Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a garden bike. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, two-wheeled transport vehicles are often used to transport luggage and the like. A known two-wheeled transport vehicle has wheels rotatably supported on axles below a frame, a handle extending from the rear of the frame, and a bucket on the frame that can carry luggage (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Among two-wheeled transport vehicles, there is known a garden two-wheeled vehicle used for gardening and the like. Garden two-wheeled transport vehicles are configured more compactly than regular two-wheeled transport vehicles so that they can be used for gardening, farm work, and the like, for example. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 62-67 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, storing a garden motorcycle requires a relatively large storage space, and therefore there is a need for a technology that can reduce the storage space required for garden motorcycles.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a garden two-wheeler that can keep storage space small. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means. (1) The garden two-wheeler of the present invention comprises a bucket for carrying cargo, a frame that supports the bucket and has a ground contact portion and a connecting portion on the outside of one end of the bucket, a pair of wheels that are spaced apart in the width direction on the frame and are arranged on the other end side of the bucket so that they can support the bucket together with the ground contact portion, and a handle that is supported by the connecting portion and can be positioned in a use position extended away from the bucket and in a folded position folded down along the bucket.

[0007] According to the above configuration, the handle can be placed in a folded position along with the bucket. Therefore, by folding the handle from the use position, the garden bike can be made compact. This allows the storage space for the garden bike to be kept small.

[0008] (2) In the above aspect, the ground contact portion and the connecting portion may be arranged on the same plane and spaced apart in a direction intersecting the bucket.

[0009] With this configuration, the ground contact portion and the connecting portion are arranged on the same plane with a gap between them in a direction intersecting the bucket. This allows the garden bike to be placed compactly against the floor or other surface, further reducing the storage space required for the garden bike. Furthermore, the ground contact parts and the connecting parts are spaced apart in a direction intersecting the bucket, which prevents the garden bike from tipping over in a direction intersecting the bucket when the garden bike is placed against the floor or the like.

[0010] (3) In the above aspect, the bucket may be narrowly formed with a width W of 298 to 359 mm and shallowly formed with a depth D of 156 to 217 mm.

[0011] With this configuration, the bucket has a narrow width W of 298 to 359 mm and a shallow depth D of 156 to 217 mm. A width W of 298 to 359 mm and a depth D of 156 to 217 mm allows a vegetable container, for example, to be loaded. Therefore, when the garden bike is used to transport cargo such as a vegetable container filled with vegetables, the balance of the garden bike can be properly maintained. This improves the ease of use of the garden bike.

[0012] (4) In the above aspect, the bucket may have a wall on the other end side that is inclined upward from the bottom toward the opening at an inclination angle θ of 135 to 140°.

[0013] According to this configuration, the wall on the other end side of the bucket is inclined upward from the bottom toward the opening at an inclination angle θ of 135 to 140°. This ensures a large opening for the bucket. This allows, for example, when loading a vegetable container into the bucket, the vegetable container can be properly loaded into the bucket by utilizing the space between the vegetable container and the wall on the other end side. Furthermore, when unloading a vegetable container from the bucket, the vegetable container can be properly unloaded from the bucket by utilizing the space between the vegetable container and the wall on the other end side. This improves the usability of the garden two-wheeler. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, the storage space for the garden two-wheeler can be kept small. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0015] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view of a garden two-wheeler according to an embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the left rear in a state of use. [Figure 2] 2 is a perspective view showing the state in which the bucket is disassembled from the garden two-wheeler of FIG. 1. FIG. [Figure 3] 1 is a perspective view of the garden two-wheeler of the embodiment in a stored state, as viewed from the left side. FIG. [Figure 4]4 is a plan view of the garden motorcycle of FIG. 3 as seen from arrow IV. [Figure 5] FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion V in FIG. 3. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] Hereinafter, a garden two-wheeler according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0017] <Garden Bike> Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the garden two-wheeler of the embodiment when viewed from the left rear in use, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the garden two-wheeler of Fig. 1 with the bucket disassembled. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the garden two-wheel vehicle 10 is used to transport, for example, a vegetable container (not shown) as luggage. The vegetable container stores, for example, vegetables grown in gardening or the like. The vegetable container is generally formed into a rectangular body with an opening at the top. In the embodiment, an example will be described in which the garden two-wheel vehicle 10 transports a vegetable container as luggage, but the luggage transported by the garden two-wheel vehicle 10 is not limited to a vegetable container.

