The cargo cover described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a lid, which is different in type from the present invention, but has an opening at the lower end, and the opening is directed downward from above the cargo. The cargo cover described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 2 that completely covers the whole is of the same type.
In the present invention, similarly to the latter type, an opening is provided at the lower end of the main body, and the opening is directed downward to cover the entire baggage housed inside the cargo bag. An object of the present invention is to propose a cargo cover that can be changed and to easily change its internal volume.

This is because in the device described in Patent Document 2, the amount of luggage stored in the luggage was not considered at all.
In other words, in the case where the cargo protrudes from the cargo, the cargo cover described in Patent Document 2 cannot cover the lower end of the cargo with its lower end so that the entire cargo can be covered. In order to cope with this problem, if the cover is formed with a long upper and lower length in advance, this time, the luggage will be placed inside the luggage. In the fully stored state, the lower end portion of the cover hangs down from the lower end portion of the cargo, and as a result, the lower end portion of the cover touches the tire to cause fouling.
In order to solve this, when trying to use the cargo cover described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the attachment cannot be performed instantaneously. Therefore, when the guerrilla heavy rain or the like is encountered during shopping, it is not in time. It is.

Furthermore, in the present invention, as described above, in order to take measures against guerrilla heavy rain that has frequently occurred in recent years, when encountering this guerrilla heavy rain, etc. during shopping, it is very easily and immediately carried along with the internal luggage. The object is to provide a cargo cover that can be covered, and therefore it is appropriate to fold it small when not in use.
Therefore, it is also an object of the present invention to provide a cargo cover that can be folded small when not in use.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the first of the present invention comprises a bag-shaped main body having an opening at the lower end, and the entire cargo bag attached to the bicycle with the opening facing downward is provided inside. In the bicycle luggage cover that can be covered with the baggage from above, the main body includes a front-side sheet member having a substantially rectangular shape, a back-side sheet member having substantially the same shape as the front-side sheet member, and these It consists of a substantially rectangular collar sheet member disposed on each side edge, and each collar sheet member is folded with the central vertical direction as a fold, and the upper edge of the front sheet member and the back sheet member At the same time, the entire upper edge of the buttock sheet member is bonded together at the same time as the bonding of the upper edge, and the both side edges of the buttock sheet member are the longitudinal side edges of the front and back sheet members. Glued to this The main body portion has an opening at the lower end, and in the folded state, it has a flat shape, becomes a box shape in a state where it can be spread and cover the cargo, and the main body portion is folded into a flat shape, In each of the two folded buttock sheet members, at least a pair of locking members are provided at corresponding positions on the upper portion of the overlapping surface of the buttock sheet members, and the at least one pair of locking members are engaged with each other. By stopping, when the main body is widened, the internal volume of the main body is limited to a small size, and a stretchable elastic member is provided on the whole or a part of the lower peripheral edge of the main body to provide a lower end opening. It is a bicycle luggage cover characterized in that the opening of the bicycle can be expanded and contracted.

  Here, in the front side seat member and the back side seat member, the front side and the back side mean the front direction side of the bicycle and the back side means the opposite direction side in use (the same applies hereinafter).

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bicycle luggage cover according to the first aspect, wherein the pair of locking members are fastening hooks or hook-and-loop fasteners.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, a notch portion is provided upward from a lower end central portion of the backside seat member, and the notch portion is provided on a bicycle handle post. A bicycle luggage cover characterized by being adapted to a support portion.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the above-described third aspect, a reinforcing tape is provided at a peripheral edge portion of the notch portion, and an elastic member provided at the lower end portion of the main body portion is provided at a portion other than the notch portion. It is a cargo handling cover for bicycles.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the bicycle luggage cover according to any one of the above-mentioned inventions, wherein the main body portion is made of a flexible synthetic resin transparent sheet.

