In addition, a fence 5 having a predetermined height is welded and fixed in a vertical state to the upper surfaces of the front and rear square pipes and the left and right round pipes. Thereby, the flat loading surface 6 is formed inside the fence 5 on the upper surface of each pipe. At this time, the narrow portions 7 are provided on both sides of the front end side of the cargo bed portion 3a by setting the length of the round pipe shorter than the length of the square pipe to which both ends thereof are fixed by welding. .

また、前記荷台部3aの前方の角パイプには、自在継ぎ手8が配設されている。この自在継ぎ手8は、図7に示すように、後端部にネジ部8aを有すると共に、前端側に設けた内面が球面の孔8bに、外周面が球面で形成された継ぎ手本体8cが水平方向と垂直方向に所定角度回転自在に収納されている。また、継ぎ手本体8cには、その中心位置に上下方向に貫通した貫通孔8dが設けられている。   A universal joint 8 is disposed on the square pipe in front of the loading platform 3a. As shown in FIG. 7, the universal joint 8 has a threaded portion 8a at the rear end portion, and a joint body 8c having an inner surface formed in a spherical surface 8b and a peripheral surface formed in a spherical surface on a front end side. It is stored so as to be rotatable by a predetermined angle in the direction perpendicular to the direction. Further, the joint body 8c is provided with a through hole 8d penetrating in the vertical direction at the center position thereof.

そして、この自在継ぎ手8のネジ部8aを、前記荷台部3aの角パイプの長手方向の中間位置下面に前方に突出する状態で固定された継ぎ手支持パイプ9のネジ孔9a(図5及び図14参照)にねじ込みナット18(図14参照)で固定することで、自在継ぎ手8が荷台部3aの前端側に配設されている。なお、荷台部3aの各角パイプの下面側(もしくは側面側)の所定位置には、積載面6上に積載される荷物の落下防止用バンドを係止させるバンド係止部10が複数個設けられている。   Then, the screw hole 9a of the joint support pipe 9 fixed in a state where the screw portion 8a of the universal joint 8 protrudes forward to the lower surface of the intermediate position in the longitudinal direction of the square pipe of the loading platform 3a (FIGS. 5 and 14).

It should be noted that a plurality of band locking portions 10 are provided at predetermined positions on the lower surface side (or side surface side) of each square pipe of the cargo bed portion 3a to lock the fall-preventing band of the load loaded on the loading surface 6. It has been.

前記支柱部3bは、角パイプからなる左右一対の垂直支柱11と、この垂直支柱11の上下端部を連結する一対の水平支柱12を有している。そして、垂直支柱11は、その上端が前記荷台部3aの角パイプの後端部下面に、図5に示すヒンジ13により図の矢印イの如く回動可能に連結されると共に、その下端部にはフック部材14がそれぞれ配設されている。このフック部材14は、図8に示すように、下方に開口した係止溝14aを有する一対の側板14bを有し、この側板14b間には、係止板14cと操作板14dがそれぞれ軸を中心に回動可能に配設されている。   The column part 3b has a pair of left and right vertical columns 11 made of square pipes and a pair of horizontal columns 12 that connect the upper and lower ends of the vertical column 11. The upper end of the vertical column 11 is connected to the lower surface of the rear end of the square pipe of the loading platform 3a so as to be rotatable as shown by the arrow A in FIG. Hook members 14 are respectively disposed. As shown in FIG. 8, the hook member 14 has a pair of side plates 14b each having a locking groove 14a that opens downward. Between the side plates 14b, the locking plate 14c and the operation plate 14d each have an axis. It is rotatably arranged at the center.

すなわち、図8(a)に示すように、その係止溝14aに前記係止金具2fが押し込まれた係止状態においては、係止板14cの係止部が係止金具2fに係止されて、係止板14c(フック部材14)の係止金具2fからの抜けが防止されている。この状態から、操作板14dの操作レバー14d1をスプリング14eの付勢力に抗して図の矢印ハの如く下方に押すと、図8(b)に示すように、操作板14dが図の矢印の如く回動すると共に係止板14cも図の矢印の如く回動して、操作板14dと係止板14cの係止状態が解除、すなわち係止金具2fとの係止状態が解除されるようになっている。なお、このフック部材14の係止板14cや操作板14dの構成は、図示した例に限定されず、適宜の構成を採用することができる。   That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, in the locked state in which the locking fitting 2f is pushed into the locking groove 14a, the locking portion of the locking plate 14c is locked to the locking fitting 2f. Thus, the locking plate 14c (hook member 14) is prevented from coming off from the locking metal fitting 2f. From this state, when the operation lever 14d1 of the operation plate 14d is pushed downward as shown by the arrow C in the figure against the urging force of the spring 14e, as shown in FIG. The locking plate 14c is also rotated as shown by the arrow in the figure so that the locked state of the operation plate 14d and the locking plate 14c is released, that is, the locked state of the locking bracket 2f is released. It has become. The configuration of the locking plate 14c and the operation plate 14d of the hook member 14 is not limited to the illustrated example, and an appropriate configuration can be adopted.

