As shown in FIG. The open fastener 6 can be vertically separated into two by releasing the connection between the upper end side and the lower end side of the auxiliary cover portion 3 .

即ち、スライダー６ｃ・６ｃを背面側に移動させ、務歯６ｂ・６ｂ同士の噛み合いを解除することで、オープンファスナー６が上下方向に分離する。これにより、補助カバー部３を伸長状態に変更することが可能となる。一方、上下の務歯６ｂ・６ｂを互いに近づけた状態で、スライダー６ｃ・６ｃを正面側に移動させ、務歯６ｂ・６ｂ同士の噛み合わせることで、オープンファスナー６が一体となる。これにより、補助カバー部３を収納状態に変更することが可能となる。 That is, the open fastener 6 is vertically separated by moving the sliders 6c, 6c to the rear side to release the engagement between the coupling teeth 6b, 6b. As a result, the auxiliary cover portion 3 can be changed to the extended state. On the other hand, with the upper and lower coupling teeth 6b, 6b brought closer to each other, the sliders 6c, 6c are moved to the front side, and the coupling teeth 6b, 6b are meshed with each other, whereby the open fastener 6 is integrated. As a result, the auxiliary cover portion 3 can be changed to the retracted state.

詳述すれば、オープンファスナー６は、スライダー６ｃ・６ｃを両端の務歯６ｂ・６ｂまで移動させて、全ての務歯６ｂ・６ｂの噛合を解除したときに上下方向で二つに分離可能なファスナーである。補助カバー部３の上端側に備えられるオープンファスナー６の務歯６ｂは、補助カバー部３が伸長状態のときには下方を向くように設けられている。一方、補助カバー部３の下端側に備えられるオープンファスナー６の務歯６ｂは、補助カバー部３が伸長状態のときには上方を向くように設けられている。このように、補助カバー部３が伸長状態のときには、オープンファスナー６の務歯６ｂ・６ｂ同士が向き合って操作容易になっている。 More specifically, the open fastener 6 can be vertically separated into two when the sliders 6c, 6c are moved to the coupling teeth 6b, 6b at both ends and all the coupling teeth 6b, 6b are disengaged. Fastener. The engaging teeth 6b of the open fastener 6 provided on the upper end side of the auxiliary cover portion 3 are provided so as to face downward when the auxiliary cover portion 3 is in the extended state. On the other hand, the engaging teeth 6b of the open fastener 6 provided on the lower end side of the auxiliary cover portion 3 are provided so as to face upward when the auxiliary cover portion 3 is in the extended state. In this manner, when the auxiliary cover portion 3 is in the extended state, the coupling teeth 6b of the open fastener 6 are opposed to each other to facilitate operation.

上記の如く、カバー１においては、かご１０に収納する荷物がかご１０の高さより高いときには、オープンファスナー６のスライダー６ｃを操作してオープンファスナー６を分離し、図２及び図５に示す如く補助カバー部３を伸張状態とすることができる。一方、荷物がかご１０の高さより低いときや、かご１０に荷物を収納しないときには、オープンファスナー６を閉じて、図１及び図６に示す如く補助カバー部３を収納状態とすることができる。 As described above, in the cover 1, when the cargo to be stored in the basket 10 is higher than the height of the basket 10, the slider 6c of the open fastener 6 is operated to separate the open fastener 6, and the open fastener 6 is assisted as shown in FIGS. The cover part 3 can be put into an extended state. On the other hand, when the baggage is lower than the height of the basket 10 or when the baggage is not stored in the basket 10, the open fastener 6 is closed and the auxiliary cover part 3 can be placed in the stored state as shown in FIGS.

本実施形態に係るカバー１において、補助カバー部３には、補助カバー部３の上下方向の中途部を補助カバー部３の内側に縮径させる縮径部材が設けられる。具体的に、補助カバー部３の内周面には、縮径部材として、伸縮可能な弾性体１２が設けられている。本実施形態において弾性体１２には防水性を有するゴム材が用いられる。図２から図４に示す如く、弾性体１２は環状に形成されるとともに、補助カバー部３の周方向に沿って、補助カバー部３の中途部に設けられる。 In the cover 1 according to the present embodiment, the auxiliary cover portion 3 is provided with a diameter reducing member for reducing the diameter of the vertical middle portion of the auxiliary cover portion 3 toward the inner side of the auxiliary cover portion 3 . Specifically, an elastic body 12 that can expand and contract is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the auxiliary cover portion 3 as a diameter reducing member. In this embodiment, a waterproof rubber material is used for the elastic body 12 . As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 , the elastic body 12 is formed in an annular shape and is provided in the middle of the auxiliary cover portion 3 along the circumferential direction of the auxiliary cover portion 3 .