[0018] The garden bike 10 includes a bucket 12, a frame 13, a pair of wheels 14, a handle 15, and a locking mechanism 16 (see FIG. 3). In the following description, the direction in which a user pulls the handle 15 when transporting luggage on the garden bike 10 will be referred to as the rear, the left side of the user holding the handle 15 as the left side, and the side on which luggage is loaded onto the garden bike 10 as the top. In the drawings, the rear of the garden bike 10 is indicated by arrow RE, the left side of the garden bike 10 by arrow LH, and the top of the garden bike 10 by arrow UP.

[0019] <bucket> The bucket 12 is formed of steel plate so as to carry cargo such as a vegetable container. The bucket 12 has a bottom 21, a left side wall 22, a right side wall 23, a front wall (the wall on the other end side) 24, a rear wall 25, a pair of first locking flaps 26, and a second locking flap 27.

[0020] The bottom 21 is formed, for example, in a rectangular shape in a plan view. The left side wall 22, for example, rises vertically upward from the left side of the bottom 21. The right side wall 23, for example, rises vertically upward from the right side of the bottom 21. The front wall 24 is inclined upward from the front side of the bottom 21 toward an opening 28 (described later). The rear wall 25, for example, rises vertically upward from the rear side of the bottom 21. Bucket 12 has an opening 28 formed at the upper edge of left side wall 22, the upper edge of right side wall 23, the upper edge of front wall 24, and the upper edge of rear wall 25. Bucket 12 is formed in a roughly ship bottom shape, and its upper end is open at opening 28. Bucket 12 has front wall 24 inclined upward, ensuring that opening 28 is larger than bottom 21.

[0021] The bucket 12 has a bottom 21 formed to have a width W of 298 to 359 mm. By forming the bottom 21 to have a width W of 298 to 359 mm, the bucket 12 is formed to be narrower (slimmer) than that of a normal two-wheeled transporter that is generally used. In addition, the bucket 12 is formed to have a depth D of 156 to 217 mm. By forming the bucket 12 to have a depth D of 156 to 217 mm, the bucket 12 is formed to be shallower than that of a normal two-wheeled transporter that is generally used. Note that the bucket 12 preferably has a bottom 21 with a width W of 328.77 mm and a depth D of 186.4 mm. By forming the bucket 12 to have a narrow width and a shallow depth, the bucket 12 is formed to be compact. Front wall 24 is inclined upward at an inclination angle θ of 135 to 140° from the front edge of bottom 21 toward opening 28. Note that bucket 12 preferably has front wall 24 with an inclination angle θ of 137.5°.

[0022] The pair of first locking flaps 26 are provided, for example, at a distance in the width direction (left-right direction) at the front end 21a of the bottom portion 21. The rear end 26a of each first locking flap 26 is fixed from below to the front end 21a of the bottom portion 21, and a bent piece 26b extends forward from the rear end 26a. The bent piece 26b extends forward from the rear end 26a and is bent downward with a distance from the front end 21a of the bottom portion 21. A first cross bar 45 (described later) of the frame 13 is fitted between the bent piece 26b and the front end 21a of the bottom portion 21. In other words, the bent piece 26b and the front end 21a of the bottom portion 21 are fitted into the first cross bar 45 of the frame 13. As a result, the front end 21a of the bottom portion 21 is supported by the pair of first locking flaps 26 on the first cross bar 45 of the frame 13.

[0023] The second locking flap 27 is provided at the center in the width direction of the upper end 25a of the rear wall 25. The second locking flap 27 protrudes rearward from the center of the upper end 25a. The second locking flap 27 has a through hole 31. The second locking flap 27 is placed from above on a second cross bar 46 (see FIG. 3 ), which will be described later. In this state, a fastening screw 32 is inserted into the through hole 31 of the second locking flap 27 and screwed to the second cross bar 46. Therefore, the upper end 25a of the rear wall 25 is fixed to the second cross bar 46 by the second locking flap 27 and the fastening screw 32. In other words, the bucket 12 is supported on the frame 13 by the pair of first locking flap 26 and second locking flap 27.

[0024] <frame> FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the garden motorcycle of the embodiment in a stored state, as viewed from the left. 2 and 3, the frame 13 supports the bucket 12, as well as a pair of wheels 14, a handle 15, and a locking mechanism 16. The frame 13 includes a first side frame 41, a first connecting portion (connecting portion) 42, a second side frame 43, a second connecting portion (connecting portion) 44, a first cross bar 45, a second cross bar 46, and a third cross bar 47.