また、前記各垂直支柱11の所定位置には、図5及び図6に示すように、ヒンジ固定ブロック15が溶接固定され、この各ヒンジ固定ブロック15と、前記荷台部3aの角パイプのヒンジ固定部との間には、軸16aを中心に回動可能なヒンジ16がそれぞれ配設されている。すなわち、一方のヒンジ部材16bの端部が荷台部3aの角パイプに回動自在に支持され、他方のヒンジ部材16cの端部がヒンジ固定ブロック15に回転自在に支持されている。このとき、ヒンジ部材16b、16cは、操作レバー16dの矢印ニ方向への操作により、その係止状態が解除されることで軸16aを中心に回動すなわち矢印ロ方向(もしくは、矢印反ロ方向)に屈曲可能に構成されて、支柱部3bが荷台部3aに対して図5の矢印イの如く折り畳み可能となっている。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, hinge fixing blocks 15 are fixed by welding at predetermined positions of the vertical columns 11, and the hinge fixing blocks 15 and the square pipes of the loading platform 3a are fixed by hinges. A hinge 16 that can be rotated about a shaft 16a is disposed between each portion. That is, the end of one hinge member 16b is rotatably supported by the square pipe of the loading platform 3a, and the end of the other hinge member 16c is rotatably supported by the hinge fixing block 15. At this time, the hinge members 16b and 16c rotate about the shaft 16a by releasing the locked state by the operation of the operation lever 16d in the direction of the arrow D, that is, the direction of the arrow B (or the direction opposite to the arrow B). The support column 3b can be folded with respect to the loading platform 3a as shown by an arrow A in FIG.

また、操作レバー16dを操作しない位置においては、各ヒンジ部材16b、16cが回動することなくその位置が保持されるようになっている。なお、このヒンジ16も手動操作等により折り畳み可能な適宜構成のヒンジを使用することができる。さらに、図6に示すように、前記垂直支柱11の上部側面には、略L字状の丸パイプからなり後述する如くリヤカー本体2の支持ブロック4にその先端部が支持される支持パイプ17の基端部が、垂直支柱11の左右側方に突出する状態でそれぞれ溶接固定されている。   Further, at the position where the operation lever 16d is not operated, the position is maintained without the hinge members 16b and 16c rotating. The hinge 16 may be a suitably configured hinge that can be folded by manual operation or the like. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper side surface of the vertical column 11 is formed of a substantially L-shaped round pipe, and a support pipe 17 whose tip is supported by the support block 4 of the rear car body 2 as will be described later. The base end portions are fixed by welding in a state of projecting to the left and right sides of the vertical column 11.

このように構成された連結荷台3は、牽引リヤカー1の使用時に、図1及び図8(a)に示すように、垂直支柱11下端のフック部材14がリヤカー本体2の係止金具2fにそれぞれ係止されると共に、支持パイプ17の先端部がリヤカー本体2の支持ブロック4にそれぞれ嵌合固定される。このとき、支持パイプ17は、図9に示すように、支持ブロック4の嵌合孔4bに密に嵌合状態とされると共に、締付ネジ4aの締め付け回転操作でその位置が固定されている。   When the towed rear car 1 is used, the coupled cargo bed 3 configured in this way is configured so that the hook member 14 at the lower end of the vertical column 11 is attached to the locking fitting 2f of the rear car body 2 as shown in FIGS. The front end of the support pipe 17 is fitted and fixed to the support block 4 of the rear car body 2 while being locked. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, the support pipe 17 is closely fitted in the fitting hole 4b of the support block 4, and the position thereof is fixed by the tightening rotation operation of the fastening screw 4a. .

