９をビス挿通孔２３ａ，２３ａを介してネジ孔２１ａ，２１ｂに螺入すればよい。これは一例であって、他の形態を採る事は自由である。 Moreover, the drooping members 2 and 2 do not necessarily have to be formed of steel bars, and may not be configured integrally with the cargo bed main body 1 but can be retrofitted. For example, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, as a configuration for retrofitting, (a) a pair of left and right hanging members 2, 2 are attached to front and rear mounting members 21, 22 (having screw holes 21 a, 21 b). A lower member that is fixed via the upper member, (b) an upper member that includes a lid member 23 having screw insertion holes 23a and 23a, and (c) two screws 29 and 29, and the attachment member 21, 22 and the arc-shaped portion on the side of the lid member 23 are sandwiched between the vertical bars 13 and 13, and in this state, the screws 29 and 29 are screwed into the screw holes 21a and 21b via the screw insertion holes 23a and 23a. Good. This is an example and it is free to take other forms.
