The material of the elastic body is not particularly limited as long as it has an elastic restoring property for a relatively long period of time. For example, steel including spring steel, stainless steel wire, or synthetic resin may be used. Furthermore, it is preferable that the elastic body can be wound in a spiral shape or a spiral shape by elastic deformation around the axis and / or bending elastic deformation in the axial direction.
[0010]
The umbrella cloth only needs to be formed of a non-permeable cloth-like body, for example, a synthetic resin sheet such as vinyl chloride or polyethylene, or a waterproof or water-repellent canvas (canvas) or the like may be used. Among these cloth-like bodies, it is preferable to use a transparent synthetic resin sheet that does not obstruct the driver's view. Further, as described above, the umbrella cloth needs to have flexibility so that it can be compacted by being folded or wound together with the umbrella bone when the umbrella bone is elastically deformed.
[0011]
The locking means may be configured to support the umbrella cloth in a compacted state by folding or winding it on the backrest and / or the umbrella bone. Or a hook connected to the upper frame of the umbrella cloth or backrest via a strip and a ring supported by the strip or the umbrella cloth and the hook is engaged or disengaged. It can be configured with a male and female button-type snap fastener fixed with a rest. The strip is not particularly limited, but is preferably supported by, for example, tying or adhering to an upper frame or a vertical frame of an umbrella cloth or a backrest in order to prevent loss.
[0012]
In the present invention, the umbrella cloth is configured to include a canopy portion covering from above the loading platform, and a banner portion hanging from the periphery of the canopy portion. You may enable it to protect a loading platform and the load on a loading platform. In this case, when the banner portion is divided so that a part of the banner portion can be rolled up, and a banner lock means for locking the portion of the rolled banner portion to the canopy portion or the banner portion is provided, It is possible to prevent the rain from blowing from other parts by opening only a part of the curtain part and opening a mouth for loading and unloading the luggage. In the present invention, if necessary, the umbrella bone and the umbrella cloth are accommodated in a small size, so that the umbrella bone can be formed to be bent or stretchable, or can be divided and formed to be able to be added. .