そして、リヤカー本体2の積載面2b上に積載した荷物の重量や道路事情等により積載面2bの高さ位置が変化し、支持ブロック4の嵌合孔4b部分に拗れるように力が作用した場合であっても、その嵌合状態すなわち連結荷台3とリヤカー本体2の連結状態が安定維持されるようになっている。   Then, the height position of the loading surface 2b changes depending on the weight of the load loaded on the loading surface 2b of the rear car body 2 and road conditions, and a force acts so as to bend into the fitting hole 4b portion of the support block 4. Even in this case, the fitted state, that is, the connected state of the connecting cargo bed 3 and the rear car body 2 is stably maintained.

次に、連結荷台3と牽引車としての例えば自転車との連結構造を、図10〜図14に基づいて説明する。先ず、連結荷台3を自転車の荷台20に連結するには、図10に示すように、上取付板22と一対の下取付板23及び連結ピン24からなる連結部材21によって連結される。前記上取付板22は、図11及び図12に示すように、中央部が一段高く形成されると共に、この中央部の前後方向両側に挟持部22aがそれぞれ設けられ、各挟持部22aには2つの固定孔25がそれぞれ形成されている。   Next, the connection structure of the connection carrier 3 and, for example, a bicycle as a towing vehicle will be described with reference to FIGS. First, as shown in FIG. 10, the connecting carrier 3 is connected to the bicycle carrier 20 by a connecting member 21 including an upper mounting plate 22, a pair of lower mounting plates 23, and a connecting pin 24. As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the upper mounting plate 22 has a central portion formed one step higher, and sandwiching portions 22a are provided on both sides of the central portion in the front-rear direction. Two fixing holes 25 are respectively formed.

また、後方側(図11において左側)の挟持部22aには、長手方向の中央部分に連結ピン挿入筒26の下端が立設状態で溶接固定され、この連結ピン挿入筒26には、上部に外径が下部より小さく前記自在継ぎ手8の厚さと同一長さの継ぎ手係合部26aが形成されると共に、中心位置には上下貫通する状態で挿通孔26bが形成されている。この上取付板22の各挟持部22aに対向する前記下取付板23は、上取付板22の固定孔25に対応した位置に同一内径の固定孔27がそれぞれ形成されている。また、各下取付板23は、その前後方向の一方の端部に上取付板22の裏面に当接可能な屈曲部23aがそれぞれ設けられている。なお、上取付板22の中央部の端部には、後述する連結ピン24に接続されたワイヤー28の端部を固定するための固定孔29(図11参照)が設けられている。   Further, the lower end of the connecting pin insertion tube 26 is fixed to the holding portion 22a on the rear side (left side in FIG. 11) with the lower end of the connecting pin insertion tube 26 standing upright at the center in the longitudinal direction. A joint engaging portion 26a having an outer diameter smaller than that of the lower portion and the same length as the thickness of the universal joint 8 is formed, and an insertion hole 26b is formed in the center position so as to penetrate vertically. The lower mounting plate 23 facing each clamping portion 22 a of the upper mounting plate 22 is formed with a fixing hole 27 having the same inner diameter at a position corresponding to the fixing hole 25 of the upper mounting plate 22. Each of the lower mounting plates 23 is provided with a bent portion 23a that can contact the back surface of the upper mounting plate 22 at one end in the front-rear direction. A fixing hole 29 (see FIG. 11) for fixing the end of the wire 28 connected to the connecting pin 24 described later is provided at the end of the central portion of the upper mounting plate 22.

前記連結ピン24は、図13に示すように、円筒状でその下端部に一対のピン24a1が外周面に対して出没可能に配設された所定長さの係止部24aと、この係止部24aの上部に一体化された操作部24bを有している。操作部24bには、操作ボタン24b1が設けられ、この操作ボタン24b1を図の矢印ニの如く押すことにより、係止部24a下端のピン24a1が図示しないバネの付勢力に抗して外周面から引っ込む(没する)ようになっている。また、操作部24bには、紛失防止用の前記ワイヤー28の一端がリング30を介して連結されている。なお、連結ピン24の係止部24aの長さは、前記連結ピン挿入筒26の挿通孔26bの全長と同一に設定されている。   As shown in FIG. 13, the connecting pin 24 is cylindrical and has a locking portion 24 a having a predetermined length in which a pair of pins 24 a 1 are arranged at the lower end of the connecting pin 24 so as to protrude and retract with respect to the outer peripheral surface. The operation part 24b integrated in the upper part of the part 24a is provided. The operation portion 24b is provided with an operation button 24b1, and when the operation button 24b1 is pushed as shown by an arrow D in the figure, the pin 24a1 at the lower end of the locking portion 24a resists the biasing force of a spring (not shown) from the outer peripheral surface. It is designed to retract (sink). In addition, one end of the wire 28 for preventing loss is connected to the operation unit 24 b via a ring 30. The length of the locking portion 24a of the connecting pin 24 is set to be the same as the entire length of the insertion hole 26b of the connecting pin insertion tube 26.

