Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a bicycle luggage basket that is attached to a bicycle and whose upper opening can be opened and closed in the front and rear directions.

(Prior Art) Conventional bicycle luggage baskets of this type include those disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 40193/1982 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 26686/1983.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, the former of the above-mentioned conventional ones (Utility Model Publication No. 51-40193) has a side shape of V when opened.
Since the luggage basket is shaped like a letter and is foldable, it is difficult to store heavy items or items with a large bottom volume, and there are also problems with durability.

Also, the latter of the conventional ones mentioned above (JP-A-58-
26686) has a larger cargo basket volume than the former, but the structure of the cargo basket itself has less rigid parts in both the former and the latter, so the sway of the cargo while riding makes it difficult to maneuver the bicycle. It becomes unstable,
As a result, there was a problem that traffic safety was compromised.

(Means for solving the problem) In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the present invention, the cargo basket is divided into a front part and a rear part, each formed in a shell shape, and these front part and rear part are separated. The bottom part is hinged so that it can be opened and closed, and a spring is provided on the bottom part to bias the baggage basket in the direction in which it opens. A bicycle luggage basket is constructed by providing an opening with a latch for holding the luggage basket in a closed state.

(Function) Since the bicycle luggage basket of the present invention is constructed as described above, the open shell-structured housing is convenient for storing items as they are when shopping, etc., and the strong bottom allows for easy storage. In addition to being able to store items with considerable weight and volume, there is no risk of accidents caused by the shaking of luggage while riding the bicycle, contributing to traffic safety.

In addition, when the luggage basket of the present invention is closed, the exterior of the luggage basket is slim and compact, and
It can be used as a container for valuables to prevent theft, which has been occurring frequently in recent years.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 1 is the bicycle body frame, 2 is the front wheel,
3 is the handle post, 4 is the handle, 5 is the front wheel 2
This is the bicycle luggage basket of the present invention attached to the front of the bicycle shown above.

In the present invention, the bicycle luggage basket 5 is
The front part 6 and the rear part 7 are divided into shell-shaped parts made of a metal plate, a porous metal plate, or a synthetic resin, and the front part 6 and the rear part 7 can be opened and closed by a bearing 8 and a shaft 9 provided at the bottom. A coil portion 10a of a coil spring 10 is fitted to the shaft 9 and biased in the direction in which the cargo basket 5 opens, and a triangular shape is formed between both side edges of the front portion 6 and the rear portion 7. They are connected by a flexible sheet material 11 such as shaped cloth. Note that 11a and 11b are flexible sheet materials 1
In this case, if the outer reinforcing band 11b is made of an elastic band such as rubber, the flexible sheet material 11 will always be folded inward when the cargo basket 5 is closed. It's convenient because it becomes like this.

Further, reference numeral 12 denotes a wire metal fixture fixed to the back surface of the rear surface part 7 with screws 13, etc., and the cargo basket 5 is Attach it to your bicycle.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a hook-shaped hook 16 is provided on the upper edge 12a of the fixture 12, and is hooked onto the upper edge of the front surface 6 when the cargo basket 15 is closed. Engage the tip of the stopper 16 to close the front part 6.
to be able to hang.

In addition, in FIG. 4, 10b is the coil spring 10.
17 is the outer extension of this outer extension 10
This is a locking tool for fixing b to the bottom surface of the front part 6. 10c is an inner extension of the coil spring 10;
The cross rod 18 spanned between the fixtures 12
Its tip is locked in.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment, in which a hook 19 with an upwardly facing hook is pivoted by a screw 20 provided at the upper part of the rear surface 7, so that when the cargo basket is closed, In addition, this latching metal fitting 19 is adapted to be latched to a screw 21 provided at the upper part of the front part 6.

Moreover, FIG. 6 shows another embodiment,
This connects the upper edges of the front part 6 and the rear part 7 by two-bar links 22 and 23, and also has a protrusion 22 on one of these links 22 and 23.
a and 22b, and the other link 23 is provided with a hole 23a that engages with the projections 22a and 22b. Note that 24 is a screw that connects the links 22 and 23, 25 is a nut, and 26 is a screw that connects the links 22 and 23.
27 is a coil spring inserted between the link 22
A screw 28 connects the link 23 to the front part 6 and a screw 28 connects the link 23 to the rear part 7.

That is, by doing this, when the cargo basket 5 is opened, the links 22 and 23 are connected as shown in FIGS. 6a and 6c.
becomes straight, the protrusion 22a engages with the hole 23a, and when the cargo basket 5 is closed, the links 22 and 23 are bent and overlap each other, and the protrusion 22b becomes straight. By engaging with the hole 23a, the cargo basket 5 is held in a closed state.

(Effects of the invention) Since the bicycle luggage basket of the present invention is constructed as described above, the open shell-structured housing is convenient for storing items as they are when shopping, etc., and also has a strong bottom. Therefore, items with considerable weight and volume can be stored, and there is no risk of accidents caused by the shaking of luggage while the bicycle is running, contributing to traffic safety.

In addition, when the luggage basket of the present invention is closed, the exterior of the luggage basket is slim and compact, and
As a container for valuables, it has many practical effects, such as being able to prevent thefts that have been occurring frequently in recent years.