[0025] The first side frame 41 is provided on the left side wall 22 side of the bucket 12. The first side frame 41 includes a leg portion 51 and a support portion 52. The leg portion 51 is formed, for example, by bending a hollow rod into a generally V-shape in side view. The leg portion 51 includes a first inclined portion 54, a ground contact portion 55, and a second inclined portion 56.

[0026] The first inclined portion 54 extends downward from the front end 21a of the bottom portion 21 downwardly toward the rear end 21b of the bottom portion 21 on the left side of the bucket 12. The ground contact portion 55 is formed in a curved shape by bending the first inclined portion 54 upward below the rear end 21b of the bottom portion 21. The ground contact portion 55 is located below the rear end 21b of the bottom portion 21 and to the rear of the rear end 21b of the bottom portion 21 (see also FIG. 1). The second inclined portion 56 extends forwardly from the upper end of the ground contact portion 55 to the upper end of the rear wall 25 on the left side of the bucket 12 upwardly. The support portion 52 is formed of, for example, a hollow rod. The support portion 52 is disposed on the left side of the bucket 12 along the rear wall 25 of the bucket 12 from the upper end of the second inclined portion 56 to the rear end of the first inclined portion 54.

[0027] The first connecting portion 42 is provided on the upper end of the second inclined portion 56 via a support portion 52. The first connecting portion 42 extends from the upper end of the second inclined portion 56 rearward at an upward inclination. The first connecting portion 42 and the second inclined portion 56 are bent such that a portion 58 connected via the support portion 52 bends forward. Hereinafter, the portion 58 where the first connecting portion 42 and the second inclined portion 56 are connected via the support portion 52 may be referred to as a "bent portion 58." In other words, the first connecting portion 42 and the second inclined portion 56 are formed in a substantially V-shape in side view, with the bent portion 58 protruding forward. A ground contact portion 55 is provided at the lower end of the second inclined portion 56. Therefore, end portion 42a and ground contact portion 55 of first connecting portion 42 are disposed outside (i.e., behind bucket 12) the rear end portion (one end portion) of bucket 12. End portion 42a and ground contact portion 55 of first connecting portion 42 are disposed on the same plane PL with a gap between them in a direction intersecting bucket 12.

[0028] 4 is a plan view of the garden motorcycle of FIG. 3 as seen from the direction of an arrow IV. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the first connecting portion 42 has a pair of side walls 61 and a bottom wall 62. The pair of side walls 61 are arranged with a gap in the width direction. The bottom wall 62 connects the lower edges of the pair of side walls 61. The pair of side walls 61 and the bottom wall 62 form a U-shaped cross section of the first connecting portion 42. The first connecting portion 42 has an opening 63 along its upper side. The first connecting portion 42 has a first through hole (not shown) formed in the center of the pair of side walls 61 in the longitudinal direction and a second through hole 64 formed at the upper end. The first through hole and the second through hole 64 will be described in detail later.

[0029] 2 and 3, the second side frame 43 is provided on the right side wall 23 side of the bucket 12. The second side frame 43 is formed symmetrically with respect to the first side frame 41. Therefore, the same reference numerals as those in the first side frame 41 are used for the components of the second side frame 43, and detailed explanations thereof will be omitted. The second connecting portion 44 is provided on the upper end of the second inclined portion 56 via the support portion 52. The first connecting portion 42 extends obliquely upward from the upper end of the second inclined portion 56 toward the rear. The second connecting portion 44 is formed symmetrically with respect to the first connecting portion 42. Therefore, the same reference numerals as those of the first connecting portion 42 are used for the components of the second connecting portion 44, and detailed explanations thereof will be omitted.

[0030] The end 44a of the second connecting portion 44 and the ground contact portion 55 of the second side frame 43 are disposed outside the rear end of the bucket 12 (rear of the bucket 12). The end 44a of the second connecting portion 44 and the ground contact portion 55 of the second side frame 43 are disposed on the same plane PL with a gap between them in a direction intersecting the bucket 12. Therefore, the ground contact portion 55 of the first side frame 41, the ground contact portion 55 of the second side frame 43, the end 42a of the first connecting portion 42, and the end 44a of the second connecting portion 44 are disposed on the same plane PL. Hereinafter, the ground contact portion 55 of the first side frame 41 and the ground contact portion 55 of the second side frame 43 may be referred to as "ground contact portions 55, 55." The end portion 42a of the first connecting portion 42 and the end portion 44a of the second connecting portion 44 may be referred to as "connecting portion end portions 42a, 44a."

[0031] 2, the first cross bar 45 is disposed in the width direction by spanning the front ends of the first inclined portions 54 of the first side frame 41 and the front ends of the first inclined portions 54 of the second side frame 43. The front end 21a of the bottom portion 21 of the bucket 12 is supported on the first cross bar 45 by a pair of first locking flaps 26.