このように構成された連結部材21は、図10及び図14に示すように、上取付板22の挟持部22aと各下取付板23との間に自転車の荷台20を構成する金属棒20aを位置させた状態で、挟持部22a及び下取付板23の固定孔25及び27とボルト31及びナット32を利用して、各金属棒20aを各挟持部22aと各下取付板23でそれぞれ挟持する。これにより、連結部材21が自転車の荷台20に固定設置される。そして、この固定設置された連結部材21の連結ピン挿入筒26の継ぎ手係合部26aに、図14に示すように、前記連結荷台3の自在継ぎ手8の貫通孔8dを上方から嵌合する。   As shown in FIGS. 10 and 14, the connecting member 21 configured as described above includes a metal rod 20 a that constitutes a bicycle carrier 20 between the holding portion 22 a of the upper mounting plate 22 and each lower mounting plate 23. In this state, the metal rods 20a are clamped by the clamping portions 22a and the lower mounting plates 23 using the fixing holes 25 and 27 of the clamping portions 22a and the lower mounting plate 23, the bolts 31 and the nuts 32, respectively. . As a result, the connecting member 21 is fixedly installed on the bicycle carrier 20. Then, as shown in FIG. 14, the through hole 8 d of the universal joint 8 of the connection carrier 3 is fitted from above into the joint engagement portion 26 a of the connection pin insertion cylinder 26 of the connection member 21 fixedly installed.

この状態で、連結ピン24の操作部24bの操作ボタン24b1を押しながら、その係止部24aを連結ピン挿入筒26の貫通孔26bに上方から挿通する。連結ピン24が所定位置(ピン24a1が上取付板22の裏面となる位置)まで押し込まれて、操作ボタン24b1の押圧操作を解除すると、ピン24a1がバネの付勢力で初期位置である外周面から所定寸法突出した位置に戻り、この突出したピン24a1が上取付板22の裏面に係止される。これにより、自在継ぎ手8が上取付板22の連結ピン挿入筒26の継ぎ手係合部26aに係止された状態となり、このとき、自在継ぎ手8が水平方向及び垂直方向に所定角度回転自在であることから、連結荷台3が自転車の荷台20に連結部材21を介して所定角度回転自在、すなわち水平方向及び垂直方向に所定角度回転自在に連結されることになる。   In this state, while pressing the operation button 24b1 of the operating portion 24b of the connecting pin 24, the engaging portion 24a is inserted into the through hole 26b of the connecting pin insertion tube 26 from above. When the connecting pin 24 is pushed to a predetermined position (a position where the pin 24a1 becomes the back surface of the upper mounting plate 22) and the pressing operation of the operation button 24b1 is released, the pin 24a1 is moved from the outer peripheral surface which is the initial position by the biasing force of the spring. Returning to a position protruding by a predetermined dimension, the protruding pin 24 a 1 is locked to the back surface of the upper mounting plate 22. As a result, the universal joint 8 is engaged with the joint engaging portion 26a of the connecting pin insertion tube 26 of the upper mounting plate 22, and at this time, the universal joint 8 is rotatable by a predetermined angle in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. For this reason, the connecting platform 3 is connected to the bicycle platform 20 via the connecting member 21 so as to be rotatable at a predetermined angle, that is, to be rotatable at a predetermined angle in the horizontal and vertical directions.

