The car split body 2 is integrally formed of a hard synthetic resin and includes front and rear side walls 2A, 2A, side walls 2B and a bottom wall 2C, and upper end portions of the front and rear side walls 2A, 2A and the side walls 2B. An outwardly facing flange portion 4 is protruded from the edge to improve the strength of the car split body 2 against deformation. Also,
One locking projection 5 is provided on each of the inner side surfaces of the front and rear side walls 2A, 2A and near the upper portion of the opening edge 2D of the side opening.

The connecting member 3 is integrally formed of a hard synthetic resin, and the bottom wall 2 of the pair of cage members 2, 2 is formed.
C, 2C Bottom wall 3A that straddles the lower surface, and cage split
Outer side walls 3B, 3B, which straddle and contact the outer side surfaces of the front and rear side walls 2A, 2A, respectively, are formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section,
Furthermore, the side walls 3B, 3B extend from the upper edge of the outer walls 3B, 3B.
Inner side walls 3C, 3C are provided to be inwardly turned over and in contact with the inner side surfaces of the front and rear side walls 2A, 2A of the car split body 2, 2, respectively, so that the outer side wall 3B and the inner side wall 3C A holding space 3D is provided with a slit space provided therebetween. On the inner walls 3C, 3C,
A plurality of connecting holes 6 (two in each case on the left and right in the present embodiment) are provided in the width direction in which the locking projections 5 provided on the front and rear side walls 2A, 2A of the car divided body 2 are fitted.

When the divided bodies 2, 2 configured as described above are connected to the connecting body 3, the side opening edge 2D of one of the divided bodies 2 is connected to the holding portion 3D from one side of the connecting body 3. Then, the locking projection 5 on the side of the divided body 2A is fitted and fixed to an appropriate one of the plurality of connection holes 6 provided in the connection body 3. Similarly, the other divided body 2 is fitted and fixed to the other side of the connecting body 3. Then, by appropriately selecting the connection hole 6 and fitting the locking projection 5, as shown by a solid line and a two-dot chain line in FIG.
The width of 1 can be scaled.

In the drawings, reference numerals 8 and 9 denote mounting brackets for mounting and fixing the car 1 to the bicycle C.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, one end of the metal fitting 8 is fixed to a mounting hole 7 formed in the rear outer wall 3B of the connecting body 3 by a fixing means (not shown) such as a screw or a screw, and the other end is fixed. It is fixed to the frame of the bicycle C. One end of the metal fitting 9 is fixed to a mounting hole (not shown) provided in the bottom wall 3A of the connecting body 3, and the other end is fixed to a frame of the bicycle C.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the flange 4 may not be provided, and the connection structure between the divided body 2 and the connected body 3 and other structures may be appropriately changed in design. be able to. 4 to 6 show a specific example of attaching the car of the present invention to a bicycle.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4 to FIG.
A cover 10 is provided on the bicycle, and a receiver 11 on which the car 1 is detachably fitted is attached to the bicycle C, so that the car 1 can be used as a portable basket (a toy box for a child bicycle). Can be. The lid 10 is pivotally connected to the upper side edge of the rear outer wall 3B of the connector 3 via a hinge 12, and the free end of the lid 10 is connected to the front outer wall 3B of the connector 3
Is provided with an engaging portion 14 that engages with the locking projection 13 provided to close the lid 10. In addition, a handle is provided on the upper surface of the lid 10.
15 are provided. Furthermore, the front outer wall 3B of the connecting body 3
A concave groove 16 having an arc-shaped cross section extending in the lateral width direction is provided on the outer surface of the.

The receiver 11 has front and rear sides 11A, 11A and a bottom 11A.
It is formed in a substantially U-shape when viewed from the side from B, and holds the connecting body 3 in a supporting manner from below. Also, this receiver
Numeral 11 has elasticity, and the interval between the front and rear sides 11A, 11A expands and contracts in the front and rear direction. The upper end edge of the front side portion 11A of the receiving body 11 is formed in a column shape having an axial center in the width direction so as to engage with the concave groove 16. The attachment of the receiver 11 to the bicycle C is performed by using the attachment fittings 8 and 9 as in FIG.

In a state in which the car 1 is attached to the receiver 11, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. When the car 1 is to be removed, the handle 15 is pulled forward and upward (in the direction of the arrow in the drawing), and as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG.
The front part 11A of 11 falls slightly forward, and the front and rear parts 11A, 11A
Because of the increased spacing, it can be easily removed. Further, when the car 1 is fitted to the receiver 11, it is only necessary to fit it from above. As shown in FIG. 6, if the connecting member 3 and the receiving member 11 are formed in a tapered shape in a side view, the attachment and detachment are further facilitated.
