It is formed. The front end frame member 51 is a cylindrical member located forward so as to be placed on the front upper frame member 11 constituting the front frame member 10 when in use and when the lid portion L is closed. The rear end frame member 52 is a member disposed parallel to the front end frame member 51, and is a cylindrical member located at the rear when the lid portion L is closed during use. The side end frame members 53 and 54 are members having a substantially inverted L-shaped cross section located at the ends in the width direction, and the rear end portions are pivotably supported with respect to the rotating portion 60 so as to be rotatable with respect to each other. By fixing both ends of the front end frame member 51 and the rear end frame member 52 to the side end frame members 53 and 54, the front end frame member 51, the rear end frame member 52, and the set of side end frame members 53 and 54 A region of the top surface constituted by the lid body 50 is defined.

As shown in FIG. 11(b), the lid net member N3 is a substantially rectangular member in a plan view, and has a cylindrical upper end and a lower end and is coupled to a frame member. Then, the front end frame member 51 is inserted into the cylindrical part formed by folding back one end and joining the members together, and the front end frame member 51 is formed by folding back the other end and joining the members together. By inserting the rear end frame member 52 into the cylindrical portion, the area of the top surface defined by the front end frame member 51, the rear end frame member 52, and a pair of side end frame members 53 and 54 is covered. Note that the members of the lid net member N3 are specifically joined together by sewing, fusing, or the like, but are not limited thereto.

The rotating portion 60 has a plurality of (three in this embodiment) horizontal frame members 61, 62, 63 extending in the width direction at predetermined intervals in the depth direction. It is formed by being fixed to provided vertical frame members 64 and 65. Note that no net member is provided in the rotating portion 60.

The front end portions of the vertical frame members 64 and 65 provided at both ends in the width direction are rotatably supported relative to the rear end portions of the side end frame members 53 and 54 of the lid main body 50.

The horizontal frame member 63 located at the rear end is disposed so as to be located directly above the rear upper frame member 21 that constitutes the upper end side of the back frame member 20, and is connected to the rear upper frame member 21 by a joint member c61. , c62.

The predetermined intervals at which the horizontal frame members 61, 62, and 63 are arranged are set to ensure a distance (approximately 0.5 to 1.5 cm) that prevents bird beaks and small animals from entering through the gaps. In addition, the horizontal frame members 61, 62, and 63 are arranged so that the depth D of the main body H when folded (see FIG. 8(b)) and the distance between the horizontal frame members 61 and 63 substantially match. is set.

If the rotating member is constructed using a net member, since the rotating member 60 is a small member that constitutes the rear end side of the lid portion L, it would be difficult to use a net member for that purpose due to manufacturing reasons. It is also time consuming. In this embodiment, since the rotating member 60 is constituted by a plurality of horizontal frame members 61, 62, and 63 without using a net member, the material constituting the net member can be saved.