つまり、前記牽引リヤカー1の場合、係止金具2f及び支持ブロック4を利用して、リヤカー本体2の車体2a前端部に、連結荷台3の支柱部3bのフック部材14および支持パイプ17を連結すると共に、この連結荷台3の荷台部3aの自在継ぎ手8を、スタンドで固定されている自転車の荷台20の連結部材21の継ぎ手係合部26aに回転自在に嵌合させて連結ピン24で連結する。これにより、リヤカー本体2が自転車に連結される。この状態で、リヤカー本体2の積載面2b(底板)上に、例えば配達すべき食品が収容された保冷ボックス等を積載すると共に、連結荷台3の積載面6上にも保冷ボックスを積載し、かつリヤカー本体2の棚板2d上に配達時に使用する肩掛けボックス等を積載して、配達員が自転車を配達場所に向けて走行させる。   That is, in the case of the towed rear car 1, the hook member 14 and the support pipe 17 of the support column 3b of the connecting cargo bed 3 are connected to the front end of the vehicle body 2a of the rear car body 2 by using the locking metal fitting 2f and the support block 4. At the same time, the universal joint 8 of the loading platform 3a of the coupled loading platform 3 is rotatably fitted to the coupling engaging portion 26a of the coupling member 21 of the bicycle loading platform 20 fixed by the stand and coupled by the coupling pin 24. . As a result, the rear car body 2 is connected to the bicycle. In this state, on the stacking surface 2b (bottom plate) of the rear car body 2, for example, a cool box containing food to be delivered is loaded, and a cool box is also mounted on the stack surface 6 of the coupled cargo bed 3, In addition, a shoulder box or the like used for delivery is loaded on the shelf 2d of the rear car body 2, and the delivery person runs the bicycle toward the delivery place.

このとき、リヤカー本体2の積載面2bや棚板2d上あるいは連結荷台3の積載面6上に荷物を積載すると、その重量でリヤカー本体2の重量が重くなり、荷物を積載していない場合に比較してリヤカー本体2の高さ位置が低く沈んだ状態となるが、この高さ位置は連結荷台3と自転車の荷台20との連結部分に設けた垂直方向に所定角度回動自在な自在継ぎ手8により吸収される。その結果、荷物の重量による連結荷台3の高さ方向の位置変化は勿論のこと、道路の凹凸による連結荷台3の高さ方向の位置変化も、自在継ぎ手8で良好に吸収されることなる。   At this time, if a load is loaded on the loading surface 2b or shelf plate 2d of the rear car body 2 or the loading surface 6 of the coupled loading platform 3, the weight of the rear car body 2 is increased by that weight, and the load is not loaded. In comparison, the height position of the rear car body 2 is lowered, and this height position is a universal joint which is provided at a connecting portion between the connecting cargo bed 3 and the bicycle cargo bed 20 and is rotatable by a predetermined angle in the vertical direction. 8 is absorbed. As a result, the position change in the height direction of the coupled loading platform 3 due to the unevenness of the road as well as the position variation in the height direction of the coupled loading platform 3 due to the weight of the load is well absorbed by the universal joint 8.

また、配達員が自転車の向きを90度程度変えて走行しようとした場合も、自在継ぎ手8が水平方向に所定角度回転自在であると共に、連結荷台3の積載面6の左右前端側に幅狭部7が設けられていることから、この幅狭部7内に配達員の身体が位置する状態となって、牽引リヤカー1が大きくカーブしようとする場合の、配達員と連結荷台3との接触が防止されることなる。これらにより、リヤカー本体2を連結した場合の、配達員により荷物の配達時に、各種積載状態や走行する道路事情、走行状態等に係わらず自転車による牽引リヤカー1の走行がよりムーズに行えることになる。   Further, when the delivery person tries to travel with the direction of the bicycle changed by about 90 degrees, the universal joint 8 can be rotated by a predetermined angle in the horizontal direction and is narrow on the left and right front end sides of the loading surface 6 of the coupled cargo bed 3. Since the part 7 is provided, the delivery person's body is located in the narrow part 7, and the delivery person contacts the coupled loading platform 3 when the towing rear car 1 is going to be largely curved. Will be prevented. As a result, when the rear car body 2 is connected, the towed rear car 1 can be traveled more smoothly by bicycle regardless of various loading conditions, road conditions, traveling conditions, etc., when the delivery person delivers the luggage. .