[0032] FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of the V portion of FIG. 5, the second cross bar 46 is disposed in the width direction by spanning the bent portion 58 of the first side frame 41 and the bent portion 58 of the second side frame 43. The second cross bar 46 is formed, for example, from an angled bar with an L-shaped cross section. The upper end 25a of the rear wall 25 is fixed to the upper surface 46a of the second cross bar 46 by the second locking flap 27 and the fastening screw 32.

[0033] 1 and 2, the third cross bar 47 is disposed in the width direction by spanning the support portion 52 of the first side frame 41 and the support portion 52 of the second side frame 43. The third cross bar 47 is formed, for example, from an angle bar with an L-shaped cross section. The rear end 21b of the bottom portion 21 of the bucket 12 is placed on and supported by the lower surface 47a of the third cross bar 47.

[0034] <Wheels> 1 and 2, the pair of wheels 14 are rotatably supported on the left and right ends of the first cross bar 45. That is, the first cross bar 45 also serves as the axle for the pair of wheels 14. The left wheel 14 of the pair of wheels 14 is disposed outside the left side wall 22 of the bucket 12. The right wheel 14 of the pair of wheels 14 is disposed outside the right side wall 23 of the bucket 12. That is, the pair of wheels 14 are disposed on the front end (other end) side of the bucket 12. The pair of wheels 14 are provided at a distance from each other in the width direction of the frame 13. The pair of wheels 14, together with the ground contact portions 55, 55, can support the bucket 12 when the garden two-wheeler 10 is in use.

[0035] <handle> As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the handle 15 includes a pair of vertical pipes 71 and a handle portion 72. Base ends 71a of the pair of vertical pipes 71 are disposed inside the first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 44 through the openings 63. The pair of vertical pipes 71 are supported by the first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 44 with bolts 74 and nuts 75 so as to be rotatable diagonally upward rearward and forward. The bolts 74 are supported by being inserted into first through-holes (not shown) of the first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 44. The pair of vertical pipes 71 are provided with third through holes 77 near the bolts 74. Handle portions 72 are provided at the tip ends of the pair of vertical pipes 71. The handle 15 is integrally formed in a U-shape by the pair of vertical pipes 71 and the handle portions 72.

[0036] The handle 15 is supported around a pair of bolts 74 so that it can be positioned in a use position P1 and a folded position P2. The use position P1 is a position in which the handle 15 extends diagonally upward and rearward from the first connecting portion 42 at the rear end of the bucket 12 in a direction away from the bucket 12. When the handle 15 is positioned in the use position P1, the third through holes 77 of the pair of vertical pipes 71 are positioned coaxially with the second through holes 64 of the first connecting portion 42 and second connecting portion 44. The folded position P2 is a position in which the handle 15 is tilted along the bucket 12.

[0037] When the handle 15 is positioned at the use position P1, it is held at the use position P1 by the locking mechanism 16. When the handle 15 is positioned at the use position P1, the handle 72 is held at the height of the user's waist, for example. Therefore, the user can move the garden two-wheeler 10 forward by holding the handle 72 in their hands.

[0038] <Locking mechanism> As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the locking mechanism 16 includes, for example, a crossbar 81 and a pair of locking portions 82. The crossbar 81 is disposed in the width direction by spanning the end portion 42 a of the first connecting portion 42 and the end portion 44 a of the second connecting portion 44. The crossbar 81 is formed, for example, of a hollow rod. The crossbar 81 is disposed toward the second through-holes 64 of the first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 44. The crossbar 81 has elongated holes 84 on the first connecting portion 42 side and the second connecting portion 44 side. The elongated holes 84 extend in the longitudinal direction of the crossbar 81.

[0039] A pair of locking portions 82 are provided on the crossbar 81 on the first connecting portion 42 side and the second connecting portion 44 side. The locking portions 82 have a locking pin 86 and a knob 87. The locking pin 86 is housed inside the crossbar 81 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction. The locking pin 86 is provided with the knob 87. The knob 87 protrudes from the locking pin 86 to the outside of the crossbar 81 through the elongated hole 84.

[0040] According to the locking portion 82, by positioning the tab 87 at a first position P3 of the elongated hole 84, the locking pin 86 can be stored inside the crossbar 81. The first position P3 is located toward the center of the crossbar 81 in the elongated hole 84. Furthermore, according to the locking portion 82, by positioning the tab 87 at a second position P4 of the elongated hole 84, the locking pin 86 can be caused to protrude longitudinally outward from the crossbar 81. The protruding locking pin 86 is inserted into the second through-hole 64 and the third through-hole 77. The second position P4 is located on the end side of the crossbar 81 in the elongated hole 84 (i.e., on the side of the first connecting portion 42 and the side of the second connecting portion 44).

