[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a basket for a two-wheeled vehicle, which is suitable for use as a front basket for a bicycle or the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 So-called utility vehicles and women's bicycles are equipped with basket-like baskets with the mudguards on the front wheels and the head tube as fulcrums. This front cage is mainly made of an iron material or a resin material and is formed into a certain shape having rigidity, and although it can be stacked, it cannot be folded.

For this reason, some problems occur before being assembled in a bicycle shop or the like. The first point is that it is necessary to maintain a certain shape as described above, so it takes up space in the stock after manufacturing, storing, transporting, and assembling the basket, and also the logistics cost is not stupid. .. The second point is that the cage cannot be put into the bicycle package, and the front cage must move separately.

Further, in the case of a resin-made front basket, since the whole is integrally molded, the mold for manufacturing the same is large-scaled, and many kinds of molds cannot be made. In other words, it is pointed out that it is difficult to strike a balance between economic efficiency and the attractiveness of products.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above point, and its problem is to flatten the shape so that it can be packed in a car package or the like at the same time.

Another object of the present invention is to form a basket of this kind in a structure that is easy to assemble with a synthetic resin, and at the same time combine economic efficiency and attractiveness as a product.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a bottom plate surface 1 and left and right plate surfaces 2 and 3 and front and rear plate surfaces 4 and 5 for forming a basket shape by rising from each side thereof. A basket for a two-wheeled vehicle mounted on the vehicle body side by using a mounting member 6 required, wherein the bottom plate surface 1 and the rear plate surface 5 are bent at a boundary line between both plate surfaces, etc., and are integrated into a three-dimensional form. The first plate-shaped body 7 is formed, and the left and right plate surfaces 2 and 3 and the front plate surface 4 are bent in the direction of the rear plate surface at the boundaries between the respective plate surfaces, etc. A connecting means that forms a second plate-shaped body 8, and the first and second plate-shaped bodies 7 and 8 are made of bendable synthetic resin, and are engaged and fixed to each other to form the cage shape. The means of forming 9 and 10 on the connection side of both plate-like bodies 7 and 8 is taken.

【Example】

 A description will be given below with reference to the drawings. Although the drawing is of a type used as a front basket for bicycles, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to front and rear baskets of, for example, a three-wheeled bicycle or a light motorbike.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, the basket B rises from the bottom plate surface 1 and its four sides, and the left and right plate surfaces 2 and 3 and the front and rear plate surfaces 4 and 5 for forming the basket shape are formed. It consists of each plate surface, and the top surface is open.

The bottom plate surface 1 and the rear plate surface 5 are integrated at a boundary line between both plate surfaces so that they can be folded into a three-dimensional shape, and form one first plate-shaped body 7. Further, the left and right plate surfaces 2 and 3 and the front plate surface 4 are integrated at the respective plate surface boundary lines so that they can be bent in the direction of the rear plate surface so as to be three-dimensional, and also form one second plate-shaped body 8. ing.

Each of the first and second plate-shaped bodies 7 and 8 is formed by a synthetic resin molding so as to be bendable, and a pattern 19 designed arbitrarily is provided on each plate surface. On the connecting sides of both plate-like bodies 7 and 8, connecting means 9 and 10 which are engaged and fixed to each other are formed simultaneously at the time of molding. Therefore, the basket B according to the present invention is practically composed of only two members, that is, the first and second plate-shaped members 7 and 8.

On the connection side of the first plate-shaped body 7, connection frames 21, 22, 23 raised in the respective plate surface directions of the second plate-shaped body 8 are formed. One connecting frame 21 rises from the three sides of the bottom plate surface 1 toward the front plate surface 4 and the left and right plate surfaces 2 and 3, and the other two connecting frames 22 and 23 extend from the left and right rear plate surfaces. I am getting up in a few directions (Fig. 1).

One of the connecting means 9 is provided in each of the connecting frames 21, 22, 23 of the first plate-shaped body 7, and is formed in a groove shape along the connecting frames 21, 22, 23. It has a fitting recess 11 and an engagement window 12 opened on the inner side wall of the recess 11.

