Description

   The present invention is an auxiliary part having the function of a sunshade and rain guard attached to a bicycle.

Bicycles are very nice vehicles that are easy to handle and easy to handle, but when they rain, there is no other way to get wet when they rain, making them very difficult to handle.
In fact, if you walk around the city on a rainy day, you can see that there are so many one-handed operations with illegal umbrellas. The same is true for the summer days when the sun is strong.
The purpose is to eliminate such unlawfulness / unsafety due to single-handed driving and discomfort due to wearing a pair of feathers, and to eliminate discomfort due to thick clothing to prevent UV rays during the hot summer season. Is.

   In addition, there are non-patent literature made in France as a solution to this problem, although it is limited to rainy weather. See Figure 16

Non-patent literature, which was found during the search to find if there is a close project after developing the invention of the present application, is introduced because the summary is very wonderful, and also clearly shows the difference from this product.
Non-patent literature consists of a windscreen, a rainproof soft top, side protection, and mounting hardware.

If the windscreen is fixed and removed, the rainproof softtop cannot be installed. The rainscreen softtop alone cannot be used as a rainbreaker.

Comparison of non-patent literature and the present invention See Table 1.

   Non-patent literature is only made in France, it is a product with high design and good unity, but the biggest problem is that it is other than the bottom surface when installing a windscreen, rainproof soft top and side protection Is covered with a semi-hermetic structure. This also increases the possibility that the windscreen will become cloudy and the heat inside will become a factor. The limit point that does not generate cloudiness or internal heat is presumed to be the current position, but this does not seem to have much rain protection effect. (If there is time, I would like to consider a partial patent of non-patent literature using the material of the present invention.)

   Also, the price is high and the wearability is not so good. A non-patent literature-style soft top was manufactured as a pre-stage product of the present invention product, but there is still a question about the wearability from the reason that the rain-proof soft top did not easily pass through the bars on both sides and became NG. There is not much need for a windscreen soft top except on rainy days. On the other hand, the wind hits the softtop to increase resistance and increase the burden of riding a bicycle. In addition, since the material emphasizes only when it rains, the use only overlaps limitedly with the present invention. However, if you think only during light rain, the design is also good, so I think that it is worthwhile as a product for the wealthy, but unfortunately, it does not take full advantage of its robustness.

The basic configuration is the dome 1, pillar 2, tarpaulin 3, and dedicated brackets 4, 5, and 6. Depending on the size of the bicycle, several sizes and colors are available.
Options include lower cover 7, cold-resistant seat 3 ', head protection cushion 8, etc.

(About the dome)
Definition: Dome 1 in the present invention shall be below the standard defined by Cabinet Office Ordinance (not exceeding 190 centimeters in length and 60 centimeters in width), on which sufficient space for a person to drive a bicycle is secured. A three-dimensional structure.

(1) Structure * Materials to protect people from UV rays, rain, insects, etc. are placed on the front, back, left and right, and the wire 9 that forms the framework is placed between them. Next, the fabric end and the wire 9 are covered with a cloth and sewn to form a dome shape.
* The dome 1 can be folded into a small size when not in use, and when in use, the dome must be instantly dome-shaped. (Available by using wire for the framework)
* Considering the influence of rain and wind, it shall be inclined forward and backward. (Front; Low: After; High)

(2) Material: * In consideration of light rain and ultraviolet rays in summer, use materials that have fine eyes and are not easily permeable to ultraviolet rays, and that have good visibility and breathability.
* If the performance (waterproofness / breathability / windproofing / water resistance / visibility / ultraviolet ray blocking / temperature controllability / breathability ...) increases due to the progress of fiber, it will shift to the one with better performance. (Gore-Tex, paraffin wax, carbon nanotubes ...)
* Set several colors for dome 1. Additional colors are possible depending on market trends.
* Also set a pattern on the dome 1.

(3) Applications: The main pillars are sunshade and rain protection, but there are also lineups for sunshade, rain protection, and cold resistance, etc. depending on the application.
* Dome 1 basically uses one type of material, but depending on the application, there will be two or three types of material. (Waterproof + UV-blocking. Side refers to materials with good waterproof + UV-blocking + moisture permeability.)

(4) Configuration: * Dome 1 is a wire that forms the framework of dome 1 with a material suitable for the purpose (however, it has basic performance that it has fine eyes and is difficult to transmit ultraviolet rays, and has good visibility and breathability). Consists of nine.
* The standard specification uses a common material for the wire 9 of the dome 1, but in applications that frequently shrink, use metal that can withstand it.

(5) Storability: The dome 1 can be transformed when it is contracted due to the flexibility of the wire . At the time of deployment, it becomes a dome shape instantly due to the restoring force of the wire . See Fig. 13.

  (About the pillar)

(1) Material: Any material other than metal is acceptable as long as it has a certain level of strength.