  In the first one of the present invention, the main body portion is composed of a front side sheet member, a back side sheet member, and a collar sheet member disposed on each of both side edges, and each collar sheet member is The upper edge of the buttock sheet member is bonded together with the upper edge of the front side and the back sheet member, and both side edges of the buttock sheet member are the front and back sheet members. Adhered to the vertical side edge, the main body has an opening at the lower end, forms a flat shape when folded, and exhibits a box shape in a state where it can be spread and covered with cargo. These components can be easily manufactured.

And the main body is folded into a flat shape, and in each of the two folded fold sheet members, at least a pair of locking members are provided at corresponding positions of the upper portion of the overlapping surface of the ridge sheet member, By locking these pair of locking members to each other, when the main body is expanded, the internal volume of the main body is limited to be small.
That is, the internal volume of the main body portion is reduced in a state where the locking members are locked to each other, and the internal volume of the main body portion is maximized in a state where these locking members are opened to each other.

As described above, the reason why the internal volume can be changed is that a large load is stored in the luggage, or a large amount of luggage is stored and these luggage protrudes from the upper opening of the luggage. This is because the vertical length of the cargo cover needs to be made larger than the vertical length of the cargo bag so that the entire cargo and the cargo can be covered.

On the other hand, when there is little baggage to be stored and the baggage is inside the cargo, if the vertical length of the cargo cover is larger than the vertical length of the cargo, the lower end of the cargo cover is The lower end of the cargo cover touches the tire and gets dirty. Or the problem of touching and damaging a tire arises.
In order to solve such a problem, a cargo cover according to the present invention has been invented.
That is, simply locking the locking members together as described above reduces the internal volume, and as a result, the lower end portion of the cargo cover is prevented from hanging down from the lower end of the cargo bag. Therefore, the lower end portion of the cargo cover is not soiled.

  The second aspect of the present invention embodies the above-mentioned pair of locking members, and specifies that a fastening hook that can be locked at a point, a hook-and-loop fastener that can be locked linearly, and the like can be used. is there.

The state which bent the upper part of the part is illustrated.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an exploded explanatory view of one embodiment of a cargo cover according to the present invention. In this figure, for convenience of illustration, the vertical direction in the upper and lower directions is represented as horizontal, U in the figure indicates the upward direction, and D in the figure indicates the downward direction. Hereinafter, the horizontal direction will be described as the vertical (vertical) direction.

The main body portion of the cargo cover according to the present invention includes a front sheet member 11, a back sheet member 12, and collar sheet members 13 and 14 disposed on both side edges of both.
These components are all formed from a transparent EVA resin (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer).

The front sheet member 11 and the back sheet member 12 have substantially the same shape, and both have a substantially rectangular shape.
The collar sheet members 13 and 14 are disposed on both side edges (upper and lower side edges in the figure) of the front side and back side sheet members 11 and 12, respectively.

The buttocks sheet members 13 and 14 have a vertically long and substantially rectangular shape, and are provided with folds 13f and 14f in the center longitudinal direction, and are folded in two along the folds 13f and 14f.
The folds 13f and 14f of the fold-backed sheet members 13 and 14 are disposed inside, that is, symmetrically and bonded (thermally welded) to the front side sheet member 11 and the back side sheet member 12.

  That is, the upper edge portion 13u of the collar sheet member 13 is bonded to the upper edge portion 12u of the back sheet member 12, and the upper edge portion 13v of the collar sheet member 13 is bonded to the upper edge portion 11u of the front sheet member 11. The upper edge portion 14u of the collar sheet member 14 is bonded to the upper edge portion 12u of the back sheet member 12, and the upper edge portion 14v of the collar sheet member 14 is bonded to the upper edge portion 11u of the front sheet member 11. Is done.

  On the other hand, the lower edge 13s of the collar sheet member 13 is adhered to the lower edge 12s of the back sheet member 12, and the lower edge 13t of the collar sheet member 13 is adhered to the lower edge 11s of the front sheet member 11. The lower edge portion 14s of the collar sheet member 14 is adhered to the lower edge portion 12s of the back sheet member 12, and the lower edge portion 14t of the collar sheet member 14 is adhered to the lower edge portion 11s of the front sheet member 11. Is done.