The other connecting means 10 is engaged with the engaging concave portion 11 so that the engaging edge 13 formed on the connecting side of the second plate-like body 8 and the engaging window 12 can be engaged with the side wall. And an engaging projection 14 formed on the (see FIG. 4).

Since the engaging recesses 11 of both connecting means 9 and 10 are formed over substantially the entire length of the connecting side, and the engaging edge 13 is also formed over the entire length of the connecting side, the engaging recess 11 and the engaging edge 13 are formed. And the engaging projections 14 provided along the connecting sides of the first and second plate-like bodies 7 and 8 engage with the engaging window 12 continuously. To prevent it from coming off, and fasten both plate-like bodies 7 and 8.

Under the engagement of the connecting means 9 and 10, the tip 24 of the engaging edge 13 is close to the bottom of the engaging recess 11, and the top 15 of the engaging recess forming piece projects inside the other connecting means 10. It is engageable with the inner projection 16 provided, and the top of the connection frame 21, which is another engaging recess forming piece, engages with the outer projection 25 provided on the outside of the second plate-shaped body 8. It is possible.

Notches 29 are formed along the corners of the bottom surface at the front corners of the basket B, specifically, at the front corners of the first plate-shaped body connection frame 21, and outside the notches 29. The corner portion 30 is prevented from collapsing when receiving an external force. 29 'indicates the end of the notch 29.

The first and second plate-like bodies 7 and 8 can be formed by folding the first plate-like body 7 in two, and the second plate-like body 8 has the left and right plate surfaces 2 and 3 as front plates. Since the first plate-shaped member 7 that has been folded can be folded in three by overlapping on the surface 4 and the folded first plate-shaped member 7 can be accommodated in the second plate-shaped member 8 (FIG. 7), the whole becomes extremely small and flat. Reference numeral 26 indicates a storage box.

The first and second plate-like bodies 7 and 8 are formed into a shape that is easy to bend due to the above-mentioned bending, and are separated from the connection frames 21 and 22 and 23 at the boundary between the bottom plate surface 1 and the rear plate surface 5, for example. The cutout portion 31 is provided, and the upper edge 32 of the second plate-shaped body 8 also has a T-shaped cross section with a small degree of protrusion. However, in order to facilitate the bending of the second plate-shaped body 8 and to obtain strength at the same time, the upper edge 32 'having a lesser degree of protrusion can be provided and the reinforcing frame 33 can be fitted thereto. (Figure 6). The reinforcing frame 33 is pre-molded according to the shape of the opening of the basket B, and is fitted to the upper edge 32 'and both ends 34 extending to the upper edge 32 "of the first plate-shaped body 7, It has 35. 36 shows an engagement port.

Mounting holes 17 and 18 for mounting the cage B to the vehicle body C are formed in the bottom plate surface 1 and the rear plate surface 5 of the first plate-shaped body 7, and the mounting hole 17 of the bottom plate surface 1 is a mudguard. The mounting hole 18 of the rear plate surface 5 is aligned with the position of the mounting member 6a on G, and the mounting hole 18 of the rear plate surface 5 is aligned with the position of the mounting member 6b of the head tube H. 27 is a set screw, 28 is a nut, and 37 is a drain hole.

In the present invention, the terms bottom plate, rear plate, left plate, right plate, and front plate are used. However, even if there is no surface corresponding to each plate, there are parts that touch the front, rear, left, right, and bottom. It only needs to be a basket, and it can be applied to an oval basket, for example.

[0022]

[Effect of the device]

 Since the present invention is constructed and operates as described above, the basket for the two-wheeled vehicle is composed of only the first plate 7 and the second plate 8 and has a plate shape. At the same time, it can be flattened even if it is bent, so that it is extremely compactly folded and can be packed in a bicycle package at the same time.

Further, since it is possible to mold with a flat mold in terms of manufacturing, the mold design is facilitated, the cost is reduced, and the design process is easy, so that it is possible to provide a mold that meets the purpose and requirements.