本実施形態に係るカバー１によれば、補助カバー部３を収納状態として、補助カバー部３の上端側と下端側をオープンファスナー６で連結しようとした際に、図６に示す如く弾性体１２が補助カバー部３の中途部を内側に縮径させてオープンファスナー６から離間させる。これにより、上下の務歯６ｂ・６ｂを互いに近づけた状態においては、補助カバー部３の中途部が務歯６ｂ・６ｂから離間されるため、補助カバー部３の一部がオープンファスナー６に噛みこまれることがない。即ち、本実施形態に係るカバー１においては、オープンファスナー６に補助カバー部３の一部が噛みこまれることを防止することができる。 According to the cover 1 according to the present embodiment, when the auxiliary cover portion 3 is in the stored state and the upper end side and the lower end side of the auxiliary cover portion 3 are to be connected with the open fastener 6, the elastic body 12 as shown in FIG. reduces the diameter of the middle part of the auxiliary cover part 3 inward and separates it from the open fastener 6. - 特許庁As a result, when the upper and lower coupling teeth 6b, 6b are brought close to each other, the intermediate portion of the auxiliary cover portion 3 is separated from the coupling teeth 6b, 6b, so that a part of the auxiliary cover portion 3 engages the open fastener 6. I never get caught. That is, in the cover 1 according to this embodiment, it is possible to prevent part of the auxiliary cover portion 3 from being caught in the open fastener 6 .

なお、本実施形態において、縮径部材として弾性体１２を用いているが、補助カバー部３の中途部を内側に縮径させる構成であれば、他の素材を用いることも可能である。例えば、重力や磁力を用いて補助カバー部３の中途部を内側に引っ張る構成とすることも可能である。 In this embodiment, the elastic body 12 is used as the diameter reducing member, but other materials may be used as long as the diameter of the intermediate portion of the auxiliary cover portion 3 is reduced inward. For example, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the middle portion of the auxiliary cover portion 3 is pulled inward using gravity or magnetic force.

また、本実施形態においては弾性体１２を環状に形成し、補助カバー部３の周方向に沿って設けている。これにより、補助カバー部３の中途部を全体的に縮径させることができるため、効果的に補助カバー部３の噛みこみを防止することが可能となる。なお、縮径部材によって補助カバー部３の中途部のうち一部を内側に引っ張ることにより、補助カバー部３の中途部を縮径させる構成とすることも可能である。 Further, in this embodiment, the elastic body 12 is formed in an annular shape and provided along the circumferential direction of the auxiliary cover portion 3 . As a result, since the diameter of the intermediate portion of the auxiliary cover portion 3 can be reduced as a whole, it is possible to effectively prevent the auxiliary cover portion 3 from being caught. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the diameter of the intermediate portion of the auxiliary cover portion 3 is reduced by pulling a portion of the intermediate portion of the auxiliary cover portion 3 inward with a diameter-reducing member.

また、本実施形態の如く、縮径部材である弾性体１２は、補助カバー部３の上下方向の中央部に設けられることが好ましい。これにより、補助カバー部３の上端側と下端側をオープンファスナー６で連結しようとした際に、補助カバー部３が上側又は下側でだぶつくことがない。即ち、オープンファスナー６に噛みこまれることをより効果的に防止できる。 Further, as in the present embodiment, the elastic body 12, which is a diameter-reducing member, is preferably provided in the center portion of the auxiliary cover portion 3 in the vertical direction. As a result, when the upper end side and the lower end side of the auxiliary cover part 3 are connected with the open fastener 6, the auxiliary cover part 3 does not become loose on the upper side or the lower side. That is, it is possible to more effectively prevent the open fastener 6 from being bitten.

また、カバー１においては、縮径部材による縮径方向の力を調節可能とされることが好ましい。例えば、弾性体１２の径を調節可能とすることにより、補助カバー部３の中途部を内側に縮径させる力を調節することが可能となる。これにより、補助カバー部３の素材や使用方法に応じて、収納状態における補助カバー部３の開口の大きさ（図４を参照）を調節することが可能となる。 Further, in the cover 1, it is preferable that the force in the diameter reducing direction by the diameter reducing member can be adjusted. For example, by making the diameter of the elastic body 12 adjustable, it is possible to adjust the force for contracting the diameter of the intermediate portion of the auxiliary cover portion 3 inward. This makes it possible to adjust the size of the opening of the auxiliary cover portion 3 in the stored state (see FIG. 4) according to the material and usage of the auxiliary cover portion 3. FIG.
