Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a bicycle pet case mounting structure that is used when attaching a pet case for storing a pet, such as a puppy or a cat, to a bicycle.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, to transport a pet case using a bicycle, it was possible to place it in a basket attached to the front of the bicycle, but since the pet case was unstable and dangerous to drive, it was not possible to carry it on a bicycle. It was fixed. The general method is to fix the proximal end of a string member such as a rubber band or rope to the loading platform, and attach the free end of the string member to the outer surface of the plastic case placed on the loading platform in the width direction and the outer surface of the plastic case placed on the loading platform. This means stretching the frame diagonally several times.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, as mentioned above, when trying to secure a plastic bag using a string member such as a rubber band or rope, it takes time and effort to stretch the string member, making it difficult to attach the plastic case. and cannot be easily removed. It also doesn't look good, and even if your pet makes a fuss while being transported, you can't calm it down because it's strung with string.

Furthermore, if the string member is stretched at a different position or the number of times the string member is stretched is small, the attached state of the plastic case becomes unstable.

Furthermore, it is difficult for rubber bands and the like to maintain a constant amount of expansion and contraction at each stretch portion, and the fixing force of the plastic case to the cargo platform is partially weakened, so there is a risk that the plastic case may come off due to vibrations when the bicycle is running.

This idea has a unique structure in which the support frame of the case mounting frame is inserted into the frame locking part formed on the pet case, so that even women and children can easily and easily attach and remove the pet case, and it is also stable. To provide a pet case mounting structure for a bicycle which can be fixed in a closed state and can also immediately soothe a pet if necessary.

(d) Means for solving the problem The means for solving the above-mentioned problem will be explained using FIG. 1 of the embodiment. Frame 4
In order to insert and fix the support frame 4d from below on the outer surface of the PET case 1 to be attached to the case mounting frame 4, a frame locking portion 8 having a concave shape corresponding to the support frame 4d is provided. It is elastically displaced inwardly by the support frame 4d to be inserted into the frame locking portion 8, and when the insertion is completed, it elastically returns to the outside and locks to the upper end of the support frame 4d from the inside. A frame removal prevention plate 12c is formed to prevent the support frame 4d from falling out, and frame guide pieces 12a are provided on the outer surface side of the frame locking portion 8 to guide the support frame 4d to be inserted.
12a is a bicycle pet case mounting structure.

(E) Effect According to the above-described structure, the pet case can be attached by simply inserting the support frame of the case mounting frame fixed to the bicycle into the frame locking portion formed on the outer surface of the pet case. That is, when the support frame is inserted into the concave frame locking part along the inner wall of the frame locking part, the frame locking plate is elastically displaced inward to allow the insertion. When this is completed, it returns elastically and locks the upper end of the support plate from the inside to prevent it from coming off. At this time, the support frame that is prevented from coming out is
The guide piece prevents the frame from falling off to the outside, and the outer circumferential surface abuts against the inner wall of the frame locking portion to fix the frame in position.

Further, in order to remove the pet case, it is only necessary to push the elastically displacing frame locking plate inward to elastically displace it so that the support plate can be pulled out from the locking portion, and then pull up the pet case.

(f) Effects of the invention As a result of the above, according to this invention, the PET case can be fixed to the bicycle simply by inserting the support frame of the case mounting frame into the frame locking part of the PET case, and the PET case can be fixed to the bicycle by simply pushing the frame locking plate. The retainer can be released with a one-touch operation, and the attachment and detachment of the pet case does not require much effort, and even women, children, etc. can easily and easily attach and detach the pet case.

Moreover, the appearance of the pet case is good when it is attached, and the lid of the pet case can be opened while it is attached to the bicycle, so if the pet starts to make a fuss while being transported, you can quickly calm it down.

In addition, since the mounting structure is such that the support frame of the case mounting frame is inserted into the frame locking part of the PET case, the outer circumferential surface of the inserted support frame comes into contact with the inner wall of the frame locking part, and can be moved vertically and horizontally. A strong fixed state is obtained, and furthermore, the attachment of the plastic case is regulated to a fixed position, and a stable attachment condition can always be obtained no matter who attaches the plastic case at any time.
Therefore, the pet case can be installed stably without shaking even when the pet moves around inside, and the pet case can be reliably prevented from coming off due to vibrations or shifting the attachment position when the bicycle is running.

Furthermore, since the frame locking portion is formed in a concave shape, when the plastic case is separated from the case mounting frame, the plastic case itself can be carried alone.

(G) Embodiment of the invention An embodiment of this invention will be described below in detail based on the drawings.

The drawings show, as an example of a case, a plastic case for mounting on a bicycle, which is used to attach a plastic case. In FIGS. It is attached to the case attachment frame 4.