(2) Configuration: * The front two pillars (2a, 2b) can be divided and easily carried, and the rear two (2c, 2d) pillars are divided and extendable depending on the application, and do not change much. In this case, set one type.
* The front and rear columns (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) are basically set up in parallel, but the structure can be changed if a new method is found to increase the strength.
Improvement 1 Connecting the top of the two previous pillars
Improvement 2 After the two pillars are not parallel but stand upright. See Figures 1 and 4

  (About dedicated brackets)

  (1) Configuration: * Front dedicated bracket 4 (front post receiving pipe 4b + pipe fixing bracket 4a + mounting screw + washer + nut) and rear dedicated bracket 6 (rear post supporting 6a + rear post supporting fixing bracket 6b + pipe 6d + Saddle fixing bracket 6c + pipe carrier fixing band + screw + washer + nut).

(2) Mounting method 1. The front bracket 4 is fixed to the front and the rear bracket 6 is fixed to the saddle and the loading platform.
2. The front dedicated bracket 4 is fixed to the handle when there is no front saddle, and the rear dedicated bracket 6 is fixed only to the saddle when there is no loading platform. See Figures 6 and 9
Also, it is possible to change the front and rear of 1.2. In that case, the component configuration is also changed.

(3) Safety: The shape and mounting location of the dedicated bracket may be changed to improve safety. See Fig. 7.
Example) Since the front pole holder is installed close to the handle, consider using a round pipe to avoid injury if the corner hits the body.
In such a case, shortening the front pole holder may make it easier to install the front pillar.

(About options)

  (1) Waterproof (cold resistant) sheet

1 Material: Specialized material is used depending on the intended use, but the material can be changed as the material progresses.
* Parts that require confirmation of the front and left and right sides should be made of highly visible materials.

2 Configuration: The waterproof sheet covering the dome is of two types, one covering all and the other partially covering. See Figure 2
The cover type is designed to prevent rain and several ventilation openings are provided.

3. Mounting method: Cover from above the dome 1 and fasten it to the pillar using Velcro (registered trademark) or string.
(2) Lower cover

1 material: * Depending on the purpose of use, there are several types of cover material, such as for rainy weather, insect protection and cold protection. The material can be changed according to the progress of the material.
For rainy weather and cold weather, the mesh material is not used and air permeability deteriorates.

2 Composition: * Magic tape (registered trademark) or fastener button connected to the dome 1 and tens of centimeters from the bottom of the dome are made of a highly waterproof / breathable material (cover part), and the bottom part is entangled It shall be able to wrap around with a string to prevent it from shrinking. See Fig. 10. Can be removed when not in use.
(3) Safety device

   1 head protection cushion

Objective: Bicycles are not required to wear adult helmets yet and are very dangerous when falling, and wearing helmets in summer is very uncomfortable, just like a pair. A head protection cushion was devised as a solution to these problems. It is safer than a helmet because it can protect not only the head but also the face and upper body when falling. See Fig. 11 and 12. Structure: Place a transparent material that forms an air layer inside the dome (1 proposal: stored in a folded state in the lower side (upper part) of dome 1). Next, put the valve between the material and the can attached to the bicycle body with a tube. In the event of a fall, the valve of the can attached to the bicycle body automatically opens, gas is sent from the can to the material inside the dome 1, the material bulges instantly and fills the dome 1, protecting the head and upper body To do.
* Use safe gas.
* Even if the material swells in the dome 1, it can breathe easily inside.

2 turn signal stoplight
* Installation location Winkers on the front pillars (2a, 2b) Winker stoplights on the rear pillars (2c, 2d)

3 reflectors
* Installation location Dome 1 (reflective material embedded in material), front pillar (2a, 2b), rear pillar (2c, 2d)
(4) Storage space

1 It is possible to install shelves using pipes and nets on the rear pillars (2c, 2d). See Fig. 2. 2 Hooks can be attached to the rear pillars (2c, 2d) so that light objects can be hung.

(5) Power supply device

A solar panel will be installed on the ceiling of the dome 1 so that it can be used to charge the battery of a power supply for safety devices or a motorized bicycle.
If power generation equipment that can be woven into the material comes out due to future progress, it will shift to it.
(6) Motorbike

The lineup of the motorbike type of the present invention is also examined.
(Mounting method)

(1) Fix the front bracket 4 for fixing the pillar on the bicycle to the front and the rear bracket 6 to the saddle and the loading platform. → Always keep it fixed. See Figure 15
* If there is no flaw, the front bracket 4 is fixed to the handle, and if there is no cargo bed, the rear bracket 6 is fixed to the saddle. (2) Next, the front pillars 2a and 2b are inserted into the front pillar receiving pipe 4b, and the rear pillars 2c and 2d are inserted into the rear pillar receiving 6a.

(3) Next, cover the four pillars with the dome 1 and fix the dome to the front pillars 2a and 2b with the velcro attached to the dome (registered trademark) at the front, and the velcro tape (registered trademark) + for the rear. Fix the dome 1 to the rear pillars 2c, 2d with a stick.
(It is assumed that the upper part of the rear pillar has a hole for inserting the special rod.)

(4) If the rain is strong, cover the dome 1 with the waterproof sheet 3 and fix it on the pillar. Refer to Figure 15 (b)