In this way, the main body of the cargo cover shown in FIG. 2 (A) is formed.
2A and 2B illustrate the above-described embodiment, in which FIG. 2A is a perspective view and FIG. 2B is an explanatory bottom view on the opening side.
The entire cargo cover according to the present invention is formed by adhering appropriate portions of the constituent members shown in FIG.

As can be seen from the perspective view of FIG. 2 (A), the front sheet member 11 is located on the back side of the paper, and the back sheet member 12 is located on the front side of the paper. Is arranged.
Further, a notch 16 is formed upward from the center of the lower end of the back side sheet member 12, and this notch 16 is a portion to which a front side support part on the back side of the front side of the bicycle fits.

  A reinforcing tape 18 is sewn to the peripheral edge of the notch 16, and the reinforcing tape 18 covers both the upper surface and the lower surface of the peripheral edge of the notch 16 using a cloth-like elongated tape. Provided.

In FIG. 2A, the illustration of an elastic member such as a rubber cord to be provided at the lower peripheral edge of the main body is omitted for clarity of the configuration of the lower end.
That is, at the lower end of this figure, the structure of the front side sheet member 11, the back side sheet member 12, and the collar sheet members 13 and 14 on both sides appears clearly.

A pair of locking members 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, which is a characteristic part of the present invention, are provided in the upper part of each overlapping surface of the buttocks sheet members 13, 14. ing.
The pair of locking members 21 and 21 (the other locking members 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, and 24 have the same configuration) are formed from male and female fastening hooks. By locking the male and female fastening hooks to each other, the buttock seat members 13 and 14 overlapped at the portions of these fastening hooks are not expanded.

As a result, even if the main body is expanded, the inner volume thereof is not widened at the portion where the locking members 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24 are locked, Its internal volume is limited to a small size. This will be described in more detail with reference to the subsequent figures.
FIG. 2B is a bottom view of a state in which an elastic member such as a rubber string is inserted into the lower end portion excluding the notch 16 of the main body shown in FIG.

As described above, the elastic member 25 is inserted into the lower end peripheral edge portion of the main body portion except for the portion of the notch portion 16, so that the opening of the lower end opening portion 20 is narrowed and contracted.
In use, the opening 20 is expanded to cover the cargo stored in the baggage from above, and if you release your hand, the aperture shrinks and catches on the bottom corner of the cargo, and the cover is attached. Is completed.

  Needless to say, the elastic member 25 is formed by being inserted into an insertion portion formed at the lower peripheral edge of the main body. However, the length of the elastic member 25 such as a rubber cord is set to the main body portion. By arranging what is shorter than the length of the lower edge of the lower end, and fixing both ends by sewing, the lower edge of the main body is maintained in a converged state. After expanding the lower end peripheral portion and covering the cargo, the lower end opening of the main body converges and can be easily attached. This configuration is the same as the conventional one.

  Further, in FIG. 2 (B), the bottom view shows that the thickness of the lower end portion of the main body is thick because of the insertion of the elastic member 25. In FIG. Since it is a state before inserting an elastic member, the whole is expressed planarly. In FIG. 2A, the insertion portion of the elastic member at the lower end of the main body is not shown.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the luggage cover according to the above embodiment is covered on the front of the bicycle. In this figure, the luggage B is accommodated in the front N, and the luggage B is It is larger than N and is housed in a state of jumping out above the forehead N.
In such a case, a pair of four pairs (two pairs on the left and right) of the locking members 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24 are separated from each other, and the buttocks sheet members 13, 14 So that the whole can be expanded. FIG. 3 shows this state.
In the state shown in FIG. 3, the inner volume of the cargo handling cover is maximized.

In use, all of the above-mentioned locking members 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24 may be opened, and the entire front wing may be covered together with the load from the lower end opening.
Since an elastic member such as a rubber string is inserted in the lower end portion of the main body portion, it can be easily hooked on the lower end corner portion of the cargo box, and mounting is easily completed.