一方、配達を終了して牽引リヤカー1を車庫等に保管(駐輪)する場合は、次のようにして行う。すなわち、先ず、中身が空となった保冷ボックスや肩掛けボックス等を積載面2b、6や棚板2d上から降ろし、連結部材21の連結ピン24を図14の矢印ヘの如く上方に引っ張る。この引っ張り時に、操作部24bの操作ボタン24b1を押しながら行うことによりピン24a1が係止部24aの外周面から引っ込んで、ピン24a1と上取付板22との係止状態が解除されて連結ピン24が連結ピン挿入筒26の挿通孔26bから引き抜かれる。   On the other hand, when the delivery is finished and the towing rear car 1 is stored (parked) in a garage or the like, it is performed as follows. That is, first, the cold storage box or the shoulder box whose contents are empty is lowered from the loading surfaces 2b and 6 and the shelf 2d, and the connecting pin 24 of the connecting member 21 is pulled upward as indicated by the arrow in FIG. During this pulling, the pin 24a1 is retracted from the outer peripheral surface of the locking portion 24a by pressing the operation button 24b1 of the operating portion 24b, and the locking state between the pin 24a1 and the upper mounting plate 22 is released, and the connecting pin 24 Is pulled out from the insertion hole 26 b of the connecting pin insertion cylinder 26.

これにより、上取付板22と自在継ぎ手8の係止状態が解除され、この状態で、連結荷台3の前端側を上方に持ち上げることで、自在継ぎ手8が連結ピン挿入筒26の継ぎ手係合部26aから抜き取られ、連結荷台3と連結部材21の連結状態が解除される。なお、連結ピン挿入筒26から引き抜かれた連結ピン24は、上取付板22にワイヤー28で連結されていることから、その紛失が防止された状態となる。   As a result, the locking state of the upper mounting plate 22 and the universal joint 8 is released. In this state, the universal joint 8 is lifted upward so that the universal joint 8 is connected to the joint engaging portion of the connection pin insertion tube 26. 26a is extracted, and the connection state of the connection carrier 3 and the connection member 21 is released. In addition, since the connecting pin 24 pulled out from the connecting pin insertion cylinder 26 is connected to the upper mounting plate 22 by the wire 28, the loss is prevented.

この状態で自転車を所定位置に駐車すると共に、自転車との連結状態が解除された牽引リヤカー1の連結荷台3とリヤカー本体2との連結を解除する。この解除は、先ず、連結荷台3を牽引フレームとして使用して、牽引リヤカー1を所定の保管位置まで移動させ、連結荷台3の支柱部3bのフック部材14の操作レバー14d1を操作して、フック部材14と係止金具2fとの係止状態を解除する。この解除は支持ブロック4の締付ネジ4aを緩めると共に連結荷台3を上方に持ち上げつつ、操作レバー14d1を操作して、フック部材14と係止金具2fの係止状態を解除しつつ、支持パイプ17を支持ブロック4の嵌合孔4bから抜き取ることで行うことができる。   In this state, the bicycle is parked at a predetermined position, and the connection between the connection loading platform 3 of the towed rear car 1 and the rear car body 2 released from the connection state with the bicycle is released. For this release, first, using the coupled cargo bed 3 as a towing frame, the towing rear car 1 is moved to a predetermined storage position, and the operation lever 14d1 of the hook member 14 of the support column portion 3b of the coupled cargo bed 3 is operated. The locked state between the member 14 and the locking bracket 2f is released. This release is achieved by loosening the tightening screw 4a of the support block 4 and lifting the connecting cargo bed 3 upward and operating the operating lever 14d1 to release the locked state of the hook member 14 and the locking bracket 2f. This can be done by removing 17 from the fitting hole 4 b of the support block 4.

そして、リヤカー本体2から分離された連結荷台3のヒンジ16の操作レバー16dを操作して、一対のヒンジ部材16b、16cを屈曲させることで、荷台部3aと支柱部3bが折り畳まれた状態となる。この折り畳んだ連結荷台3を所定位置に保管する。次に、リヤカー本体2の前記背面板側の丸パイプの一端を外すこと等により、リヤカー本体2を折り畳み、連結荷台3と共に所定位置に保管する。   Then, by operating the operation lever 16d of the hinge 16 of the coupled cargo bed 3 separated from the rear car body 2 to bend the pair of hinge members 16b and 16c, the cargo bed portion 3a and the column portion 3b are folded. Become. The folded connection carrier 3 is stored in a predetermined position. Next, the rear car body 2 is folded by storing one end of the round pipe on the back plate side of the rear car body 2 and stored in a predetermined position together with the connecting cargo bed 3.

