However, it is not designed to introduce outside air when it rains, but introduces outside air after the rain stops, and means for introducing outside air when it rains is not disclosed.

  In addition, the size of the child seat cover is also important for comfort. The conventional child seat cover has an upper edge of the child seat cover at the height of the upper end of the child seat, and is not provided with an upper edge at a position higher than the height of the upper end of the child seat. For this reason, the infant's head often becomes cramped. In particular, this problem is remarkable in the front child seat that is provided at a low position even if the headrest is not provided or is provided.

  Further, even if rain protection is provided for the infant in the child seat cover, it is necessary to separately provide rain protection for the driver outside the child seat cover. In particular, the palm part where the driver grips the steering wheel is close to the front child seat cover and can be protected from rain together with the infant in the cover, but the front child seat cover considering such rain protection is disclosed. Was not.

(Overall configuration of bicycle child seat cover)
FIG. 1 is a view showing a bicycle child seat cover. The bicycle child seat cover 1 includes a side surface portion 2, a front upper surface portion 3, a back surface portion 4, and a front surface portion 5. The back portion 4 is on the side indicated by B in the drawing and is not shown in the drawing because it is the back side of the bicycle child seat cover 1. The front upper surface portion 3 is connected to the rear surface portion 4 and joined to the side surface portion 2 and the front surface portion 5 by a fastener 6 so as to be detachable. The figure shows a state in which the fastener 6 is closed. The boundary between the side surface portion 2 (opaque portion 2b) and the front surface portion 5 is indicated by a dotted line in the figure, but the side surface portion 2 (opaque portion 2b) and the front surface portion 5 are composed of a single sheet body and the boundary is visually recognized. Not.

  The side surface portion 2 has a transparent transparent portion 2a for daylighting made of vinyl and an opaque opaque portion 2b made of nylon. An air port 22 is provided at the boundary between the daylighting transparent portion 2a and the opaque portion 2b. Moreover, it has the external air introduction hole 23 in the transparent part 2a for lighting. The outside air introduction hole 23 is covered with a rain guard 24.

  The front upper surface portion 3 is made of vinyl and is transparent, has a ceiling portion 31, and has a button 32 on a side portion. The button 32 is provided on a quadrangular sheet that protrudes from the periphery toward the upper surface. The ceiling part 31 has a button 33 on a side part. When the fastener 6 is opened and the front upper surface portion 3 is lifted to open the cover, the front upper surface portion 3 is fixed to the ceiling portion 31 on the back surface side by engaging the button 32 and the button 33.

  The positions of the button 32 and the button 33 may be different from the positions shown in the figure. For example, the button 32 may be provided on the front end of the front upper surface portion 3 and the button 33 may be provided on the rear surface portion 4. In this case, the front upper surface portion 3 is fixed around the back surface portion.

  The side surface portion 2 is provided with a handle penetrating cut 51, and the handle 7 and the brake lever 71 protrude outside the bicycle child seat cover 1. In the rear child seat cover, the handle penetration notch 51 is unnecessary.

(Improving habitability with support materials)
FIG. 2 is a view showing the inside of the bicycle child seat cover. It is the figure which looked at the cross section of the dotted-line location in FIG. 1 in the A direction. The back part 4 exists in the back of the child seat 8. FIG.

  Three support members 41 a, 41 b and 41 c are provided on the back surface portion 4. The support material 41 is a metal plate included in the sheet-like back surface portion 4. The back surface portion 4 is lifted above the headrest 81 by the support material 41, and the ceiling portion 31 connected to the back surface portion 4 is also disposed above. A space for the infant's head is formed above the headrest 81, improving comfortability.

  The height of the living space on the seat surface of the child seat is expanded from H ′ to H in the drawing by the support member 41. In the front child seat cover with a small H ', the comfortability improvement effect is great. Moreover, in the rear child seat cover, even if H is increased, the driving is not hindered, so that a sufficient height can be obtained. H can be designed according to the length of the support member 41.

  When the back surface part 4 is lifted above the headrest 81, the side surface part 2 also extends upward. A transparent portion 2a for lighting is provided above the side surface portion 2, and more light can be collected in the portion of the infant's face above the headrest 81. Also in this respect, comfort is improved.

  FIG. 3 is a view showing the back surface of the bicycle child seat cover. The support member 41 extends downward from the upper end of the headrest 81 as shown in the figure. Since the presence / absence and height of the headrest 81 are different for each child seat, it is preferable that the headrest 81 can be extended downward to handle all child seats.

  Note that the support material 41 may not be a metal plate. The back surface part 4 should just be lifted upwards and may be stabilized. The material may be plastic or the like, and the shape may be a linear shape (for example, a wire) instead of a plate shape. Moreover, two or four or more may be sufficient instead of three.

(Improved habitability by introducing outside air)
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an air port. In addition, since the transparent part 2a for lighting and the opaque part 2b are large with respect to a figure, it has shown limiting to the location of the air port 22. FIG. However, you may provide the air port 22 over the whole transparent part 2a for lighting and the opaque part 2b. Moreover, although the lower end of the transparent part 2a for lighting and the upper end of the opaque part 2b are linear, it is drawn with the curve for the visibility of a figure.

  The daylighting transparent portion 2a, which is the upper sheet body, is superimposed on the opaque portion 2b, which is the lower sheet body. In the superimposition, the transparent part 2a for daylighting is arranged on the outside (side away from the child seat 8). In rainy weather, the daylighting transparent part 2a functions as a rain guard, and rain does not enter the cover from between the daylighting transparent part 2a and the opaque part 2b.

  The light-transparent transparent portion 2a and the opaque portion 2b are stitched together, but the stitching is performed only at the stitching portion 22a provided intermittently (for example, at an interval of 10 cm). In the air circulation part 22b other than the stitching part 22a. Air circulates between the transparent part 2a for lighting and the opaque part 2b. Outside air can be introduced into the cover.

  In addition, about the sewing part 2a, you may engage the transparent part 2a for lighting and the opaque part 2b by adhesion | attachment, button fastening, etc. instead of sewing. Further, the length of the transparent portion 2a for lighting and the opaque portion 2b between the adjacent suture portions 2a may be made unequal to increase the cross-sectional area of the air circulation portion 22b.