  FIG. 4 illustrates a state in which the inner volume of the cargo cover according to the embodiment is reduced and the cargo cover is covered, and (A) is a state immediately after the cargo is covered, B) illustrates a state where the upper part of the main body is bent.

The state shown in this figure is a pair of four pairs (two pairs on the left and right) of the locking members 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 23 provided on the upper part of the overlapping surface of the collar sheet members 13, 14. , 24, 24 are locked together and the cargo N is covered in this state.
Since all of the luggage B in the luggage N is accommodated inside the luggage, the inner volume of the luggage B is minimum with all the locking members locked together. In this embodiment, the inner volume is substantially the same as the volume of the cargo.

  Similarly to the above, the lower end opening of the main body part of the cargo cover is directed downward, and the front bar N is covered from above, so that the entire cargo bar N can be covered and provided at the lower end of the main body part. The elastic member can be easily hooked and fixed to the bottom corner of the cargo box by the contracting force of the elastic member.

Then, if the portions of the front side sheet member 11 and the back side sheet member 12 that have locked the locking members 21, 21, 22, 22, 23, 23, 24, and 24 are folded forward or rearward, Coating is complete.
Here, by limiting the locking of the locking member to a part, that is, by locking only the pair of upper left and right locking members 22, 22, 24, 24, the internal volume of the main body portion Can be set slightly larger than in the above case.

  Accordingly, by providing two or more pairs of locking members on the upper part of each of the collar sheet members 13 and 14, by selectively locking these pairs of locking members, the internal volume of the main body can be reduced. It can be changed as appropriate.

  However, when a hook-and-loop fastener is used as the locking member, for example, when a pair of hook-and-loop fasteners are provided on the upper side edge of the overlapping surface of the respective flange sheet members on both sides, Since the locking member is not locked at the points as described above, but locked linearly, the internal volume of the main body can be appropriately reduced by appropriately limiting the locking range. Become.

As a result, the locking members can be appropriately selected and locked to each other according to the degree of protrusion of the load in the luggage.
As described above, in the cargo cover according to the present invention, for example, when guerrilla heavy rain occurs, the latching members of the folded cargo cover are appropriately selected and locked together, and then expanded. It will be possible to open and immediately cover the luggage and luggage.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, in the present invention, the embodiment can be variously design-changed as follows.
The sizes of the front side sheet member, the back side sheet member, and the buttock sheet member can be freely designed. In other words, it may be adapted to the size of the luggage of various bicycles.
The material can be freely selected, and of course, it does not have to be transparent or translucent.
The material is preferably flexible. This is because it can be folded freely.
The bonding location of each component member may be bonded by an adhesive instead of heat welding.

  In the present invention, at the bonding location, in the bonding of the upper edge portion of the front side sheet member and the back side sheet member, the entire upper edge portion of the buttock sheet members on both sides are bonded together simultaneously with the bonding of the upper edge portion. One feature is that, by adopting this configuration, the inner volume or volume can be changed very well, and it can be easily folded in a plane.

The elastic member provided at the lower end peripheral part of the main body part may also be a non-stretchable string member instead of a rubber string, which is inserted into an insertion part provided at the lower end peripheral part, and both ends are secured. There may be.
A reinforcing tape provided on the peripheral edge of the notch can be arbitrarily provided, and the material of the reinforcing tape can be freely selected.

Finally, in the present invention, the hooks are used as the pair of locking members in the above-described embodiment. However, as already described, this can be implemented with a hook-and-loop fastener other than the hooks.
When using a hook-and-loop fastener, a pair or two or more hook-and-loop fasteners may be provided on the upper portion of the overlapped surface of each of the folded buttocks sheet members, particularly on both side edges of the upper portion. It is also possible to carry out by providing only one pair of hook-and-loop fasteners on the entire side edge of the upper part.

  As described above, although the present invention has a simple configuration, the cover can be easily and speedily covered with the cargo and its contents from above. In addition, it is possible to provide a very convenient cargo cover that can be covered by changing its internal volume according to the size of the stored luggage.