すなわち、前記牽引リヤカー1の場合、連結荷台3とリヤカー本体2が共に折り畳み可能であることから、その外形形状を小さくした状態で保管できることになる。なお、前記牽引リヤカー1のリヤカー本体2の各板やパイプ、連結荷台3の各パイプ等は、アルミニウム製でその軽量化が図られると共に、連結荷台3の積載面6を形成する各角パイプの表面には荷物滑り止め用の細溝等が形成されている。   That is, in the case of the towed rear car 1, both the coupled cargo bed 3 and the rear car body 2 can be folded, so that the outer shape of the towed rear car 3 can be stored in a small state. The plates and pipes of the rear car body 2 of the towed rear car 1 and the pipes of the connecting cargo bed 3 are made of aluminum to reduce the weight thereof, and each corner pipe forming the loading surface 6 of the connecting cargo bed 3 is made of aluminum. A narrow groove for preventing slipping of luggage is formed on the surface.

このように、前記牽引リヤカー1によれば、連結荷台3の後端部がリヤカー本体2の車体2a前端部に連結され、連結荷台3の前端部が自転車の荷台20に着脱可能及び回転自在に連結されると共に、連結荷台3の上面に平坦な積載面6を有するため、自転車の荷台20上に配置される連結荷台3の積載面6にも荷物を積載することができて、牽引リヤカー1の荷物の積載効率を高めることができる。   As described above, according to the towing rear car 1, the rear end portion of the connecting cargo bed 3 is connected to the front end portion of the vehicle body 2a of the rear car body 2, and the front end portion of the connecting cargo bed 3 is detachable and rotatable on the bicycle cargo bed 20. In addition to being connected and having a flat loading surface 6 on the upper surface of the connection carrier 3, it is possible to load a load on the loading surface 6 of the connection carrier 3 disposed on the bicycle carrier 20, and the tow rear car 1 The loading efficiency of luggage can be increased.

また同時に、比較的大きな面積を確保可能な連結荷台3の積載面6への荷物の積載で、リヤカー本体2の積載面2bへの荷物の積載量を少なくできることから、例えばリヤカー本体2の前後方向の長さを短くできる等、リヤカー本体2の小型化が可能で駐車スペースの小さい場所での使用や保管が容易な牽引リヤカー1を得ることができる。   At the same time, the load on the loading surface 2b of the rear car body 2 can be reduced by loading the load on the loading surface 6 of the coupled loading platform 3 capable of securing a relatively large area. Thus, the towed rear car 1 can be obtained which allows the rear car body 2 to be miniaturized and can be used and stored easily in a small parking space.

また、連結荷台3の積載面6の後端部に下方に延設された支柱部3bを有し、この支柱部3bの下端が係止フック14を介してリヤカー本体2の車体2a前端部の係止金具2fに着脱可能に連結されると共に、支柱部3bが荷台部3aに対して折り畳み可能に構成されているため、連結荷台3をリヤカー本体2や自転車から簡単に取り外しできると共に、連結荷台3を折り畳むことでその外形を小形として、牽引リヤカー1の保管時等のスペースを一層小さくすることができる。   In addition, it has a column portion 3b that extends downward at the rear end portion of the loading surface 6 of the connecting cargo bed 3, and the lower end of the column portion 3b is connected to the front end portion of the vehicle body 2a of the rear car body 2 via a locking hook 14. Since the support bracket 3f is detachably connected to the locking bracket 2f and is configured to be foldable with respect to the loading platform 3a, the coupling loading platform 3 can be easily detached from the rear car body 2 and the bicycle, and the coupled loading platform By folding 3, the outer shape can be reduced, and the space for storing the towed rear car 1 can be further reduced.

さらに、支柱部3bがリヤカー本体2の車体2a前端部に操作レバー14d1の操作により着脱可能に連結されると共に、荷台部3aに対して操作レバー16dの操作により支柱部3bが折り畳み可能であるため、使用時の支柱部3bと荷台部3aとの連結位置関係を安定維持できて、荷台部3aの積載面6への荷物の積載状態を安定させることができると共に、連結荷台3の取り外しや折り畳みを各操作レバー14d1、16dの操作で確実かつ簡単に行うことができて、使い勝手に優れた牽引リヤカー1を得ることができる。   Further, the support column 3b is detachably connected to the front end of the vehicle body 2a of the rear car body 2 by the operation of the operation lever 14d1, and the support column 3b can be folded with respect to the loading platform 3a by the operation of the operation lever 16d. In addition, it is possible to stably maintain the connection positional relationship between the support column 3b and the loading platform 3a during use, to stabilize the loading state of the luggage on the loading surface 6 of the loading platform 3a, and to remove and fold the coupling loading platform 3 Can be reliably and easily performed by operating the operation levers 14d1 and 16d, and the towing rear car 1 excellent in usability can be obtained.