[0041] 1 and 4, when the handle 15 is placed in the use position P1, the pair of locking portions 82 has the knob 87 placed in the second position P4 of the elongated hole 84, whereby the locking pin 86 is inserted into the second through-hole 64 and the third through-hole 77. This allows the handle 15 to be held in the use position P1 by the locking pin 86. Furthermore, when the handle 15 is disposed in the use position P1, the pair of locking portions 82 has the tab 87 disposed in the first position P3 of the elongated hole 84, thereby causing the locking pin 86 to be removed from the second through-hole 64 and the third through-hole 77. This allows the handle 15 to be disposed from the use position P1 to the folded position P2 (see FIG. 3).

[0042] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the bucket 12 is compactly formed by limiting the width W to 298 to 359 mm and the depth D to 156 to 217 mm. This allows the garden two-wheel vehicle 10 to be formed compactly. Furthermore, with the handle 15 placed in the folded position P2, the garden two-wheel vehicle 10 can be carried by holding the crossbar 81 in hand. In other words, the crossbar 81 can also be used as a handle when carrying the garden two-wheel vehicle 10. This allows the garden two-wheel vehicle 10 to be easily carried by holding the crossbar 81 in hand. In the embodiment, the lock mechanism 16 is described as an example of a mechanism for holding the handle 15 at the use position P1, but the mechanism for holding the handle 15 at the use position P1 is not limited to the lock mechanism 16.

[0043] As described above, according to the garden two-wheeler 10 of the embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, the handle 15 can be placed in the folded position P2, where it is tilted along the bucket 12. Therefore, by folding the handle 15 from the use position P1, the garden two-wheeler 10 can be made compact. This allows the storage space for storing the garden two-wheeler 10 to be kept small.

[0044] 3 and 5, the end 42a of the first connecting portion 42 and the ground contact portion 55 of the first side frame 41 are arranged on the same plane PL with a gap between them in a direction intersecting the bucket 12. The end 44a of the second connecting portion 44 and the ground contact portion 55 of the second side frame 43 (see FIG. 1) are arranged on the same plane PL with a gap between them in a direction intersecting the bucket 12. Therefore, the ground contact portions 55, 55 and the connecting portion ends 42a, 44a can be arranged on the same plane PL. This allows the garden bicycle 10 to be placed upright in a compact manner with the ground contact portions 55 of the first side frame 41, the ground contact portions 55 of the second side frame 43, the end portions 42a of the first connecting portions 42, and the end portions 44a of the second connecting portions 44 in contact with the floor surface FL or the like. This makes it possible to further reduce the storage space required to store the garden bicycle 10.

[0045] Furthermore, the ground contact portion 55 of the first side frame 41 and the end 42a of the first connecting portion 42 are arranged on the same plane PL with a gap between them in a direction intersecting the bucket 12. The ground contact portion 55 of the second side frame 43 and the end 44a of the second connecting portion 44 are arranged on the same plane PL with a gap between them in a direction intersecting the bucket 12. As a result, when the garden bicycle 10 is leaned against a floor surface FL or the like, the ground contact portions 55, 55 and the connecting portion end portions 42a, 44a can prevent the garden bicycle 10 from tipping over in a direction intersecting the bucket 12.

[0046] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the bucket 12 has a narrow width W of 298 to 359 mm and a shallow depth D of 156 to 217 mm. A width W of 298 to 359 mm and a depth D of 156 to 217 mm allows a vegetable container (not shown) to be loaded, for example. Therefore, when the garden motorcycle 10 is used to transport cargo such as a vegetable container filled with vegetables, the balance of the garden motorcycle 10 can be properly maintained. This improves the ease of use of the garden motorcycle.

[0047] Furthermore, the front wall 24 of the bucket 12 is inclined upward at an inclination angle θ of 135 to 140° from the front edge of the bottom 21 toward the opening 28. This ensures a large opening 28 of the bucket 12. As a result, when loading a vegetable container into the bucket 12, for example, the space between the vegetable container and the front wall 24 of the bucket 12 can be used to properly load the vegetable container into the bucket 12. Also, when unloading a vegetable container from the bucket 12, the space between the vegetable container and the front wall 24 can be used to properly unload the vegetable container from the bucket 12.