また、連結荷台3がその前端部に設けた自在継ぎ手8を介して自転車の荷台20に水平方向と垂直方向に所定角度回転自在に連結されているため、リヤカー本体2が連結荷台3を介して自転車の走行に良好に追従できて、牽引リヤカー1の安定した走行が可能になる。またさらに、連結荷台3の前端側の左右角部に幅狭部7が設けられているため、自転車のハンドル部分等が連結荷台3に対して90度近くまで回転した場合でも、自転車を操作する配達員の身体の連結荷台3への接触を防止できて、牽引リヤカー1の一層安定した走行が可能になる。   Further, since the coupled cargo bed 3 is connected to the bicycle cargo bed 20 via a universal joint 8 provided at the front end thereof so as to be rotatable at a predetermined angle in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, the rear car body 2 is connected via the coupled cargo bed 3. It is possible to follow the bicycle traveling well, and the towing rear car 1 can stably travel. Furthermore, since the narrow portion 7 is provided at the left and right corners on the front end side of the coupled cargo bed 3, the bicycle is operated even when the handle portion of the bicycle is rotated to nearly 90 degrees with respect to the coupled cargo bed 3. It is possible to prevent the delivery person's body from coming into contact with the coupled carrier 3, and the towed rear car 1 can travel more stably.

また、リヤカー本体2が折り畳み可能であるため、牽引リヤカー1の保管時に、リヤカー本体2を折り畳むことでその外形を小形として、牽引リヤカー1の保管時のスペースをより一層小さくすることができる。また、連結部材21の連結ピン24の操作部24bに、上方から押圧操作可能な操作ボタン24b1が設けられると共に、ワイヤー28により上取付板22に連結されているため、連結ピン24の脱着操作を簡単に行うことができると共に、連結ピン24自体の紛失を防いで、一層使い勝手に優れた牽引リヤカー1を得ることができる。   Further, since the rear car body 2 can be folded, the outer shape of the rear car body 2 can be reduced by folding the rear car body 2 when the towing rear car 1 is stored, and the space for storing the towing rear car 1 can be further reduced. Further, the operation portion 24b of the connection pin 24 of the connection member 21 is provided with an operation button 24b1 that can be pressed from above, and is connected to the upper mounting plate 22 by the wire 28. The pulling rear car 1 can be obtained easily and can be easily performed, and the connecting pin 24 itself can be prevented from being lost.

なお、前記実施形態においては、連結荷台3が荷台部3aと支柱部3bを有してこれらを折り畳み可能に構成したが、本発明はこの構成に限定されず、例えば支柱部3bに相当する部材を予めリヤカー本体2の前端部に固定し、これに荷台部3aを有する連結荷台3を着脱可能に配設することもできるし、荷台部3aをリヤカー本体2に予め固定的に配設することもできる。また、前記実施形態においては、連結荷台3のリヤカー本体2からの着脱および荷台部3aと支柱部3bの折り畳みを、操作レバー14d1、16dの手動操作で行うようにしたが、例えば所定の力を加えることで自動的に着脱できたり折り畳みできる適宜の構成を採用することもできる。   In addition, in the said embodiment, although the connection loading platform 3 had the loading platform part 3a and the support | pillar part 3b, and comprised these so that these could be folded, this invention is not limited to this structure, For example, the member corresponded to the support | pillar part 3b Can be fixed to the front end portion of the rear car body 2 in advance, and the connected loading platform 3 having the loading platform portion 3a can be detachably disposed thereon, or the loading platform portion 3a can be fixedly disposed on the rear car body 2 in advance. You can also. Further, in the above embodiment, the connecting platform 3 is detached from the rear car body 2 and the loading platform 3a and the column 3b are folded manually by operating the operation levers 14d1 and 16d. In addition, an appropriate configuration that can be automatically attached and detached or folded can be employed.
